Mind Eraser

That is one badass pretzel-looking thing. Suck it, SUF!!

Ted, that was a great list. For some reason, I feel good about a "Snyder Takeover". I guess I have the attitude: "How much worse can it get?"

Hypersonic is that prototype in Utah . The launch track and tower are the prototype from Logan, Utah. The pullout of the drop was raised and the rest was added on.

The part that really hit me was the water lines on the houses. What happened to all the cats?? I only saw refugees carrying dogs! I guess all the cats in New Orleans died. I love cats...

Only thing that freaks me out: when I'm riding a coaster (that I know well) and I hear weird noises (clanking, banging, squeeking etc). Usually, this has to do with maintenance, but I always think it's a wheel about to come off or something.

I have been watching my friend play DDR since way before the craze started, and I always wanted to buy one. However, I am *HORRIBLE* at gaming. My hand-eye/foot-eye coordination is a total mess. I've never been able to beat any video game, ever (well, except Rampage, but you can't not beat that game). I tried doing DDR once at my friend's place, and I damn near fell over -- I was so confused. It is a great way to get in shape, though. Me? I prefer walking out at night. I hated walking/running during the day through my old neighborhood, I felt like Rocky. People would yell "What are you training for??" or "You want some water??" It was so embarassing!

In 1992/1993, I remember collecting X-Men cards. They were all the rage then, in my school. I totally forgot to post SLAP WRAP BRACELETS! That was surely a sad day when they got banned from school.

Orange, yellow, and red? Horrible. The Fab Five should kick Tatsu's ass. Is that show even on anymore?

shesaidboom, On Joker's Jinx in '99, I used to wear a Band-Aid over my eyebrow ring just so they wouldn't see it. They finally gave up and discontinued the rule. The next year, when I was actually working on Jinx, I remember a fellow employee demanding someone take out their eyebrow ring. I stepped in and said that I know for a fact that you can wear them now. She wouldn't budge so I had to punch her in the face (just kidding, we called the manager).

Yeah, I'm with Allison. I think Ian Ziering was maybe like 26-30 years old on 90210. He has aged, but he looks gooood. Andrea was really old to be playing a highschooler! I should check imdb.com, but I don't care enough Now I miss 90210 and Melrose Place! [edit] So I checked IMDB, and Ian will be 42 in March :shock:

I think it's required that if you're a gay male on MySpace, you must post pictures of yourself without a shirt or in a thong. :shock: Oh yeah, anyone remember Friendster?

1983 called. They want their song back. Jamiroquai - Electric Mistress

Derek, back slowly towards the door...

Don't forget Galaxy Express 999 -- that one Accelerator in Tokyo at the Aqua Stadium. It has a tire launch. But's it's all sortsa weird anyhow, so maybe it shouldn't be counted as an "Accelerator Coaster".

It's funny, Robb's talking about how Disney forces you to take everything on; SFA doesn't even let you wear FANNY PACKS on the coasters (well, more specifically, SROS). I remember way back in the days of Wild World and Adventure World, we used to take our huge backpacks on Wild One. We would sit them on the floor of the car, and put our legs through the straps. It was a simple and safe measure to ensure we didn't lose our stuff and no one ever came even close to getting hurt (except for my friend who busted his lip on the lap bar! ). And for awhile, they made you take out ALL facial piercings on Joker's Jinx. Some parks, in general, need to relax just a bit.

YoshiFan said about Pound Puppies: Taken from the site: Man, I don't want no stinkin' $35 barking dog. That sucks! -kip-

They brought back Pound Puppies? So awesome! You totally made my week. Another: how about Popples?!

Pound Puppies!

Six Flags America, 2000-2001 * Mind Eraser (of course! ) * Superman * Joker's Jinx * Great Chase (kiddie coaster) * Roar * Tower of Doom * Renegade Rapids * various flat rides (Breakdance, Chaos, etc) (Never got to work on Wild One ) I also worked in Marketing doing surveys and such for awhile.

I am distantly related to some country singer named Clay Walker. I don't like country music, so I don't know if he's popular or what. He's a cousin of mine somewhere along the line. And I'm supposedly related to a couple other "controversial" famous people, but that's all I'm gonna say about that.

I'm gonna play the lottery. Let's see if these numbers come up in the Tatsu press release: 210 171 150 I'm most likely wrong, but it's fun guessing! -kip-

Dude, they are SO backstage at a concert -- meaning, THEY ACTUALLY LEFT THE HOUSE LIKE THAT! God bless big black women. -kip-

My personal Top 3 Most Hated Male Celebrities are: *Ben Stiller *Jack Black *Jim Carrey Just thought you should know. -kip-
