This little exchange on Facebook made me laugh:
I promptly burst out laughing at the original posters retort, but what made it funnier was the Mac user predictably towing the company line:

Discovered an app for iPhone which I can see coming in handy in a theme park.
It's called Snikkr, and it shows a map and where you are, but can also plot your friends on there too (you create a friend network within the app with others who have it). Theres also a way to send your current location to people with a map of how to get there and stuff. I don't remember if it was free or not. If it wasn't, it certainly didn't cost very much. -------------------- IOU: 1xSignature...

Well.... after the big screen and before the roof - that narrows it down to a couple of years, doesn't it?

Does anyone find it a bit strange that WVTP still label rides like the Tornado & Black Hole new, when they both came out in 2006?
I can understand how Movie World labelled SDSC new until SE was built, but several attractions have been built since 2006...

I think they just haven't bothered changing the logo. I don't think it is intentionally advertising it as "new", just laziness

Besides, if you last went to the park in 1993, and are coming back now.... then it IS NEW!
(those sneaky marketing guys are just targeting that "once in a decade" demographic that has been sorely overlooked in the marketing budget) Yep - I'm voting too lazy to change it. -------------------- THERE'S A WORLD I'D LIKE TO LIVE IN, A WORLD I'D LIKE TO SEE

Has anyone here ever written out / know of where I can find the script to the Shrek 4D preshow (including what the attraction attendant says)? Some little Shrek fans I know want their dad to perform it for them. I'm on a USB prepaid stick so don't want to suck through my credit by viewing the preshow YouTube.

I have so far what the attraction attendant says, it's a bit hard to hear what Pinocchio says at times, along with the pigs but I'm working on it
 BOLD is what the attendant says, Italics is what the guests respond Welcome to Castle DuLoc Fairytale Creature Processing Center and dungeon. Be Careful whilst in the dungeon everyone, there is a lot of brand spanking new torture devices on the walls. So do stay away from them... for now Make sure you have a pair of Ogre Vision Glasses. They were designed By lord Farquaad before his untimely demise to be both practical and stylish. Please refrain from wearing your Ogre Vision Glasses until in the main torture chamber as Lord Farquaad is more likely to torture those with them on. And now by the order from the recent risen from the grave Lord Farquaad. It's my solemn duty and enormous pleasure to oversee the torture and escort you to your dank, squalled prison. Now, the punishment for talking during the presentation is... A Flogging... Ooooh... The Punishment for eating during the presentation is... A Flogging Ooooh... And the punishment for using cell phones is... A Flogging 32 days on the brink, 14 days on the rack and 48 days of non stop reality tv... And... another flogging! Ooooh... Now on the count of 3 let's wake up the piggies by shouting "WAKE UP PIGGIES" 1...2...3... WAKE UP PIGGIES Come on folks, you need to be louder. Lets try again... 1...2...3... WAKE UP PIGGIES! |

Well... I havn't seen Shrek 4D in a long time. I'm not sure what is worse... Reality TV or Justin Beiber... the only reality TV show IMO that is decent is Australia's / Brittan's Got Talent.
