I can't believe he didn't hang up ! That was hilarious.

The Scotty and Alex Show is the lamest show on 94.1. They used to be on my local station (ACE 102.7) in the morning. And then they replaced them with mancow which is equally as bad.

I went to every house show in Philly at the bingo hall when Pauly  ran it.  Now that WWE stepped and made the   Big show  the champion I stopped watching.  I also check out  TNA once and a while. On MTV last night they had that new  show  Wrestling society x,  it seems they want to be the new ECW with that guy screaming "OH MY GOD"every two seconds like Joey Styles.  ECW now , was nothing like it was in the 90's.

I'll kept watching my old tapes and of course AWA.

OHIO IS FOR CEDAR POINT

Hey there,
I know it's hard to feel the lack of it.
Where you are and how weather it.
With these lights off as these wheels
not rolling on and on. (and on and on and on...)
Slow things down or speed them up.
Not enough or way too much. (and on and on and on...)
How are you when the park is closed?

[Chorus:]
And I can't ride it on my own.
(And I can't ride it on my own.)
Because Cedar Point is in Ohio.
So lock me in and pull the strap.
(So lock me in and pull the strap)
So I can be all clear and ride.
Because you Intamin made it.
You know it's true, Intamin made it well.
You like it too, and I can tell.
You never stop until the final hill is done.

Spare me the last three switchbacks.
"All clear, dispatch" is all we heard.
I'll wait for you, but I can't wait forever.
[x2]

[Chorus:]
And I can't ride it on my own.
(And I can't ride it on my own.)
Because Cedar Point is in Ohio.
So lock me in and pull the strap.
(So lock me in and pull the strap)
So I can be all clear and ride.
Because you Intamin made it.
You know it's true, Intamin made it well.
You like it too, and I can tell.
You never stop until the final hill is done.

(INTAMIN...MADE...IT...WELL)
So lock me in and pull the strap.
The final hill is done.
So I can feel the airtime!

[Chorus:]
And I can't ride it on my own.
(And I can't ride it on my own.)
Because Cedar Point is in Ohio.
So lock me in and pull the strap.
(So lock me in and pull the strap)
So I can be all clear and ride.
Because you Intamin made it.
You know it's true, Intamin made it well.
You like it too, and I can tell.
You never stop until the final hill is done.

(INTAMIN...MADE...IT...WELL)
You know they do, Intamin made it well.
You like it too, and I can tell.
You never stop until the final hill is done.

Post by: GADVwow on February 02, 2007, 08:41:17 PM
CycloneMan, I can be to Cedar Point in about half the time it takes me to get to Six Flags Great Adventure, but:

* In one of those two parks, I always have about three times a better time than the other.

* In ONE of those two parks is perhaps the only wood coaster that I prefer to ANY steel coaster I have ever ridden (oddly, there at least three wood coasters I prefer to it, but I do not prefer any of those three to quite a few steel coasters).

* At one of those parks, I have seen tigers, fantastic shows and the crowd itself even functions as part of the great entertainment value.

Yep, seems I go to Great Adventure far more often than I get to the Point.  And that's a very good thing.

The ExtraBIZZARE Drunk Crack Head Encounter

So I was leaving Seaview Hospital (I visit my aunt there every Thursday), and I got on the bus, and I sat in the back. BIG MISTAKE! There was this guy wailing and what ever, so I sat back and ignored him. Then I notice all the kids looking very uncomfortable, and then he started talking to me. He's all over the place, sluring and what not. He leaned over and started to touch me and then said, "I'm sorry. I'm a bit drunk, if you can't notice!" No Mr, I'm sorry, I can't tell that you are drunk! But truthfully, he didn't smell like alchahol. He was drugged up with out a doubt. Telling me he was an angel. Was going to steel from peoples houses, and make his own. He also threatened me a bit (mentioning he'd shave my eyebrows!) He then got off in front of Wagner High School (HA!). I've had my run in with people like this, many times. But this was the most ackward, and I was planning to get off early, because I was afraid he was going to hurt me! I know you're thinking it's not that bad, but if you were there...

Found some more, yes I know there are repeats from pcman's list.

You Know You're from New Jersey When...

...you recognize or can relate to at least 10 of these:

        * You've been seriously injured at Action Park.
        * You know that the only people who call it "Joisey" are from New York (usually The Bronx) or Texas.
        * You don't think of citrus when people mention "The Oranges."
        * You know that it's called "Great Adventure," not "Six Flags."
        * You've ordered a hard roll with butter for breakfast.
        * You've known the way to Seaside Heights since you were seven.
        * You've eaten at a diner, when you were stoned or drunk, at 3 am.
        * Whenever you park, there's a Camaro within three spots of you.
        * You remember that the "Two Guys" were from Harrison.
        * You know that the state isn't one big oil refinery.
        * At least three people in your family still love Bruce Springsteen, and you know what town Jon Bon Jovi is from.
        * You know what a "jug handle" is.
        * You know that a WaWa is a convenience store.
        * You know that the state isn't all farmland.
        * You know that there are no "beaches" in new Jersey - there's "The Shore," and you know that the road to the shore is "The Parkway" not "The Garden State Highway."
        * You know that "Piney" isn't referring to a tree.
        * Even your school cafeteria made good Italian subs, and, you call it a "sub" not a "submarine sandwich" or worse yet, a "hoagy" or a "hero."
        * You remember the song from the Palisades Park commercials.
        * You know how to properly negotiate a Circle.
        * You knew that the last question had to do with driving.
        * You know that "Acme" is an actual store, not just a Warner Bros creation.
        * You know that this is the only "New..." state that doesn't require "New" to identify it (like, try ...Mexico, ...York, ...Hampshire (doesn't work, does it?).
        * You know how to translate this conversation: "Jeet yet?" "No, Jew?"
        * You only go to New York City for day trips, and you only call it "The City."
        * You know that a "White Castle" is the name of BOTH a fast food chain AND a fast food sandwich.
        * You consider a corned beef sandwich with lettuce and mayo a sacrilege.
        * In the 80's you wore your hair REALLY high.
        * You don't think "What exit" (do you live near?) is very funny.
        * You know that the real first "strip shopping center" in the country is Route 22.
        * You know that people from 609 area code are "a little different."
        * You know that no respectable New Jerseyan goes to Princeton - that's for out-of-staters.
        * The Jets-Giants game has started fights at your school or local bar.
        * You live within 20 minutes of at least three different malls.
        * You can see the Manhattan skyline from some part of your town.
        * You refer to all highways and interstates by their numbers.
        * Every year, you had at least one kid in your class named Tony.
        * You know where every "clip" shown in the Sopranos opening credits is.
        * You've gotten on the wrong highway trying to get out of Willowbrook Mall.
        * You've eaten a Boardwalk cheesesteak with vinegar fries.
        * You have a favorite Atlantic City casino.
        * You start planning for Memorial Day weekend in February.
        * And finally...
        * You've never pumped your own gas.

Today was kind of sad!

I saw an old friend of mine on Port Richmond Ave while waiting for the bus. I knew her in 8th and 9th grade. She was a troubled child. By 8th grade she smoke weed, had tatoos and was pregnant. She was 14, but looked 20! The father of her baby was 30! He thought she was older by the way she acted and looked, plus she lied! She had the baby (who's beautiful by the way) and a year later she dropped out of school. I then heard from her again a year later while walking up Caselton Ave, and she was kind of hiding. She said her mom took her baby away and she had some jobs under other people's names.

I never saw her until today! She came up to my brother and I and we started talking. Her son is 2 1/2 now and her other son is 6 months old. She told us alot (she was always a very open person) about what has happened. She moved back from East New York to Port Richmond, and is by herself. both of her kids are in foster care, though she goes and visits. Her mom moved away, and she's been selling drugs for a living, being she can't find a job. She claims she doesn't do them anymore, but this all she has for now because she can't get a job. My bus came and we said good by. But I couldn't help but think of how much this girl has been through, and how she hasn't made any of the right choices even when she had the chances.

This actually makes me think that my ex isn't as bad as it could be, though she's on her way.

Very cool while coming back from Florida Yesterday May laptop and USB GPS:

If you have a portable, Cell or laptop GPS hold it to a Airplane window and in time it will lockon to the Sats and get the GPS signal  very cool to see
530-550 miles per Hour  and know where you are at
just don't input a route it will try to calculate every second.
see some pics below I took with my camera of my laptop.
check out the airspeed    the Plane is the Green Arror and its trails behind it
I could see the plane moving in REALTIME and see when it crossed over roads and cites and entering states

FYI if you need a NEW GPS unit for laptop or a Standalone unit let me know $25 to $200

I had my first day of work today at Astroland.

