Thunder Road, about 3 weeks ago >.

For me, definately El Toro in the back row ! Griffon is alot of fun in the front row, especially the first time because your just staring strait down, and maverick, because its 95 degrees, millenium force is ok, and a couple of years ago would have been on this list because when you ride it for the first time I was thinking," ok this is steep, ok now its getting really steep, holy ..... this is getting steep! ect." mind you that was my first roller coaster of that size or bigger.

If im up ill join the chat, i want to see WWIII break out over how much certain parts of the ride suck/ are great/ awesome ect.... This should be pretty funny If it is anything like this topic is.

I think I failed my History Quiz!

I just saved a bunch of money on my car insurance by switching to geicko! No but really, im going to the SC state game saturday

yay! its my two cats, kobuck and Sitka! kobuck on a present! Sitka at X-mas time. Kobuck, being is fat lazy self is crushing Sitka.

/begin rant I work at Carowinds for merchandise during the summer, just recently got promoted. However about a month ago, me being a manager i got yelled at by my boss. But it wasnt just being yelled at: She had told me and another manager at the same level as me the break plan for the two of us to get each others breaks run, just before i left to go on break one of her associates wasnt feeling good and we had to send him home, which isnt a big problem usually. Today however he was very important in running our associates breaks having registers at multiple locations, so with him leaving we had to make another register STAT but we did not have the change to make it ( quarters, nickles, and dimes) so I had to run to the bank to get more change before going on break because timing can and that day needed to be very precise, After getting back from the bank my manager yelled at me for not going on break yet. So i quickly leave for break, once i get back from break she literally started to scream at me for conflicting things such as... Counting the till, which is a bag that we keep our money in locked in a safe, between breaks we are supposed to count it to make sure it adds up to what it is supposed to be. Not going on break early enough. Not being prepared ahead of time to have the change i needed, even though we werent expecting to have the other managers associate leave, and even though my boss told us to send him home. Having to make a break plan on short notice, which wasnt our fault agian... had the associate not left our breaks would have run perfectly And she yelled at me for how late some of the associates breaks were, agian because of the new break plan. There might have been more that she yelled at me, but i definately didnt hear it because she was literally yelling at me about multiple things all at once. After that she didnt even hear my side of the story, and she took over my job for the day and placed me at a location like an associate for the remainder of the day. /end rant.

I like what everyone is saying on this topic, honestly i dont like what i see at my school and around me. For example: at my school everyone is either strait, or gay and mistreated, not directly but in an indirect, discreet way if you will. While my school does have a gay rights club, i forget the actuall name, basically anyone that joins, gay or strait instantly becomes bait for everyone else. At least to me, this is just wrong! I think that it does not matter whether you are gay or not, it is your life and you should enjoy it the way you want to. For me i always think, so what? hes gay, does that make him different than me? should i not hang out with him just because hes gay?of course not! were all humans arent we? and its kinda like black segregation, were doing it yet its completely wrong!

o.o wait! i thought he would have self combusted after sitting next to someone like that! holy sh..... ^ shes japanese she can do anything! you have to remember that

wow the logo looks pretty sweet. Same goes for the name, just as long as religious people dont get angry at the name like another incident at another park....

^ o.o Gasp! lol im just kidding with ya I'm probably the person most likely to try and build a house in the center of a flyer somewhere

HAHA! that would be a major dissapointment! lol Either way im not going to be able to make it up there next year >.< so w/e it is it doesnt make a big difference to me, however i hope for the best for anyone that will get a chance to ride it opening season.

ohh, i never knew about a blog..... Thanks

what? who is louise? where did she come from? I think i missed something....

no, Do you think pufferfish is making a big deal out of log flumes as credits?

^ youre becoming a jeff johnson! my book for u.s. history is soooo freakin boring! i mean in 1 hour 30 minutes i fell asleep at least 3 times, almost hit my head on my desk too

Least likely to take a shower? Dan.... & Most likely to die of dehydration? Dan.... DUH!

The more i think about it the less I am convinced that the video is real, I mean there is no way its going to be that big, i dont think the park is big enough for something of that size.

Regarding the picture: I think this might be where the 2 dont fit, comes into play. cause Wes's piece really doesnt fit with it being upside down, it almost seems like it came from a different image. Maybe later Nantimi will email ( correction) pictures to replace those spots, or they could just be left blank in the end result. Regarding the video: I dont think that is quite what HP would be getting, they do have storm runner you know! it might however be something to try and throw us off guard, or make us think it would look like that. But in all honesty i dont know what to think of something made in NL, cause anyone has access to NL.

^^ Maybe it is supposed to be like that... And the four pictures rotate their own ways to make a whole image, if you get what im saying...

Wow.... this is all quite interesting to see happen. With the scrambled picture, it looks as though they were all made with NL to me. So I'm thinking that they have made renderings of the ride for promotions/ commercials already.

not last time I was at carowinds (sunday) I can give an update on anything visually after work this saturday however. and about them posting the closure dates before C3, thats because they know who they're dealing with when it comes to C3

I kinda forgot to mention my job experience i have worked in merchandise for paramount and cedarfair, and while i do have to say cedar fair is alot more secure about money ( less theft) the new system is so much worse than what we used to have under paramount. Im not going to go into details but paramount's system was much faster, easier, less confusing, and cedar fair still could have added their rules to stop theft.

I talked to the head manager of rides on sunday, He claims at least that maintenance was doing checks of the rides and apparently found a problem with the footer.... something?I'm guessing that this is preventative maintenance, but i could be wrong. Ohh wait! It must've been C3 with ERT on top gun all that excess weight from all of the ACE'rs mustve caused a problem with that footer

HA...HA... very funny, My school isnt ridden with Gangs actually, just Emos, gay's, fags, goths, and preps.... did i miss anything?
