GMAN962

Who? - Designers - Construction Crew - Cedar Fair Executives - Employees - People they get to fill the trains for commercial shoots There may be some sort of "mystique" that the ride has never been touched before it officially opens, but that's rarely (almost never) true. They aren't going to open a major ride to the public without extensive riding with humans. Isn't Cedar Fair also auctioningoff inaugural rides? Or will they be on opening day? -Mike

For me, pointbuzz has the "can only be viewed from pointbuzz.com" thing. It's been like that every time I view it, even from point buzz. Does anybody know how to prevent or fix this? Thanks! -Mike

"CATCH CAR MADNESS...IN....SPAIN!!!!"

Pretty sure it was Viper at SFMM...I think that's when I exploded in a few places inside from being beaten up!

^All I've got to say is: THANK GOD! Geeze...those trains are more of a problem than the lift! -Mike

Geeze, I hope this doesn't get locked. Anyway, I was just browsing the net, and I saw an article on how to make brass guitar picks from an old drum cymbal. I'm thinking about making some for some of my friends who play the guitar. Maybe for the holidays, or a birthday. If you do have one, do you like it? I also hear it wears your strings really fast, is there any truth to that? I want to know if they would be worth it before I decide to buy a used cymbal, and make one. Thanks! -Mike

Say's the person who's got a maverick logo as an avatar without any © asked from the park. I mean who cares that it's illegal ? We finally got something to see and then you start complaining ? I'm happy with it to see something more then a view from a funcam. I was hoping on a good view these day's of how its running trough the course but CP still did not give us something more.... So if anyone is going over there to makes some views then its fine by me. Thx for the vid Ok, as he said, first of all, the avatar was released by the park. Second of all, he is WORKING at Cedar Point, this season. As for the people who care if it's illegal? 1. Cedar Fair. 2. TPR. 3. The govenment. (I mean, they set the laws, and that video is breaking the law) 4. Me 5. Probably a whole lot of other people/websites! Seriously, you get banned for posting things about breaking park rules. It does matter. -Mike

Agreed. Take the money, and get educated. Walt Disney would want you to. (Ok, MAYBE not...) Anyway, education is more important than working for Disney. You can work at Disney later. -Mike

^1-866-445-6580.

^I know. I mean "I hope it's temporary." Like I said. -Mike

Darn it! I hope it's temporary (as in, it won't be down for months and months, again.) I mean seriously. Just get the new trains! I hope S&S gets those trains to SFMM ASAP. ...X IS getting new trains, right? I remember it being confirmed or something. -Mike

I took this picture myself, then cropped it to fit my screen, since I took it in wide screen, but don't have a wide screen monitor. EDIT: 600th post! Woot woot! yay

Well...I don't see their music as very protest-y, but all of their marketing, ads, viral sites, etc. seem very protest-y. Kind of saying something like "The government is trying to keep you from knowing the truth, and brainwashing you." But yeah, I guess you can say that, except for a few things. Green Day was aiming more towards the media, and people, and NIN is more attacking the government. Green day wasn't as direct. -Mike

As some of you may know...Nine Inch Nails had just released their new CD today. I'm listening to it right now. It has a very good/catchy feel to it... However, they've become a very protesty band. So far, I love this CD. It's actually really weird. They've had very viral marketing. On the back of the CD, it says something involving a made up organization (as far as I know) "The US Bureau of Morality". It has a warning on the back of the CD that's made up involving it. It says: "USBM WARNING: Consuming or spreading this material may be deemed subversive by the Unites States Bureau Of Morality. If you or someone you know has engaged in subversive acts or thoughts, call: 1-866-445-6580 BE A PATRIOT - BE AN INFORMER!" They also had a different phone number where they had another viral recording. I called the number on the back of the CD, and it gave me a recording...I'll let you guys hear what it is for yourselves, if you're going to call it! I personally think that NIN did a GREAT job on viral marketing, art, and music, although it IS a bit protestey for me. Oh well! Anyway, If you like industrial/rock music, this'd probably be a good choice for you. Enjoy! Thanks for reading! -Mike

It's popular, because of two things: 1. It's photoshopped exceptionally well. 2. It's Indiana Jones. Yeti ball is the boulder from the scene where he's running from the boulder. Just so ya know! -Mike

^Yeah, that's why I said: -Mike

Hmm...well, they shouldn't remove the track every day, if that's what they are going to do... I mean, seriously, if you keep moving the same track peice over, and over, it can't be good for the ride. Actually, it could be potentially dangerous. As for me...I've never been to DCA, even though I'm like 20 miles from it. I doubt I'll be going soon, anyway, so it doesn't really affect me... So yeah...I can't wait for my first DCA trip, when I finally get to go. -Mike

Well, as mine IS doing very well, I am pleased. However, I'm not going to gloat, etc. ....I'm going to say that may the best man win. These ARE all good, and I enjoyed this contest. Thanks! -Mike

Hmmm...I think they're just changing to fit into the "You are here", bright colorful, clean feel. Making it seem like a more clean, polished park. ...they've got a long way to go. -Mike

I think I saw that on Digg, or Engadget a few weeks ago! It's hilarious. -Mike

I've tried, but it confuses me...I don't see anything. I guess you have to stare, and not try to see it. Oh well! -Mike

^Yeah, thanks! Anyway, I was looking at the webcams yesterday. At the pondcam, or whatever (The only one that's up, unless they put the other(s) back). I noticed a crane going into the tunnel. I'm not going to jump to conclusions or anything, but could it have something to do with it not being able to launch correctly? If it had something to do with testing that is. Since then, the crane is gone. So I don't know what to make of that. ...either that, or they're putting up theming in there, which I doubt. -Mike

Great TR! It was very like Jahan's. You make it almost like you can imagine being there. Where it flows like a story. Each picture kind of has it's own story. Glad you seemed to have fun! -Mike

^Then why isn't this in the SFA thread?

Uhm...what?
