BGE Pretzel Coaster Contest
coasterdude28 replied to bigbadwolf501's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
So have any of you heard anything yet or have you asked for a list of winners? I would really like to see the winning coasters but I am still holding out hope that they are just running behind schedule and I will get that call soon. -

Very nice trip report. Looks like you had a pretty good time aside from the great accommodations. -
BGE Pretzel Coaster Contest
coasterdude28 replied to bigbadwolf501's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Nice video. On the Official rules page it says that the judging will take place between June 16th and June 20th and then it goes on to say that the winners will be notified on June 18th...so I'm not sure when the winners will hear from them. Also, for those who do win and go to BGE, they have 3 hours to build a replica of Apollos Chariot. That is going to be very difficult, especially if they only let one person work on it instead of two. Should be interesting. -

Nice entries everyone! ^The video is not working for me. I have not yet heard if we won, but it was entered under my friends name and email, so he will be the first to hear if we do win. Hopefully all four of us will end up at BGE next month for the finals. -

Did anybody else here enter this. Winners should be notified soon. My friend and I decided to give it a go. It was a lot of fun but frustrating at times. Best of luck to those who did enter. Here's our coaster: Notice that part of the layout actually looks like a pretzel...pretty cool..right? -

Weirdest Things The 'GP' Have Said
coasterdude28 replied to maliboomer's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Yesterday I was at SFGadv. I rode Nitro and sat next to two teenage girls. While sitting on the brake run after the ride, one girl pointed over at Batman: The Ride and said "I don't even remember going upside down." -
Mine is a picture I took of the now defunct Batman and Robin: The Chiller in it's last season.

Weirdest Things The 'GP' Have Said

Do you mean cerebral palsy? I heard people talking up at SFNE last week and the one kid was saying that when the park flooded they made Superman: ROS into a water ride and had it running. -
TPR Members Working At Parks
coasterdude28 replied to BrownStreak's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
I will most likely apply to work at Clementon Park this summer. I do not know if I will end up working there, but it would be fun. -
I thought the same thing about it making a cool coaster. Krouvi - I did A LOT of biking in Israel a few month ago. absolutely amazing. The Negev is an incredible place to go take a ride. Golan ofcourse provides some great biking. I also rode through Tel Aviv. Beautiful place.

Mammoth is AMAZING. Biked there once. The skiing is incredible though. Anybody else here unicycle?
-
That is a very cool video. I love any kind of biking, but downhill is a lot of fun. This one is a lot cooler though. Mountain Unicycling. What this guy does is incredible. Trust me, it is hard enough just to ride a uncycle, let laone do what he does. The leg strength it takes is amazing.

NCAA Yahoo tourney Pick Um League

That was a great game last night! I had memphis winning it all in my league that for money, so I was freaking out when Kansas hit the three at the end of regulation. Ohwell. Congrats to space12. -
Camera Help. Nikon people might be able to help me
coasterdude28 replied to spaceace12's topic in Random, Random, Random
Sounds strange. I would contact Nikon Support. I'm sure you can find a number or email address on their website. Also check your manual if you still have it. It may say what to do in this situation. to be safe, I would transfer all of your images from your memory card to computer before you loose them. Maybe clearing out your memory card would help as well. Good luck. -
Do you ski or snowboard?
coasterdude28 replied to Yankee cannonball's topic in Random, Random, Random
I'm a skiier. The rest of my family are boarders. My dad is a snowboard instructor, so I have been skiing almost every week during the winter for the past couple of years. I love it. I mostly enjoy downhill challenges over park skiing. I would take a gladed double diamond over a park anyday. I love a challange. My dad and brother are driving up to Mont Tremblant in Canada right now for a few days. Unfortunately, I had to pass on going due to class. Best mountain I've been to: Mammoth, California. Honorable Mentions: Whiteface, NY Gore, NY Killington, VT -
Here is a video that my odler brother and his friends made. It is reminiscent of the old vaudeville shorts, and is actually quite funny. The NY Times actually reviewed it. Here is their quote: "Is it possible for someone to be so lame that they can't even dance? This loveable vaudville throw-back reminds us that even the darkest tunnels have a spec of light. In a delightful array of poetic images, it playfully, yet eloquently reveals an age-old truth: Anyone Can Dance." - New York Times Let me know what you think about it, and feel free to rate it on youtube! Thanks. It is entitled "Anyone Can dance"
