Did anyone else notice that the yellow train on MF made its signature noise at the top of the lift? I didn't catch Jeff on MF, but I did see Dan on PT, or at least, I think I saw him.

They didn't do Power Tower, Dan. Hell, they only did three minutes on The Force. If you can see through the vibration, you can see Steph and I on the curves, at least if you know which seat to look in.
Bad memory, in a way, I just remembered getting a ticket later that morning in Linndale.

They said it takes you up 312 feet and drops you to 12 feet = 300 feet and it is the steepest (until next years PKD addition.) They may have not gotten the exact measurements (we all know it's 310' 11'', right Jeff?) but once you do the the math, they were right on the drop height.

My sister was supposed to have taped this... we'll see if she remembered when I get home tonight. (I work for a newspaper so late night shifts are the norm...) Anyway, the Travel Channel had two show on tonight as well. "Amusement Parks" at 8 pm and "Billion Dollar Fun" at 10 pm. ALSO, there is supposed to be a show on thrill rides on TLC this Friday at 8 p.m.

Hey... the people who produced the show were from the UK. They don't know what the hell feet and inches are anyway!
