News: Park Proposed for Las Vegas Strip
ParkTrips replied to deathbydinn's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
^ I agree on the water park I could see a small park working, keep the families with kids happy during the day, and recreate the environment of HHN @ Universal every night. -

whispers are not exactly incriminating. For instance, I could say Ed Farmer is a retired sumo wrestler residing in Mauritius, but that doesn't make it true. The better you are, the more haters you'll have. Again, unless proven otherwise...

I personally would be shocked if Pujols is caught using PEDs. I really admire him a s a player, he's probably the greatest in my lifetime so far.

^ You mean the school that ranks much higher academically than Ohio State? Tom Brady simply cannot fail - he is, after all, married to Giselle. End of story. -
Four-year-olds can be about as predictable as a driver on an LA highway-- totally erratic! The parents COULD have been paying close attention, and still not been able to prevent it. Elissa does a great job keeping an eye on KT, and Kristen is a pretty well-behaved girl, but even she can sometimes get hurt really quick. Maybe they will just pay closer attention to the temperature of their cheese - I would guess the temp of the cheese should be around 120-140 degrees -- who knows, maybe the cheese machine was malfunctioning, and was spitting out cheese at 170 degrees. It isn't unheard of, and shouldn't be dismissed just yet! Thank you, my thoughts exactly She wasn't driving, and I'm pretty sure she spilled the coffee while stopped. Just like the Disney case, don't hate if you don't know what the real story is!! MCDonalds policy, at the time, was to serve coffee at 180*, much higher than what most other people would serve coffee at

there's hot, and then there's burn your tonsils off hot. We don't really know just *how* hot it was. I think many of the people posting in this thread are being presumptuous at this point. Is a copy of the suit available online somewhere? Since it happened last March, I wonder if the statute of limitations is 12 months? I do, however, LOVE the lawsuit regarding It's a Small World. Simply amazing!

Walmart employees fired after disarming gunman
ParkTrips replied to Hydraglow's topic in Random, Random, Random
That's true - world's largest revenues, for sure. I guess calling them the "world's largest company" was too vague. Also, I love Target, but haven't they been relatively flat over the past few years (just now recovering from the 08 collapse) whereas Wal Mart has still grown through the recession? Of course, this could be due to their overseas growth over the past decade, for all I know. I agree that Costco is awesome too. I find Wal Mart to be possibly the most fascinating company in the world. For good or bad. -
this just came up not too long ago: http://www.themeparkreview.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=56609 I suggest a merge! [to answer, I'm a management major at Georgia Tech - started off in engineering, only to realize that you have to really love it to want to do it for a career, as good money can be made in fields that are much more enjoyable]

ParkTrips replied to Hydraglow's topic in Random, Random, Random
The world's largest corporation isn't a juggernaut anymore? Or are people keeping their mouths shut because of the economy? (maybe paying less for the exact same product isn't a bad idea, and maybe any job really is better than no job with 9-10% unemployment) I don't think they are saying not to engage a shoplifter, rather, sometimes, it just isn't worth taking the situation any further. You are right, most shoplifters won't even have a gun to pull - thus making the loss of a laptop even more of a rare situation I agree that this is a fairly touchy subject, and I don't totally blame the guys for trying to fight back - but "rules are rules". IMO, fighting back is the last thing one should do when getting robbed, especially if you KNOW he has a gun -

It's funny how these guys can be big babies look, Hines, I know you went to UGA, so this may be tough for you to understand, but you've made more than $50 million in your career - I'm pretty sure you can afford your own health care. -

ParkTrips replied to Hydraglow's topic in Random, Random, Random
why has the wal-mart hate not begun yet? I'm pretty sure most retailers are willing to take small losses in exchange of making a bad situation go away quickly. A $500 laptop won't cost the company nearly as much as an injured (or even dead) employee. If the rules say don't engage someone with weapons, don't do it. As loss prevention guys, I'm sure they knew these rules, and they left themselves open for termination. Most people won't actually use weapons unless provoked, and attacking him is putting yourself, your fellow employees, and the company at risk. Hell yeah I'd fire them -

To para-phrase Scott Van Pelt - "you gotta love a country with 10% unemployment that gives millionaire athletes free cars" Damn Packers. Actually, damn turnovers -

I don't think a 2nd half has ever been better than the first, commercial-wise, at least I liked the NFL fans commercial the best. -

Nice! Though the bottles won't be as awesome as when consumed fresh of taps in Bavaria, great game-day beer choices. Also, Stubb's is the best bbq sauce you can buy in grocery stores!
