Have stuck with you all along Dan, we sort of think a like and I guess that's why I like your ideas, nice work.

I've lost my link to the Discussion Board - when I click on the link that used to take me to the details of the entries I just get put through to something called Twiigs? No sign of any water park details there at all - has somethign changed on here?

James, I'm the same person who said I need a decent stitch ride last week, and I'm here to support you this week. START THE COMEBACK!!!!!!

Wow, this poll did a complete flip flop since yesterday... CRAZY!
From James Koehl on August 1, 2010 at 10:24 AM
Melissa, I know what you mean. I got up this morning and nearly had to change clothes again.

Pixar Landing dominates. Go Dan.

Matt, sorry I didn't respond to you sooner. Thanks for the support! This has been quite a day. I'll be sure to put Stitch into the next expansion of Water Kingdom- I assume you want him in Tropical Sands. Any suggestions?

How did I go from winning by 30 to losing by 40?
From Anthony Murphy on August 1, 2010 at 5:45 PM
I loved both ideas alot, but I went with Water Kingdom because I love the attractions and water attractions.

As for the Pixar park, I liked that too, but I thought that it really did not fit the water theme for most of the lands. However, I would love to see it as an actual park and would have worked very well on the last TPA.

Good job on both submissions!

From James Koehl on August 1, 2010 at 6:05 PM
Thanks, Anthony. I appreciate your kind words.

James, I do actually. "Ohana, the Ride", the worlds first dueling water coaster. Nani and Lilo would be the track names with Nani moving slighty faster and rougher.(Stitch is not a track name, for he can't swim)
