I will be down at the Royal again in December or Late January again

Wade/guys if you want free food and drink sneak up to the 7th floor in Tower, I think 3 (the tower near the pool)
you need a key card to get to the floor by elevator but if you go to the 6th floor and walk up to the 7th you can get it.

the 7th floor is the club suite floor where they have free Breakfast,Happy hour (beer and wine and food and desert.
the handicap person I go with they give him the access card for free. :D
Once on the 7th they don't check your card ,just walk in like you own the place.
its at the end of the hallway.  ;)

the room is really just like 3 or 4 room made into one big room with 2 big TV's Internet etc.
its great.
A job I had years ago my boss used to get the Club Suite at the Wichovia Center
it was the Radio station suite.
it was great FLyers,76ers  free food  free drink
and once and awhile you would see some radio guys from 610wip and WMMR in there like Mike Misinelli or  and Howard Eskin and more.

I know you guys like running back and fourth between El Toro and Kingda Ka, but I miss stuff like this, even if this one was rarely open. Someday I hope GREAT flats rides can coincide with great coasters.

why was it removed ?
I didn't go to the park that year and never knew it was even in the park
it looks cool
We need more rides like these in the park.

right now the park has a good collection of coasters but lacks any good flats like these type rides.

I rode it down in St Louis. It was pretty fun but they ran a really tame cycle as compared to GADV.

I was riding by a ATT store and decided to take a feel on the phone
i tried it for about 10 minutes
its thin
the screen is the nicest part of the phone
still over priced
and no 3G

the onscreen keyboard keys are a litttle small for my fat fingers
its a closed system

I have my pocket pc cooked with a custom operating system
so many free apps for my device and I can change my battery
and I can do so much more

but it is a nice looking device/screen and any advancemnt like this will only bring better things from all the other players in this field
i'll keep my 8525 for now

I found out yesterday that I waisted my four free GA tickets that I got as an employee. I gave them to a co-worker who went to the water park on Saturday at 12 noon. They said they didn't mind the long lines but they said there was nothing to do.  There are 18 really good water slides, the largest lazy river in the world and a wave pool. They didn't want to go to the ride park because they had a kid in the demographic hole the park has created: Too big for the kiddie rides; too small for the major coasters, too bored of the old flat rides. The parents aren't also thrill ride people. The water park was an awesome alternative. I'm sorry I waisted my tickets when I would have given them to people who would have enjoyed them.

Thanks for the video Bubba. That twin flip was fun too. The Malestrom at Morey's, the Loop-o-plane at Keansburg and the Moby Dick rides are great.

Some rumors from screamscape

Rumor - (8/8/07) It was mentioned at the ACE Preservation Con that we wouldn?t see a new coaster in the park until 2009.

New Attractions - Rumor - (8/8/07) The park GM gave a hint that next year?s attraction would be ?spicy?. I?m not sure if it was mentioned that this would be a new ?ride? or simply a new addition to the park in which it could refer to a new restaurant.

(8/8/07) During the ACE Preservation Con over the past weekend apparently the GM of Six Flags Great Adventure mentioned that we probably wont see Chiller run again until next season

remember this is all rumored
I heard they put 1.5 million into Chiller this past year

------------------
Stock over $4
before the close at around 3:40 someone bought 573,000 shares @ $3.90

Stock info SIX on the RISE

SIX 4.02, +0.43, +12.0% ) were leading the surge higher early in the day, with those bonds trading up as much as 5 points. Most other liquid junk bonds were up 1-2 points, according to KDP's Monteith.

I'm Finding Forever with some Common Sense.  Smooooooooth.  This album (if my computer wasn't just pushed back like a sidekick rapper's album by HP) would inspire a new NL creation by me, featuring the two new elements I've been daydreaming about.  Wild thought-provocation like an Intamin with the smooth sophistication of a B&M.  Classic.