I ended up in games at "The Big Prize". It was fun. I liked pressing buttons and I had a lot of fun with the mic.

Some Notes:
I had to kick out a lady for selling bootlegs
It was empty today
Big gust of wind came and prizes fell 20 ft, and it was the 5 minutes I was left alone.
It's not the best job, but it's better than Hot Topic
We closed early due to weather
When we closed, I got on the last train of the Cyclone, walk-on front row.

This is why you should slow down driving through a toll both
Crash at Egg Harbor Toll Plaza on the Garden State Parkway

www.youtube.com/watch?v=q2Mq_AcDt9E

 " he (allegedly) had a seizure. But ask yourself this: Why do they put heavy concrete barriers in front of the tollbooths? Correct - to protect the collectors! But think about it - it's almost like they expect this to happen. If there is anything criminal here, it's the tollbooths. Concrete barriers have no business on a high speed highway. "

or remove the tolls completly

Foamy was a squirrel. He was our squirrel. My mom, sister, brother and I are Wildlife Rehabilitators, and every year we get animals (usually raccoons), and we always release them when they are well enough. The story of Foamy is a sad one. A man came into the Staten Island Zoo (where my works and I'm a Jr Docent) with a squirrel and was putting him on people to take pictures with. Completely illegal. So, Foamy was given over to us. The man said he found Foamy by himself crying next to his dead mother. We took him in and gave him a nice cage, and eventually a bigger one. He was slow while rehabilitating but was getting there. A few days ago we realized he was alot better and able to be released! Well, today (5/22/07) at around 6:45, something went wrong. He started panting and he couldn't move his back legs. We took him outside and let him get some sun (we thought it was lack of Vitamin C), and he was getting better. After an hour we put him back inside and we watched him. He was moving a little and went into his den and refused to come out. He curled up and got comfortable like he always did to go to sleep, and then he laid to rest. He was a cute guy, and I will miss him around the aprtment. I loved him, and we all got attacthed to him.

Here are some pictures of him:

I reschedualed the trip to hershey by one day so i can work July 4th, and when I told them, they said I had to now work July 1st. And about this weekend, all I know is that I work Saturday and start 11:30, when I get off...I don't know, because they don't know. I asked about the rest of the weekend, and they told me that it's a daily schedual, wtf!?!? And I need to work with this to make my two day schedual aqt the Zoo which is becoming harder than I thought!

I had a much better day at work today. My game was driving me crazy. I was getting yelled at for being too slow with the money, and when I spead up I was getting yelled at to be more carefull, WTH!?!? But we were both adjitated with the sun and people today. Of course my Sup left me alone to go out back and have a smoke. I was going crazy with each station, positioning the cables right and running to the Control Panel. We also had to Reset the game twice because some of the cables kept getting jammed. Well, after my break at 3:38, which got me back at 4:08 (I get off at 5), the switched me into the Arcade behind the counter, with kids my age and NO MONEY! Thank god. It was a lot better in there and it was better day. Also my sister came in to suprise me and took pictures. After that we hit up the Cyclone (queue was overflowing, running two trains, not allowing rerides and the line was no more than 8 minutes!)

Video

Kids make a roller coaster out of railroad tracks.
It's a norwegian commercial. A major company is looking for engineers, and it says "we can't wait 'till they grow up". Pretty cool, hadn't seen it before.

The wii is fun but I can see the wii remote going through the TV and pain in the arms after long periods of playing.

For anybody who has seen the news about the man on Staten Island who had all the stuff in his basement (that they use to make bombs, etc) is actually safe! I work with the man's son. He's a really good friend of mine (Hell, a few members saw him at SFGAv opening day), and his father took all of our pictures for the docent graduation. The truth is, he's not making bombs. He buys all this stuff to make fire works! So no body has anything to worry about!

Naked iPhone

The guys at AnandTech have got their hands on an iPhone and rather than play with it, they decided to put it on the operating table and take it apart.

www.anandtech.com/printarticle.aspx?i=3026

The only good thing about this phone is the Screen and the software

- NO 3G  slow EDGE speeds  (My 8525 has 3g at half the cost)
- can't replace the battery
- Can't take Videos Yes that right only photos
- this thing is BIG
- no memory card slot
- etc etc. etc.

But I'm sure the next version will be much better

but you can get a Phone for $200 with more features

Sorry , I forgot you can't have fun on the boards anymore...

The ride is very plain with nothing but track inside an empty box.  The seats are molded wrong and the lap bar stinks. If you're looking for a credit, ride. If not ..spend your money on  Star Jet for some real fun.

 Chuck,  I'm sorry if you actually believed that casino pier would  add a splash down.

My mom and brother found two (or more depending on how you count) actually.  The first one they couldn't get to since the shipment came in not too long after they left first store and there was too much traffic to get back.  The EB Games they went to was across from my aunt's job and she was on break, but she spent too much time saying "What? Huh? A who?" and not listening to my mom say "They'll know what you mean", so when she walked across the street the last of their shipment of 6 Wii was walking out.  The GameStop had a Wii shipment as well, and my brother goes in there while my mom runs into Target.  He asks the cashier if they had one and they ask if he wants one.  He says no because he has one, but his brother wants one for his brother.  The cashier tells him to revert back to the original question and he finally says "Yes".    The cashier turns around and says to his partner, "Do I see a Nintendo Wii in the stockroom? I think we do!" and gives him the 4th Wii out of their shipment of 6.  They normally get only 3, and the 3rd one walked out as my brother walked in.

I waited in front of best buy about 2 weeks ago for my WII there were 21 in the shipment and I got number 21 out of 21. I can't believe they are still so hard to get .

Just another crazy accident.

Ride operator killed in path of swinging pendulum ride
(Sunday, July 8, 2007) - At Powerland Park in Ala-H?rm?, Finland, a 24-year-old ride operator walked into the path of a giant swinging pendulum ride and was struck by the ride's spinning gondola. She was killed instantly.
Park officials say that the woman was attempting to retrieve shoes that a passenger had left on the platform.

One rider suffered minor injuries in the accident.

You shouldn't need to train someone not to run under a large moving "gondola". I'm sorry if I seem harsh, but that might be the stupidest reason for death at a park I've ever heard of. When will people get some common sense. I'm sorry for the people that had to witness it.

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Some person on MouseTimes.com just pissed me off! Allright, so I get a PM from the lead Admin saying

Quote
International Fiasco!

Oh no! We have a crisis on our hands!

(If you'd prefer the summed up version, skip to the bottom of the PM, but for a more entertaining venue, please continue reading.)

Well, due to the "Idea Contest Idea Thingy Contest What's It Called..." Forum, Jahan has said that we should do something extra productive by removing the subthreads within the International Parks and Disney Cruise Line areas....

(If you'd prefer the summed up version, skip to the bottom of the PM, but for a more entertaining venue, please continue reading.)

So What I wanted to ask of you two to do is to label any topics that may seem extra super confusing if we mix-and-match them. Example, well there is a Tower of Terror thread in both Paris and Tokyo. Let's make sure we know which one is which if we combine them all into one big pot. Last thing we need is someone looking for Paris but ending up with Tokyo's, and then we get someone going "Woah! Paris has the American Waterfront in WDS?! That's awesome! Let's go tell my friends!"

Then their friends come to me and say "Hey Jerkface, your a dumb >admin edit<!" Then I'll say "tell your friend to read the topic description (Or title in some cases), he's the dumb >admin edit<!"

:) See, It's like Instant Coffee, only Instant Fiasco!

Man, I'm on crack this morning.

Anyway, thanks guys! I really appreciate it.


Oh and incase you want the summed up version of that:
Just make sure that the topic titles/descriptions in the International section create a distinct difference in between resorts. Thanks :)

Where we going for vacation Chuck?

EDIT: I got it Chuck! I made the vacation. We would fly out to Nashville via Southwest. $116 one way. I haven't researched any lower prices yet. Drive out to Knoxville and visit Dollywood. Thats a 4 hour drive. Then do whatever and drive to Carowinds. Another 4 hour drive. Finish up there and drive to SFOG. Another 4 hour drive. After that, take a trip to Alabama Adventures and ride Rampage! Thats like a 2.5 hour trip. And then fly home out of Birmingham. That flight is about $126 one way into Philly. What do you say to that? Here is the map.

