Believe it or not, I really like Mummy at USO. I don't think it gets much love, but still a huge favorite of mine. As far as wood, I think Lightening Racer gets a bum rap too. It is a wonderfully designed ride and love those Millenium Flyer trains to death!!!

I think that parks are finally realizing that bigger is not always better. I would rather ride a smaller, well thought out, well themed, original coaster than some parking-lot mega with no theming.

All of the Busch parks offer excellent food. Freshly prepared real ingredients. Pricey though, but what do you expect at a theme park. Also, the table service restaraunts at Universal offer quality fare as well.

I always thought that the drop on Hypersonic was a dud. The drop is only about half as tall as the ride up. I had always wished it was the other way around... shorter ride up and longer down.

Universal Orlando is my favorite vacation destination. I go down once a year and stay onsite at the Royal Pacific for 2 weeks. I agree with your love of the Hulk. Many find it forceless and boring, but I disagree completely. I find it well paced and themed perfectly; something that can be said about...
