i love anything with betty white! -
So I was just cruising some old pictures on my computer and came across some pictures for the Moreys Piers fire from 2008. The fire happened at night after closing on 6/16/2008. A good chunk of the piers was damaged due to the fact the Wildwood fire department couldn't get their trucks on the beach. Luckily no coasters were harmed from the fire. On the right is the employee bathroom and on the left is the bumper cars. Here is the burnt bumper cars building. The brand new forklift got melting pretty bad. Looks like the steering wheel is made of chocolate. There is a view of the bathroom again and the Moreys piers offices. The fire got really close to the hazardous material storage area. This fence went up faster then the fire did. New and improved bumper cars now with a cliff. The guess your weight station was pretty hot that year... The little zamperla seal flume was making in throughout the fire ok until a fireman realized it was full of water. Yep. Destruction from a distance. partially removed ride. The bumper cars... Uhhh... i mean a beautiful view of the ocean. This guy did all the work. Hes some sort of superman. My last ride

Green lantern (SFGadv) is a silly name, which reminds me of Chang. (Also a silly name) -
I Love To Stand on Log Flumes! (video)
bigbill245 replied to MrMorgan's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
People like this really piss me off, in the end they end up ruining the fun for all of us. Here's another example of people being idiots, im not sure if yall remember the accident at moreys piers this year when a girl fell of the ferris wheel. Moreys enacted a new rule that there will be no more single riders on the wheel, i guess to stop people from standing up. well I went down and rode the wheel about a month or so after the accident and the rule change and as we were at the top waiting for riders to load 2 girls in their 20s where standing up in the gondola and hanging over the side looking down. -
Canada's Wonderland Discussion Thread

The far left hill has no chain return after the drop. Assuming its the lift hill maybe it will be a launched lift hill to a massive airtime first drop. -

Weirdest Things The 'GP' Have Said
bigbill245 replied to maliboomer's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Well last week I was at work and my supervisor told me that he went to lake compound up in Connecticut the week before and rode the oldest coaster. I knew he meant Lake Compounce but what shocked me is that he was calling boulder dash the oldest coaster when the wildcat in the same park was built more then 70 years before it. -
What Rides Scares the Crud Out Of You?
bigbill245 replied to EuroTre's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
I get little concerned when i see a wooden coaster swaying at least a foot when a train rides thru, or when you can feel a wooden coaster train flex while riding. It has been some time when i have had the crud scared outta me. -

This happened a few days ago at knoebels. My girlfriend and i decided to spend the day at knoebels which happened to be the day before the east coast bash. Unknowingly the TPR trip "road to cedar point" happened to be there. I only realized they were there after I arrived at the park. Now for me i see the TPR regulars kind of like celebrities and throughout the day i happened to be pointing out to my girlfriend who they were, but i feel like i made a mistake. My girlfriend happens to be a fan of the piers videos (she loves British accents). Well we happened to be walking through Knoebles and we saw piers. Out loud i said "hey is piers" so i could bring it to my girlfriend attention. The problem is he happened to be no more then 3 feet away from me, and he heard me. Piers turned around and said hello, as he was saying hello he realized he didn't know me and gave me a strange look. Now the reason why i tell you this story is because i felt really awkward not introducing myself after saying hi, and i felt like a stalker. I wanted to introduce myself at east coast bash but still felt to awkward to say anything. I figure i would make a public statement to let people know im retarded or something. so if he reads this..My Bad... and i feel like a dick.

What area really needs a theme park?
bigbill245 replied to let1gre's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Long Island needs a decent amusement park. There is a amusement park thats geared for kids but no real thrill seeker oriented parks. Plus to get to a decent park it takes a lot of time and crossing the bridges gets expensive. -
