We did not. To be honest, it looked very....carnivalish. But I don't live far from the one at Magical Midway in Orlando. I haven't been on it yet, and Jackie's been trying to make me ride it since we moved here in 09.

Last night my room mate Jackie (X Million Miles Away X on these boards) and our best friend Patrick went to the County Fair/Rodeo in town. We didn't stay too long, and it was quite awful, but I took pictures. So here they are. Kissimme Valley you say? What valleys are here in Osceola County? Typical blurry fair photo. They're signage was very up to date! Good for them =) We walk in and see this toy stand at the entrance. I can't think of a park down the road that might be upset by this! Can you? So yea....basically the only reason we came here was to get the credit. Zyklon is your typical traveling, compact Pinfari coaster. They manually pushed the cars out into the ride path. ...and they manually catch and stop the cars. Good job guys! Who's ready for some quality Pinfari? I know I sure am! Now on to the random photos of rides! This is a Star Flyer. Everybody say "ooooooooooh" Now everybody say "aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah" They had a Top Spin but we didn't ride it. The ride operator was standing within inches of the ride as it was going and playing chicken with it! We didn't want to ride when we saw that. What other classic carnival rides do we have here? Oh look! A Fire Ball. ...yeah, we didn't ride it. Oh look. A Zipper! ...We didn't ride it either. Generic carnival dark ride! Almost as good as the one down the road Oh look! Something we did ride! We enjoyed it. Gravitrons are good and all, but I miss living near a park with a Rotor Ooh look! Another dark ride! This one was really bad! Like....not even comically bad. Very German Fun House. What this has to do with a Fun House, I'll never understand! There Wave Swing was very pretty. What in all that is unholy is that!?!? Got to love carnival food! And before you ask, no. We did not eat this! Wow, there signs are really crappy at this place! Oh look, they had there very own 90s boy band of awesomeness! Yup...carry on This stand was making home made ice cream in this machine of some sort. We will end with their kiddie swing. It had the best artwork. Wow! It's like we are really at Walt Disney World! That's all for now. -Dainan

Wohoo! Go you Harry! =)

If I remember correctly, it was after the second vertical loop

Oh. My. God!

Working at the park was a lot of fun. I do miss it quite often. But I prefer the park I work at now. Side note, Batman the Ride was my first ever roller coaster with inversions when I was 8 years old =) "When the floor goes down, don't you frown. Batman's gonna turn your world upside down" -Dainan

Just don't let go of your enable too soon or you'll cause a setup

That's not secret service! Those are techs working on the show lighting on the roofs of the buildings in preparation for the president's speech.

I'm so happy Christmas season is over here in central Florida. And I can now walk down Main Street USA and hear the music I'm supposed to hear while walking down Main Street

I personally don't like the idea of losing Medusa, but compared to the rest of the coaster collection, it makes sense! Medusa just isn't as popular as it was back in the early 2000s. With other B&Ms in the park that do different things, Medusa is just dull. I'm sure the general public doesn't even notice a difference between Green Lantern and Medusa except for the fact that one stands up! Also, if anyone remembers, Medusa's last year as "Medusa," the ride didn't open till noon because it wasn't drawing enough crowds. Medusa being transformed into Bizarro was its last leg at life. Because of Medusa's location, I'm sure if the park got rid of it, most guests wouldnt even notice that something is missing. As for Superman, yes I would preffer to see that go. However, Superman draws crowds and is still popular amongst the general public. Keep in mind, this is all just speculation. -Dainan

Only five more months before the mountain comes back =)

Adventureland was at Kennywood. Zombieland was at Wild Adventures in Valdosta, GA

Not to beat a dead horse! But I felt the need to share this! I remember when this came out, my brother, sister, friends and I used to watch this and crack up! Who would of thought 5 years later it would really happen. Anyway, enjoy the video =) -Dainan

I seriously can't believe that this is my third Christmas with Disney http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5g4lY8Y3eoo Merry Christmas

A few of my friends are in this video! (Tower of Terror) MERRY CHRISTMAS EVE! =)

Oooh! I'm so excited for our new Vekoma Boomerang!

Sweet! I wonder where it'll go. Is there room to expand in Hollywood with out getting rid of something?

They announced it today?

My room mate pointed out that 5th avenue is the only way for Universal Team Members to get to IOA. There has also been a lot of talk today among the Universal Team Members that J.K. Rowling only has full control over the area in IOA. If they were to expand it to USF they would have to a separate agreement. Another thing being said is that being it's such a big area, it might be something entirely different. Universal has been doing surveys for almost a year now about what new area the guests would like to see. Some of the areas consisted of Lord of The RIngs, Transformer, Star Treck, etc. There's a lot of rumors flying around down here. This should get interesting as time rolls on -Dainan

Sounds expensive, but if they were to really do this, I have no doubt in my mind Universal could pull it off

There have been rumors about it's official closure all year. As sad as I am to see my favorite part of the park go, I'm not entirely surprised. I haven't heard this rumor about it being a Wizarding World expansion, but who knows, it could be true. Or it could be Transformers like in California. -Dainan

GAcoaster and I rode Manta today....it was a walk on! It was pretty awesome
