I hate the fact that I live less than 10 minutes away (I live about 5 minutes from the Springhill Suites) from what was once a park and I never got to visit :x , it's a boring mall now with the only ride being a carousel though not the one that used to be at the park.

He's kind of sad and pathetic

The guy you called "Mr. Freeze" is actually "Capt. Cold," and was one of the Flash's arch enemies. (Yeah, I am a fount of geeky, useless knowledge.)


Yes, I was about to point that out too and show off my comic book geekness.

5 bonus points if you can name the purple guy to the left. I can do it. My brother can do it and tell you the life history of the character too. :)

Glad you had a great time at Great Adventure! Thankfully Toro got back up and running for Rise and Scream after some huge storms blew through. That guy who plays Captain Cold is really into his character, every time I take one of my VIP tours through the Boardwalk, he's always talking about the Legion of Doom or asking people if they've seen The Flash. I wish you could've stayed to see the Glow in the Park Parade, it is very well done in my opinion, I try and suggest it to everyone that I see.

Every tour I've done that's a family loves both The Dark Knight and Glow in the Park. I know a lot of people complain about The Dark Knight as not being an awesome roller coaster, but when I take these families on the ride, they love that everyone can ride it and the kids love it. I hate when people say that its a failure because its not. The whole point of the ride was to make something the whole family can enjoy, and I think they hit that target pretty well.

I've gone pantless!

I think he's Sinestro, one of Green Lantern's old foes.

^ You are correct Chuck, it is Sinestro and he's actually become a big part of the Green Lantern universe again over the last year or so. OK, now I'M getting too geeky for my own good! Anyway, it's cool to see members of the Legion of Doom roaming around the Six Flags parks.

Awesome TR as usual Ted. I wish I had known that you guys were in the area this past weekend. Kim and I probably could have come out and met up for a bit.