FYI signup for a Southwest credit card and add your past southwest flights to get a free round trip
I got a Free round trip to anywhere Southwest flies with the 3 flights I already had and applying for the credit card.
I have a year to use it

Sure, I'll drive if you get me there and back.  The money you save on the rental could pay for my flight. You  guys would have to come with the gas money. As well as food and my admission to DW. Don't worry I have a Maxx pass and a  SF season pass.

Honestly,  all those parks seem like day trips to me.  I'd also save Dollyfood until winter when the park looks amazing!

Wade/guys if you want free food and drink sneak up to the 7th floor in Tower, I think 3 (the tower near the pool)
you need a key card to get to the floor by elevator but if you go to the 6th floor and walk up to the 7th you can get it.

the 7th floor is the club suite floor where they have free Breakfast,Happy hour (beer and wine and food and desert.
the handicap person I go with they give him the access card for free. :D
Once on the 7th they don't check your card ,just walk in like you own the place.
its at the end of the hallway.  ;)

its a closed system

I have my pocket pc cooked with a custom operating system
so many free apps for my device and I can change my battery

I found out yesterday that I waisted my four free GA tickets that I got as an employee. I gave them to a co-worker who went to the water park on Saturday at 12 noon. They said they didn't mind the long lines but they said there was nothing to do.  There are 18 really good water slides, the largest lazy river in the world and a wave pool. They didn't want to go to the ride park because they had a kid in the demographic hole the park has created: Too big for the kiddie rides; too small for the major coasters, too bored of the old flat rides. The parents aren't also thrill ride people. The water park was an awesome alternative. I'm sorry I waisted my tickets when I would have given them to people who would have enjoyed them.

Some rumors from screamscape

Rumor - (8/8/07) It was mentioned at the ACE Preservation Con that we wouldn?t see a new coaster in the park until 2009.

New Attractions - Rumor - (8/8/07) The park GM gave a hint that next year?s attraction would be ?spicy?. I?m not sure if it was mentioned that this would be a new ?ride? or simply a new addition to the park in which it could refer to a new restaurant.

(8/8/07) During the ACE Preservation Con over the past weekend apparently the GM of Six Flags Great Adventure mentioned that we probably wont see Chiller run again until next season

remember this is all rumored
I heard they put 1.5 million into Chiller this past year

Stock over $4

I'm Finding Forever with some Common Sense.  Smooooooooth.  This album (if my computer wasn't just pushed back like a sidekick rapper's album by HP) would inspire a new NL creation by me, featuring the two new elements I've been daydreaming about.  Wild thought-provocation like an Intamin with the smooth sophistication of a B&M.  Classic.

With how little I've been using NL, the track will probably come out as crap compared to some of my best work.  I'm still gonna try it, because my vision of the first two elements after the launch is great, and goes very well with the "Finding Forever" title of Common's CD, which would also be the name of the coaster if I released it.

Dinosaurs Dinosaurs Dinosaurs Dinosaurs!

Okay, so I may seem a little excited, let me explain! About a month or two ago, the news was released to all staff here at the Staten Island Zoo, that in October we will have a temporary Dinosaur exhibet. Obviously all animitronic (though some SG will think they're real), and it will be in a tent with a whole jungle environment! We had a similar exibit, when I was 4, so this one will be updated a bit.

Well, this summer, we the Junior Docents have a bizzare summer rotation program, but we still learn to deal (today I was a greater...sorta). Well, we had a Docent trip to the Elmwood Park Zoo the other day for an exchange, so we worked there. On the way back, my boss puller over me and my friend Mike, and told us that the whole time the Dinasours are here (a few months), we will be in there for all of our rotations and we will pretty much be in charge of it!

This of course made us really excited, and now we have to learn every single thing about these dinos and about the exhibet! But it'll be worht it! (This is the same Mike that I worked the Reptile Wing Media Day with!)

I have two properties in the game that i don't own. One is because the guy's weak spot was weapon use and i forgot to switch away from the Python when I shot him in the knee. The other one was because i hooked this woman since her weak point was punches. I should have jabbed her since i lost the payout. Then i bombed the store to end a mob war. I'm thinking of replaying the game 1) because it's that fun and 2) to leave the compounds for last. I took 3/4 of them over well before the end of the game.

I'm loving Space Mountain. The crew is all pretty cool and it runs pretty smoothly. I have 2 more training days left before i earn my ears on sunday. Friday I get to breakdown the Mountain and fix it. So far I've done all the positions on the ride, and walked the zones to open the ride. I also got a lights on ride, which is nowhere as good as lights out.

from scream some rumors

is this SFGadv new coaster but indoors ?  www.rcdb.com/ig972.htm

New Attractions - Rumor - (9/14/07) With all the focus lately on the new indoor coaster, it seems we?ve been ignoring the rest of attractions. If the latest rumors are on track, it looks like it will be a ?dry? year at Hurricane Harbor once again with no new slides planned. However, it seems that something will be added to the Safari once again? something that could involve a unique after dark experience. More as we find out.

(9/12/07) The latest buzz over the rumored Dark Knight indoor coaster rumor are quite interesting to say the least. We?ve been hearing on and off how it may be a spinning coaster and others saying it wont be, and we think we have the solution to the question now. Before Mack?s spinning coaster opened at Knott?s this past summer Mack?s first version of that same ride system was the EuroMIR which features the same cars, but all of the spinning movement is controlled by the ride to allow the riders to face whatever direction they want at that moment and then lock back into place for the coaster segments.
  This more controlled aspect may be the key to the dark ride aspect of this rumored project allowing Six Flags to spin the cars to one side or the other to view the scenery in each room. Now remember, if they use the same cars, they feature both forward and backwards facing seats, which means there may be entirely different sets and scenes on each side of the ride. Considering the duality here and that we?re talking about this being a Batman villain themed concept, I?ve got to wonder if Two-Face will be involved in the storyline.

But I can now officially say that my main personal objective for this internship has been fulfilled. Everything else is just icing on the cake.  I've felt the magic, had my disbelief suspended, and have taken notice of what gives me that feeling. :D

Six Flags Over Texas implodes Intamin freefall ride  (OCT 2, 2007) Six Flags Over Texas in Arlington, Texas made theme park history today with the implosion of its Intamin freefall ride. The ride removal was necessary to make way for a new 2008 family coaster. The
implosion is believed have been a first in theme park history. In 1979 the Greyhound wooden coaster at the Lakewood Fair grounds in Atlanta, Ga. was imploded as part of a scene for the movie Smokey and the Bandit II starring Burt Reynolds, Jackie Gleason and Jerry Reed.

(http://www.amusementtoday.com/image/Implosion.jpg)


With one long bang, the 128-foot tall Wildcatter (formally known as the Texas Cliffhanger) came crashing down to the ground in a matter of a few second. The tower's structure fell directly onto the ride's horizontal track area. The implosion, performed by Dallas Demolition Company in Dallas, was perfection with fencing surrounding the ride remaining untouched.

A large group of media members had a bird's eye view of the implosion, viewing the implosion from the 300-foot level of of the park's signature icon, the Oil Derrick. High above the tower media members, five television helicopters hovering overhead captured the implosion on tape. Six Flags Over Texas maintenance personnel were taking in the sights perched out on top of the Oil Derrick's roof,and on the catwalk of the Texas Chute Out parachute drop.

The Wildcatter was designed and constructed specifically for Six Flags Over Texas. It debuted during the 1982 season as the Texas Cliffhanger as the world's first freefall ride. In 1995 it was re-themed and renamed the G-Force and in 1999, the entrance of the ride was moved and the name was changed to its current name, ?Wildcatter.? Since it's opening, it carried more than 17 million riders.

The site will make way for Tony Hawk's Big Spin, a spinning coaster from Gerstlauer.

