My Lova-Dwele

After watching the CLE-IND game tonight, I don't see why New Yorkers have their heart set On Lebron right now, or in two years or whenever. If LJ cares about winning, I see him staying right where he is. He runs the show where he is and seems to have a decent cast around him. I don't think the same could be said for New York, especially if they're holding off getting talent to lure him there. Kinda tough to convince a one man show that he can win.

^With that said, If you compare Kanye to the like of Talib Kweli, Black thought, Mos Def, Planet Asia, Jurassic 5, or The Pharcyde, would you still think Kanye West keeps the vibe of hip hop alive? Can you compare the lyrical content in "Cant Tell Me Nothin'" to let's say, "Mecca & The Soul Brother" by Pete Rock & CL Smooth? If West tried to get by on lyrical skills and the mediocre producing he does, I'd have no problem with him whatsoever. There is a lot of commercial music I listen to. I just find it slighty contradictory for someone to be so obsessed with the very thing he says in his music is taboo. Being commercial is one thing, but dropping "All Falls Down", and Living live in "Flashing lights" seems like you don't really create music to express a certain message or agenda. There's nothing wrong with making music solely for money, West just lies about it. Lies to us, and lies to himself.

Didn't work earlier, but I'm good now.

WHAT???

I see Knott's getting the El Loco, and MM getting the Dive, based on space in each park.

Seems logical enough. That spot where Sierra Falls sits could be replaced with two kiddie flasts and the slide should be relocated to HH.

Just call it Mr. Freeze and have that be the end of it.

^^If they pay for licensing fees they might as well milk it for what its worth.

There's a nice size of land up in Sammuri Summit for a loading station. There is also a decent amount of Space between X and Viper. Let's keep in mind that we still don't know the size of this alleged ride, so it may not require much space at all.

^Good point. That's why I think all Superman themed B&M's with yellow rails look more vivid and interesting. Take a look at this: This Is Superman:Krypton Coaster in San Antonio, TX This is the Superman ride in Madrid, Spain Which one looks more vivd.

^^From what I was told the plans were revised in 2000. I'm not the direct source so take it for what it is

^That settles that. Case closed.

I've thought this from it's mention, and I still think so now. A splashdown is unlikely. I'm guessing there will be a timed water effect, but for the train to skim one side into water will exert uneven forces on the trains.

Well They could be defunt now. The last ride I know for sure they fabricated for Intamin was Xcelerator.

Well Let's just hope we don't see another collapse in Philly tomight. EDIT: Great win tonight. Another sloppy 4th qtr by LA, but they got the stops they needed to get the W. I just want to see the Lakers win enough games btween Dec-Feb so that Mar-Apr games can be played without a chip on their shoulders.

I'm leaning to believe what was mentioned earlier that since we have better weather here in California that it will be easier (and therefore more work will be done) to build this ride in Jan-Feb than it would be in K.C.

Scream's color's and the fact it never has a line are the only two things I like about the ride.

Giovanola Is a steel manufacturer. They manufacture steel for buildings, bridges, coasters, etc. They only built three coasters (Goliath, Titan, and Anaconda). Interesting fun fact is that Walter Bolliger and Claude Mabillard were forer enginners for Giovanola. At the time of their employement with the firm, The led many of Intamins projects as Intamin has it's track fabricated by Giovanola (Hence why older Intamins resemble modern day B&M's, and why Giovanola resemble B&M's; they own the patent) They still fabricate track for Intamin to this day.

Did you know Xcelerator at Knott's Beery Farm was originally supposed to helix around neighboring ride Supreme Scream, but at the last minute had Intamin revise the blueprints because of an accident at SFMM on Goliath?

It's going to just pop up over night, watch EDIT: The floor is now open for "that's what she said" jokes.

Well, I guess you can't win EVERY game of the season. So be it. I'm sure this will be one of the Pacers' highlights of the season, so let them have it. On a side note, if Trevor Ariza can stay healthy this season and be as consistant as he was tonight, I think he's a shoe-in for 6th man award. He is also going to be a strong X-factor in alot of games. Hopefully the Clippers win tonight.

Call me a pessimist if you want, but I don't think the Lake Show will go 73-9 this year. Be flippin' sweet if they did though... I agree that What Lebron does in two seasons from now should be worried about in two seasons. LJ gets to run the show where he is now and isn't disapointing anyone. It would not come to me as a shock if he stays right where he is.
