  1. Tough one, but I think I'll give my edge to Raptor Mezzanine or orchestra seats (in a theater)
  2. Link Thanks for the title change, Larry!
  3. There's a car dealership near my hometown called "Bob's Dodge." His commercials were very cheap and the spokesman was a little creepy. I wouldn't mind the commercial if it weren't for the very creepy slogan, "He just wants to get you a loan." Didn't catch it? Say it out loud and a little faster! Makes me shudder every time.
  4. This is harder than I thought, but here's my contributions: Knights of Cydonut Shop 1 is a Really Good Value (Knights of Cydonia - Muse) Son of Beast, Burn it to the Ground (Burn it to the Ground - Nickelback ) The Beautiful GP (The Beautiful People - Marilyn Manson) Beethoven's 9th Time Riding This Coaster! Ride Something Else! The Ride Op Already Hates You! (Beethoven's 9th )
  5. Laptop Eat dinner with your family or in front of the TV?
  6. Both SFDK and SFNE trying to sneak rides past their height boundaries.
  7. Bizarro, no contest RCCA or S&S wooden coaster
  8. Tornado warnings are popping up all over the tri-state area. One of the warnings includes this:
  9. Montu! Premier LIM Bowl (Flight of Fear, Joker's Jinx, etc.) or Vekoma LSM Bowl (Rock 'n Roller Coaster, Xpress, etc.)
  10. Togo loopers, Vekoma loopers, Pinfari loopers, Hopkins loopers, take your pick! What's worse than standing in a crowded elevator when somebody suddenly "cuts one?"
  11. Catapult at SFNE has some really bizarre restraints. First, there are those shoulder harnesses that lower on top of you. If you don't position yourself just right, you will have a really uncomfortable ride. Then there's the lap bar. It holds you in nice and snug, but a little too snug. It's like a boa constrictor; the more you breath out, the tighter it gets. Then again, with the forces you feel on this ride, you'd be glad the restraints are this complicated.
  12. Amtrak is beginning to cancel service. South of D.C. has already been cancelled. Essentially, all east coast trains will be stopped after 12 PM tomorrow. No trains will be running Sunday. My train gets into Philadelphia at about 11:30 AM tomorrow, so I have my fingers crossed that I make it in on time. Edit: Made it! My train was one of the last ones they let through NYC.
  13. ^Only northern Connecticut has the Tropical Storm Watch. It seems like everything south of Middletown has the same hurricane watch. But the weather following the hurricane is supposed to be really nice!
  14. Tomorrow, I'll be heading from "Tropical Storm Watch" north Connecticut to "Hurricane Warning" Philadelphia. I think I'm going to have a fun weekend
  15. Wooden Warrior at Quassy! Rode it for the first time yesterday and LOVED it!
  16. I think that having both coasters facing the same direction will look even sillier than the cobra rolls facing each other. But those are really great pictures, thanks for posting!
  17. I consider saying "Six Flags" to be a nickname for the park in reference just like you'd call someone named James "Jim." While it is mildly amusing that many GP don't know there are other Six Flags parks, I don't think that labeling folks who say "let's go to Six Flags" is worthy of this thread. I just remembered another one from my ride attendant days. I was at Scream at Six Flags New England when a father enters the ride with his very young son. I checked his height and he was way below the height limit. I apologized and informed him that his son was not tall enough, but his comeback was, "There is no height limit." To be fair, he did reference that the map did not post the height limit of Scream (to my own dismay), but I told him that every ride has a height limit and he finished hating me by the time the ride ended. Just a simple misunderstanding. Edit: Good point
  18. A bunch of my friends and even my Dad reported feeling something all across Connecticut. I was about 10 miles away from all of these reports and felt nothing. Interesting shock* for the east coast I must say. *no pun intended
  19. Storm Runner, though both are way too short. Toast or bagels
  20. I think I've officially become a fan of your TRs. They're funny, have great pics, and I can practically feel your ride/park experiences just by the way you describe them. Thanks for the report, I look forward to more
  21. Riddler's Revenge (doesn't strain your legs as much) Huss Frisbee or Zamperla Disko
  22. If the weather is nice, Six Flags New England Tuesday night. If not, Quassy on Wednesday.
  23. Lake Compounce (only because of Boulder Dash) Complete curcuit or shuttle coaster?
  24. Can somebody stream post a live stream? Even if the quality is bad, that premise sounds awesome (and Jaleel White's in it!?! )
  25. Boomerang (I've had more luck finding smooth boomerangs than smooth SLCs) Ski or snowboard
