Haha, I noticed you said 'thrill' I can see some uninformed person coming on after you and saying..."er...what about Disney?" lol

the Beast summer 07
Wow, one more account of the medicinal purposes of The Beast! lol The Beast can be as invigorating and rough as a chiropractor, so I could see this taking place. However, Friday Beast was the smoothest I had ever ridden it, barely any jerkiness.

Our Zoos here are just spectacular! I love the Columbus Zoo, and The Wilds is amazing.

Maverick Update!
hahaha, I had that problem a bunch too! Until of course, I started pen and papering everything before I build! quite possibly, but remember thats just side to side motion...the stress on Maverick in that Heartline at 70mph would have been, in a Vortex motion. In other words, like when you roll your neck, to the side then up then to the side then down, and back. Side to side can be stabilized, and fixed with banking, that Vortex motion snaps things all too quickly. Think of how you break the pop tab off a can of pop, you can wiggle the tab back and forth till it breaks, or you can move it around in a circular motion twisting and pulling in all different directions....the latter of which will take the tab off much quicker...though not as neat of a break. As seen above, you dont want that on a trains wheel assembly!

Great day 5/18/2007
Haha, I took the same exact picture... After I got off my shift I also had walk on waits for everything...I must've rode Beast 7 times! and I had my first ever ride on Delirium...not a bad flat at all! FOF was...rough...that first maneuver after the launch was painful...I dont even remember that first 5 seconds, lol...it was so fast!

B&M- Better and Marvelous Not to mention, I have heard nothing but praise for B&M's integration of technology and ease of operation. As well as their customer support. B&M seems to have K*I*S*S down to a science!

Sean Hannity Freedom Concert coming to KI!
yeah, I Agree with combatstupendous...personally I love all three aspects of the concert. But we all should go if we have the extra 60 dollars around and like Country music, and would like to support the troops' children. That is what this is about, touching lives and taking in a concert. Since when did politics have a greater moral grasp on us than our faith or our philosophy? If you like country and want to support the troops you should attend, regardless of political convictions. I just don't understand why we must allow politics and hatred or disdain to keep us from achieving greater goals. If some of you dont remember racism kept us from goals in the past. And yes I will say it, it seems that politics has become the new racism, IMO. Hope to see you guys there, I love MG and will more than likely be there! P.S. if Combs, Clinton, Obama, Peloski promoted the concert like Hannity is I WOULD go see it as it is a great cause. See you there guys!

The last ride....
Pretty sure that I'll be on a flight down to Disney World, to get my last ride on Splash Mountain! But, since thats not the topic, and I dont want to be a 'homer' Im going to say night ride, with fog, on Top Gun!

Maverick opening delayed
What? Read the whole topic, no one is saying they did this to just take peoples money or that they're dealying it on purpose, what people are saying is that they are discouraged they've spent the money to take a trip up to the park and now the new attraction wont be open. Actually, YOU might want to read the whole topic. To quote Bodda in part: So some people on pointbuzz ARE saying "CP is just doing this to take our money." ACTUALLY, Interpreter, you quoted Browntggrr

New SOB Info
E-stop, would not stop trains any faster, or in any other place than where the ride is designed to safely "set-up", for both safety and evacuation purposes. The ride doesnt just immediately stop, unless under a certain speed and approaching or in a set of brakes! Emergency stop is just that, an emergency stop not an immediate stop, if that were the case, it would be an i-stop! On any coaster, and you can find most of this same info in most Roller Coaster books!
