Good thing that I got out to Cali and rode Psyclone before it's gone from a Tsunami! Boy that was a close one! --Brian

I downloaded it from Easynews. It's not really my steez, but the guy is clearly a virtuoso. That actually may be not quite strong enough of a word. Amazing that I have never heard of him. You're right. That cat on the drums is kinda going off too.

Speaking of tattoos, you can check this guy's site online. He's arguably the most talented tattoo artist in the US. His name is Anil Gupta. Check him out. I've never seen such a remarkable ability to blend tattoo and flesh... shadowing.. IF I got a tat, he's the cat I'd get to do it. www.anilgupta.com Brian, who ain't feeling piercings, cause I WOULD feel them!

Banshee AKA Mantis.

I'm in it for the hot chicks.

"YOU KNOW WHAT??? THERE IS NO EASTER BUNNY!! OVER THERE, THAT'S JUST A GUY IN A SUIT!!!"

I didn't watch cause it said you had to be from the UK. I will just have to imagine...

Dis 'un. http://www.comzone.co.nz/sanyo-7400.aspx Still not really sure what I'm gonna use the video camera for. 30 seconds isn't long enough to uh.. uhhh 8)

I would highly recommend checking this out : http://travel.discovery.com/guides/video/coasters/coastervideos/extreme/extreme.html It includes a POV of Acrophobia at SFoG. Just keep in mind it's about 10x more frightening than that shows. Enjoy!

3d Studio Max, I believe it was done by the Badnitrus guys, they started their own company to expand their talents. Close. It was done by one guy, Keith McVeen. While Badnitrus was started by Keith and also eventually had Mike Semtak help out, this was all Keith. Generally speaking, Keith does everything. I'm not even sure what, if anything, Mike does anymore.

Based simply on being a gimmicky ride with a somewhat uncomfortable ride and not having longterm appeal with the GP, I actually think Flyers are the new standup. Floorless are the new sitdown loopers, IMO. Brian, not even able to picture a custom Flyer I'd have a desire to come back out to SFMM for.

More "Flying Carpet" rides for you guys then, huh?

The worst B&M or the best Morgan (cept for Phantom)?

Dood, I'm psyched. Tron lightcycles were the lick, and also my bane on the arcade game.

As far as Intamin vs. B&M, here's my thoughts. If it can be a RoS (SFNE version) or an EGF type coaster, then I clearly want that. A SFDL or SFA clone of RoS is not preferred over a B&M. I've ridden all the stateside B&M hypers and all the Intamins other than Darien Lakes, and while I highly enjoy the Intamin Supermen, the 3rd hill is really the only noteworthy element. Rankwise here ya go : SFNE RoS Apollo's Chariot Raging Bull (minus that annoying trim on the 3rd hill) SFA RoS Nitro

I would be HIGHLY shocked if Hurricane Harbor came. You're talking about creating it from basically the ground up. Skull Mtn. is NOT, from what I gather, going to be a full on water park.

I'm not entirely sure that I've ever, in fact, heard a worse song in my life.

Coaster on the left. A hot girl beckons me right. Chooses girl each time.

The most glaring omission from oG's lineup is a large, lengthy (2:00+ ride time) coaster. It's clear that a hyper can satisfy both needs. Everyone has heard the grumblings (especially if you frequent Screamscape) that 2006 could be the year. That said, and without getting into my sources, I'd like to know FROM THOSE OF YOU THAT HAVE BEEN TO SIX FLAGS OVER GEORGIA where, if it's in the cards, you would place it. My PERSONAL desire would be for them to rip out the Batman Stunt Show, connect Gotham City to Lickskillet (where Deja Vu currently sits collecting dust) behind Thunder River. This effectively de-emphasizes how ridiculously steep the "Hill o' Doom" descending into Gotham City from USA is because you would allow people alternative ways into that area. Then you've provided an excellent area to place your hyper coaster in an area of the park which is close to the lowest lying land in the park (apparently where GASM resides is THE lowest). You could take the track into, or flirt with the trees surrounding Thunder River. All that to say this : If you're GM of this park, and taking a look at this... http://www.sixflags.com/parks/overgeorgia/pdf/map.pdf Tell me where you would put the hyper. Again, I'm really only interested IF you have been to the park at least once so you can speak intelligently about topography. Some other popular ideas or potential locations are : Ripping out Ninja and placing the hyper over water (wishful thinking, but likely too expensive) Making use of the lower terrain in the back of the park, but Collosus'izing GASM. Putting the station in the middle of the park, necessitating the removal of the Parachute Drop (Great Gasp) and having the station start there, increasing traffic to the little used area in the middle. By the way, Screamscapes last rumor involves removing Ninja for a custom Floorless, but for now, let's leave that out of the equation and talk hypers, ok? Thoughts?

Well Robb, it IS a helluva perk! Brian, who wonders if that's why he never bothered to join ACE.

Legend (#2 rated overall) Raven (top 10) Hoosier Hurricane (surprising out-n-back fun family coaster (top 20)) Cornball (I was a victim of anticipointment. CE is too seat specific (top 20)) LoCoSuMo (very fun for what it is.. a mine train style coaster By the way, those turns are not taken at astronomical speeds on Lost Coaster, but they're taken fast enough for some spine adjustment therapy.

I like feet. 8)

Might wanna enjoy the Parachute Drop (Great Gasp) soon if you haven't already.

From pictures that I've seen, the Williams Grove Cyclone looks like it's on it's way out the door. Brian, needs to go to PA soon!

Is there a way to "bank" any of this "community service" in case I get in trouble in the future? Judge : You have been sentenced to 200 hours of community service for disorderly conduct (streaking in public). Me : Sweet! Can I use these 3 hours I got saved up?? Judge : :? *pounds gavel*
