But we stopped in China Town to get some dinner, because you can get two huge meat buns and a 7-Up for $1.75!

I don't have pictures but we also went to the Marriot Marque and played in the 450ft glass elevators, before going home  ;D .

$1.75 for that!  I wish the Chinese Food places that delivered here had some meat buns!

Nice update guys

Another food I must try, never even heard of those before.

It's just funny to say  " hey , nice meat buns"

What happened to their drop ride, does it always sit like that on the off season. April 1st huh?  Might be the first coaster of the season for me.

Those meat buns are great, but not as good as the ones in Japan. And Super Shot is always on it's side in the Off Season.

We also hit Nathans and got some overpriced food...$2.50 for a Hot dog!! Chuck knows how overpriced it is too!

In that elevator, i kid you not, your ears pop, and you feel the motion of it rip through you, its pretty much, not to mention just about the height of Kingda Ka, considering im 5' 11, I think I tied it

Wade: I was calling from Staten Island, not Brooklyn, but my fault

Also, the Wonder Wheel was getting some welding and repainting done
