[QUOTE=the2stranger]I haven't yet heard the new Dargonforce, I'm very curious though :)
especially about this screamed/growled vocals.

I hope to catch them on a show again this year, awesome live-act[/QUOTE]

[QUOTE=Stormrider331]I remember that. It was cool.

Too bad they closed King Kong. Even though the Mummy is better...i liked the King Kong ride in the subway and all.[/QUOTE]

Hahahahahah. Quick story about my family, specifically my mom, about our trip to Universal Studios a couple summers ago.

My mom isn't big on roller coasters and scary things. But, since The Mummy was the brand new ride (and the building it was in was pretty impressive), she wanted to go in.

Little did she know it was actually a ride (even though I told her that).

Of course, she's asking the workers there "Is this scary?" and things like that, and so naturally they have to act like it is: "Oh, definitely, the scariest ride we have - it'll chill you to the booooooone!"

So, while we're sitting in line, my mom is pretty much on ultimate freak-out mode. She could have bailed so many times and I would have gone with her (I never saw any of the Mummy movies so I didn't really give two shi[font=verdana]t[/font]s and a fuc[font=verdana]k[/font] about the ride to begin with), but nope, she sat down next to me in the cart.

To make a long story short, she went from ultimate freak-out mode to screaming lunatic, especially when the tracks change and you fall straight down backwards and then on an angle, and getting misted, and seeing all the animations and 'scary noises,' and what-have-you.

And so, that's probably the scariest thing my mom will ever do in her life - and she survived.

And she never told the story as in, "I conquered this ride even though I was petrified," it's always, "Oh my God, it was terrible, it was scary as hell, I could barely walk after because it was so scary..." and so on. Eventually, I got her to tell the real story to her co-workers when I went out to lunch with her on her lunch break with her co-workers, and now she has some form of pride in doing that ride.

It was still funny as hell, though.

Thats a funny story. My mom doesnt realy do any rides. The first time we went on the Jurassic park one, my mom ripped her raincoat in the big drop at the end.

my grandparents...or only my grandfather ...i dont remember...went with us on The Mummy and they liked it.

My grand mother loves water rides. At islands of Adventuures her favorite ride is probably The Popeye one. We get such a big laugh out of that ride when we come out all soaked and stuff.

kurrpt 01-18-2006 11:30 AM

i just went there this past september. On day 2 at the park i had the WORST head cold. Rides like "back to the future" were a nightmare for that reason.



When i did the Jimmy Neutron ride, i INSISTED that we ride in the NO MOTION seats.


sounds pathetic, i know

I haven't heard any growled vocals :confused:


I was in HMV today, and all the Metallica CDs are on sale. In real terms, that means Metallica CDs only cost slightly more than everything else in the store.[/QUOTE]
Metallica and Opeth CD's are always way more expensive than they should be.

Back to the future gives me a headache. I dont realy like the old simulator stuff. Except for Spider man which is a blast. But that ones different...its new.

I managed to get a cheap Opeth CD a couple of weeks ago actually. Only £7.99

I bought Morningrise about a week and half ago and got it for 16.99 US$.
Very good price...Orchid here is like 30 CAN$. Its crazy.

for some reason, my girl gets really jumpy during those rides. I think she screamed more during that, then any roller coaster or ride at disney world.

Jom 01-18-2006 11:39 AM

The Back to the Future ride sucks, even without a headcold. I thought I had a concussion coming out of it because I sat in the back row, next to the door, next to my dad, who's a pretty big guy. I mean, I'm just as tall and maybe taller than him, but he outweighs me by fifty pounds or so, and those rides were cramped as hell.

Yeah, Puss In Boots ruled.

[quote=storm] I dont realy like the old simulator stuff. Except for Spider man which is a blast. But that ones different...its new.[/quote]

Yeah, Spiderman was cool, but it made me really dizzy because of all the colors moving so damn fast.

I forget what else I did there, because it was awhile ago. But I'm sure if people mentioned rides, I'd be like, "Yeah, I rode that."

Oh, I remember going to Nickelodeon studios, and being the only eighteen year old in the audience. That's one thing I'll never forgive my parents for, hahaha.

Jev 01-18-2006 11:39 AM

[QUOTE=Spat Out Plath]But there were boxsets cheaper than every Metallica CD, and this is supposed to be 'HMV's Biggest Sale Ever!' It's a joke; I got a far superior Public Enemy for E7, and I can't even buy a Metallica CD for less than 20. The new Dragonforce was cheaper![/QUOTE]
I bought all mine off play so I can't really relate to you but I did see most of the power metal albums were redicuously(that's wrong) priced.

Rides: Jaws, Twister and Terminator 2. All good rides.

I rather Islands of Adventures though...

kurrpt 01-18-2006 11:43 AM

universal...



we rode the hulk coaster, the dueling dragons coaster (worst wait ever)

we did the doctor doom tower of doom. The MIB ride was cool as hell, where you shoot targets. I beat the sh!t out of every the ENTIRE day cause i realized early you could just hold the trigger down :lol:

Spiderman was done, jimmy neutron, shred 3D, the mummy, the TWISTER ride which is more of a demonstration then actual ride.

Forgot about MIB. I was lucky when it came to Dueling Dragons, never waited very long. Uusaly wait about 15 minutes. The line has nice scenery though.

The Eeight voyage of Sinbad is funny too. Sinbad at the end was waving to the crowd goodbye, and like a big idiot i waved back :p ..that was a few weeks ago too.

Stoic 01-18-2006 11:46 AM

[QUOTE=Jom]The Disney animators are a bit twisted, it seems. There appears to be one or two sex-related "Easter eggs" inside their movies.

Examples:

1. The priest's boner in [i]The Little Mermaid[/i] - talk about foreshadowing, hm? Heh, heh.

2. In [i]The Lion King[/i], after the stampede scene, there's a duststorm that serves as a transition - the duststorm swirls to spell "sex" at one point.

And there are others, but I can't think of them this early.[/QUOTE]

I remember reading some relevant things about disney movies in the da vinci code. :P

[QUOTE=Jom]
I also liked [i]Finding Nemo[/i].

[QUOTE=the2stranger]I hope to get some income out of a new job soon, otherwise I won't be buying many new cds soon :(

Yeah,

*Walks into Music Zone*

"Ooh, big sale! I'll go to Metallica and get me "..And Justice.."

*Finds Metallica*

"WTF!? This CD isn't on sale! It's £14.99!"

jaws was MIA at the time i went

didnt do the sinbad thing, but i DID break my second pair of sunglasses there. I bought a pair of Oakleys from a dude in the surf shop right outside the front gate. The guy has his jaw wired shut. After conversating for 10 minutes he asks THEN if i can understand him :lol:

i think we are going back in 08'. I was surprised how much i liked it being 23

jpj 01-18-2006 12:00 PM

I was just at Universal/Disney this past summer. I though The Mummy ride was one of the coolest rides I'd ever been on. Spiderman and MIB were awesome as well, Spiderman was well worth the ridiculous wait.

And the Aerosmith rollercoaster at MGM, that was beyond awesome...

/reminisces

kurrpt 01-18-2006 12:07 PM

yea, i liked the aerosmith ride, even tho i hate the band.



to me, the experience is >>>>>>>>> X a million better then the rides

My brother convinced me to go on the Aerosmith one because it was inside and he said it didn't go upside down. Then, when we got inside the building where you could see it he goes, "I wonder why there are shoulder harnesses?"

Me = :eek:

The bastard tricked me. It was worth it though, you couldn't even tell you went upside down because it's dark inside.