Six Flags Discovery Kingdom to Present the Biggest Christmas Tree in the World
Majestic Tree to Symbolize Holiday in the Park, the Biggest Holiday Celebration in California


 VALLEJO, Calif., Oct 22, 2007 /PRNewswire via COMTEX/ -- VALLEJO, Calif., Oct. 22 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/-- Standing at 125' tall, the towering presence and iconic symbol of California's biggest holiday celebration, Holiday in the Park at Six Flags Discovery Kingdom, will be a gigantic Douglas fir -- the biggest Christmas tree in the world! The tree is expected to arrive at the park on October 30 from a tree farm in Oregon, traveling first by truck on Route I-5 and finally, ceremoniously delivered via Chinook helicopter into the park. Park guests will be able to enjoy this exquisitely decorated and lighted tree when Holiday in the Park kicks off on Friday, November 23.
"Having the biggest tree in the world will make Holiday in the Park one of the most exciting and magical places to visit this holiday season," said Martin Lathrop, park president. "If you can imagine the sheer size of this magnificent tree, and add to that the dazzling display of holiday-themed areas all around the park, it really will be the biggest holiday celebration in all of California."
The Christmas tree, which has a trunk diameter of four feet and an expanse of branches up to 55 feet, will be placed in the existing Dolphin Fountain location, a centrally-located area which will allow guests to view the tree the moment they enter the park. Each night, guests will be asked to "search" for Santa Claus, whom once found, will light the Christmas tree and the actual park simultaneously unveiling millions of twinkling lights in an extraordinary visual display.
The 125' tree, transported from the Willamette Evergreen Tree Farm in Salem, OR will be considered the tallest cut Christmas tree found this holiday season. To transport the tree to Six Flags Discovery Kingdom, the park has enlisted the services of expert transport service Total Quality Logistics and Redmond Heavy Hauling of Portland. A 75' tractor will be attached to an 18- wheeler and the truck will journey from Oregon to California on Interstate 5. Large banners will identify the special cargo as the biggest Christmas tree in the world, as the truck makes its way along 580-mile rural route, stopping at various towns before arriving at its final destination.
"The public can literally track the tree's journey on our website and make plans to see the biggest Christmas tree in the world as it passes through their hometown," said Lathrop.
After the approximate 2-3 day journey, the tree will be air-lifted directly into the park by a BV234 Chinook helicopter, the biggest and heaviest lifting helicopter in the U.S., piloted by Columbia Helicopters of Oregon. Members of the media will be invited to photograph what will no doubt be an incredible sight, as the tree is set in place inside the park. The tree will be decorated over the next few weeks and be on display throughout the entire run of Holiday in the Park.
For Holiday in the Park, the park is being transformed in familiar and time-honored holiday themes. Guests will enjoy millions of dazzling lights, life-sized toys and ornaments, non-stop entertainment and festival-like ambience to get everyone into the spirit of the season.
Among the myriad Holiday in the Park offerings: Santa's Workshop, where kids can visit those industrious elves and pose with Santa and Mrs. Claus; Candy Cane Lane, a canopy of larger-than-life candy canes and lollipops; Toyland featuring an enormous Nutcracker soldier, teddy bear and other giant- sized toys; the Christmas Tree Forest with the fragrant aroma of a variety of trees and Winter Wonderland where Frosty the Snowman has set up house.
The entertainment lineup will include an array of all new holiday-themed wildlife shows including Dream, starring Shouka, the killer whale; Super Spirited Sea Lions Save Christmas, and A Dolphin Holiday. In Toyland, toys come to life in the original "Toy Box Christmas" show and at the Jungle Theater, an all-new marquee presentation, "Discover Christmas." Additionally, a new holiday movie, "Santa's Late," will premier in the 4D Iwerks Theater.
The inaugural Holiday in the Park event at Six Flags Discovery Kingdom will begin on Friday, November 23 and operate on weekends through December 16, daily from December 17-23 (closed December 24 and 25). Special holiday dates are December 26 through January 6, 2008.
Operating hours for Holiday in the Park, the biggest holiday celebration in California vary. Visit www.sixflags.com/discoverykingdom for admission fees and operating hours. Guests can enjoy all of the fun and exciting new attractions at Six Flags Discovery Kingdom with the purchase of a 2008 Six Flags Season Pass. Passes are now on sale for $69.99 each. Season Passes are available for purchase online at sixflags.com or by calling (707) 644-5260. Holiday in the Park will be available for 2007 Season Pass holders as an additional bonus to the regular operating season. Purchase of a 2008 Season Pass allows free admission both the 2007 and 2008 Holiday in the Park and all of the 2008 operating season.

rjholla I actually got stuck on space mountain for 1 hour last year. I was in car 21 i think it was. The restraints wouldnt open. they had to shut down the whole ride and wheel me and the car into the maintanance portion and tried to get me out for 45 minutes. they finally got a maintanance guy with a crowbar and hammer and wacked away at the car till it opened.

The bad part? The next day the car was back in service. they also had this cool mickey portrait done all in pennies.

PS Six Flags stock is tanking. Its now at $2.80 a share. I should buy $100 worth(ontop of the couple of shares I have already) and make some money.

Income was 89.7 million compared to 127.9 million in 2006

- Quarterly Revenue Down 2% Due to Soft July Attendance, Partially Offset by Total Revenue Per Capita Growth

- Nine Month Revenue Up 2% on Stable Attendance and Total Revenue Per Capita Growth, Despite Fewer Park Operating Days

NEW YORK, Nov. 9 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Six Flags, Inc. (NYSE: SIX) today announced operating results for its third quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2007.(1)

Total revenue for the quarter decreased 2% to $465.2 million from $474.2 million in the prior-year quarter. Attendance decreased 0.3 million, or 3%, to 12.0 million from 12.3 million in the prior year. The attendance decrease stems from a difficult July during which attendance dropped 9% compared to the prior year reflecting unfavorable weather primarily at our Texas and Georgia parks, one less Saturday in the operating calendar, and extensive national media coverage of a ride-related accident in late June at the Company's park in Louisville, Kentucky. Prior to these events, attendance for June had increased 10% over the prior year. Following these events, August stabilized at 1% and September increased 8% over the prior year attendance.

Total revenue per capita for the quarter increased by $0.39 (1%) to $38.90, reflecting increased sponsorship revenue. Per capita guest spending increased $0.04 during the quarter to $37.13 as guests spent 3% more in-park, primarily on food and beverages, parking, and games, while per capita spending on admissions was down slightly, reflecting an increased mix of season pass and promotional offer attendance.

The Company's income from continuing operations for the quarter was $89.7 million, compared to income of $127.9 million in the third quarter of 2006, reflecting reduced revenue, $15.3 million of increased costs and expenses primarily from increased advertising ($10.0 million) and park-wide labor ($5.3 million), the cost of settling a class-action labor lawsuit in California (included with other expense in the statement of operations), and an increased loss on the disposal of fixed assets.

"I'm proud of the advances we continue to make at Six Flags despite a temporary setback within the third quarter due to inclement July weather and extensive negative publicity stemming from the accident at our Kentucky park," said Mark Shapiro, Six Flags President and CEO. "With revenue per guest and consumer satisfaction scores at all-time highs and a powerful park-wide capital expansion plan on deck, we are well positioned to deliver on the promise of this company's turnaround in 2008."

Net income applicable to common stock in the third quarter 2007 was $84.2 million, or $0.61 per share - diluted, compared to net income applicable to common stock of $159.3 million, or $1.08 per common share - diluted in the prior-year period, which included $36.8 million (or $0.23 per common share - diluted) of gain from discontinued operations.

Adjusted EBITDA(2) for the quarter was $198.6 million, compared to $216.7 million in the third quarter of 2006, reflecting decreased revenue and increased costs and expenses and a $5.2 million reduction in third-party share of Adjusted EBITDA due to the Company's acquisition in July of the minority interest in Six Flags Discovery Kingdom.

Nine Month Results

For the nine months ended September 30, 2007, total revenue increased $19.3 million, or 2%, to $860.6 million from $841.3 million in the prior-year period.

Total revenue per capita for the nine months compared to the prior-year period increased $0.94 (2%) to $39.02 reflecting increased sponsorship revenue and per capita guest spending. Increased per capita guest spending for the nine months of $0.44 over the prior-year period, or 1%, to $36.91 was driven by increased food and beverages, parking, rentals and games revenue. Attendance for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 was 22.1 million, flat with the prior-year period, despite 53 (2%) fewer park operating days.

Total costs and expenses, including cost of sales, depreciation, amortization, stock-based compensation and loss on fixed assets, increased $14.7 million to $752.5 million for the first nine months of 2007 compared to the prior-year period. The key drivers of the change were increased advertising expense ($28.0 million) and park-wide labor ($10.6 million), partially offset by prior-year costs related to the change in management ($13.7 million), a reduced loss on fixed assets ($8.8 million) and lower stock-based compensation ($6.8 million).

