Oldiesmann Posted July 15, 2009 Share Posted July 15, 2009 Anyone else find this a little ironic? The latest "freecreditreport.com" ad features the gang singing about the "credit roller coaster" - while riding Goliath at La Ronde in Montreal, a park operated by Six Flags through a lease contract specifying that they have to improve the property (see Wikipedia for more info). Lyrics: Buckle up everybody cause we're taking a ride It can strain your relationships and hurt your pride It's the credit roller coaster and as you can see It kinda bites so sing the lyrics with me When your debt goes up your score goes down When you pay a little off it goes the other way around It's just the same for everybody every boy and girl The credit roller coaster makes you wanna hurl So throw your hands in the air and wave em around Like a wannabe frat boy trying to get down Then bring em right back to where your laptop's at.

Coaster Kid Posted July 15, 2009 Share Posted July 15, 2009 Wehn there going up the lift hill for a second I thought it was Diamondback but it. And just relived something everyone is getting coasters with open air styel seating now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oldiesmann Posted July 15, 2009 Author Share Posted July 15, 2009 While the seats and restraints are identical (or at least very similar) to those on Diamondback, it's not exactly open air. Goliath consists of 9 cars, each of which has a single row of 4 seats Diamondback consists of 8 cars, each of which has two rows of 2 seats, arranged in a way to prevent the seats in the front row from obstructing the view of the seats in the back row.

Oldiesmann Posted July 15, 2009 Author Share Posted July 15, 2009 so the only good veiw is down in front??? rotag, who is now confused yet slightly understands Those who have ridden Goliath at Six Flags Over Georgia or similar coasters at other parks can probably explain better than I can, but here's a comparison... Diamondback: Goliath (note: this is the one at Six Flags Over Georgia, but it's the same idea): The seats on Goliath are arranged much the same way the seats on Firehawk are.

Beast1979 Posted July 15, 2009 Share Posted July 15, 2009 The park is not Six Flags. At least, not anymore. http://www.rcdb.com/pd39.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erosarrow05 Posted July 15, 2009 Share Posted July 15, 2009 You must have not read carefully enough when the original poster said "La Ronde in Montreal, a park operated by Six Flags through a lease contract" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KI-ORIG-EMP Posted July 15, 2009 Share Posted July 15, 2009 The one thing to remember is that credit report is not free. You pay for a credit monitor service and they charge you after 30 days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Interpreter Posted July 15, 2009 Share Posted July 15, 2009 The one thing to remember is that credit report is not free. You pay for a credit monitor service and they charge you after 30 days. And that you can get a truly free credit report FREE from each of the three credit reporting agencies each year, by law. There is no need to use the sponsor of this ad. Be also aware that when you get your credit report through the sponsor of that ad (they would want me to say their name), they sell your information to any number of other companies.

Oldiesmann Posted July 16, 2009 Author Share Posted July 16, 2009 Another ironic part of that ad - the particular credit agency that runs that site doesn't even operate in Canada (they did for about 2 1/2 years but decided to stop earlier this year supposedly due to the economic recession).
