Kennywood (KW) Discussion Thread
Kennyweird replied to DenDen's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
I was at Kennywood yesterday applying for a job. I didn't take any pictures, obviously, but there really wasn't much to see anyway. BTW, the Bayern Kurve is almost done. -
What are some loud rides and coasters?
Kennyweird replied to JFrombaugh's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
The thunderbolt at Kennywood is pretty loud, but only because it's right next to the midway. -
Undertaker is obviously a cheap rip-off of Grave Digger. What a crappy-looking show.

^I know that. I was just stating what the statue refers to. In fact, the image source is your image.

In Ireland, Mickey is slang for penis, hence the "big, pink Mickey".

Need some help
Kennyweird replied to Intamin10's topic in Roller Coaster Games, Models, and Other Randomness
This tutorial is for anyone who is experiencing the same problem as Intamin10. Sometimes 3d editors, like Rhino and Sketchup, will export 3ds files with the ambiance set to pure black. When opened with NL, this causes faces not directly exposed to the light source (sun) to appear pure black. Not good. Although there are probably countless 3d editors you can use to fix this with, we will be using a simple, free one called Anim8or. So first, follow the link and download Anim8or v0.95c: www.anim8or.com/main/index.html After you've downloaded and installed Anim8or, open it and under Object, click Import, then select your troublesome 3ds file and click open. Now that you've loaded your object, we can start the actual fixing. Click the Materials button (1) to open up the materials window (2). The materials window will display a list of all the materials present in the object. Double-click on each material to open the materials property window (3), and set the color labeled 'Ambient' (4) to pure white. You'll need to do this individually for all the materials. After you've done that, go back up to Object -> Export. Select 3ds as the file type and export it to the object folder in the NL directory. Now when you open the object with NL, it should appear realistically shaded. Thanks for reading! -
Nose clip?

Finally! Your turn.

^ It's not any sort of motor. Think about it. A jetliner lands at around 135 knots, something has to slow it down, right?

It has nothing to do with the engines. SUPER OBVIOUS HINT:

^^You got the first word right.

^No. HINT: It produces large amounts of heat, especially in an emergency.