Net loss applicable to common stock for the first nine months of 2007 was $142.7 million, or $1.51 per share, compared to a net loss applicable to common stock of $132.4 million, or $1.41 per common share in the prior-year period. The increased net loss of $10.3 million reflects a higher loss from continuing operations ($6.8 million) driven by higher costs and expenses and an increased loss from discontinued operations ($4.6 million), partially offset by the impact of a prior-year change in accounting principles ($1.0 million).

Adjusted EBITDA for the first nine months of 2007 improved by $0.6 million over the prior-year period to $187.7 million.

Cash and Liquidity

As of September 30, 2007, the Company had no balance outstanding on its $275 million revolving credit facility (excluding letters of credit in the amount of $33.3 million) and had $105.4 million in unrestricted cash.

Once the final routes are chosen and funding is promised, construction could take six or seven years beginning in early 2009, said John J. Matheussen, DRPA's executive director.

Even though I sadly drive every single day from Deptford to Camden Ferry Ave and would LOVE this to happen, this is why I don't care.  The odds of me even living in this crap hole of a state in that amount of time are slim to none.  They've been talking about this for YEARS and enough is enough.  Its too late as more people are fleeing this state than are moving in.

^Agreed, but the park needs more of those things called flat rides. like a Revolution 32( The claw ) a train and a set of flyers.

I do think the park could utilize Main street more effectively than the Garden of eating.   Like Keeping the gift shops and eatiers open.  Have Rides like the carousel, tea cups, houdini, Black beards also open.   Bonus Items would include freezing the stunt show lake and hanging lights in all those beautiful trees in lake front. Have a huge Christmas tree at the Ferris Wheel with Santa and Reindeer's.

Or some holiday season greeting theme over that way.  Just my thoughts.

The Boardwalk games, Spaceshuttle, Twister, Parachutes, SpongeBob, Houdini, Carousel, Tea Cups, Musik Express, Autobahn, Old Country games, Showcase Theater, Flying Wave, Buccaneer, Skull Mountain and Dark Knight could open-- the later two with heat.

Do you happen to know the name of the music that has been played on the show recently?? It's not really music, but it's just weird noises... I think Benji described it as "It sounds like they are just falling on their instruments!" and then they played another "song" and said "This would go great with some dolphins in the background"...

Pcman?  What operating system are you using?

I run A dual boot.

XP sp2 pro  and  Vista Ultimate and sometimes i test some Linux Distros

But XP is still faster and more compatible with everything
the problem with Vista is its not compatible with everything and needs to much horsepower  to run.Try Vista on a Pentium 2 or P3 or P4 with 256mb ram and like a slideshow.Xp can run these older machines fine.
Whats the since in using a Operating system if it doesn't work
but it does have some nice features and the new service pack that comes out soon will make it better

try Ubuntu or
for older machines Xbuntu and Fluxbuntu all free
and the best thing about these and most Linux versions (or Distros as they call them)
you can run it off the CD to try it , runs in ram
I always carry a Copy incase I need to make a repair in a non booting Windows system.
its also like ERD commander

If you have a old Laptop or PC you can run a operating system as slow as a
386 486 Pentium cpu
8mb ram
50mb or no hard drive

Old PC try these Linux Distro, can run and fit on a small thumbdrive or CD
- Damn Small Linux - only 50mb 
- Puppy Linux
- Tiny Linux

Intel in the first quarter of 2008 will be releasing the Penryn 4 core CPU
with an amazing 12mb of L2 cache. Equal to say a 12ghz to 16ghz cpu
I been using AMD for about 7 years now but Intel is just moving so fast.

So waiting till next summer you should be able to get a screamer.

The Q6600 quad core (Equal to a 12ghz) I just got for $279 was $570 just 3 months ago and this chip overclocks easily and stable to a cpu costing more then $900

I just bought now since I been waiting and looking for about 6 months and Have a to a ton of Old Film conversion. I have about 40 old Family films and older 8mm tapes to transfer.

just Google Penryn

Title: Comcast bandwidth of 160Mbps down and 120Mbps up--starting 2008
Post by: PcMan on December 03, 2007, 11:53:04 AM

Comcast confirms we'll see the rollout of DOCSIS 3.0--the next-gen data over cable standard allowing bandwidth of 160Mbps down and 120Mbps up--starting next year, with 20 percent of its footprint expected to be blanketed in bandwidth goodness by the end of 2008. Even though Comcast isn't saying where it'll fall, markets where there's FiOS are probably going to continue having all of the fat pipe fortune--competition is good for people in those areas, bad for the rest of us. Now for the real bad news: more ?

http://gizmodo.com/gadgets/godzilla-bandwidth/

I currently own a DOCSIS 2.0 modem

Title: Re: Anything Avenue
Post by: overlord on December 04, 2007, 10:03:53 AM
FIOS ftw. I love it. I have no problem with it at all. And I get all of my speed.
Title: Re: Anything Avenue
Post by: PcMan on December 04, 2007, 10:37:59 AM
What speed tier are you at ?
I would love to have the 30  Mbps down /15 Mbps up  but at $139 a little steep

But they now have a upgraded new package at
 15 Mbps downloads /15 Mbps uploads $64  this is just awesome for the upload speed

But I don't have FIOS in my area and not for another year.

But for those that have cable and have FIOS in the same area Comcast is boosting your speed
and for $10 more if its available you can get BLAST which is 16 Mbps download / 2 Mbps uploads  and higher with speedboost.

Most comcast subscribers have 6 / 0.7

Maybe a year from now I will be surfing at 50/10 or whatever

Post by: overlord on December 04, 2007, 12:24:47 PM
I have the 20/5 package. I personally love it. What the hell do I need 15 upload for when half the servers up there limit me anyways? Innervision has the 10/2 package and thats still fast. There aren't many sites (if any) where I can push my 20 mbps to the limit.
Title: Re: Anything Avenue
Post by: PcMan on December 04, 2007, 12:53:02 PM
Nice

Most people can get along with 768k DSL for surfing the net
but if transferring big files and controlling a remote PC which I do both of daily ( try FREE www.logmein.com )
I want as much speed as I can get    20/5 is very nice   :)
THe max I can get in my area is 8mb and thats me paying $10 more a month  it does boost to 14-18 at times with the speedboost they use.
But I bother them ever month on me getting the 16/2 Blast but still not ready in my area

I would take 15/15  over 20/5  but i have no choices in my area YET.

enjoy

Don't get your panties in a bunch just because the Flyers are playing REAL hockey.  The league and the other players are all just becoming wimps.  The players don't even bother trying to avoid being hit in the hopes of suspending the other players now.

I deserve a Guest Service Fanatic card for today because of my dedication to preserving ride uptime.  My limp shows that...

Today at unload on B side we had random slow-advancing trains.  Luckly the crowd was light and we never had it happen when there was a danger of cascading.  But we were pushing the slow train anyway to keep it moving.  I was told that it was happening randomly, but this happened to be my first time encountering it.  I go to push the train, and get it all of the way through the brake.  At that point, my foot slips between the platform and track and my shoe gets stuck.  I decide I'm not even going to try and save myself and make it worse, so I just fall and let my foot gracefully come out of my sneaker.  I land on my knees and hands, pop up while laughing, pull out my sneaker, and slip it on right as the next rocket comes 'round the bend into unload.  Of course, I had to fall right as Unload 1 was on the intercom with Tower, so I was seen falling on camera.  Not feeling the least bit embarrassed, I pick up the intercom and say "Tower, tell me you didn't find that hilarious!"  Good times man.

I love the Mountain. :D

Today I woke up late, and rushed out of the house to walk to the Zoo. As I'm down the block, I noticed I was 20 minutes early, so I decided to stop on the bridge at the park. It's a nice bridge, about 20 feet above the water! So I'm sitting there texting, and I turn around, but I had a strange spasm and I accidently flung my phone into the lake! So now, I don't have a phone, and I need everyone's numbers now!

Then, I get to the Zoo and find out we are closing early and I'm not needed, so I did paper work and animal care before hanging around waiting for my mom....ugh! NOT MY DAY!

Anyway, it's my websites (http://www.NorthEastCoasters.com) birthday so go check it out!

