Golden Ticket Awards 2009
DenDen replied to speedracer's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Whether I agree or not with the awards, I do feel that some of these categories are flawed, and we're missing a few categories as well. Example Flaw: Best Amusement park is CP, but not the best seaside park? MISSING: Being these are industry awards, you'd think they'd have things like "Best safety record", "best public relations", "Best community interaction", etc... And for the most part, every award was expected here. Almost a carbon copy of last year. Maybe the organization needs to follow TPR! And lastly, when will someone come out with the WORST awards. -
ADHD and Front of the Line Privileges

The article itself says it best... It's NOT a disability. They've totally gone overboard on this. -

The Rumor / Crazy Idea Superthread
DenDen replied to Wes's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
OK, let me post a rumor. Kennywood's announcement during KennyKon will be a Maurer Söhne. -
I certainly don't see a park like this succeeding in Vegas though. This place reminds me of MGM Grand Adventures, just on a larger scale. (After an hour, you're bored, and it's only worthy of one visit because you feel ripped off!) And Las Vegas summers are brutal. But totally agree with Robb here, when I lived in Vegas, there was ALWAYS something to do. Red Rock Canyon was AWESOME, Mt Charlston to go skiing, every show imaginable, some of the world's largest bowling alleys (open 24-7!). But heck, I won't lie, I gambled and drank all the time!

Wow, you guys are getting tons of awesome press during this trip. Was it planned, or coincidence? Just curious, cause there may be a follow-up question.

LMAO!!!! I dunno what's funnier, KidTums with a gun, or Lou and her veins! OMG!!!

When they did the rolling stock restoration back in 2000 (I think) they had them, and they only lasted a season or 2, the wear and tear was just too great. But this was before the advent of cheap LEDs and Li-Io batteries. I'd like to see them try it again.

And that's why the current POV footage supplied by SF really is crappy! -

Looking for windows web host recommendations
DenDen replied to monsterfan99's topic in Random, Random, Random
I use Bluehost, and have been with them for about 3 years now, I'm completely happy, it really is unlimited badwidth and storage. (I run a video site!) But I'm a Unix guy, and not a fan of IIS, so I am not sure if they're any good for that. -
No, I feel old! I had the original Duke Nukem sidescroller shareware from Apogee when I was around 20. Back when video games were fun.

I totally hate to admit it, But I LOVE Justin, and he's one of the few that will get me to watch SNL. He's got such a naturally funny personality. And I like his music. LOL

Are you prone to experimenting with your PC?
DenDen replied to generaleclectic's topic in Random, Random, Random
Win7 sounds cool, I'll have to start reading up on that. As for UAC, Running Avast and Windows Defender covers you. I go to some pretty seedy sites, and it always has caught everything. But then again, I've been at this since I was 12. GOD I AM GETTING OLD! -
OMG, I'm crying! I'm Laughing! I'm Crying again! It was better than Cats, I'd see it again and again! Totally on the mark, great job guys!!!! I'm crying again! LMAO!!!!!!! P.S. Am I the only one that HATES Flash-based video?

DenDen replied to generaleclectic's topic in Random, Random, Random
What most people don't know is that you can actually turn those annoying security message off. It was probably the first thing I did when I got my First Vista PC after the first week. Vista also has the thum previews in the task bar. See pic. I'm getting ready to have a new one built, and your mentioning of Windows 7 just changed everything. previews of windows on task bar -
Holiday World (HW) Discussion Thread
DenDen replied to robbalvey's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Wow, that is the most insane water ride I've ever seen. The drop seems like it goes on forever, and I'm really impressed with how fast the elevator accepts and releases the boats. (Rides with elevators tend to have a much londer wait time for accept/release of vehicles.) Congrats Holiday World!!!
