This man was a dear friend of mine and was quite the entertainer. A day at KI was always maid better with his show. God Speed Harold, give us calm skies and loop d loops. http://www.daytondai...es-1053656.html

^ Well Terpy, it all starts with some board members getting together and talking. Then one (or two) will call a friend and ask them to dinner.....oh........you got me on that one Terpy!!

^And why not apply for it this year? The worst they could say is no, and then what would happen next year? Oh you applied for this last year, how was your first year at NKU? I say go for it kjkjkj, but use your real name!!

First, both of the articles deal with objects built within a 3 mile radios of the runway, KI is outside of that 3 miles. I never said that there where not restrictions at all, I just eliminated the obvious and stated what the regulations are most likely to be. Second, the FCC petitions the FAA for antenna heights, with the FAA having final say. Third, I thought I had read some where that the state of Ohio had put a height limit on cell towers but I could not find it, that is why I said I could be wrong. Fourth, WFTK is on top of the 747 ft antenna mast that is owned by 700 WLW, so state where you got the info about it being 810 feet. http://www.necrat.us/wftk.html

^But a plane has hit the antenna mast before, lightly damaging the mast and I am not certain on what happened to the plane. Mentioned briefly on this web page. http://www.ominous-valve.com/wlw.html And another good web page by Jim Hawkins, the maker of the video I posted. http://www.j-hawkins.com/wlw.shtml

So you want me to shut up then?....(I know what you meant, I just keep forgetting to put those stupid little smileys and such at the end) Here is a video tour of the transmitter and antenna mast, great stuff!

^do you mean me shutting up, or you being board out of your wits?

Since Nemo is hard to find any more (unfortunate) I will chime in. First off, there are NO restrictions on KI in regards to commercial or cargo aircraft, all large aircraft are above 5,000 ft. (generally they are at 10,000 ft and descending into CVG considering the pattern follows I-71 but the altitude depends on the weather) so that's out. Second, the general aviation airports, Blue Ash and Lebanon. Both are about 9 statute miles from KI as the crow flies, that is about 7.8 nautical miles. Since most general aviation aircraft have no problem reaching 1,000 ft in just a couple of miles, I do not see them having any restrictions on height in regards to general aviation aircraft. So why would he say there are restrictions on height due to nearby airports? Well here's the thing, the FAA thinks they rule the world and they want to take ov...........oops back on topic. The real reason is because of antenna mast height regulations, which is closely regulated by the FAA because of the general aviation air space. (I know, what the h-e-double tooth picks is he talking about) Gordon Bombay mentioned it a little when he said: "I do know that there are recommendations pilots must follow in terms of flying above the park." This is true no matter where you fly, and that is so because of radio and tv antenna masts (not to mention buildings and other fixed tower structures). Now the tallest one in the KI area is 700WLW, that mast is a 747 ft Blaw-Knox vertical radiator antenna, (little tid bit, it used to be 800 ft but the harmonics it caused made any thing metal turn into a radio so they lowered it to 747 ft.) but beyond that most are under or at 400 ft. The State of Ohio (I believe, I could be wrong on this though) has a regulation regarding cell towers and masts to be 200 ft or under, all other antenna masts are specific to purpose. To boil it down, I would say that if they do have a height limit, it is around the 400 ft mark just because of the antenna issue. I'll shut up now because you all are probably board out of your wits by now.

The Last two pictures are of a 157, do you know where this one is? Note the last sentence before the pictures: "These pictures were taken in a shop on Madison Rd" A quick Google search turns up the following business: Player Piano Shop 2025 Madison Road Cincinnati, Ohio 45208 This is in the O'Bryonville area (between East Walnut Hills and Hyde Park). Thank you Oldiesman, they also have a shop downtown at 611 Main St. Good people all of them.

Yes that is so, but it just seems to me that they are promoting one thing, and will try to deliver another, but that is a debate that does not belong on these here forums. Lets just hope they don't go all fanatic on us and use there forum as a platform of such topic that is not to be debated on here.

Just a quick thought: A religious organization is usually a "not for profit" organization, meaning there are no taxes to give a break on. This organization is a "for profit", meaning they pay taxes as a private business. I for one already give money and services to an organization that will nurture my family and myself in a spiritual way. That organization in turn takes that money and services and helps others. I will not pay some one who is "for profit" to nurture my family and myself in a spiritual way, but that is just me.

Here you go!! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DSQc4x2_7UE&feature=related

Horrible mascot as most Olympic mascots are, great Mousey though, but in Cincinnati it is the best Reuben...............at least I hope that is the sumthin' you are sayin'......and since we are talking about a Mousey Mouse then I have to bring up Mr. Jingles...

