"YOLO" Banned... List of "banned" words for 2013 Lake Superior State University 2013 List of Banished Words YOLO (you only live once) "Stands for 'You Only Live Once' and used by wannabe Twitter philosophers who think they've uncovered a deep secret of life. Also used as an excuse to do really stupid things, such as streaking at a baseball game with YOLO printed on one's chest. I only live once, so I'd prefer to be able to do it without ever seeing YOLO again." Brendan Cotter, Grosse Pte. Park, Mich. "Used by teens everywhere to describe an action that is risky or unconventional, yet acceptable because 'you only live once.' Who lives more than once?" P.P., Los Angeles, Calif. "Just gives people,especially teens, a reason to do stupid things. I find it annoying and I'm pretty sure I'm not alone here." Daniel, Hickory, NC "Only a real yoyo would use the term 'yolo.'" Sandra McGlew, White Lake, Mich.

When I first saw the GS logo with the gun I thought it was really cool, but also though the gun might seem inappropriate and in the back of my mind felt like it might change but I dismissed it because I'm so excited for the coaster. Now look, the gun is gone but it is replaced with a lantern which is also what a miner would have used so it completely works. I still like the logo but I think it was fine with the gun and imo as horrible as that tragedy is the logo should not be affected by it.... but whudda you gonna do.

During the spiel around 3 minutes in he says "no screaming"....wtf really? When did that start? And he says "please keep hands and hands, etc inside the cabin..." I used to work that ride in '89- we always had plenty of cat litter handy. Funny, one of the wheels, when it started, it would start very violently, it was funny to watch it fling the cabins all over the place.

This. Another 600ft of track with a nice overbank and some camel humps would make a world of difference. Of all the new coasters that I might get a chance to ride next year, this is the only one I won't be too upset if it's not ready in time for my trip. Still would love to try it but no biggie if I miss out. I kind of feel the same way. Ride it a couple of times just to try it and I'm good.

AGREE and 1. You think Ninja might go but then you just drop it with an "anyway", so why do you think this what is the reasoning? 2. There is plenty of room at this park in places you would not expect and as has been said for a million - billion times all over this site, if the park wants to put something in bad enough they will find a way to do it. It is my opinion that Ninja might be the next to go. But I said "anyway" because SFMM usually suprises us by what rides they build and what rides they take out. They could take out a ride that all of us were expecting to be taken out, or a ride that we though was a few years away from retirement... Alright, very good.

It could also be called "Double Whiplash!" Get one when you launch and the other on the instant extreme braking. -

Seems legit. One of the will be "Brake Run: The Ride", which will be the world's first 300 mph launch coaster that will launch right into a brake run. It's short, has a gimmick, so it will fit right in.
