  2. I can remember a less sensitive time when bullying consisted of mother jokes, and ended up with two people becoming friends because they settled it on the playground.
  3. If anything, I would say the guests hanging for 90 minutes is the most newsworthy item.
  4. ^ Given what we know/ heard, something along that line makes sense. Much land & brush/ trees were moved/ removed for DB. It would not be surprising if the land is still somewhat unsettled.
  5. ERT- Estrogen Replacement Therapy

  7. ^ The issue you explained is certainly a safety issue & would have been present before & after the pre-Memorial Day weekend downtime thus it would have been already fixed prior to the current downtime. In a nutshell- The trains being too close may have been an issue, but I doubt it is why DB is currently down.
  8. ^^ That certainly adds to the mix. Perhaps the current wait is for the cure.
  9. I can remember a time, before CF, when many were happy to not have "rides that pierced the sky" because of the large collection of flats.
  10. Mr. Hart is certainly an intresting individual. I applaud his bluntness, but question his motives.
  11. After riding it last night, I can say there was definently no "pot hole" or whatever you felt on the lift hill. Vortex was riding as smooth and fast as the last time I rode it (maybe 3-5 years ago) It may be a specific train issue & not a track issue. Issues like this should be mentioned to ride ops. If there are enough "complaints" it will help maintenance with troubleshooting.
  12. This reminds me of when cigarette ads were being removed from TV & billboards. http://abcnews.go.com/Politics/OTUS/michelle-obama-announce-food-initiative-disney-theme-parks/story?id=16498782
  13. I wonder if my 5th grade math teacher still has my D&D dice.........
  14. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m5ZeNZtvACI That said..... moving on..... If BB was mentioned during another park event, it could be spun that just mentioning it was an attempt to sell more people that it would happen. Given that a statement on the progress, or lack thereof, was just released less than a week ago, it was clear where everything stands. There is currently no lease, thus a transaction has not been made. Expecting a statment about another park, during a different park event, is simply grasping at straws. It should also be noted that the press release was not through the HW website (though issued by Paula), thus reinforcing the desire to keep both parks seperate as of now.
  15. Nobody wants the rides operating more than KI. If they could have predicted these issues, it would have been taken care of before breaking down. We should give credit where it is due. DB was operating for the first holiday weekend of the early 2012 season with a temporary fix. Many hurdles needed to be accomplished for this to happen.
  16. ^ DB being down was also posted on FB which is pushing 1,000,000,000 members.
  17. Leave the valuables:in the car, at home, or with a non-rider. If you want to use the convenience of a locker, pay the price. And if you don't want to pay the price for the locker, consider what the alternative costs for not.
  18. Aside from why a locker costs so much, the perpetrators are responsible for their actions and need to be held accountable. If it were not for people like this, lockers would be unnecessary thus leaving the cost a moo (anyone get this?) point. Now I do believe people need to properly protect their valuable belongings, yet using the cost of a locker as an excuse for not is plain stupid.
  19. ^^ Quite possibly the same reason why a bottle of beer is $2.50 in Erie, but $10 in New York City.
  20. I was wondering how long it would take for a negative spin on why a HW event did not mention another park. Answer- just under 24 hours