I admit, I'm going to miss it. But, it turns out, the local news advertised the hell out of this, and it was packed! So we were working like crazy. Though I was by myself the last hour. I was not in a good mood either becaus people wouldn't behave. And I kept making announcments being serious but using a sarcastic tone by sayind, "For the safety of yourself, the people around you, and the dinosaurs, please don't lean, sit, climb over or under the chains! And do NOT touch the dinosaurs. You can fall and break the chains, dinosaurs and yourself! And I DONT feel like filling out accident reports!"...is it sad that I actually said that more than 5 times? And the chains got knocked down 4 times today! UGH! But, what ever, I will miss DE.

Post by: PcMan on January 17, 2008, 02:19:37 PM

For anyone that needs to get around on Mass transit

PATCO, SEPTA may team up for new rail service

PATCO's proposals to extend commuter rail service along the Philadelphia waterfront could mean a new partnership with SEPTA, officials said today.

PATCO, which operates the 14-mile rail line between Lindenwold and Center City, wants to branch out in Philadelphia, extending service along Delaware Avenue and perhaps to City Hall. The agency is considering re-opening the long-closed Franklin Square Station at 6th and Race streets to serve as the hub of the new service.

Three proposed routes are under consideration, with a price tag of at least $1 billion. If federal approval and funding were forthcoming, completion of the lines might be 10 years off. PATCO officials said it might be possible for SEPTA to operate the service, if PATCO built it.

Thanks. I really was just wondering if it was over a 90 degree bank. I always look at banks and wonder what degree they hit, but can never estimate them well myself.

For example: I always look at Batman's overbanked turn after the first corckscrew, going into the second one. To me, it looks over 90 degrees, but I feel like it is just an illusion and does not actually reach 90 degrees.

Vineland, rock city? Not in '08
Three-day festival will be back, organizers say.

www.philly.com/inquirer/front_page/20080126_Vineland__rock_city__Not_in_08.html

By Edward Colimore and Dan DeLuca

Inquirer Staff Writers
Vineland might still rock - but not this summer.

The controversial Vineland Music Festival, originally set for Aug. 8 to 10 on a 570-acre farm near the New Jersey city, has been rescheduled for early summer 2009, organizers announced yesterday.

Citing competing music festivals and concerts in Jersey City, Baltimore and the Philadelphia area on the same weekend, coproducers C3 Presents and Festival Republic decided on the delay.

The move gives the organizers more time to demonstrate to Vineland residents that "these are new-style festivals that are peaceful, family events," C3's Charles Attal said yesterday.

In a statement, the promoters said they would be "working with the community to address all neighborhood concerns."

The Vineland festival ran into opposition from residents who anticipated jammed roads, loud music, and noisy late nights, as well as alcohol and drug use.

The postponement disappointed city officials and encouraged opponents of the event, who said they would continue their fight.

"We believe the rationale of the promoters is sound and in the best interests of Vineland residents," Mayor Perry Barse said in a statement. "The Barse administration remains committed to the festival and looks forward to a successful 2009 event."

Pete Steenland, 63, a Vineland developer who unofficially heads Neighbors Against the Rock Concert Site, cautioned that the schedule change was "not a complete withdrawal. It's a deferral."

"You don't want to be complacent," Steenland warned. "We need to change the ordinance [allowing the festival] or change the administration so the new administration will change the ordinance."

Steenland said yesterday that the Cumberland County farmland near Sherman Avenue and Hance Bridge Road remained a poor location for a festival expected to attract between 30,000 and 50,000 music fans and campers a day.

"There would be too much traffic that would overwhelm the area," he said. "These are all country roads around here, with one lane going each way."

Steenland has vowed legal action unless the city addresses residents' concerns and has filed a state open-records law request for documents pertaining to the festival.

"I think this [postponement] gives time to find the right place for the event," said Adam Goldstein, 42, who said he has lived in Vineland all his life. "The location is the biggest problem with the whole thing - and the administration trying to jam it down people's throats."

Barse, who is seeking a third term in the city's May 13 municipal election, said he was concerned that the concert issue had become "a political football."

"I trust the additional time proposed will address legitimate concerns of our residents and will sift out the political rhetoric," he said.

While acknowledging opposition, Attal said it was "not why we pulled out."

C3, of Austin, Texas - which promotes Lollapalooza in Chicago and the Austin City Limits Festival - and its British promotion partner, Festival Republic, said too many other events were vying for bands and for fans' dollars.

The All Points West Music and Arts Festival at Liberty State Park in Jersey City also is set for Aug. 8 to 10. And, though not officially announced, Attal said that the third annual Virgin Festival is scheduled that weekend at Baltimore's Pimlico Racetrack. Headliners at last year's massive two-day affair included the Police, Smashing Pumpkins, Beastie Boys and Amy Winehouse.

On top of that, Attal said, C3 recently learned that two major, as-yet-unannounced amphitheater shows in the Philadelphia area - presumably at the Tweeter Center in Camden - also are planned on those days.

The promoter said he was confident that the Vineland festival would go on next year, probably in June. "We're 100 percent dedicated to making it happen on that site next year," Attal said.

In his experience, Attal said, after opponents understand that the festivals aren't like the violence-marred 1999 Woodstock anniversary concert "or a bunch of kids running around starting trouble, they support it."

Yes it
Norton, MacAfee are crap.  I tried them ALL
Even if they are free I wouldn't use them
They both install so much Bloat which slows down your PC.
Norton corporate isn't to bad but the retail version has to much junk

I use AVG or AVAST  both FREE
I also use BitDefender or Kasperski Both Rated #1 or close to it.

but on my Laptops I use AVG which is actually rated over Norton and Macafee.

Avast is good if you want a virus scanner that can also scan in DOS before Windows Starts.

People throw out computers because they think they are slow due to Viruses and other spyware/Bloatware

Go here www.filehippo.com and download
- CCleaner
- CWShredder
- AVG Free Edition
- HijackThis
- Ad-Aware 2007
- Spybot Search & Destroy

run the above apps to remove Nasties on your machine

Depends what you want to do with and and cost
do you want a thin and light laptop or a desktop replacement which are normally bigger
when buying make sure you look at the warranty
most new laptops have only a 1 year warranty

I'm a thinkpad kind of guy  most come with 3 year warranties.
the one I'm using now is a T60  Dual core  I got it used on ebay for $450 (its worth about $1000)
have almost 3 years warranty left on it.

here are some places you can find new laptops under $500

I can tell you what NOT to get: HP laptops.  Especially the dv2000 line.  I got my first one about a year ago and it died on me 6 months later in August.  It took me over a month for them to replace it, and I only got it back that fast because I got them to admit that they lied to me, raised hell, and they ended up sending me a replacement laptop that was an upgrade of my old one.  This machine so far hasn't had a problem except for the time that it decided it hated life and slid quite magically off of a desk.  They were still lying about how long it would take to get the laptop back to customers, and this time the tech support person told me that the issue before and now was that the dv2000 motherboards have some issues, so they can't keep them in stock since so many are being sent back.

Add the overall suckage of their phone support people, and the fact that one actually yelled at ME because I didn't have a customer support ticket that SHE was supposed to supply me because the last person gave me the old one from the last time my laptop went in for service and I'm never buying their laptops again.

I'll stick with their desktops though since I do love my laptop -when it's working- and my girlfriend's HP desktop survived being launched out of a speeding shopping cart and flying over a car. True story.

RJ, from my usage of my HP Laptop, the Workstations are pretty reliable and run very nicely. The laptop Stevens gave me is running with no problems. Now since it has Vista on it, the whole software portion of it sucks. And I agree with you on the tech support. Luckily I do not have to go throw them in order to get my laptop fixed.

I had a USED  T42 THinkpad 2 years ago
the USB port went bad.
it had a  3 year IBM warranty.

I called them ( IBM )  up
they sent out a Laptop shipping box the next day with free overnight shipping.
I got the laptop back in 4 days with a new motherboard. ( i removed the hard drive B4 i sent it in )
the best service I ever had.

I know a warranty through www.squaretrade.com they will just refund what you paid for the item
they won't even fix it just get you a refund in about a week.
I guess they just then dump them off to people like me.
FYI I normally I will not buy an extended warranty on anything but on a used laptop that adds 2 years for $29 i would. or a $2000 65" LCD if I can get a 3-5 years for under $200. anything that is known to failure ( LCD backlights laptops etc. )

Oh yeah...just to clarify the warranties at Staples. When you buy the warranty, there are two types. There are the normal wear and tear warranties which means if a dvd drive breaks, its eligible to be fixed. But if you want screen protection and that stuff, you need to get the accidental plan which is about $100 I believe. These warranties usually come into effect after the manufacturers warranty expire.

