Baltimore - Tennessee

Arizona - Carolina

Philadelphia - NY(N NJ grrr) Giants.

Very quietly I'm looking at the AFC and picking who I do and do not want to see. I like Baltimore alot. It's very hard to pick between those two. I won't comment about the other teams, not decided there except for my team vs. Giants. What Giants team will arrive? The EAGLES Defense has been very solid. Hopefully it's a repeat of the December matchup where Brandon Jacobs got messed up by us and the Birds had a very strong game. ]]> Sports Bar Leo C http://www.thrillnetwork.com/boards/sports-bar-18/50488-nfl-playoffs-divisional-round-2009-a.html http://www.thrillnetwork.com/boards/tn-town-square-137/50483-im-new.html Tue, 06 Jan 2009 00:16:07 GMT just wanted to give a shout out and introduce myself im annia just wanted to give a shout out and introduce myself im annia ]]> TN Town Square annia http://www.thrillnetwork.com/boards/tn-town-square-137/50483-im-new.html http://www.thrillnetwork.com/boards/park-ride-construction-155/50477-venture-river-2009-a.html Mon, 05 Jan 2009 22:25:32 GMT Well the closest water park to me (Venture River) has added a slide but it is a simple straight down slide with some dips. No curves, no tunnel, this has to be about as basic as you can get. I just don't understand why they couldn't have been alittle more elaborate. It may be closest but I will be driving to Splashin Safari and Dollywood's Splash country. I guess I am sounding off alittle. I am normally fairly positive but I don't understand adding this simple of a slide at all.

I was thinking of taking some 1-2 day trips this year to some of the smaller parks in and around Ohio. Waldameer in Erie, PA and Camden Park in Huntington, WVA are definites, but I have always wanted to check out Coney Island in Cincinatti, and the I-X indoor amusement park in Cleveland. Can anyone tell me if either of these is worth the trip? I love King's Island but I have found that I also enjoy the more relaxed pace of smaller parks around Cincy. That proved to be true when we left King's Island in the middle of the day to go over to the Beach Waterpark. I was also fortunate to go to Stricker's Grove one year on the last day of operation in 07 and I got to ride the Tornado. The I-X amusement park (March 27-April19, 2009) looks fun and might be a sure cure for cabin fever while we await the start of the 09' season. Can anyone who has been to either of these parks let me know if they are any good? ]]> Trip Reports and Travel Tips Griswold http://www.thrillnetwork.com/boards/trip-reports-travel-tips-48/50449-small-parks-within-few-hours-drive-columbus-ohio.html http://www.thrillnetwork.com/boards/trip-reports-travel-tips-48/50437-ptr-six-flags-over-texass-holiday-park.html Sat, 03 Jan 2009 04:18:28 GMT *SIX FLAGS over TEXAS -- HOLIDAY IN THE PARK* *FULL UPDATE: FULL PTR HYPERLINK (http://www.midwestinfoguide.com/migcrew/sfot_hitp/)* Image: http://i198.photobucket.com/albums/aa109/Dustijn/ptr/HitP/2.jpg Party Time at SFoT Image:...

The person who guesses it right, gets to post the next picture. Make sure YOU know what coaster it is before you post it so you know when they get it right! My husband has been playing this game with me lately, so I'll start with a picture he gave me to guess.

Valdosta, GA- It may be wintertime now, but the magic-makers at Wild Adventures Theme Park are busy thinking of summer fun!

This became evident when park officials today announced that, greeting visitors for the 2009 season, will be a sparkling and updated Splash Island Water Park, and it will be the biggest capital investment in recent park history.

“Welcome to paradise,” said park General Manager Bob Montgomery. “We are totally renovating and improving what has been one of the finest and most popular waterparks in the entire region, with new theming, new facilities, additional seating and shade structures and a new water ride adventure guests won’t believe.”

When guests enter Splash Island they will step into a Polynesian paradise with an all-new water ride, revamped restaurant called Surfside Cafe, expanded locker facilities and more shaded areas. Splash Island is a totally re-themed water park with additions and improvements to enhance guests’ tropical experience. “We wanted to bring a little of the Polynesian tropical feel and adventure to the area,” said Montgomery.

The new water ride is called the Wahee Cyclone, and it is the only such water ride in the southern Georgia-northern Florida area. Wahee Cyclone is essentially a giant funnel, standing forty-eight feet tall and forty-five feet wide. Four riders in a cloverleaf-like raft plummet through an enclosed tube in complete darkness then free-fall into a huge funnel that rockets riders up one side and down the other until the riders are deposited through the end of the funnel.

Splash Island offers guest twelve-acres of wet fun with more than ten water activities, including six water slides, tropical lagoons, a 1,000-foot lazy river, a special area just for kids, and a 20,000 square-foot wave pool.

Projected opening date for Splash Island is Saturday, March 28, 2009. Passport holders will be able to catch a sneak peek of the new Wahee Cyclone and re-themed water park March 21. As in the past, Splash Island is FREE with park admission. Wild Adventures Theme Park opens Saturday, March 14, 2009.

Season Passports for Wild Adventure are now on sale for just $79, and include unlimited park admission for the 2009 season. Guests can purchase a Gold Passport for $99 and enjoy free parking, free miniature golf and free go-karts all season long.

What a way to ring in the New Year with the Winter Classic at Wrigley Field. The Detroit Red Wings took down the Blackhawks 6 to 4. Hope everyone got to watch it, the event was real good, and improvement over last years game, and paves the way for some more outdoor games to come.

The Sharks have fallen off the high horse and seem to be struggling as of late, losing to the Minnesota Wild and St. Louis Blues. 2009 should be a interesting season, no sloppy seconds!

And Mats Sundin signed with the Vancouver Canucks...wtf? ]]> Sports Bar Kyle L http://www.thrillnetwork.com/boards/sports-bar-18/50422-january-nhl.html http://www.thrillnetwork.com/boards/parks-3/50420-birthday-admission-09-wdw-dl.html Fri, 02 Jan 2009 03:59:27 GMT I just saw a Disney commercial for their 2009 promotion: "Start your birthday off right with the most magical birthday present of all: free admission on your birthday during 2009 to one of the Theme Parks of Walt Disney World® or Disneyland® Resort*! It's our gift to you and it all begins right here...."

A bunch of you know I'm not a big Disney fan but I generally cleaned house with the missing WDW credits I needed this past Columbus Day. I would definitely chose Disneyland. I like the vibe there more and I'm still missing Space Mountain and now Finding Nemo subs from that park.

Which park would you choose? ]]> Parks Leo C http://www.thrillnetwork.com/boards/parks-3/50420-birthday-admission-09-wdw-dl.html http://www.thrillnetwork.com/boards/general-talk-7/50410-happy-new-year.html Thu, 01 Jan 2009 05:21:10 GMT Best wishes for ,09.
