It's not really the saddle part where your butt is, but the BIGA$$ hook that angles upward in the front. Think of an oversize bicycle seat, with the front part pointing up. It's one of those- yup did it once & I'll be certain to NEVER do it again.

You need to be bigger to understand.

Don't sweat the knees. It's your other assets you need to worry about.

^^ No. Sometimes when an E-Stop is used, the reset is simple as switching into manual, and homing the machine/ ride out. Other times (when maintenance needs to step in), the machine/ ride will not home out due to a switch that needs to be changed (i.e. changing a bit from "0" to "1" in the ladder.) This is only one example in a plethora of possiblities. TTD is a great example of how long it takes to reset a ride. When it first opened, it took an INCREDIBLE amount of time to reset. Today- not even close as most recovery procedures have been experienced.

^ Seriously?? There is actually a override reset button that automatically (not in manual) moves the ride back into it's start position and also resets the start sequence? Please tell me this is not true......

The Peanuts were unavailable yesterday because it was the first game of the season for Charlie Brown's baseball team.

E-Stopping a ride (and most machinery) is not a "healthy" condition for the device. Since E-Stop literally kills (stops) the ride, none of the normal end of cycle procedures are followed. Most E-Stop issues cannot be repeated identically, thus, cannot be planned for. Maintenance most likely open the control panal to see what bits were enaged and which ones were not. Due to safety concerns, there is no overriding "reset" button.

It's great you have a name for it too! My wife and I call it "grocery store mom"

That is exactly it in a nutshell. Stand-ups are/ were a gimmick. Most are not the most comfortable, are not desired, but still have a big price tag. The industry loves fads, because that is what guests want. The last new stand-up was way back in '99 speaks volumes. http://www.rcdb.com/r.htm?ot=2&nm=na&de=7&page=1&order=-10

I believe KI originally had trams to give an appearance of a "Disney" type park.

They paved paradise And put up an SoB With a big loop, a double helix And a swinging hot spot Don't it always seem to go That you don't know what you've got Till it's gone They paved paradise And put up an SoB They took all the trees Put 'em in treated fluid And they charged the people A neck and sternum just to do it Don't it always seem to go That you don't know what you've got Till it's gone They paved paradise And put up an SoB Hey ACEr ACEr Put away that gravy now Give me mustard on my dog But leave me the fries and the cheese Please! Don't it always seem to go That you don't know what you've got Till it's gone They paved paradise And put up an SoB Late last night I heard the big loop slam And a big yellow crane Took away all my pain Don't it always seem to go That you don't know what you've got Till it's gone They paved paradise And put up an SoB They paved paradise And put up an SoB.......

^ I gotta ask...... have you ever had to pay for replacing an item that was stolen?

Joni Mitchell What recent movie was this song in?

Once upon a simpler time, people did not need to have a carry-on bag full of "necessities" with them at all times. Sunglasses were stored in your tube sock on one side, and the other- your smokes & lighter.

If the walk from the main lot to SC is too great a distance, choosing to go to any park, where most of the day will be spent walking, may not be the best choice.

^ Or park in the main lot, walk to SC, then take the train back to the main park till close.

^ Use the train.

Nothing is ever truly free, even SC admission.

Was the park packed?

^^^ You are absolutely right, but twins get away with this sort of thing all the time. They could easily have the twin with the different name use the card, swap the card to the real card owner, and when the alarm sounds after being used a 2nd time, the real owner could easily pull out their ID to verify the ownership. Due to their age/ inexperience, as well as twins always pulling of this type of scam, most associates would not think twice about bypassing the alarm. This does bring up a new scam for FastPass: one parent will pay for FastPass, get in line, use the Parent Swap Program, and the other parent then walks up the exit and jumps on the ride.

I hate it when he does this on 71......

The SC upgrades have been FANTASTIC. My family could not be more pleased, especially the choice of a tubeless wave pool vs. the enjoyment of riding a tube.

300+ miles for me, but I don't complain. Traveling long distances to numerous parks has opened my eyes to various things many do not know about. It also lets me relive one of my favorite movies, everytime:

I found this site during a similar discussion last year concerning the same unfortunate set of circumstances: http://securacoinloc.../coin-sizes.php http://www.KICentral...lockers__st__30

^ I suggest a locker next time.
