    I can always be found at the Shrimp Shack drinking frozen margaritas. :eek:

    Kings Dominion | Twisted Timbers | RMC I-Box (Hurler Conversion)

    Let's do a meet up next year when it opens. I might sneak off in the bathroom for a shot of whiskey, but that's the extent of my debauchery, lol.

    Kings Dominion | Twisted Timbers | RMC I-Box (Hurler Conversion)

    I think that means an opening date of June of 2018. Opening sooner than we thought. Reverse the numbers. Edit: Nevermind, it was scheduled to open in 2018 anyway. Don't know what I was thinking.

    What I really want to know is, who's the one with such superb font with a piece of chalk?

    I'm with you on this @Sythe KD is my home park, but this is gonna be a slow project. I haven't been to any amusement park since 2011. I rarely visit them. It will be a nice addition and I look forward to riding my 1st RMC coaster. Intimidator is definitely the best coaster I've ridden. Last...

    Scary Moments with Restraints?

    Wow, what a coincidence. My only restraint scare was, in fact, on the Rebel Yell. This was sometime in the 90's. I was on the south train and my restraint unlocked on the little curve before the lift hill. I started hollering and then heard it lock again. Maybe it was just the ride operator...

    "Injured" during a ride ?

    I was sore for a couple of days after riding Rebel Yell at Kings Dominion back in '09. I've ridden it a thousand times before with no problems. I must be getting old because that thing beat the hell out of me, lol.

    What was your first coaster to feature an inversion?

    I think it was Corkscrew at Myrtle Beach Pavilion but I can't be sure. It was either that or Mindbender at SFoG. I went to both around the same year. Pretty sure it was Corkscrew.

    Impact of enthusiasts on the industry?

    I think to a certain extent they definitely research what's trending with enthusiasts but they also have to juggle with what children want, as that is the bread and butter demographic of the parks.

    Do you wanna know what really grinds my gears?

    People complaining at me when I'm smoking in the designated smoking area. Also, line breakers are the worst. It won't happen around me. If someone wants to catch up with their group, fine, no problem, but people just cutting the corners or taking up a gap that hasn't moved forward yet will...

    The TV we watch...

    Yep, I liked it a lot. Winona was awesome. She is one hot milf. Yes, I'm old, lol! Just finished Deadwood. What an awesome show, albeit unfinished. Ian McShane, Brad Dourif, and Robin Weigert were amazing. The Calamity Jane role was Oscar worthy. I can't believe it got cancelled...

    Accident At Dreamworld Australia!

    Re: ACCIDENT At Dreamworld Australia! This isn't the first time these type of rides have done this. I forget where, but it has happened before. I believe it happened at BGW. Can't exactly remember if it resulted in a fatality, but I believe it did. That's been a long time ago. I remember...

    Arcades and such

    Who doesn't love an arcade? I grew up in the golden era. Playing the original Dragon's Lair at Showbiz and Hill's shopping center. 50cent per play. Also, games like StarCastle, Pac-Man, Elevator Action, Food Fight, Time Pilot, Crystal Castles, Super Off Road, Mortal Kombat etc. These games...
