Long time lurker, first time poster. Avid podcast listener and question submitter.
I'm on twitter, constantly stalking to the OU members, healthily.
HTF sent me here, a while ago. I guess I should finally become active, and contribute haha.
None of my friends appreciate the beauty of theme parks as much as I do, and that's fine, but it'll be nice to be surrounded by like-minded people, I hope.
I've just recently gotten back into Universal Orlando's resort. I had only been twice for the Grad Bash, and never really got to experience, so when HTF started showing me all sorts of Diagon Stuff, I had to get an annual pass. I love doing construction photo updates, I have a good chunk of photos from a few months ago, but I have to go back here soon and get back up to date.
My favorite ride at Universal would have to be a tie between Transformers 3D and The Mummy. I'm a rollercoaster addict at heart, and unfortunate I feel ashamed seeing HRRR, but that's a discussion for another day.
Over at IoA, I have to give it to Hulk, or Dueling Dragons back when it was just that.
I am a huge B&M fanboy, and I love studying the physics behind rides, and the mechanical aspects of it. Often times I'll find myself re-riding attractions just to watch parts move. I lost my mind when I loaded FJ from the stationary platform and had the pleasure of watching kuka arms run for about 6 minutes straight unobstructed.
Oh, and I like to ramble.
