wagnor power painters sure get the paint sprayed on fast.

I don't understand why you keep having all of these issues. I have Win7 deployed on 100 nodes and none of the issues you've been blessed with have cropped up. Maybe Bill Gates found out you had an IPhone. serioulsy, if you go to a command prompt type sfc /scannow if that doesn't fix the issue, you've got something going on in the install process or some program that's common between the two computers that's latched on and provided you with some less than desired fun. malwarebytes is the best program (free) out there to clean up less than desired fun.

If those numbers are correct, and they don't seem too unreasonable, that money could surely go towards some flat rides. If bought on ITAL, they could easily get two new/used flat rides each year, even if it isn't a screamin swing or Huss attraction. But, knowing what the new Six Flags boards has been up to of late, they will most likely bank the money so that it looks better for their stock.

the die hard enthusiast would rent a helicopter to take ariel photos. So, if anyone wants to rent the helicopter, I'll take the photos.

The bigger question is, would anyone insure a wooden coaster with no working fire suppression system? No insurance carrier would touch the former Admiral Twin Drive-in (Movie Theatre), a wooden structure, due to not having a fire suppression system, and just a few months ago, it burned to the ground. Another piece of Americana lost and no money to rebuild. hmmm, that sounds familiar.... edit: maybe Kat should start looking here for help

Awesome! Yet another reason to stay away from the crowds and holiday shop online!

^ at least with that scenerio the speed record would make it's way back to the USA

^^ Don't worry, they've already had a few people say that over there and it wasn't taken with kind replies. ^ Burning it down would be cheaper. Any well written contract to purchase big ticket items (not just related to coasters) should have the buyer responsible for it's complete removal, regardless of who or how it's done, otherwise, there is no real incentive for the purchaser to get it the hell gone. And I doubt $384 will pay for more than 2 dumpsters. As a bonus, the GL fans can get together for their monthly cookout and BBQ without the need to haul in grills.

This last challenge reminded me a lot of the "Race Game" on The Price is Right where: From Wiki: The contestant is shown four prizes and given four price tags the correspond to those items. The contestant places a tags on each prize and pulls a lever on a prop, which then displays the number of correctly-placed tags. If the number displayed is less than four, the contestant may rearrange the price tags and repeat the process, without knowing which ones are correct. The contestant has 45 seconds to place all four tags correctly. If time expires and the contestant has not placed all four tags correctly, he wins the prizes he has correctly priced at that point. Well done on keeping up, Eric. Drew Carey should hire you. Great way to spice up a bag o crap giveaway!

Here is a very interesting article detailing the daily maintenance the is required on Winja that I ran across while doing ride research. I completed a TPR site search and did not see it posted previously. Winja Daily Maintenance Article The icon arrow to flip to the next page is top right

school is out soon, we should have an update mid-December

^^ some people would complain if they were being hung with a new rope. I rather enjoy the value I get for the price paid at SF. It encourages me to spend more in the park especially as often as I've visited their parks this year. Normally, I'll buy a souvenir or the likes to go along with a snack or meal, but at the current SP price level I'll splurge from time to time on a flash pass, a ride photo, or some other something that I wouldn't normally do.

so, I have to ask, does anyone know if Prince Desmond was cut out of the air duct? If not, next year's IAAAPAA may have a weird smell...

^ good one

hmmmm....terminator or prowler,terminator or prowler,terminator or prowler,terminator or prowler,terminator or prowler,terminator or prowler,terminator or prowler,terminator or prowler,terminator or prowler,terminator or prowler,terminator or prowler,terminator or prowler,terminator or prowler,terminator or prowler,terminator or prowler,terminator or prowler,terminator or prowler,terminator or prowler,terminator or prowler,terminator or prowler,terminator or prowler...

What's a Mega Dick-O? Oh wait, never mind, I just looked down

Or like SeaWorld - San Antonio, wristbands, cheap, very cheap to produce. Could take that a step further and utilize a system similar to Morey's with the barcoded wristbands thus eliminating any potential for lost/damaged products and the need to have people stationed at the point of purchase to accept returns. Utilizing existing infrastructure throughout the park, or, secure wireless, it would be a cash cow. The obvious downside to the bar codes would be in reservations which could be resolved by scanning your wristband and receiving a ride time at the ride or by having kiosks (basically a reader mounted to a poll or building like at walmart or target) where you can scan and select your ride. Less convenient, sure. Come to think of it, scarp most of the last idea, barcode readers would only be used to verify eligibility. SeaWorld wristbands work better in the cheap category. Ahh, but here we go, they could pull a SFA and sell 5, 10, 15, 20, unlimited skip the lines with the barcoded wristband increasing their potential profit.

That's one sexy track, thanks Dave! I think I would opt for the eye protection, personal pref

They had basically nothing at their booth. Not even anything worthy to take a booth photo of. This is very disappointing, hope they have some stuff in the pipe as they are one of my favorite flat makers. BTW Robb, if you happen to be over by the giant inflatable outdoor things, would you mind letting Prince D out of the air vent, or, at the very least, give him a fresh cell phone battery?

I nerded out on the QBot segment, totally awesome products they are introducing. Q-Credit will rule. ^ he was probably affraid he was going to get put on the spot about the track that's coming down.

October so far is the only month I haven't been to SFOT this year, and honestly, the idea that the wheels would somehow hit connecting plate bolts never entered my mind seeing the track up close.(Besides, millions of dollars in R&D, highly trained and experienced engineers and designers, all = they know what they are doing, and I, having none of the forementioned experienced place 100% trust in them) Not sure how these types of conversations even get started to be honest. The only thing thus far that has intrigued me as far as the track itself is to see up close and in person how they will close the gap between the transfer track and main track, and that's only because I will find it interesting. The layout still looks awesome and I hope to be there on media day. This ride is going to kick some serious booty.

Thanks for Q-Credit Lo-Down Robb!!

WOW! The new Sally concept looks AMAZING! I want one!! Also found interesting that they are planning to send trains down the revamped Giant in about a month, by my uneducated calculations that could possibly be immeditaley after the park closes for their two month hiatus, maybe, just maybe, they will have the cars on track the final weekend...

^ wish I could go that often, or close enough to go that often...
