  1. ^They painted the old watersides at Darien Lake during the Splashtown expansion a couple years ago. From what I could tell it's just like painting almost anything else. Sand(blast), prime, paint. It made the slides look just like new and hopefully it will do the same for soak city.
  2. ^That would make my day if I saw that! Unfortunately, my home park rarely gets a new coaster so I won't have that opportunity.
  3. ^Well, ya see... I have a dell mini 10v for school and I hackintoshed to run snow leopard, unfortunately I can't upgrade/hack it to lion.
  4. Please, by demolish I hope they mean carefully disassemble and sell. I love speed and it would be a great addition to a lot of parks.
  5. Now available at the TPR Game Exchange
  6. This summer I was in a situation at Darien Lake I will never forget. I was about to enter the station for Motocoaster when the girl in front of me tripped and fell head first into railing in the station. She rolled over and had a huge cut across her forehead and began severely bleeding. The crew couldn't touch her because of fear of blood born pathogens but I offered my towel out of by backpack and her friend pressed it to her forehead. It then took medical probably five minutes to get to her, but it felt like longer. I was just surprised that they didn't have gloves or proper medical equipment at the station in case of emergency.
  7. The gas truck running out of gas miles from the gas station, which is also out of gas, while you are currently out of gas miles from said gas station. What is worse than the off-season
  8. I think a woodie through the tunnel could be all sorts of awesome. I'm pretty sure that the clearances for a woodie would be similar to that of an arrow looper.
  9. ^Tough one, probably Darien Lake for me. Close to home and I have ideas for the park. Would you rather Darien lake tear down Mind Eraser and put up a B&M, or tear down Predator and build a GCI?
  10. That's what she said! Couldn't resist.
  11. Kinda funny seeing that huge lift hill piece on the trailer of that big truck. If I was driving and came across that I have no idea what I'd do... Be cool to see a coaster en route for delivery. I'm defiantly going to Canada's Wonderland next year, long overdue.
  12. ^ They could tear it down, but keep the tunnel. Build something else through it. That would be pretty cool.
  13. ^ Great reporting, yeesh! Somebody should let them know at Manta in Orlando is the just about the polar opposite of Manta at San Digo.
  14. This could be awesome! Especially after reading the Japan TRs on here it has me itching to go. I would defiantly participate if accepted. I will be keeping tabs on any further development.
  15. I just wanted to share some stuff I've done pretty recently. Random flowers at my friend's house. A leaf while hiking last week. Another Leaf The CN tower, I went to Toronto earlier this year. A very old Chevy... don't ask me the model. I don't know about cars. My old beagle. I'm currently shooting with a Pentax K-x
  16. Now I regret not doing Paddlewheel on my last (and only) stop at CP... I was too busy trying to get on the more thrilling rides on my short 1.5 day visit.
  17. Geezus! This thing is going up fast. I need to get my butt over to some of the European parks a.s.a.p.
  18. I have never been to Magic Mountain, but from POV videos Log Jammer looked like a real solid flume. Sad to see it go.
  19. It just fascinates me how few supports are holding up that lift hill! It's amazing that at one time the 200ft mark seemed difficult and now we are reaching 300' & 400' with ease. And will that trench drop to 310'? Levi is looking beautiful, looking forward to riding this next summer!
  20. I sent in my deposit about a month ago. I'm just wondering about a confirmation time/date? I just want to make sure that my money order actually got to you guys. Can't wait for new hotness!
  21. ^So on opposite day at least one thing will will make sense. If the moon is made of cheese, where are all the intergalactic space cows?
  22. Great PTR! And I think you are doing just fine with that DSLR! Looking forward to the next update.
  23. Vlingo is also available for iOS in the app store. I use it on my iPhone 4 and while it isn't nearly as good as Siri, it will get me by until a port is released.
  24. Thanks. And understood. Thanks for the clarification.
  25. Just out of curiosity, does the tapatalk iPhone app work with the forum? There is a tapatalk PHPBB plugin, which leads me to believe that the forum may be able to be made compatable with this app. I would just buy it and see if it already is, but TPR is the only forum I use and I don't want to buy an app that doesn't work. Money is tight, especially since I'm saving up for New Hotness. If anyone uses tapatalk with the forum please let me know. I will buy it in a heartbeat if I knew it was going to work.
