From what I've read La Ronde is one of the lower quality Six Flags parks. I haven't heard all that many good things about it. Not sure Cedar Fair would really want to take on a park like that. If Cedar Fair would buy parks I'd guess they might be more interested in the Paramount parks. PCW has far more potential then La Ronde ever will. Though buying PCW would depend on if Paramount gets sold peice by peice, or all in one.

Theme Park Review Needs YOU!!!!
Carnage replied to robbalvey's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Whatever works for you. No problem using FP if it's what you're used to. Personally I use Dreamweaver, though it's really just a glorified text editor. I rarely use the visual features. It would seem to me that this task could probably be done in just about any text editor. Assuming the person knows HTML they shouldn't have any problems. -
I guess the one thing going for Molson is that they don't have spokespeople who are in to kiddy porn. Yesterday the actor that plays the scottish guy in the Alexander Kieths commercials was charged with two counts of child porn. (Keiths is a Labatts product). It's a shame too, those commercials were funny.

Molson is our low quality beer that we export. It's really just for college students and people that want to get drunk cheaper. Or people that just have to have the biggest brand. Countries always export their worst beers. Blue/Canadian are both gross.

^ I asked that the other night in chat. Robb mentioned I think that it was a joke that started when he worked for Disney. And it just happened to stick for some reason. At least I think that's the general idea.

Frontpage is a byproduct of the devil. I'll help if I can. Though hopefully I won't have to use frontpage. I've never liked the kind of code it produces. -
Magnum and Millennium Force

^ I'd doubt if Mean Streak get's reprofiled. They'll tear it out completely before they make a major change to it. -
I gained some weight from quiting smoking(the few failed attempts I had before finally kicking the habit). Though I'm not sure how much of the weight gain was due to smoking, increased beer drinking, quiting my part time job, or the freshmen 15. I've put on about 50-60 pounds in the last 5-6 years. Though it's not really that shocking considering how under weight I was before that.

I've got a valentines poem ... though I'd probably get banned for posting it. Worst hallmark holiday ever.

I like how it groups emails into conversation threads. Some freinds and I have huge conversations. We've sent thousands of emails back and forth. The threads roll over at 150 emails. We've probably done that at least 20 times.

^ Almost right. HAlloweekends saturdays can result in capacity crowds when the weather is nice. I've seen 2 hour waits for everything on saturday's in October. May can be risky as well due to the weather. My choice would be the two weekends after labour day. This is before halloweekends start. So there's not really anything going on, the weather is cool but not cold, and the park is deserted.

Wood Coaster Maintenance?
Carnage replied to downunder's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Mean Streak at one point was costing $250,000 per year to maintain. This was partly the reason for slowing the ride down. They've got something like 7 full time carpenters that work the ride. -
Or just limit what you bring and reuse. You can use the sniff/dryness test to check what clothes are eligible for reuse at the start of the next cycle. That is assuming you don't mind slumming it a bit.

Weird I dont' see that at all. I scoured the profile but couldn't find an option related to that. Could it be an admin setting that just happens to not apply to your admin account?

Marineland Gets a Topple Tower
Carnage replied to niiicolaaah's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Personally I don't consider it anywhere near "just a credit". What I meant was that if you're only going to the park to ride DM and leave it's a bit too expensive. Now it makes it more worthwhil if you see some of the other stuff that park has to experience. Like the bears in the pit that dance for marshmellows, or the field of deer that swarm you for the food. I can remember watching my sister try and hold the two cups of food above her head. The deer just kept nudging her in the ribs until she finally freaked out, threw the food, and ran. -

As with most things Marineland doesn't have the most acurate advertising. Sky Screamer isn't as tall as you think. It's built ontop of a giant hill, which typically is included in the specs. Kind of like how Power Tower. How when it opened they advertised it as the first 300 foot thrill ride(which includes the 60 foot arches on top). Marineland still claims Dragon Mountain as the largest coaster in the world, so take anything they say with a grain of salt. -
I did that last year. Except I had to get pulled out by tow truck. Stupid country ditches. Serves me right for actually doing what drivers training tells you to do. They didn't mention phantom shoulders.

^ The problem with Marineland as a credit whore stop is the price. It's not very cheap to get in if I remember correctly. -
^ What's a read gansta? do you know english coasterlou no offense. (inside joke ) Bah, you edited it in time.

Carnage replied to robbalvey's topic in Random, Random, Random
You should put yourself in as an easteregg. Maybe a hidden playable charachter? The Robbobott. -
Marineland Gets a Topple Tower
Carnage replied to niiicolaaah's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
How is that an opinion? It's either yes or no And actually it's a no. The park is quite close to the falls. I was there last year and standing by the falls you can easilly see Sky Screamer behind you. The park really couldn't be all that much closer to the falls without being on the falls. Edit: You can see in the arial photos just how close it is. Link -

I prefer the 2000 foot coast through the metal girders that was supposed to be a water fall theming. That coaster is one of the longest in the world(or biggest if you listen to the park itself). But yet if excluded the super long lift hill, and flat sections it wouldn't be any longer then your average looping/corkscrew coaster. -
I think they're somewhere around there. I don't really pay attention though. The last thing I want is to actually think about it. Last time I smoked packs were $5-$6ish. I try not and think about how much money I wasted.

But we can still drive properly when it gets over 100 degrees. Unlike when the south gets a bit of snow.

How about the garbage can? That's the flavour when they take the left overs from all the other old tins and combine them into one. Most disgusting ice cream I've ever seen. A mixture of chocolate chip, bubble gum, and who know's what else. My parents got guilted into buying a tin of that stuff from some freinds that owned a struggling ice cream shop.
