Existential

Where's the Beef?

I know man. It still makes my day. But I'm only 5'7 too...and sometimes I think that those ladies at the grocer overstep their roles...

I had to have a cashier come over to check my ID while getting beer today at the grocery store. Self Scan stylie. I didn't like how long she looked at my ID while squinting her eyes and looking at me...[i'm 38 darnit!] Close to the same thing? Right guys? [[slowly backs away]]

Its probably been answered...but I would imagine you get to keep the key? They look pretty cool.

Dude, just park at the race track to pre-game. When Phish rolls into town, I am usually IPA'n it over in that lot with no problem. I don't even recall having to pay for that lot. Easy in/ easy out as well.

That would be fantastic. Last time I was there I got to see Tim Burton's exhibit at MOMA and R. Crumb just happened to be having an exhibit of his The Book of Genesis at some warehouse space within the city. That was a great 2 fer... If I could, I would love to take a weekend trip just for this. It'd be a great reason to go back. One of many, great reasons to go back.

I would imagine this could be dealt with by one poll question: The Best era of Kings Island is: [ ] The era in which held your childhood.

12 Person car? Definitely sounds like a take on a Euro-fighter or a 'Maverick' style launcher. And from the rendering...Does the lift and first drop take place in that massive building? This looks really interesting.

I'm starting to think that maybe a 'Guardian' might take over that area. But Mantis holds some very prime real estate and location. Something aside from a building would be better there.

The Good news is that if Mantis is removed...the wait times just increased [even if just a fraction] at every other coaster there. New and improved wait times for 2015!

^^ That's what I assumed as well... But why before Halloweekend is over?

HIGH NOON!

That was the first thing I noticed about the track length. Ride time as well... It scared me at first as I thought it might rival The Beast. Ha ha. It doesn't. Although in fun...it might. Not at night though. Even having never rode it obviously. Or...Holiday Rode it... Holiday ro-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o Holiday r-o-o-o-o-o-oad.

Yeah..those dark rides I am excited for. I don't mean to be an ahole towards Six...its just the oppertunity I can't resist. In all things internet. It just is sometimes.

All dBaggery aside...I think their RMCs look freakin' awesome. But from sources...I am also being told that their looping rides are an upscale charge. They will cost 4 tickets. Zing! Can you say DB on here?... Edit:: I cleaned it up

They will probably turn those looping 'coasters' on their sides halfway through the season like their backwards Batmans. "Its a whole new ride...maaaaan."

Heavens to Betsy I hope we get something jolly fun in the likes of a ferris wheel or tunnel of love. Something high falutin like those scallions at Six. Perhaps a soda jerk or a penny arcade even...one with those flip action view scopes with the purdy ladies. I'm gonna start saving my coppers.

Does anyone see the small 6 or 7 ride carnivals anymore then? When has anyone seen one lately as a larger question? Its been probably 7 years here and now I am a wonderin'.

Figured you would know the details there Terp...I almost asked for you...but figured you would see this at some point. Besides...no one wants to put you at Genie status I suppose. More carefully...I should have said I don't see them in Ohio anymore. Nor would I know why as I wipe away a Hollywood tear.

Fun houses and dark rides are my favorite rides of all time. I hit carnivals and fairs to experience a new one. I will stop on a dime while traveling if I see a 'pop-up' carnival with one...(you don't see them much anymore). Those small carnivals I mean... Probably the regulations ...if any, and depending on the state. Kind of sad. What has the world come to if you can't risk death at a parking lot carnival? And spend 4 dollars a ride for the pleasure? Or even win an already dead goldfish at the fish bowl game? Or get cussed at by a carney? Carny? I forget. Probably 'Carnival Attendant' this day and age. Or day in age? Starting to confuse myself now come to think of it...

I don't know if you want to wait, but I went to Dollywood in mid-April and it was the perfect time to go. One or two train waits for just about everything... Cabins were at a nice discount as well.

I guess I mean I hope it looks better than the artwork, theming and coloring in Boo Blasters. Frankly, that kind of sucks...

If they can pack all that color and material into that building that is shown on the POV...then that looks incredible. I would be very impressed.

Paint job is gorgeous...ride operation...not so much. Pretty expensive non-operational ride. NEW THIS YEAR AT BEER GARDENS...The ride you can't ride. Get your year end season pass today.

I voted for Santa Claus land in Vermont...because I passed it once on the way to a Phish concert. Looked rundown...but darnit...it looked sincere. That's about how important these polls are to most of us. I think we are all going to be preferential to where our memories lay. As is probably everyone on the polls. I wouldn't even know if Santa Claus Land is anymore...well...anymore. This was back in 97. Or was it New Hampshire? Who the hell knows back then...
