Hey Will, happen to remember from the magnum line? If you want details, I was the random kid the squareish glasses and had A Detroit Tigers shirt on that day. We were kinda squeaky when we introduced ourselves. I said my real name is my screen name and just went our ways after riding. It was nice to see you there, along with Dan/Casey and the other folks I met. Nice TR by the way, I just started to read it around the SFKK bit and I'm continuing to do so. Nice meeting ya and take care!

LIONS. BIGGEST MESS EVER. WILL NOT GO .500 THIS YEAR! Need I say more guys? We haven't gotten a good pick since Roy Williams in the 2004 1st round draft. Before that? Barry Sandersz!!! and god I dunno how long that was... Go Giants, Screw the Lions!

Umm, MGM Grand Adventure closed in September 2000. I think you meant 2000, not 2001 because you've would've been at a plot of land. fun. Just joshing with ya!

More of the details of the video came across my mind today, in the video of the Big Shot. The banner shown on the car said "Let It Ride!-Big Shot Stratosphere!" and the High Roller video had these old trains that just said Let It Ride! Stratosphere! on the front and the restraints on High Roller had no padding and the rest of the train was colored like a rainbow. Did the Tower at one time switch the trains and improve the restraints?? Because I'm sure the Yellow trains were new-er, and the padded restraints were fresh because when I was on it they looked totally new. also in 2005, when I went Big Shot was still the same besides a car based banner change and X-Scream and Insanity were well....themselves! Hope this helps in making my request more clear!

I tried that already, forgot to mention it. My Bad. It had to be around 1997-98 because it looked like really old digital footage, which was "New" at that time. It had a bunch of cut shots of each ride in their respective videos. If you wanted a little more accurate information about the videos themselves. EDIT: I just called them and they said someone will call me back about it. Because I just really want to see them again, and want to have them in possession since I had them on my hard drive in 2002 and lost them in a rewipe of the hard drive in 2003.

Hi, Mr.Stratosphere you may be able to help on this, if not it's fine. I'm looking for some really old videos focusing on Big Shot and High Roller atop the Stratosphere. I mean, they've must of been from around shortly after the tower opened, they were promo like videos from 1997-1998. It showed rider reactions in the Big Shot video, and the High Roller video showed it moving around the tower. It played some type of thriller, mystery music along with it. I've been looking for them since 2003. I'd really like it if anyone knew about these videos, they used to be on the old Stratosphere site before X-Scream and Insanity came to light. So the old site must've gone offline in 2001-02? Any links or help would be welcomed! Chris

Wow I got offended at people pointing out this was difficult....I have friends and closer friends who's family members are bi-Lesbian-Gay. I did it today, I found it a noble enough cause. Look people, if you have negative or obvious things to say in here. Don't say it, I got really pissed at some people in the first posts who thought it was difficult. What, just because you can't shut up for a minute makes it hard? WOW. I'm done with my two cents. EDIT: edited a word out, sorry.....I just had enough crap today with people trying to make me talk today and I'm just very upset right now, feel me you know?

Some people are just a-holes, simply said. I HAVE no problem with vegans and veggies, I tried some of the dietary vegans and veggies eat and I find of it in weird taste like veggie burgers but they're okay. I actually got fed a veggie burger and didn't realize it once. Tasted like the real thing to me, and didn't have a big deal to make from it. But to be honest, a few people I know are veggies and some of them I'm good friends with. However here and there I do get looks of longing at my double cheeseburger or chicken sandwich and I've had to remind of what they are. pains me to do that sometimes. I'm not taking pity for ya, these are honest experiences I've had at school and on social outings. These are my thoughts, and plain out some people are just dicks like the first on Y! Questions.

I was talking to BRTrainer, not you. Should've been more clear on that, silly me forgetting to direct my posts.

wow, you just broke half the rules across the board when you began....no offense...where you a member when you were 9 to 12 years old? Not trying to be mean, I believe you but I find that shocking. I'll try to dig it up tonight, if I can. alot of work to do tonight being a Senior student and all. Nice park by the way, from the beginning screenshots and stuff.

Hey Guys, I have a copy of the Giga Looper coaster in my scenary. I can copy the dat files and send the folder through email. I've collected alot of stuff that isn't aviliable anymore and my scenary shows how much crap in RCT and RCT2 I've seen over the past 7-8 years in the RCT community. If you need it, just drop me a PM with your email and I'll get to it ASAP. may require a few hours of searching tonight through my scenary folder, but trust me if it helps you all out. That's what I'm here for, I'm kinda a RCT vet since I've been on RCT2.com for awhile and the Station before that. If you need anything else, ask me! There's probably very few things I've missed downloading through the years, so if I have it I'll send it. Otherwise, Have fun building!

^ rofl Both are good in my opinion, though I'd rather ride Maverick more during ERT then TTD. TTD's fun, but it's a cheap 18 second rush, that's all. Maverick is much much more, believe us (the crowd who likes Maverick).

If you check out this thread and post in it! Ok....I'm not laughing at any you, I'm laughing with you!!

COLD. COLD with a chance of clouds. THAT'S ALL, and poor Tigers we're 0-4 and they have to play at home in this weather today I feel bad for em', but it's their jobs.

I feel outta my chair with the BURGER CAM part, I keep on playing it over and over and it won't get old. Nice video guys..... realll nice.....

If you're running Vista, I can't help. I'm running XP and switch to XP if you can. Vista is teh suck.

you go into your icon titled My Computer and click on the icon titled Hard Drive. That's it. Are you running Vista?

A graphics card is what allows to see what your doing on a computer But seriously, hard drive space could be the problem. How much space do you have left? I'd suggest if you're low on space, to delete some crap you don't need or barely use and see if it helps

Hey E! Happy Birthday! all the best!

I'm in with CB's bracket. Looking forward to the tournament, it's time to play some serious ball!!

Best attempt at one: We tried to make a full loop out of snow and tried to ice the thing over with a hose at a school playground, back when it had a good sized hill. (hill's gone now) Best: Me and one of my friends used to pack snow on his slanted driveway and his front steps and sled down them, sledding down the stairs, we always manage to stop before we hit the tree in his front yard. Worst and one of the better ones: I did a 720 while going down the playground sled hill, knocked over 4 kids going down...bruised my right eye and nose. It was worth it though, and oddly fun too.

I'm posting here in Michigan around 5:30 AM, getting ready for school and I just read about your win in the Detroit Free Press and I just gotta say "Congratulations!". You deserve it! Hope you had fun at the after parties and hope to hear from you soon Diablo!

Nice job on the update, the Glass maze video pretty had me LOLing through out a third of the update. For some odd reason after I finished reading it and closed out the PTR, I got a tingly yet happy feeling inside. I'm going to find a way to get my parents to pay for one of these trips, I really want to go that bad now. Chris "Tingly insides" Benvenuto

I've played that for too long, The Waiting Game. I've been waiting for 20 months for it to stop? anymore suggestions there, buddy? Because I'm stumped as I type.

The park is really starting to look swell with the Nick theming, I might consider bugging my dad about going to MOA this year or my mom since she has a friend who lives near MOA. I really look forward to riding SB and Avatar if I somehow get the chance or have the chance to visit Minnesota. They don't call it MOA for nothing, this looks effing great! Good job on MOA's behalf I really love the park! Always wanted to go there before this and this makes me want to go even more!