What I described was some thing off the top of my head, it also described multiple battery packs that can be changed out. I also mentioned that every thing would have to be much lighter, and that it was some thing off the top of my head and it was not tested. If you wanted exact specs and blue prints you should have said so. You continually just pull stuff off the internet and out of books and it shows, I will continue to repeat what I said: Science is not fact, it is people discovering new things, rediscovering old into new, it is theories that are written just to be proven wrong and rewritten to accommodate the new findings. It is people thinking for themselves, growing new ideas and nourishing old. Continue reading your books my friend, and you will find out what is being discovered today five years from now. I am not going to say any thing else on this, the person who initially started the thread does not deserve this, and I am sorry for taking it further than I should have.

Well if it were "broken", then they do not want to spend the money to get it fixed. There are several people in town that can fix them, these pictures were taken in a shop on Madison Rd.

Why not? Did a book tell you that? With technology developing at the rate it is, there is more and more reason to not only think it will but to strive to change it our-self. Research has shown that the laws of physics are steady with time. If thermo hasn't changed for the last few billion years, why would it change now? Feel free to keep "thinking for yourself" and avoiding the textbooks. I'll stick to reality. Not only can it change, but it is. I already talked about the advancement in technology for the gear boxes (collection of energy) but you ignored that. I also talked about the advancements in batteries, (stored energy) as I recalled you ignored that too. By the way, do you know that the theories of thermodynamics are not the same theories that started the whole idea of thermodynamics? That's right some one proved some one else wrong, imagine that, it has changed in the last few billion years. "why would it change now?" because it can, it has in the past and it will again, also because of science, real science, people using and manipulating science, not because of facts, because facts can only be proven wrong. You can't prove some thing right if it is already right. One last thing, the world is round, I don't care what the papers say about it being flat, it is in fact round.

Why not? Did a book tell you that? With technology developing at the rate it is, there is more and more reason to not only think it will but to strive to change it our-self.

I'm sorry LLKC but Standbyme has this one, women and broken hearts trump all.

I'm not trying to be famous, I'm accepting scientific facts as they are. Perhaps I'm not understanding what kind of system you are imagining. But if it's strapping some Toyota made do-hicky to Vortex/Beast/Flight of Fear, sending the train on its merry way using the current lift motor/LIMs, and then letting the regenerators take over for all power needs once the train is back in the station, it's not possible. OK let me see if I can get you going in the same direction as me. First, I am not saying that you are wrong about the fact that it can not be done right now so there is no argument there. What I have a hard time with is the fact that you are just simply wrighting the potential for it to happen off, just because you accept scientific fact. Don't just accept some thing because it is in a book, unless you need that info to pass a test. Discover things for yourself, I can guarantee that you will come close to the same results but they will be different. Science is discovery not fact, just think of where we would be if Thomas Alva Edison just accepted Humphry Davy's or sir Joseph Wilson Swan's version of the light bulb. If you want an example of what I think could happen with today's technology, then how about this. First, the weight of the batteries will have to come down some more. Second, the gear boxes will have to lose some weight too. There would be one gear box and generator per car, (not train) and they would be attached to a box that would be added to the back with the batteries in it. The batteries would be switched out when the charge cycle is complete, they would only be charged while connected to the train. The lift motor will have to be changed to a lower torque (lower amp) and the gear box will have to be changed out with one to supplement the lower torque. I can see some thing like this on Vortex, but not on Beast (way too much weight to begin with), and just to be safe: PLEASE READ ALL OF THIS BEFORE YOU RESPOND. THIS IS JUST SOME THING I THOUGHT UP, I DID NOT TEST IT AND I DO NOT KNOW FOR SURE IF IT WILL WORK. (Who am I kidding, it will work, engineers are never wrong Lighten up a little CoasterKrazy and think for yourself, don't take any ones word for fact........even mine.

This is not meant to top your little "I operated Congo Falls with a laptop" deal AZ.....But I reset equipment in the Netherlands from my house in the US using my cell phone.

Ha Ha, I wish it was that easy......I still have no clue on how to fix that one gear (the spending one) in my wife's head.

^Physically giving birth.........(one of these days.........pow right in the kisser).

^Giving up and saying some thing is impossible and can't be done, has never made any one famous. On top of that, it only sets an individual up for failure. You obviously are a little behind on some newer (and some older) technology, Battery technology has taken many leaps and bounds in the last 5 years alone, and generator and inverter technology is not far behind. Yes there will always be losses, but that will not matter when technology flips the ratio. The advancement in gear box technology alone is amazing. The only thing on this Earth that I think is impossible, is a REAL man having a baby.
