Accident on Alton Towers Smiler
Somehow...I don't think this coaster is going to cost the Towers a measly 18 million anymore...

Is The Beast from the future?
Nah. Its only the sun's reflection off of that 'giant unused building' that make the claws appear metallic.

Tips for a First Timer
Ride the log flume. if you enjoy those things. Its a good one. Especially at night. But not in wasting precious Beast moments at night.

How does the restraint system work on the Firehawk?
Sorry. And yeah...the shins and lower leg crap too. It hurts man. But the ride is fun. So you got that going on too. Its a weird dichotomy...does this hurt? Am I secure? Ouch!. This is kinda fun dude. Ouch! How long they gonna take to bring us back in the station man? This sun is hot. And these restraints smell like sweat bro. Gross.,

Im 5'7 and weigh about a buck forty. I do, however have belly sweat. Let's be clear on this. But it is registered to the inside of my shirt. Thank you. Its quite pleasant. Never.

I personally like to tie my T-shirt around my neck and allow the belly sweat on my stomach to soak into the ride restraits. Uh. No. No I don't. At all.

The ride is a fun, once a trip visit, first thing after the Anthem. The restraints are the most backward, and freakishly unsecured feeling of any ride I have rode outside of a fair midway. Goofy.

Things you first experienced at Kings Island
Almost like the Funhouse at Cedar Point. I was super young when going through that. I remember the upside down room and that the enclosed, metallic slides at the end seemed super long. If they were even metal.

Cirque Imagine 2015
I perform the show myself in the kitchen every night before dinner while watching the current week Game of Thrones with Pantera blazing. The neighbors don't like it...but the girlfriend sure as hell does. That's how good the show is man.

Roller Coaster Guilty Pleasures
I'm with you on that Magenta...I don't enjoy gambling at ALL....unless there is funsies involved. They have several of these old school contraptions at the Saint Cecilia fair here in Columbus on the west side around late summer. That's the only time I get to enjoy them anymore. If and when I remember to go catholic that year. All quarters too...no funny crap. I'll throw a quarter or two into the machine or two in salute of your shaking hands if I make it this year. Maybe I'll knock off a dollar fiftie in doing so. . Off the edge I mean.

Roller Coaster Guilty Pleasures
I like those games myself. Maybe not as much as you...but they are fun, and hard to find around anymore. I like the ones that you pictured, with little chotskies to collect. I don't like the old game room ones that dealt out plastic tokens however to redeem. Give me monies man.

You talking about the quarter bulldozer games? I love those magenta. I'll stop at every Catholic gambler fair there is.for those.its addicting. So is the spinning money wheel to double ones dollar...or five dollars. Im retiring soon off both games. Not the games themselves...but from the winnings. Not really however.

I just miss the crazy clown ones. Can't be having that though anymore. No, no sir.

Roller Coaster Guilty Pleasures
Lastly for the night, triple post and all their wonders, Remember when the fairgrounds had a Bozo the clown dunk tanks? The white-faced, skinny clown that would sling insane, over the top, sexist, racist, way over the top insults at passerbys? That was one of my favorite guilty pleasures in the 80s. Our society got way too sensitive to crap like that. I miss the rude dunk tank clown more than most things concerning parks and rides and fairs. Hell, for that matter...where the hell are dunk tanks...man?

Cause you love flume rides bro. I loved those Tubs as well. But I accept loving water rides and flumes as long as they are not soaking, smelly waters.

For what exactly Terp? White Water Canyon? Or to shoot tennis balls at motorized tanks in the past? Space traveller?

Nice. Now the Sea Dragon is in between the water park and the zoo. One can't launch projectiles at anything and anybody. I wonder...

You'd be the last person I would think to "like" that...you crazy diamond. I put that last sentence in with specifically you in mind here.

Roller Coaster Guilty Pleasures
I hate to tell you all...but I am an open person. Me and my buddies had season passes to Wyandot Lake back in high school. We would get kicked out of everything and every ride. Throwing inter tubes off the slides where it happened to go over the parking lot (I still chuckle about that, some poor sap having to go retrieve four inter tubes way out in the parking lot...lulz...I mean that's deplorable behavorior lads), having penny battles on the Scrambler. But I secretly love the Sea Dragon. The Sea Dragon happened to be surrounded by a lazy river called Kanoochie Creek. We would hit the first turnaround hill while riding the Sea Dragon and launch ice cubes down at the people drifting in the lazy river. I would never condone such things and feel bad now...but we were youths. That's dumb, funny crap. Nobody "like" this as its something that is frowned upon...but it was a guilty pleasure when I knew no better.

Those little fruit sippers that were plastic. I remember the plastic orange and the plastic grape, but I can't remember the third one. I believe they also came with silly straws as well. You'd see quite a few ice carts with a canopy throughout KI holding those things in the eighties.

Theme parks turning aging coasters into new thrill rides
I like and hate the idea. What is wrong with the historical? Oh yeah...crap, people that don't care or see the necessity of such.

One can't let the End of Days spoiling the fun...man. get out there and do things if you are around. I might even high five you...if you make it...and I see you.

My partner and I...a girl you church types...pledge to allow the other to operate the switches while the other rides when we are the last ones standing. I'd advise everyone to devise such a plan for the Apocalypse. It would be wise. We might beat you to it. Its been a standing plan for us longer than you. Come at us brahs.