History

The idea of a roller coaster started out when cavemen discovered that they could get a thrill by riding on dinosaurs. A recreation of this ride still exists in the Jurassic Park section at Universal Studios. When the dinosaurs became extinct, cavemen consulted Arrow Dynamics, who then built the first real roller coaster. It consisted of a large drop down the hillside into a small loop. It was then that the concept of whiplash was invented, and this is still used today. Arrow also invented the concept of headbanging, and later licensed the technology to TOGO and Vekoma.

I spent all mornin in th hospital!

Well, I got into 2nd period. Looked around and did not see my brother and Shaun (his Para), and my phone vibrated, I looked and it was a text from my brother telling me he was being rushed to the hospital. Apperantly he was choking on a bagel, and he then drank water which made the bagel swell in his throat, and he couldn't breath. I got my things and left. I went down to the Special Ed office to see if Ms Niece knew anything. I was on the verge of an asthma attack and I had to leave. We talked and stayed in there till the bell rang. Then I went to my Trig class, when my best friend told my teacher we had to leave, and she gave us permission (Under the circumstances), and my best friend Saadi drove me home to go get my Pump, and then we went to the ER. We get to wear my brother is supposed to be. And then we saw him come to us, and we just laughed and called him an idiot! And we stayed there until they discharged him! Now he's resting.

Here is a slideshow of rides and fun from SF Great America put together with an old Marriot jingle by GreatAmericaParks.com.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5lmNSVwt-fE&feature=related

Most of these rides are still intact and operate in the park today.

In the March-April issue of ACE News, SFGAm GM Hank Salemi suggested for next year and beyond that Great America's two "holes" left by the departed Deja Vu and Splashwater Falls might not be as far apart as they appear, and could conceivably be put to a single use.
Title: Re: Anything Goes!
Post by: Robert T Ackerman on April 12, 2008, 01:38:50 AM
^ One of the "big rumors" floating around the SFGAm area is a Dive Coaster... This is kind of far fetched, but, from what I'm told, it might start where DV is, and dive under the midway and have some elements where the water ride is. I kind of hope this is true. Making one side of American Eagle backwards again would be a nice touch as well :)

OK guys I have to ask does anyone know when Good Charlotte is playing at SFGADV ?? I know I seen it on the list at one of the windows at the main gate . I was buying one of those BAF for $15 tickets . My daughters LOVE them and really don't want to miss it . I am pretty sure it is in Aug. I wonder if there is an UP-Charge for it ? Any info would be great as I can't seem to find it anywhere .

Stream those coaster videos to other parts of your home with

Google Media Server

http://googledesktop.blogspot.com/2008/06/from-desktop-to-your-tv.html

Google Media Server is a Windows application that aims to bridge the gap between Google and your TV. It uses Google Desktop technology such as Desktop gadgets for the administration tool and Google Desktop Search to locate media files. All you need is a PC running Google Desktop and a UPnP-enabled device (e.g. a PlayStation 3). At the touch of a button, you can then:

    * Access videos, music, and photos stored on your PC
    * View Picasa Web Albums
    * Play your favorite YouTube videos

Google Media Server works in conjunction with Google Desktop on a Windows-based PC to stream media files to Universal Plug-a-Play devices which most notably includes the PlayStation 3, all near automatically.

In addition to being able to hunt down and share video, music, and photo files, the Google Media Server has the capabilities to interact with Google's Picasa Web Albums as well as YouTube videos.

Just pulled into a gas station for $3.81 regular and I was charged $3.89 for using a credit card. It turned out that all the gas stations on the W H Pike are doing the same thing, with the credit card price replacing the mid-grade price on the station signs. How long has this been going on?
Title: Re: Anything Goes!
Post by: PcMan on June 30, 2008, 03:38:36 PM

I also noticed that
I was about to fill up one day and seen that the credit card price was higher
so i got less gas and paid with cash

some stations still have cash or credit but I think this is how they are trying to stay in business
since they only make like 2-3 cent per gallon or something like that.
So they been opening up "food stores" to supplement.

at around $3.82  cost me around $86 to fill up with Regular
this has been cutting down on my coaster trips this year
Title: Re: Anything Goes!
Post by: WadeJ on June 30, 2008, 04:42:01 PM
Yes, that happened to me last week on the Black Horse Pike right near 295.  I think it was 4 cents more a gallon credit.

I had no choice since I didn't know until I got there.  Obviously they know this to :(
Title: Re: Anything Goes!
Post by: darkridedan on June 30, 2008, 04:57:18 PM
Yeah, normally I pay cash at a gas station that charges the same for cash or credit but I forgot to look at the same gauge before I left home. I paid an extra 8 cents a gallon!   
Title: Xbox 360 to be cut to $299
Post by: PcMan on June 30, 2008, 07:14:36 PM
Microsoft reportedly to cut price of Xbox 360 to $299

http://uk.reuters.com/article/technologyNews/idUKN3044366620080630

LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Microsoft Corp (MSFT.O: Quote, Profile, Research) plans to cut the price of its best-selling Xbox 360 Pro model by $50, to $299 in the next few weeks, the Hollywood Reporter reported citing anonymous sources.

The price cut for the Xbox 360 model with the 20 gigabyte hard drive will come before the video game industry's biggest trade show, E3, taking place in Los Angeles on July 15-17, the report said.

Rumors of the Xbox price cut swirled on popular gaming blogs Joystiq and Kotaku last week. The two sites received snapshots of Kmart and Radio Shack flyers advertising the $299 price.

A Microsoft spokeswoman declined to comment on the report.

Microsoft last cut the price of the Xbox Pro in August, from $399 to $349, prior to the release of "Halo 3" the following month.

A cut to $299 would make the Xbox 360 Pro $100 less than one of the console's major rivals, Sony Corp's (6758.T: Quote, Profile, Research) PlayStation 3 with a 40 gigabyte hard drive.

Microsoft is locked in a three-way competition with Nintendo's (7974.OS: Quote, Profile, Research) Wii and the PlayStation 3, which comes with a high-definition Blu-ray video player.

Where have you been? The enacted that on July 1. And the offenses are ridic. $20 for first offense? Should be higher I say if you wanna make an impact.

Well, if any of you are paying attention to the Tropics you would know that there is Tropical Storm Gustav down rhere heading towards Louisiana/Mississippi and the Air Force is not messing around with this storm because of Katrina. So, I might be sheltered or evacuated out of here by Sunday or Monday because of this and depending on the track and intensity of the storm. I hope it doesn't hit because if it does it will delay my school and delay me coming home and going to Germany! My mom was going to come down this weekend and she canceled the flight because of this storm which sucks but I suggested she did it because I don't want her to be stuck down here for a week in the airport. Please hope that this thing does not come this way!

I finally offloaded our camera after collecting pictures for 2 months and found this one.

This was our last full day gadv outing with the whole family before school started back up (labor day weekend).  We sent Kyle to the bathroom when we got home to pee.  After a few minutes I began wondering what happened to him and found him like this!  I know our kids sleep anywhere at any time but the way he was perfectly on the mat cracked me up :D

My last day working at Disney is Saturday =(

They laid off everyone that was hired since April (even when they were told they were going to be kept) due to budget cuts and hours needed. They told all the Cast Members today, and by the end of the night, it looked like all the CMs were zombies. The dumb part is, that Saturday is our last day! They could have told us that when they put the schedule up two weeks ago being they KNEW! Also, we are all eligible for Comp Tickets, but we have to print them off The Hub (DisneyTeam.com), and they aren't available till the 15th, and we're all being let go on the 10th. So now I'm screwed, being I'm going to Disneyland Paris in less than two weeks...

I'm just so bummed :(

I spent most of my holiday season stuffing these bears on shelves at the New York City World of Disney. And today being my last day (till I get re-hired in a few months), I bought one, so that I'll always have a piece of one of the better chapters of my life. It's really sad to leave, one of my fellow CM's said it was like summer camp ending. I'm happy I got re-hire status, but I'm still upset that they laid off ever CM they hired since April.

Hey Guys,
 Anyone know if you apply for a job (at Great Adventure) online
how long it takes to hear back?  My 15 yr old niece applied online today.
Title: Re: Anything Goes!
Post by: Steve on February 13, 2009, 07:49:33 PM
I know last year people that applied online could go to the employment center, say they filled out an online application, and they would look it up and an interview would follow shortly, but I am not sure what they are doing this year.

