  1. If I shoot a cannon in they're direction and they say mine...Ok, they can have it
  2. Well...that's the family side...just without making new families at the end
  3. ^Another reason I still hate seagulls... They all can go
  4. Right now Cedars is housing ride prides, so it can't be taken down I bet Cedars will go at the end of this season... So many...things that will be gone now that the dorms are gone... Many peoples first...seconds...thirds, ect. xD
  5. Oh so you're the youngin here...lol now I can put a face to the name...thought you were like most of the other younger guys here like 16-18ish nvm..grow up a teeny bit more then go have fun getting numbers and stuff haha
  6. So holding hands with girls getting numbers, easily a kiss isn't worth going through them? Man times changed...back then I loved being single going though those things I had way too much fun
  7. Tell him hot women may go through with you because they're scared If that doesn't work for either of you...dunno what will
  8. It's a coaster...it could be the color of someones fecal matter...I'm still down to ride it
  9. Ah well..let them have fun with it and do it..the screams that win are clearly winners by my account...the level of how much it hurts is enough to tell me if it's enough or not
  10. Who cares if it's beautifully accurate...scream loud, high numbers, scream louder, higher numbers.. Sounds pretty simple
  11. From that view it makes Banshee looked like a messed up infinity symbol
  12. Hmm..I honestly think this name could apply for alot of things...Could easily fill the name of a flat ride, coaster, or even an observation tower (100 feet, yes small but still) I do like it though
  13. Like I said, I hate it too but I think they look at it as, it's too late in the season, NDT will be starting soon anyways we'll just go with it and wait till next season
  14. When we got wheels replaced it was moreover a crack/split in the poly wheel. It was usually caused by just repetitive wear on the rides by constantly running all season. I had one train that did have a bearing issue opening week but was fixed after we heard it, well for lack of better words, screaming down the drop. For what some maint. guys told me they can tell how worn it is by looking at the wear pattern and the texture of the poly but I never had to go that deep into wheel replacements. When we had a bad wheel, biggest thing was it's a rough as hell ride around that section. It also can produce some pretty nasty sounds, dragster bad wheels at 120 you can hear the noise coming from the assembly when a maint guy pointed it out to me. You can't hear it w/ music on and midway stuff going on. We heard it during morning test cycles when the parks perfectly quiet. Other than that I don't believe one wheel would cause a valley, it probably could if enough failed at once but that's a huge catastrophic failure. I'll talk to a few of my guys tonight see if I can get some more technical guru stuff, I just know the basics and what the parts are and some repairs...I'll see what I can dig up from em tonight/tomorrow
  15. ^I agree with what you've said. I notice the vibration in the back three cars, esp on brown train. I refuse to ride brown train in the very last car, it's a disaster on your body
  16. ^^Copying this from my memorial day TR "I did however track some information and get some for all of you coaster nerds like me. Full interval information :-)!!! Station wait minimum from stop in station to dispatch was 55sec, max was 1:34. Jog time from ready brakes from a stack was 15 seconds if interval was not hit properly. Full time for train dispatch to station stop per train varies from 2:23 to 2:55. Also my friend on the ride said their best dor pph hour was 1,569. Theoretical is 1710...that's moving people!" Also yes it's over 2M Also yes, that vibration gets worse as the season progresses. I hope by next season it's eliminated again, this season wasn't bad really at all.
  17. I honestly will say this with GK with why it probably has a rattle, just my opinion. I think wheels need replaced but being this far in the season, unless the wheel fails typical wear and tear isn't going to warrant an expensive replacement of the trains wheels. Also with the way you sit on them being out on the bar I think any small vibration on the ride is just being amplified. Hopefully when all of you ride next year it will be gone. I remember opening day, it was so butter smooth I thought millie lost it's place as smoothest coaster @ CP. Best thing on that ride though that I love other than from a ride standpoint has to be that break run. So perfectly timed and trimmed. No jolts, no hard hits, helps train timing, and just works perfectly in sync with this years amazing crew.
  18. There was FL for GK Honestly I wouldn't be too concerned. Opening day I did everything else sans Fast Lane opening day (started @ resort gate) Had the whole park knocked out in about 3 hours, then waited 3 for GK it was full queues, then had lunch, took a nap. Came back after a bit and hit some of my favorites then by about 7-8 when the rain hit I left early.. Hit everything else, everyone will be going for Banshee, get your other missed rides in opening day as very few will head to those. Then unfortunately there will be a wait but you've done everything else with no wait.
  19. Gatekeeper is strict... But there are stupid people who try to record the ride. A good few are successful, I will say this crew is like Gemini, they are on it this year. I will say CP is way stricter for that stuff than KI...KI kids were taking pics on the lift hill during a group meetup for a night ride on beast, wasn't even stopped for some reason..
  20. The worst ride interaction w/ midways were Dragster, PT, Corkscrew, and Raptor. Haven't heard horror stories for GK yet but I bet theres a few face palms.. PT is probably my most annoying, dropping coins off of it irk me so much. Dragster could be downright deadly, I've seen phones drop and just shatter when they hit concrete, rare but happens. Thankfully there's a good bit of grass at the tower base
  21. Corkscrew LOVED gulls And I loved Corkscrew because it loved gulls Hate those birds... Sweet sweet revenge
  22. Only thing I'm worried about with the AZ interaction is stupid guests and their stupid loose articles... I feel it will be slightly problematic..Rides interacting with midways always seem to cause problems of some nature
