Taking the family (myself, wife, two sons ages16 & 15, and daughter, age 5) to Valleyfair for the first time at the end of July. What rides should my sons and I hit first when the gates open? We are roller coaster enthusiasts first and foremost.

I will be taking my family in two weeks for the first time. My sons and myself love roller coasters and definitely want to hit all the coasters in the park and spend some time in Boomerang Bay.

What order should we hit the coasters? Be specific, please. No general answers like "Start at the back of the park."

I will be heading to Houston with my wife, 14 & 13 year old sons, and 3 year old daughter. I have read that the Houston Zoo is one of the best in the country? Those of you in the know, what makes it so special and different from other zoos?

I will be heading to Dallas later this month with my wife, 14 & 13 year old sons, and 3 year old daughter, and am considering a trip to this museum.

I have been searching the internet to find the price, but it isn't listed on the HEB website. I need to know if it is cheaper to buying online for a $10 per ticket discount, or wait and purchase from HEB.

I've heard that the dolphins are a little more active in the morning when the park first opens, but also don't want to wait in a 2 hour line for rollercoasters, either. My wife and I will be going in July with two boys (14 & 13) and a girl (age 3).

I'll be using Adobe Premiere Elements as my software. Both these computers are equally priced:

Computer #1

Processor:AMD Phenom II X6 1035T(2.6GHz)

Processor Main Features:64 bit Six-Core Processor

Cache Per Processor:6 x 512KB L2 Cache

Memory:8GB DDR3 1333

Hard Drive:1.5TB SATA

Optical Drive 1:16X DVD±R/RW SuperMulti Drive

Graphics:ATI Radeon HD 5750 with 1024MB of dedicated GDDR5 VRAM

Computer #2

Processor:AMD Phenom II X4 945(3.0GHz)

Processor Main Features:64 bit Quad-Core Processor

Cache Per Processor:4 x 512KB L2 Cache

Memory:8GB DDR3 1333

Hard Drive:1TB SATA

Optical Drive 1:Blu-ray Disc 4X BD-ROM / DVD-SuperMulti Drive

Optical Drive 2:16X DVD±R/RW SuperMulti Drive

I don't need a Blu-ray player. I love the idea of the bigger hard drive on computer #1 and the better video card, but the processor appears to be a bit slower. It is a Hex-Core whereas computer #2 has a Quad-Core, and I have to admit I'm not sure which one will be better for video editing. HELP!

I have a budget of under $900. I will be using Adobe Premiere Elements 8 as my editing program. Due to my budget, a few compromises will need to be made, but since I'm using Premiere Elements and not the professional version of the software, I'm hoping I can find a system that is adequate.

My question is what is more important in video editing: fast processor, fast and large video card, or lots of RAM?

My family and I will be going to Cedar Point on two weekdays during the last week in July. We have 3 kids, ages 12, 11, and 1 1/2. The two older ones love roller coasters as do my wife and I. Obviously the youngest will not be able to ride the coasters. Does Cedar Point allow some sort of rider exchange like Disney parks? Ideally, I would like to stand in line with my entire family, ride with one of my older kids, then have my wife pass the youngest off to me at the end of my ride so that she can ride with the other child.

I'm planning a trip there late in the summer, but would like to start budgeting now. I will probably just stay at Breaker's Express. What were the costs of the rooms last year? What about the package deals they offer with discounted park tickets?

I tested negative for the 23 most common mutations of the gene that causes CF. I know that there is a 4% chance for caucasians like myself to be a carrier, but would assume that is less for me due to my test results. My wife is a CF carrier and we have a 1 year old daughter. She still worries that our daughter is at risk.

I see a lot of templates that will tell the user whether they are correct or incorrect, but I'm looking for the additional option of automatically scoring the quiz so that the user will see how many they get correct out of 10 questions. I know they could do this by hand, but that would not suit the needs for the project I'm developing this for.

They will be ages 12 & 11 when we drive through Ohio during our next summer vacation. They have passing interests in music, mainly newer bands, but also enjoy some of the rock music I listened to growing up and still listen to.

Some of Universal Studios Orlando's biggest attractions are Marvel based, such as The Hulk rollercoaster and the Spider-Man attraction. I doubt if Disney is going to allow their direct competitor to maintain those attractions.

I'm considering taking the family out there next summer. I know you can get discounted tickets and get early entry if you stay at one of the Cedar Point hotels, but the price of an economy room is double that of a 2 to 3 star off-site hotel. Is the extra price to get in the park early worth it?

There was a student in my class today wearing a Marvel Comics t-shirt with a character that no one can figure out. He looks like Batman with his face covered by a hood with ears that look like those on Batman's costume. He also has bright yellow eyes.

When Magic Kingdom opens, most guest head to three main rides: Space Mountain, Big Thunder Railroad, and Splash Mountain. With the latter two rides being in roughly the same area, how should one adjust the "Unofficial Guide to Walt Disney World"' touring plan?

I know she wants one, but I'd rather her pick the design instead of me doing it. She has said she's undecided on whether to get a mother's ring or a family ring which is why I haven't done it myself. I need ideas as to what to give her on Mother's Day to build a little excitement as to letting her design her own.

What order is the best way to ride the rides so as to avoid long lines? How do you think the new rollercoaster "Prowler" will fit into a touring plan?
