There is something hidden in the forum...

That depends on if you think I'm an a$$ man or not! well thats a loaded answer and question, all the same. I'm sure you like female a$$, so that would make me think you don't like it in the rear, which means it should be towards the front of a thread. -

of course it would be on a specific page, but would that page be towards the beginning page of a thread or the rear of a thread? -

^^^^^ In that case, it must be this from our favorite thread, a phrase, AND an image -

Is it inspired by Prince Desmond? -

I'm envious, just be sure not to choke on a side of Gwazi. -
While the parks did see a major cleaning, you must wonder if that was PARC's doing or the holding company's instructions to do so. Even tho you pay a company to manage your investments, the owner still has the ability to point them in the right direction. In this case I believe they leased the parks, but even so, certain items can be inserted into a lease that must be followed or termination can occur. While it's easy to blame the economy, several other parks did very well the last few years considering all that was going on. I saw more commercials by leaps and bounds for Worlds and Fun/Kansas City/SFOT and Silver Dollar City (all 200 miles away) than for a park thats less than hundred miles away from me. The PARC parks I visited this year were clean, staff friendly, etc, but they were just dead. They lacked any sort of excitement that you expect when you visit a park. Given that, I hope whoever gets the amusement parks ramps up marketing and tries to breathe some much needed life into a a few of these parks.

This was not unexpected, good to get it over with and done many months before a new season starts. Frontier City is in desperate need of many new attractions, and a new signature coaster. Although land locked, there is still much they can do. I believe the land behind wild cat is theirs, and while a pedestrian bridge would be needed, relocating the parking and entrance would do wonders for expansion and getting the park back to being a contender. Magic Springs could also use another signature coaster and a few more flats. IMO, it's probably one the most underrated parks in the country.

When it comes down to it, some people are just jealous of other people's accomplishments. I think this is a perfect example. Disprove the accusations, which leaves her with nothing more than an illegitimate argument about posting in a dead thread? Does one not have the right to defend ones self even if a few days have gone by? I mean it's not like this was posted last summer, a week or two ago, yes. Not sure if they deserve any more of our attention, Big Dipper, yes, GLT, no. And with that, I leave some of them (more specifically one of them)(even more specific, Katie) with this: -

That picture really fired her up. Also looks like your office is kept nice and clean, so bonus points for that. While not really worth the time or energy, it would be funny to setup a special travel site for our new friends to book on. www.alveyxcursions.com (it's not real people, nor does it exist, so don't try pulling it up) Prince Desmond could be the backer. -

I'm going to be curious what SFOT does as well as SFSL. SFOT has the giant video screen outside the ride queue and SFSL has a well themed ride queue as well. With SFSL Evil Kenevil that would be an easy transformation, just take down the signs and rename it to Stuntman. Also with SFOT only having Tony Hawk and not the other two, I wonder if they will keep it, probably not. Guess we will find out this weekend.

I think it's a decent response. I was just scavenging their site today and surprised I missed that, however, I wasn't looking in the misc pile either. Personally I could care less if one has an IATA number or not. Plus, one would expect the person or persons (must include Elissa) who arrange for trips or activities to get their way paid for organizing, planning, and producing a great time, not to mention the money to send out bags of crap, shipping of products that often costs you more than what we pay you for, server bills, etc. Afterall that's only fair. I have no beef with anyone on that site, I'm not a member of it either, but it seems they mostly complain about the state the park is in or try to half hazardly get people together to do that same. Bottom line, the park is gone, it's not coming back, and the likelihood of the Big Dipper realizing the same fait is 99% One day they will give in and migrate over. -

My original was a typo, should have read 25 million, but, upon further fact checking I have found the original cost to be 30 million, 24 million was it's debt load, not that it matters, as Eric says, it was an EPIC fail either way. -

I think Wild Wild West holds the record, 250 million, closed in two months, final auction a couple a weeks ago. -
Robb, given what you just said about inserting the graphical line, I would say you hit the nail on the head with it being a freak(hmmm, is that the right word, or should way say typical MS f%$^up?) I'd say several of my users copy paste regularly, thou not from paypal to gmail, usually from banking and investments sites into spreadsheets, outlook, and whatnot, a fair amount of scanning and file copying. I know that most people think government workers don't do anything, but I can contest that they really do! I should also mention that we bumped everyone up to ultimate x64 on quad's with 4gb memory (enterprise for us, same thing as ultimate, only it lets us use one key instead of multiple). Our graphics designers have 8gb memory with quad's and use Adobe CS5 and Hiedelburg (printing press plate rendering) hardcore, so far, so good. I will admit that you probably hit your boxes way harder than most users with video renderings, dvd burning, etc. I remember Dell telling customers 5-6 years ago when they had faulty boards and people were tearing up their machines that they just used them too much, LMAO! I learned in a recent cert class that the professional version of Win7 is like home premium with XP, which surprised me, and after comparison, its true. It's hard to say if getting the upgrade key and applying to your OS would do anygood or not as basically the features are already there, just locked out. Applying the key opens the other options. The tech inside of me would roll back your machines to before patch tuesday, or to before whenever it says it last installed updates, and then, when windows attempts to re-install the updates, deny them. However, given your understandable opinion of Win7, I would bet you'd rather take it out back and set it on fire. Curious, are you still having the Adobe issue? *Edit: Just tried to copy from my paypal account to hotmail on same version win7 as you, wouldn't copy, but would copy to word. So I must agree 100% that MS screwed it up. **Edit2: see if you can change from rich text to plain text in gmail, got it to work like that in hotmail, (don't have a gmail account)
