Some information on trim brakes and their purpose: http://www.essortment.com/hobbies/rollercoasters_sdzq.htm http://www.ultimaterollercoaster.com/coasters/glossary/ http://www.coasterquest.com/blocksys.htm http://stason.org/TULARC/entertainment/rol...-terms-A-B.html

^ So how did you like HH 2007?

So you know what coasters need trims and which ones do not? Please explain your knowledge of this.

Wood coasters that exert an excessive amount of force need to have trims so that the coasters do not destroy themselves as well as cost the park excessive maintenance costs. Enthusiasts hate trims, as do you. But enthusiasts also comprise about 1% of a park's attendence. So parks take the lesser of two evils. Trim the coasters that need it, at the expense of those 1% being upset.

Boy, this writer is certainly putting all the eggs in one basket. How can you even believe that ONE park with new beer sales is going to turn around the entire company?

It is intresting that the article states the brothers will not be charged for taunting the tiger, but what about the individual that perished? Since the brothers now seem to be cooperating, did they blow in their buddy for taunting? And where are the BAC results?

How about an idiot that posts three times in a row.

For some reason, that link would not work. (??) http://www.star-telegram.com/arlington_new...ory/392740.html Finally, a voice of reason.

^ darn Braxton Hix!

A trip to Alaska run by robots that goes terribly wrong. 1) Dispatch Master Transport 2) Many robots repairing your transport ride. 3) Mainly robots and pilots, with crazy telecommunications of transport failure and the robots not giving a crap about human life. The queue line will be split into 3 different sections, each section with heavy themeing.

I would never say never but... That would be news to me. I always considered Season Passes a package deal. While the park cannot stop you from coming everyday, the certainly are not going to beg you to come since they already have your money.

Wow. After looking at those pics and hearing about the amenities, it would be at least $2500 a night, and chances are even more. That would be a chance of a lifetime to the Disney fanatic. After reading the article, I though it may be a bit spooky to be the only ones staying in the castle, but after reading her TR, that is obviously not the case.

^ Is that car really pink? And speaking of gas prices, it just jumped to $3.21 on Wednesday night. In a election year no less. uugh...

It's not that it is off the beaten path, only because it is located a few miles off I-79. But more because the area it is in is economically depressed. The Meadville/ Conneaut Lake area was considered the Tool Capital of the World at one time. But now with China leading the way with cheap metal and cheap labor, many tooling jobs have gone to China. China has taken so many tooling jobs from Northwest PA, everyone is moving down South where experianced toolmakers are hard to come by, and pay about $10 to $15 more an hour than here. The best way of describing CLP is comparing it to GL, but without the financial backing. People stopped going, so it was difficult for the park to refresh itself with new rides. And competition from Waldameer, Idlewild, Kennywood, etc. basically choked the life out of CLP. The park is in such financial trouble now, the debt it has aquired is almost as much as the park is worth. It really is a sad story, but people really need to move on from this park. There are so many businesses in the area that were dependant on CLP, and for about 10 years now it was always up in the air if the park was going to open. So families kept their business doors open with the hope of CLP surviving, and it has only brought heartbreak. They have put everything on the line for the park, that the area needs to lick it's wounds, and move on and find something else to bring the people in. Miracles do happen, and that is the only thing that is going to save CLP.

^ I think you missed the point. Nobody is buying the Intamin Generation 1 drop rides new or used. The unsold GL rides really had nothing to do with the comment you quoted. But since you brought it up, chances are CF cannot sell RWB and Villian due to the fact that they are not being sold with thier trains as well as they really are not the most enjoyable rides out there. Now why BD cannot be sold, the only thing that I can think of is if parts are too difficult to come by. You can see much discussion about GL's unsold rides here: http://www.KICentral.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=11659

Nobody said that it was off topic, but simply that it was not important. It really is nothing different than just posting to hear yourself talk. But I guess if you look at the glass is half full theory, it was not a one word answer. But you are right, we should all try to be friends.

All that constant clanking would push a hangover to the breaking point. Can you imagine working the ride with a hangover? Ughhh...

If you really want to work at a park, CP has dorm-like living quarters for most of their employees. And in response to Avitar, you owe me a new flat screen for my computer. I broke the other one trying to kill a bug on the screen.

Go to his profile and check out his post history. He brings nothing to the table in the form of any discussion. When he does try to, the comments are way off base. He really is nothing more than a troll.

Does it matter why he wants them?
