  1. Your all going to freak out when you discover that it's a maglev coaster. Monroe munching on the snacks again!
  2. I think I'm going to bake an apple pie and use hot pepper jam in the filling.
  3. Many air shows, if not all, have been affected by the economy. A very larg number of them have been cancled this year because of the cut backs, especially the ones that relied on the military jet teams to draw people in. The F-22 could add close to six to eight thousand spectators alone at an air show like Dayton, even more at some of the other shows. The Dayton show has survived on two things, history and determination. The last big major show they had was in 2003 for the 100th annaversary of powered flight, at that show they had the Thunderbirds, Blue Angles, and the Canadian Snow Birds. The show was packed with so many static displays that people were sitting under and on them because of the lack of room. Since then the show has had to fight and even change dates just to get a major jet team, some years they even tried to go without one. To be honest though, I think this show will survive, good or bad economy, I think it will survive because of two brothers that had a dream of man being able to fly with the birds. They passed this dream on to others who passed it on. This isn't a job for the performers, it's a quest to fulfil a dream, it's a passion to teach others that a dream is only that until you do some thing about it. I know Charlie from when he was flying his extra 300 at shows, he was fun to watch and a very skilled pilot, I did not know Jane but if she was working with Charlie then she must have been the same.
  4. At what point do they close an amusement park because some one died riding a ride they love? The performers at these shows know the consiquenses of what they do, and they do it because they love to do it. They love to perform, they love the addrenalen rush, and they love to fly. Most of all they would not want a show cancled because of an accident. Also, the International Council of Air Shows ( http://www.airshows.aero/ ) regulates and licenses all the performers, only the best get to perform. As for this particular air show, it is one of the oldest in the nation and has one of the best safety records. In the past 40 years only two fatal accidents (3 performers and no spectators) that's a pretty good record. Air shows in general are hurting because of cut backs, no military teams are in the air or on the ground for static display. This is an industry on its own, you can't just shut it down because some one was killed or injured, for one the economic impact, and second (and most important) the people involved who dearly love what they do, and do it to teach, inspire, and to fufill dreams, not just there own but of every dreamer who dreams of flying. Yes it is worth it, and it is very important that they fly on Sunday, if not for the Dayton aviation community, then for my dear friend Charlie.
  5. ^or nachos or even trail mix, (I'll even go for that chocolate covered cereal stuff my daughter makes now).
  6. All these pictures and speculation reminds me of crop circles, (and we all know that they are real) any ways, here is a picture that came to mind, it is a link because of the phallic nature of it. http://weknowmemes.com/2013/05/what-aliens-do-on-earth-vs-what-humans-do-on-mars/
  7. Thanks Don, now I have to go to the store, I'm almost out of popcorn nachos and trail mix. Maybe I will add some hot sauce to the trail mix this time.
  8. So your telling me that I can't take a quote from a movie and put a whimsical twist on it without being 100% accurate? I think I'm going to switch to trail mix for this answer.
  9. Don has one sweet job, but I do believe your directing your post to the wrong person (persons). How so? Monroe who loves movies, music, and quite frankly any form of entertainment, especially if it is popcorn (or nacho) fodder. Man this thread is making me fat!
  10. ^^Well now you do, got to love the popcorn fadder post
  11. Don, People will come Don, they will come to Ohio for reasons they can't even fathom. The will turn into the parking lot not even sure why they are doing it. They will arive at the gate just as inocente as children longing for the past. Of course we won't mind if you look around you'l say its only $37.99 a person. They will pass over the money without even thinking about it, for it is money they have and roller coasters they like. Don just tell us what it is your building. They will walk in the park, sit on the rides on a SONNY afternoon. They will buy speed passes for there favoret rides, the ones they rode as children and screemed as there parents watched. It will be as if they DIPPED themselves in majic DOTTS. Memories will be so thick that they will brush them from there faces. Don you already tore down one ride why build another? People will come Don. It's a hopeless cause Don, the enthusiast think they know what your putting in but can't seem to agree on B&M or Intamin. The one constant thru the years Don has been roller coasters. America has rolled by like an army of steam rollers. It's been erased like a black board rebuilt and erased again. Roller coasters have marked the time. This park, these rides, it's a part of our past Don. It reminds us of all that once was good, and could be again. Ooh people will come Don, people will most deffinatly come.
  12. What about the Jalapeno popcorn, and the nachos with 3 cheese sauce and jalapeno reference?
  13. I have officially switched from popcorn to nachos with 3 cheese sauce and jalapenos. And the beer is tasting better too.
  14. For the most part it does, i305 was a rair instance, I am not certain why they used a different carrier. This picture could just be showing them moving track from staging to instal. By the way I still have popcorn left.
  15. CoasterRob you are the second one that has tried to spoil my entertainment, would you just join me for some popcorn (its jalapeno flavored today) and read on. (Dang people trying to spoil all my fun).
  16. Darn out of popcorn, can you guys put a hold on this conversation for 10 min while I make a new batch?
  17. ^What are you doing, I just made popcorn so come on over and we will enjoy the entertainment together. Every one just ignore what Joncars05 just said and cary on.
  18. Yeha a new put put course, the one down the road is looking a little ragid any ways, I knew it couldn't be a coaster!
  19. Such a paint does exist. http://www.grainger.com/Grainger/WOOSTER-PRODUCTS-Photoluminescent-Kit-2TVC2?Pid=search
  20. That won't happen. X-Base will never get restrooms. DB96, watching the tomatoes on his way out. So your saying that Rugrats, All Growed Up is a possible name then?
  21. That worked, better write up too, or is it that I don't really like Radel, either way thanks.
  22. I hope you all will not be disappointed when it turns out to be a friction launch terrain hugging (no more than 5ft off the ground) kiddie coaster that takes you to the new X-Base restrooms. They can call it Rugrats, All Growed Up. Oh wait, never mind.
  23. http://news.cincinnati.com/article/20130523/NEWS01/305230032/Smale-Park-s-next-wow-A-giant-glass-enclosed-carousel Your link is a dead end CoastersRZ I hope this one will work. I personally can not wait for this one, any chance the streetcar will drop me off there? Who am I kidding, the Carousel will probably take me farther than that thing will.
  24. ^http://www.nationalmuseum.af.mil/factsheets/factsheet.asp?id=472 http://www.warbirdregistry.org/sbdregistry/a24-4254582.html (note: the USAF musium lists it as a Dauntless, this was the Navy designation, the Army generaly called them Banshee)
  25. Diverticulitis: 1. Diverticulitis is small, bulging sacs or pouches of the inner lining of the intestine (diverticulosis) that become inflamed or infected. Most often, these pouches are in the large intestine (colon). 2. Any coment made by a KI staff member that some one from KIC tries to deceifer.In other words, the only thing it can be is a wooden, winged, giga, dive machine called "Crazy Horse". Or just some restrooms for X-Base, but I divertly digress.
