  1. That is so incredibly true. Cedar Point is the only reason anyone goes to Sandusky. In fact, it's the only reason there is a Sandusky.
  2. 5 school cancellations in a row... I'm going to go fucking insane.
  3. Does anyone know if they have a hydronic heater (a machine that pumps hot coolant through hoses to thaw frozen ground or keep curing concrete warm) on site?
  4. School's canceled tomorrow because of a snow storm we got on Friday. LOL!
  5. There's snow up to my waist. It's ridiculous.
  6. ^Is that really necessary? I mean, it's not like this is surprising.
  7. Well, I for one am not surprised. The removal of Chang was a pretty blatant foreshadowing of things to come.
  8. Press "Print Screen" on the Keyboard, then open up an image editor and hit "paste".
  9. Got a nasty virus recently, had to wipe my drive and start fresh. Here's my new desktop. I still live in the stone age with XP. Oh well...
  10. YESSSSSSS!!!!! Your turn.
  11. Gonna start learning Lenz's Law today in AP physics. Interesting stuff.
  12. When I started working at the Skycoaster and Racer, I was actually surprised how many people didn't struggle with putting on the flight suits. Like most harnesses, putting one on (and taking one off) isn't exactly a straight-forward process.
  13. I believe the only thing minors can't do is operate roller coasters and the Skycoaster. Minors can't operate any of the rides, period. As for the Skycoaster, they can be flight suit person, but they can't be expediter, controller, or assistant controller.
  14. Because you're a minor, it's unlikely they'll put you in the rides department, but if they do, you'll be limited to attendant duties like checking restraints, since you have to be 18 to operate rides. As for scheduling, I can't speak for any of the other departments, but in rides scheduling can be pretty flexible. For example, they gave me half a night off during fright nights, the most understaffed time of the year, so I could go ride rides with my family! Yes, EastCoastn07 is right, you generally get one day a week off, but keep in mind that there will be a couple days each week where you won't have to work all day, so in reality, it adds up to be more like two days off. As for vacations, just don't abuse them, and you'll probably be fine. I would recommend filing your vacation request form way ahead of time so the managers have time to find someone to take your place while you're gone. Again, these are the ride department's rules. I don't know what the other departments' rules are, but I would imagine they're similar.
  15. The scary part is all the dumbasses are having children, and lots of them, I don't know where they all sleep in the trailer. You bring up an interesting point. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fertility_and_intelligence
  16. You know, I've never really experienced this type of problem at the Racer. I don't care what people say about Pittsburghers, if there's one thing we possess, it's common sense. I've kicked off countless people because they're too big or their kid's too small, and not once has anyone made a fuss about it.
  17. There actually was another spot, but Palace wanted the coaster closer to the entrance. And what spot was this? I don't know who told you this, but Sky Rocket and the various other coasters that Kennywood was deciding on were all designed to take the place of the Turnpike. This spot was considered before anything was designed. It also didn't require the removal of anything. What was the spot then? The area around the Phantom's final turn.

  20. Personally, I hate the ticket system. Anytime I go to a park that still uses it, I always opt to buy the all day pass instead. Seriously, you already have to stand in line to ride anything, why would you want to stand in line so you can stand in line again? Besides, a park with free admission like Knoebels would not work in West Mifflin. (Kennywood+free admission)/(West Mifflin + Duquesne) = scariest place on earth.
  21. Wireless keyboards are really cool.
  22. I do give them lots of credit, and I'm sure it will work fine, but it's just gonna look really awkward.
  23. Honestly, I've never noticed any major differences between riding during the day and at night. Night rides are fun and all, I just don't think they're any better than a day ride.
  24. Photos of the Phantom's retracking part deux have been posted on screamscape. Ugh, this is gonna look so ghetto when it's done. Still no sign of any Skyrocket footers. At least the station won't take long to build...
