Without even asking, I would almost guarantee that is on FreeBSD. The boards move along pretty quick and the PHP engine for Windows sucks. // Still thinks it some sort of ASCII vs Binary thingy -

Ah. Zamperla goodness. Glad to hear that you got to ride the infamous TR:The Ride. In my best Creskin voice - "I foresee this line being in many PKI/PCW trip reports this year." -

Queue-jumping for dollars
CoasterFanatic replied to shepp's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
But would the lines had all been 1hr long if they didn't have QBot? While I think the FastPass systems is not so evil, I also feel that any time I go to a park and spend (insert dollar amount here), I should not have my visit tarnished by the people who spend more money. There is only one thing that can make this customer happy and that is ... more capacity. Six Flags is covering up their operational shortcomings by saying, "But, if you spend more money, you can skip the lines". To me this is BS, and a diversion from what the real problems are. I would love to see what people would have to say about Cedar Point if they cut their coasters down to one-train operation and offered a "line-skipping" program. -
I don't think so. We just cut up our girlfriend with a chainsaw. Does that sound FINE. Next: Godfather // Ash is the shiznit!

CoasterFanatic replied to BarryH's topic in Photo Trip Report Archive
Very interesting. The place looks well landscaped and that JC dude has a kickin beard. When you really think about it, $25 is much cheaper than that 10% Salary thing that most churches charge. // It can't be any worse that Splendid China's Communist Propaghanda -
How much do you make at your job?
CoasterFanatic replied to Crazy4Coasters!'s topic in Random, Random, Random
I make enough to own a car, house, and travel to parks in rediculous locations. // That's enough for me. 13 years ago I was washing greasy pans at a bakery for minimum wage. -

Have you heard of it?
CoasterFanatic replied to pgathriller's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Some sites list it (although not updated in 4 years ) http://www.coasterfanatics.com/sec_coasters/coaster_parkdetail.asp?id=220 -

While a lot of people defend Virtual Queueing, it works to frustrate people even more than the lines do. Especially where the "more you pay" thing is available. I wrote a little piece close to 5 years ago and it still holds (sorta) true today: http://www.coasterfanatics.com/sec_features/feature_virtualqueing.asp
