Just a hobby. I edit Wookieepedia (where I am an admin) far more than I do Wikipedia. Remember that the best way to use Wikipedia for school assignments is to mine the references list for sources from which you can write your paper. Don't use the Wikipedia article itself as a source. And if there isn't a list of sources or references, or if there are banners on the article calling attention to problems with the sources, then it's best to skip that article and look elsewhere for sources.

It's not a hard conversion for me either; I deal with UTC timestamps on a daily basis editing Wikipedia and Wookieepedia, both of which operate on UTC because of their worldwide audience. The issue here is that 1) the average American probably doesn't have the conversion memorized, and 2) nowhere on the webcam does it even say what time zone the timestamp is in, so someone could look at the screenshot above and think that it was taken at 9:14 PM EST (which would make them ignorant of when the sun sets in February, but a more legitimate example can be had if you just substitute a screenshot from six hours earlier).

Image for reference: (Taken from the webcam page on the Kings Island website) No, I think that is in fact the new wave pool. You can see the sand volleyball courts in the left-center of the picture, and you can also see the access road that runs in front of the Soak City Gate to the right. They do, however, need to fix the time zone on the timestamp at the top (as well as on the Diamondback camera). There's no reason for an amusement park in Ohio to be using UTC on their cameras; it's simply confusing.

Umm... I win?

From Kentucky Kingdom's Facebook page: Caption: The first few ride pieces for Lightning Run have arrived! I guess you could say we're "right on track" for opening day! *badum psh*

As I understand it, that was removed because people... couldn't behave, to put it nicely. I would be thoroughly surprised if it returns.

^ I remember what used to sit there. I would make a point of walking through that thing every time I walked through that path.

I'm guessing the media is over-sensationalizing it and blowing it out of proportion. More than likely it's a typical, safe e-stop.

I think there IS a Hangar 18 and you're just not allowed to talk about it.

Yes, assuming that it is the same as previous years.

Try Dictionary.com: http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/photoshop This says that it is "sometimes lowercase" as a verb, but the listing is still under the capitalized version. EDIT: The new version of Firefox can kiss my ***.

For those that have already viewed my previous post, a correction has been edited into it. Apparently I suck at remembering things.

^ I know that Don has said that The Bat will be open for Media Day. Beyond that, nothing has been said IIRC. EDIT: I have been informed that The Bat is only a maybe at this time and is not confirmed. I either misinterpreted or misremembered Don's previous comment.

The support thread for that hook says its broken, I tired to install it just to check and it did not install correctly. Darn it. I searched the marketplace for "facebook video" and the only other one is far more complicated and $40. Oh well. ("Facebook", of course, is a trademark that should be capitalized; it's typed lowercase here because it's presented as part of a search query, which most systems automatically convert to lowercase, thus lowercase is a better representation of of the actual query as interpreted by the server.)

How about installing this so that we can embed Facebook videos? Somebody shared a link to a Facebook video in the Random Video of the Day thread, but because the video was posted on a personal account and not a page, it requires login to access, meaning that people without Facebook accounts cannot view it. Being able to embed the video directly would allow anyone to view it (as long as they have Flash, but that's beyond our control, unfortunately).

Me likey! I wonder if my 2014 season pass will be good for access to the snow tubing? The zipline sounds very fun; I have never been ziplining before.

I was on the second train of The Beast that morning and once we hit the second lift hill, I started wondering why I was wearing a t-shirt.... Why did it take you that long to start wondering about that?

Do coaster lift chains have a set lifetime that they have to be replaced after, or are they generally only replaced when there are signs of unusual wear or damage?

The Color Me Pink event last year was so much fun that I'll happily do both.

I think his issue is not so much with the early time but with the colored powder itself.

Dear Internet, Please stop giving me things that I can't resist spending money on. I need to pay down my credit card, but apparently you don't like that. Why? Sincerely, Me I'm registered, and I created a KIC team while I was at it. To join the KIC team, you will need to select "Kings Island Central" from the dropdown list and enter the team captain's (that's me) last name (Goble). Oh, and I ordered four extra bags of color while I was at it. hehehehehehehehe...... EDIT: Also, for anyone who wants to join me, I registered for the 7:30 wave.

This is hilariously awesome.

Exactly. He asked how to log back in, so I gave him a link that allows him to log back in.
