Oh, CanobieFan and I were spited together by the mouse at Gulliver's Warrington. Welding equipment laying around the track doesn't bode well that it opened later that day. :) I did forget that I was spited by most of SFoT on my first trip there. It rained and they basically just decided to...

I've been spited so many times at Cedar Point... Took three trips to get Maverick, three to get Dragster and two to get Millenium. Definitely contributes massively to my distaste for the park. And, continuing the Intaminitis trend, I've also been spited twice by Atlantis Adventure at Lotte...

Re: B&M Family Inverted Coaster for Happy Valley Shanghai Pretty compelling... So, now that this rumored ride is completely assembled, is it too late to move it to the construction board? ;)

Re: B&M Family Inverted Coaster for Happy Valley Shanghai ^That's pretty much what I was thinking/hinting, too. I don't know it for sure, but it sure seems that way, no?

Re: B&M Family Inverted Coaster for Happy Valley Shanghai I'm going to throw this out there, and hope I'm wrong. Vekoma has a fabrication plant in China now, so unless B&M does now too, the cost difference is even bigger than we'd suspect... That said, it seems that Chinese ride...

All of Freestyle Music Park ;)

I'd recommend this new live double-album from Death Cab For Cutie, but I'm sure that all 4000 copies were already sold today. <3

Re: Magic Kingdom | 7 Dwarfs Mine Train Coaster | Vekoma/Dis ...and rumor from a cast member has it that the swinging is already locked.

I saw that picture this morning, but hadn't registered the line of sight all the way through the train... That's an incredible difference!

Re: Magic Kingdom | 7 Dwarfs Mine Train Coaster | Vekoma/Dis I think Mr. Potato Head was the first use of this projection technology... or maybe that one was the interactive element... I forget.

Yeah, I went to USJ expecting absolutely NOTHING from Space Fantasy and was absolutely blown away with what a good presentation the whole ride has, not to mention that it's lots of fun. As more people ride it, I wouldn't be surprised to see it move up into the top 20-25.

Yeah, unless you have a friend/boyfriend/girlfriend in middle management, you aren't moving upwards at all.

Yup. Those are two of about a dozen things that you sign on the very first day of training. She can be fired, the question is if this was a planted PR stunt in the hopes that it would go viral / drum up interest.

Surprised they spread the locations out so far. That's quite a bit of walking in relative dark to get from one spot to another.

Yep. Pretty much.

Magnetic trims would be silent... I'm just sayin'.

Yeah, that's a generalization. When it comes to guests, there's good experiences and bad. Good: Seeing some little kid's eyes light up as they ride something for the first time, and love it. Bad: Watching in horror as a girl, by direction of her parent, drops trou and pisses on the asphalt...

We always said that it would be the best job ever, if it wasn't for the guests. :)

Are we watching the same video? :|

Basically, as I understand it (from working at two parks, I'm no lawyer), since park staff isn't the individual's doctor, they cannot address medical issues with a guest unless there is an immediate reason that would be unsafe for the guest or others. This translates into operating procedures as...
