  1. Actually I just went to AE and got a good deal on shorts/shirts atm..shorts were 16.99 and polo was 12 I think, not too bad. Boxers were a rip off though..8 bucks for glow in the dark, I'll pass and wait till they're on sale
  2. Lol if he's a DB sup...he's probably part of the DB crew problem this year...hell could even be the Howard guy that I was ****ed at lol
  3. You're probably blocked as much as I am, I can't see Flickr stuff, it's all blocked by US Mil.
  4. Ramstein AB is in Germany, not italy lol. And yeah Italian pilots and 67 people on the ground died from that, it was crazy.
  5. ^Watch out we've got a badass over here
  6. Awesome event, good job down there guys
  7. Polo and cargo shorts...always looking good Anyways, of course of it's late they'll bust out people haha, the quicker they move the quicker they all go home and get ready for the next OC (or double as you guys call it)
  8. I know Just as much as the rest of you :-P
  9. ^Dont give away secrets to those who don't want to know...I'm with you & know all of this stuff and how it works...but I'm sure others don't want to be spoiled
  10. Also music pre show was John Morris-Belgium Circuis Episode from The Elephant Man Soundtrack
  11. Position of the weight as well as the rotation in general. I would usually spin the cars in an opposite direction to "fling" them at the start of the ride. However with Monster, it's not meant to spin like a scrambler type ride, it's a very "eccentric" and random spin cycle per car. Also I will say CP's monster does spin slightly faster, and we are able to more delicately control the ride as it's still run full manual
  12. ^Same thing basically both work quite well
  13. ^you totally forgot to type something in after
  14. Consult your primary care physician first, but I would recommend a scopolamine patch, but I am not your physicial or know your medical background to diagnose and treat, however this is one recommendation I would have you and your doctor look into
  15. Oh gotcha I'll give ya that I will say too, there's how many parks worldwide B&M has associations with that could be getting a new ride, so even if you see track that means nothing quite honestly. It is cool to see it built/being built before it arrives at the park though. Gives you a whole new look on the ride design & quality. One question I just wondered though. Who makes the trains? Clermont doesn't make these as I'm almost positive. Are they shipped directly from B&M or what?
  16. Actually clermont isn't too bad to enthusiasts who wanna get a look, apparently a few KI ride op friends put something together & got to look around outside of the plant at track sitting out last year...Things could change over a year I'm sure but they did get a chance to go drop by and snap pics from the plant, just not get too involved with inside or ask questions/interview.
  17. Oh and just thought of this too...It could stop at lift crest and MCBR also if the forward train wasn't clear of MCBR or hit it yet thus causing that block to stack and setup, thus setting up the other blocks as well. This is indeed a posiblity and actually would moreover support the claim. Think if the train hasn't cleared MCBR or hasn't hit it, the train approaches lift crest and trips the entry prox for that block, bam, train on lift stops, and the brakes will set stopping that train. Also other blocks probably freeze too as that first brake is the end of the block following the MCBR, so it's in both blocks, thus setting both... That is what I believed happened, just a block set, which still isn't acceptable IMO for the crew as this isn't moreover the ride's fault/ect, it's faulty dispatch interval by crew that could be prevented. It could still be a ghost train...those just suck
  18. Not necessarily if their is a train right before the station the train behind it will not advance. Also ghost train yet again (PLC thinks train is there but it's not). Depends on the situation. It could even be held there I believe (we could set that brake to do block checks/hold trains there for safety reasons, ect.)...I've never personally seen db do this but it is indeed possible
  19. It can happen, it's called a setup. There could be a train on the readies (brakes outside of the station) and one train still on the safety brakes (first brakes from the splashdown). With this that means that train was not clear of or still stopped on that brake and the block was occupied, thus it will not allow it to proceed through the MCBR, leading to a stack. You can also have ghost trains but that's a bit out of the way for most people to know, and these suck...
  20. See they need to find that happy medium. For instance corkscrew can dispatch at the top of the loop at earliest dispatch, however that's too early and will cause the next train to stack when it comes back in the station and puts you behind. If we dispatched right before it hit the first corkscrew or as late as hitting the safety brakes (first brakes in the brake run), each train would dispatch on time with no flaws and allow the train to speed through the brake run with minor stoppage. So far it just seems this crew hasn't learned to work well and cohesively with eachother and the ride dynamics
  21. And also...first pic looks like I'm checking out the guys ass in front of me...wth haha
