GP: "They put a motor at the top of Kingda Ka so it doesn't fall back down anymore."
Me: ***pulls out iPhone and goes on TPR...***
LOL they should make a show out of this thread "the GP say the darndest things."
Well, techinally they did put somthing at the top of Kingda Ka's tower so it doesn't stall, or rollback whatever. So he is both techinally right and wrong.

A really funny Pokemon video me and a bunch of friends did for our Sophmore Communication skills class. Watch this, and you'll laugh!
Note: I'm the one filming, and snorlax in the end.

This thread is definitive proof that not everybody has a functioning sarcasm and/or wit detector.

^But she isn't
Then YOU my friend, have terrible judgment. Sorry.
Well what about Joe Jonas? He's good looking. I have three Jonas Brothers posters in my room and I got them because he's in 'em. Everyone knows Joe Jonas is hot.*
*Don't ever say he is hot. He is mine, so BACK OFF.
All yours, I don't go that way, sorry.
Now, back on topic we go.

^^Well I sometimes play metal but I play all styles really. I'm more into hard rock and skate punk. Would it work for those types of music?
It really could work for anything, just saying what it sounds best for in my opinion. Its just pretty loud, so if thats what your going for, then yeah it'll be nice.
Anyway, heres a shot of my kit about 6 months ago. It really has changed alot, I'll post a new shot when I have the time. I've been playing drums for around 6 and a half years. I'm enjoy playing: R&B, Jazz, Rock, and a little bit of Metal. Not really my thing though.
My hardware at the time:
10" Sabian B8 Splash
14" Sabian HH hats
16" Sabian AA Thin Crash
18" Paiste Pst Medium Crash
18" Sabian B8 Pro China
20" Sabian B8 Ride
Pearl Export EXL set
6x13 Pearl Snare (recently upgraded to OCDP 7x13 X-Series)
8", 10", 12", 14" rack toms. Evan EC2s coated and clear with dampeners.
22" bass drum, DW 700 series double bass pedal.

THE WI-FI WORKS! WOOOO! But seriously... who brings a laptop to the park?
He may be from another dimension, and hes blogging updates to his alien friends oh his current steps to total park domination.
Otherwise, no one.

Time to revive an old thread.
So I'm looking for a really deep snare for a relatively good price. What I got was the Vinnie Paul sig snare. Can anyone describe how this snare sounds?
Do you enjoy playing metal? If you do, go for it. Its a real loud, and almost deep sound, can cut through the loudest of guitars if you are in a band. Not my kind of snare, so I honestly wouldn't suggest buying one. I recently picked up an OCPD X - series 7x13 snare. You cannot go wrong with this snare - its loud, really unique, deep and rich sound.
Also - what head do you plan on using?

^ Have you seen me lately? Not enough cheese is definitely not my problem!
/Not so sure I can make it onto Wicked Twister anymore.

I had a test with a story about Universal Studios Japan's Jurassic Park ride and someone said that the story talked about the biggest coaster in the world.
Also, theres a bunch of people on youtube who seem too hate BGE because they like KD more. I mean, yes KD is better, but I don't despise BGE just because its a park nearby.
-Matthew K.
I respect the fact that everyone is entitled to their own opinion but, saying that KD is better than BGE is like saying Megan Fox isn't good looking.

^ It was lightly raining, and there was absolutely no threat of a thunder storm.
It was pouring since early in the morning today. You honestly should of been aware of the rain today before making a 3 1/2 hour trip out there. Sure, I would be incredibly angry too, but like Robb said, you have to take some of the blame on yourself.
-
You can take a chunk of my a$$ anyday Robb.
...
I'm only joking you can have the whole thing I don't want it, it's to big anyways.

They let your friend ride Road Runner Rally like that? I tried doing that yesterday on the Great Chase at Six Flags America but wasn't allowed. I had to squeeze my knees under the lap bar on one side. However, because I was sitting like that the lap bar could not go down enough to latch, resulting in a missed credit. It was very disappointing.
Yeah, I coudln't of ridden the normal way, my knees would not fit under. I'm too tall. But I'm guessing since it was opening day and there were new ops so they probably did not know what they were doing.
-
I saw you there saturday I was waiting behind you in line waiting for el toro.
Yes, I think I saw you. You guys were the ones talking about not going to West Coast Bash correct?
-
Awesome TR! I said hi to you I think while walking out of the Golden Kingdom to go ride GASM. To bad Nitro valleyed. I had a feeling Kindga Ka wasn't going to open & wasn't surprised. I'm hopefully going back on Friday so Nitro & Kingda Ka better be open.
Yeah, I remember you said Hi to us when we were walking in the Golden Kingdom. And I'll probably be there Friday, I'm pretty sure they'll be done with Nitro by then.

Riding the log flume in 50 degree wether was a terrible idea on our part. I was so soaked for an hour, and my legs were tingling from the cold!
The picture of the tiger sleeping made me laugh. Good shot and great pictures. I had a great day.

Medu....err, "Bizarro" (Bizusa? Maybe Medarro??) is the best floorless coaster I've ridden to date, and some new "bells and whistles" won't change that. I give Six Flags credit for trying to revitalize the coaster, but the whole Bizarro theme is a puzzling choice, to me anyway. The paint job looks nice enough at least. It just seems like a cheap way to introduce a "new" attraction without actually putting in one. If I had my choice, they should've used the money from this and started putting in/replacing some flat rides. Their flat selection is honestly disgraceful.
I can agree with you in where the park does have a terrible selection of flats, but wouldn't you rather be riding Nitro or Toro than a flat?
Anyways, it looks great with the new paint. Much better than that rusty yellow and purple. It was a really fun ride, and this would probably just make it 5 times more fun, and also the waits 5 time as longer. Coooool......

Nice pics Josh... I wish I could have been there! Hows Toro this year?
It was running pretty slow yesterday, due to the high winds but it was still great. I got on it first train of 09' in the backrow!
Great photos Josh, even though some of the coasters were closed in the morning, it was still an awesome day.

NOSTRIL SHOT!

No doubt Millennium Force, but Nitro in the back is pretty good.
-
Sky's The Limit - Biggie.
Possibly my favorite song ever.
-
Lethal Injection by Ice Cube may be my favorite rap album ever. Every track on it is solid. Although, The Don Killuminati and Life After Death come pretty close. R.I.P. Pac and Biggie.
The Chronic is also one of my favorites, g-funk is sick. I wish more rappers could tried to pull off g-funk just as good as Dre did. Like Afro Puffs - Lady of Rage...but I think Dre produced that...so it doesn't really count.

Theres a set of magnetic-brake fins on the top of it's tower to prevent it from stalling. Thats what I meant.
Anyway, lets go back to the land of being back on topic-ness.
