« on: December 05, 2010, 04:57:24 PM »
This helps me get thru the winter!

Since I had much fun at the 2010 St. Louis / Holliwood Nights trip..time to get some 2011 ideas going.

-2011 Texas Giant
-2011 Holliwood Horror Nights / Cheetah Hunt
-Initimator 2011 Redo...wasn't a fan but would try it again just for Grizzly!
-2011 Holiwood Nights (You still have that Timberliner ticket somewhere right?)
-Knight Valley, Shenzhen, China - Ok you can I can dream

No Wisconsin...

My only planned trip so far is La Ronde + U2 concert in July. Probably only a half day at La Ronda.

I'm sure I'll be at WDW at least a few times lol

Aside from that, I'll likely be able to hit SFOT and Cedar Point via business trips and I'd like to get to Holiwood Nights again as the "big" trip.

I'm planning a VERY early Dollywood trip since I doubt I'll get there by the end of this year, so maybe their opening weekend.

Plan to do KD and maybe BGW one weekend since I really need the 305 credit, but I'm waiting till it's open before I go as I've got everything else.

Will hit up SFoG a little later to give the new credit time to open.

'Definite' plans are:
Texas trip for Giant and credits, possibly/probably memorial day weekend.
Coastermania (skipping HWN this year for that) and hopefully Kings Island.
CBuzz's Fall Affair and maybe Beech Bend
July 4 weekend trip north
Labor Day weekend trip north

Hope to get tons of credits on those last two.

I just noticed that the 2011 Holiwood Nights Flyer is up thier website. No real changes from last year. No mention of claws. The price went up a buck.

In related news PPP is going to be on thanksgiving again for me.

Who's possibly going to ocboulderfest this year? Now that i've picked it in the draft I have to finally ride it.

I'll go if you'll be there. :)

So I guess that means no PPP for you this year?

Regarding HoliWood Nights, every year is a different "movie theme".

PPP was on thanksgiving this year too.. I just have to miss hangover day.

I'll probably hit up one, or two of these three events. Likely not all of them.

Random Question... has anyone ever been to Famous Daves at CP's Marina? If the food awesome, or just overpriced and cedarpointishy?

If you like barbecue, it's your typical Famous Dave's chain fare. (Not a fan of any barbecue myself.)

I like barbecue as long as the food isn't rough. Anything that has been barbecued has to be chewy for me or it will ruin my entire meal, I am an extremely picky eater.

Yes Famous Dave's is a nationwide chain down here, neighbor.

Menu looks like a montana's. Not too pricy considering it's walking distance from CP. Not really anything on the menu over $20. I however am used to Can. restraunt prices which are usually about 20% higher. If I had to chose between a pulled pork sandwich from famous daves for $9.99, and a cold burger and fries from CP midway for $8.99... I'll take Daves next time. Usually my fam and I bust into Sandusky for Ruby Tuesdays, Chili's, or the all might Olive Garden. Next time deffinatly tryin daves.

So next time you guys come up to Canadas Wonderland my famous bbqed Canadian Bacon won't excite? lol

LOL.  Sorry, won't get me excited. I'm sure Bubba will love it though.

Yeah, I'd rather go to Dave's than eat at CP as well. But Chili's... now I LOVE Chili's!
