Man crashes into ride at DelGrosso’s
Kennyweird replied to robbalvey's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
They're citing him for careless driving? For what?! -
Kennywood (KW) Discussion Thread
Kennyweird replied to DenDen's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Answer 1: Yes, but I can't tell you. Answer 2: I met Devious at opening day this year, but that's it. -
Kennywood (KW) Discussion Thread
Kennyweird replied to DenDen's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Kennywood already has a ride themed to its history. If you mean the train, that's themed to the history of the area, really, not the park. Besides, the same spiel has been used on that train for as long as I can remember. I'm talking about history of THE PARK, like their past rides, and maybe an explanation of all the traditions or something. Not some spiel about George Washington, and some giant guy who can bend steel with his bare hands... Uh dude, they rethemed it this year. It's all about Kennywood now. -

Does it go over his fingers to make the arms rigid?

Kennywood (KW) Discussion Thread
Kennyweird replied to DenDen's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
It's pretty obvious that this was coming, seeing that they didn't renew the license and all. At any rate, I'm sure we'll see a much better old mill in a couple years. I've also heard some interesting facts about the new coaster, including one possible name. I can't wait to see this thing start going up! -
Kennywood or Cedar Point on Labor Day
Kennyweird replied to jer1188's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
For the record, there was virtually nobody at Kennywood on Labor Day. My co-workers tell me it's like that every year. -
What makes a rough coaster?
Kennyweird replied to spacemtfan's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
The side-to-side jerking of the train. -
Is it part of a puppet?

What makes a rough coaster?
Kennyweird replied to spacemtfan's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Roughness can be caused by, among other things: - track imperfections (warping, "egging", manufacturing defects, etc.) - vibrations in the track - vibrations in the train - shuffling caused by gaps in the wheel assemblies (the shuffling of each car tends to compound near the the back of the train, making the rear more rough. I'm pretty sure it has nothing to do with getting whipped around.) -
Cedar Point (CP) Discussion Thread
Kennyweird replied to robbalvey's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
That's probably Robb's doing. If the first post to announce a new ride isn't very detailed, he usually deletes it and reposts a more detailed announcement in its place. -
Weirdest Things The 'GP' Have Said
Kennyweird replied to maliboomer's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
I saw this comment on Youtube regarding Kennywood's new coaster: He actually thought they were taking out the Pennsylvania Turnpike to put in the new coaster! -

The infamous Rollback!
Kennyweird replied to themeparkman25's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
I still have yet to experience a rollback. I did witness Storm Runner rollback when I visited Hersheypark last summer, but that was it. -
It's all in the eye of the beholder. A service one person appreciates another might find insulting or dehumanizing, it all depends on the person. Besides, I was more referring to people who are profoundly retarded and require a caregiver to lead them around, not people who are mildly retarded but otherwise functional, independent individuals. BTW, I don't mean retarded in an offensive way, it's just shorter than typing out "people with a mental disability", which I'm sure will be considered offensive by 2015, anyway.

I have ADHD and totally disagree with this policy. As far as disabilities go, ADHD is fairly mild, and treatable with medication. In fact, my ADHD keeps me entertained in line by allowing my mind to run wild. I think parks are afraid to deny these people exit passes, otherwise they'll be accused of being insensitive to their guest's "needs". It's amazing what lengths parks will go to to avoid bad publicity, no matter how stupid it is. Edit: Perhaps there's a good reason for this policy. It keeps the ADHD kids out of line so they don't run amok and irritate the crap out of other people. I'll have to give this more thought.

Kennywood or Cedar Point on Labor Day
Kennyweird replied to jer1188's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Go to Kennywood because I'm there. In all honesty, CP may be your better option, but as of late KW has been good about adding extra trains when the crowds get large, so I wouldn't count them out. There will probably be long lines regardless of which park you go to. -
There are crashing sounds coming from my kitchen!

Nice video, there were some good shots of the Phantom in there.

Today was the first day of school for me. My schedule was so screwed up it wasn't even funny. Among other things, it had me scheduled for Trig/Precalculus, a course I took last year and aced.

Rider Cam and the effects of Gravity!
Kennyweird replied to Trevor's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
They need to install these cameras on Expedition Geforce and El Toro. -
Disney to acquire Marvel
Kennyweird replied to ParkTrips's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Are you really comparing Marvel to the Incredibles? That's like saying Looney Tunes and Saw are similar because they both have violence, weapons and dangerous machines. I see what you're saying, but it's a very poor comparison.