RJ can answer that better for you.
Title: Re: Anything Goes!
Post by: rjholla2003 on February 13, 2009, 08:36:21 PM
I believe your niece should receive a call within a day or two.  I personally recommend that she come to the Employment Center as soon as she can after filling out the app online since she'll need to come in for an interview anyway.  Also, she'll want to make sure she has two forms of ID to expedite the process.  It's nice when you don't make repeat trips.  Also, if she gets working papers from her school beforehand, that can speed it up.  I would highly recommend the job fair since every department is represented, and she can actually talk to people from the departments before choosing and interviewing.  It may delay the process a bit, but taking that time that I don't think many people do (that is if she doesn't have her heart already set somewhere) can lead to a fruitful season.

I wish her good luck!

I like re-riding flat rides. You can get right back on without having to drive home and come back another time. You can make a whole day of it. You can do that with shows, coasters, water rides and dark rides.

That had me thinking since I went on a couple trips with said Matt.  I hit 40 parks this year.   Knowing Matt, he went a coupe other places that I didn't go. I'm thinking he hit closer to 50.  KD, Adventureland, W.O.F , Hershey, Sea side  and LC come to mind.

Disneyland , DCA,  Knott's, SFMM, Keansburg, Knoebels(2X) , Dorney(2x), Quassy, SFNE, SFKK, Holiday World, KI, Camden, Waldameer,  WDW all 4 parks (2x), Sea World(2X) , Universal, Ocean City, Wildwood, SFGadv(8x) , Dollywood, Vegas, Sylvan Beach, Jeepers, Hoffman's, SFGE, Deadwood, Motor world, Funplace, Freestyle park, Family Kingdom Park, Old town, Scandia, Adventure City, BGE and Kennywood.   Im shocked I haven't been to Hershey @ all this summer.  Looks  Like I'll have to do candy land again.

Oh,  I almost forgot about Mt. Creek where I almost drowned in the 18ft cliff body slide pool.     

*edit . I know I'm going to remember something later again.  ;)

I forgot one: Fun Spot next to Old Town in Florida. ;)

Don't sweat not getting out to more parks. It doesn't make you cool or anything. I just devote most of my spending money to this hobby in lieu of other expensive hobbies like musical instruments, computers, movies, etc... But if I didn't have friends to go with, I wouldn't go to parks as much.

In other words, it's all Bubba's fault. ;)

40 minutes from Dorney, 90 minutes from Hershey, 2hrs from Knoebels, 90 minutes from SFGAdv

You know it's bad when Matt loses track of how many times he's been to a park.
Title: Re: Anything Goes!
Post by: WadeJ on October 20, 2009, 05:38:57 PM
I lost track of my gadv visits. It's at least 15 which is low for me. Too many trips to vegas, bgt, seaworld, universal and disney this year. The other parks cut into my local park time :). At least traveling full time has its perks but geez Matt, that's crazy!
Title: Re: Anything Goes!
Post by: B-mac on October 20, 2009, 06:13:31 PM
-Gadv visits: 6
visits worth bragging about: 1
-Funtown and Casino pier visits: 15+
Visits to brag about: 1
-Morey's visits: 3
Worth bragging about: 3

The main reason why I visit funtown and casino so much is because I can bike there and I get free rides!
Title: Re: Anything Goes!
Post by: AV Matt on October 20, 2009, 06:50:47 PM
A lot of my "local" park visits are in the form of just an evening out with friends for a few hours. I'm not a hard core rider all the time. Actually more times than not, I take things at a relaxed pace. Other than for the Coastin' By The Ocean event, every time I went to Wildwood this year was a Friday evening with a couple of rides at most followed by several hours of Flipper's Fascination. I look at it as an a get-together with friends and not "OMG I'm going to the amusement park. I need to ride everything 10 times!"
Title: Re: Anything Goes!
Post by: B-mac on October 20, 2009, 07:06:58 PM
I'm always like that, Unless I go to a park I've never been to before.

If it's a park I've been to before, like say BGE, Then I go group hopping and meet new people.(It's kind of pointless if you do everything by yourself, my friends call it social suicide.)

How's Goliath? That coaster intreages me... despite the fact it doesn't look the greatest.

So Riddlers lived up to the hype?
Were Scream, and Medusa/Biz completely similar?
How was ninja?
Title: Re: Anything Goes!
Post by: WadeJ on March 07, 2010, 08:40:36 PM
I'm not that big on credits so for the sake of time I skipped scream. Goliath was meh. I like Nitro a LOT more though. And you really should be able to remember your ride. The helix is brutal!

so much for not being big on credits... Just rode roller west coaster on the pier lol

You have to ride the Santa Monica West Coaster! It's just a...must. My dad made my little brother -who was coaster shy at the time- ride it with me after he said it was the "Wackest coaster he ever saw" LOL. He was not happy afterwards...because it was pleasantly lame.

how was the AUDIO on the Terminator coaster trains

As a few of us suggested (at coasten) to Will and Jack Morey to look into the terminator coaster for the train audio.

Just did the trip last week :D

I'd say 2 hours based on normal traffic.  As for Magic Mountain, unless you get lucky with crowds, I'd get a flash pass.  Even with a VERY light crowd, Terminator had a 1 1/2 hour wait.  X2 and Tatsu weren't much better so I can't imagine a "busy" day at that park but I'd simply compare it to Great Adventure on a busy Saturday in July or August :).

Magic Mountain is very hit or miss with ride wait times. Sometimes is horrible, other times lots of coasters are walk-ons while others still have a 30-60 minute wait.

I would so get Flash Passes . I did my older daughters sweet 16 at the Hard Rock Hotel in Universal Florida a few years ago with a few of her friends but this time we are going to do a family trip and my daughter is going to bring some friends along . We all really want to go to Six Flags Magic mountain and Disney in CA . I am pretty sure we will need two cars and two rooms but it will be well worth it . Doing my research now to see if this is the way we are going or if she wants to do just friends at USF and IOA like her sister . Thanks for the tip !

Hurricane is fun, if it has been kept up. It is a small family ride.

There isn't much else to do at Dania...and you could easily spend a happy hour there.  Unless you just love family entertainment centers...then you could spend two.
Title: Re: Anything Goes!
Post by: AV Matt on March 17, 2010, 12:19:17 PM
Small Family ride? When that thing is running well, it's an airtime monster and is about the size of Phoenix. Night rides in the back seat with a full train can be top-ten material. If the train is empty, Rob and I found that it loses a lot of the airtime though. So try to go when there will be plenty of people there to fill the train (if you can).

Post by: PcMan on October 25, 2010, 07:39:23 PM
Sounds pretty cool with it trying to break a world record

The 3rd Annual NJ Zombie Walk is less than 2 months away! We’re hard at work putting together an entire weekend of events for what we hope will be the largest gathering of zombies in history! That’s right, the Guinness Book of World Records has given us permission to make an attempt at breaking the current record set in Seattle, WA. That means we need every last corpse in the Tri-State area to JOIN US! The number to beat is 4,200 so we need your help spreading the infection to your family, friends, school, etc. Bring everyone you know with you to the walk and help us get into the record books!

WHAT?  New Jersey Zombie Walk and ZombieCon

WHERE?  Asbury Park Convention Hall 1300 Ocean Ave. - Asbury Park, NJ

WHEN?  Saturday, October 30th.

TIME?  Events begin at 11:00am, Walk begins at 5:00pm.

HOW?  There's no sign up or registration. Just show up and check-in.

WHO?  It's open to everyone, zombies all ages and undead pets (on leashes).

COST?  It's entirely FREE, although there will be cool zombie merch. available to purchase and a vendor’s area to shop through.

MAKEUP?  You can do it at home, use our limited free makeup on-site or get a professional makeover for a nominal donation.

GUINNESS WORLD RECORD? Help us break it! Arrive by 4:00pm to be part of the counting so we can become the ‘World’s Largest Gathering of Zombies’!

LATE?  Just join the walk where ever it may be lurching in progress.

RAIN?  We walk RAIN OR SHINE. Hail and locusts are a maybe.

Actually when you think about the concept. It won't be anything worse than riding Maelstrom at Morey's Piers. I also am thinking about a top-hat element where you do a 360 going through it too. Maybe if it isn't totally deadly I can a 540-barrel roll, too.
