I'll take a 30 minute wait sure. Do I prefer walk on/station/stair waits? Oh of course, however 30. Crap I can talk for enough time to get practically to the stairs and start watching the ride. Or if I'm alone, that's an episode of Boondocks down then on the ride.

Couple small things I'm noticing now/past few days 1. Site running tad slow/things not fully loading. Dunno if anything on KIC's end, I'd expect it more of an issue on my end being on the .mil side of things, but just curious 2. Several threads I've read/participated in/etc. is not going to first unread post, etc. Like a few threads pushed me back to the beginning or a random page somewhere in it. I had even replied later in the thread. 3. Going through photo gallery today, lots of timeouts/errors. Again could be connection on my end, just, unsure figured I'd bring it up.

Plus you never know, maybe they recieved a tip, maybe something is going on and they'd like higher security, maybe it's a random measure to keep people with prying eyes with intentions from going forward, etc. All you're being asked to do is go through a metal detector, empty pockets, and get a metal wand if you need a tad bit more scrutiny the walk through doesn't get, etc. Really? You're being asked again to just empty pockets and go through a metal detector just as a preventative measure and to help security better do their job. Try coming onto a military installation or living on one, or have a security clearance. Then you can come talk to me. Ignorant comment mate, ignorant comment. -

Safety, that's why Be happy that's all you have had to do..Some areas that require a higher security clearance, much more scrutiniing than you think. -

Ah I remember my warning spiels..tomorrow..headed to bed -
When I was there opening day the woman who greeted us who seemed to be an affiliate of C&P said they will be expanding across the park chain. I would hope so, the bar service and food is enough to make me want to return there for a cheesesteak & Fat Tire.

Lift mechanism for DT is in the down position, however I only see an empty queue, I wouldn't be too excited yet folks -
There is a decent sit down in Rivertown Service is iffy at busy times & whatnot but the food and prices are worth it. Drink refills are worth it alone.

Your First Upside Down Coaster?
thedevariouseffect replied to Sonofbeast2.0's topic in Other Amusement Parks & Industry News
Flames and cartwheels, some down Midways Interesting site to see -
Target shopping carts are the way to go. The solid structure of them makes them more aerodynamic Plus I think they use a better set of casters Like the B&M of shopping carts I kid of course

CW is always worth the trip, the B&M's there are fantastic -
Surprisingly Intamin does not have anything in 'Merica except IntaRide. But that company sells Switzerland products exclusively

Only problem with fudge push pop, it is a bit hard to eat. One threading it through is a bit more difficult than say an ice cream pushpop obviously. Two you can't really scoop it away, you moreover use your teeth to knaw a section off or my preference using the top front teeth to scrape some off. Last, it's pretty rich, still haven't even finished one. -
Yeah watching Carb Day seeing them in full race setup then theres a concert in the evening. Saturday not sure what all is going on I don't think theres a set schedule probably just more test/tune. Sun is race day..so drinking, speed, sound, 'Merica

Too Long: Didn't Read

Still never understood how CF sold the ride but it stays on their land. Why would anyone sell anything and not make them do something with it. Still confusing. But nowadays looking at it, to be able to pay just 5k for a coaster like that. Man..I could pull a small personal loan right there and it would have been mine and I would have worked to save it, but nope. Just..wow
