This is a brilliant idea. Would love to see this implemented. dt

Anyone that's never been on this crap pile has no idea how bad it is. Retracking can certainly help. If by "retracking" you mean "tear it down and melt it down and replace it with anything" because this ride is among the worst on Earth. Seriously, this money could be better spent on just about anything. dt

Joe Satriani - Big Bad Moon dt

It likely won't change a lot of peoples' minds. A lot of people out there just like cheap crap, and don't care about the quality of the product. Anyone with any sense that's ever been on a Carnival cruise will realize it is one of the worst products on Earth, and yet when you tell people this (as many of us did after our Klassy Kruise last year), all sorts of people will suddenly appear to defend the cruise line, mainly because it's cheap. People might see a report like this and think about it for a minute, but then will just book a cruise on this hellhole cruise line because it's a few dollars cheaper than something a lot better. People are dumb. dt

Royal Hunt - River Of Pain dt

I still don't see one of these getting built in the US unless it's trimmed/braked to death and has OTSRs. Too many forces for the US audience that is just not used to them. dt

^I'm betting Lord Humongous would not tolerate one train operations... dt

Could be worse. They could have used this.

To be fair, a random dumpster is a more entertaining option that SFA... dt

This is the sort of quality thinking I approve of. dt

^Another winner! I'll play...

Savatage - The Dungeons Are Calling dt

Yes, every day of that Scandi trip was amazing fun, even when we were wet and freezing. Cannot wait until we can do it again next year! dt

^Winner! dt

I am stunned by this revelation! dt

^Yeah, they will sell a ton of these. Smart move on their part. dt

The blackout totally had an effect on the game. It gave the 49ers a half hour to get organized and (more importantly) gave the Ravens players a half hour to sit around and think to themselves "we've got this". And as we've seen all through the playoffs, and even in the first half of this game, unless you're playing as hard as you can against the 40ers, you will lose. Are they a good team? Yes. Are they a great team? Not quite. I have said all along they are a year or so away from winning a SB. Look at how the Ravens dominated them during the first half of that game. No blackout, and I don't think the Ravens ever slack off, at least not that soon. Sure, I have no psychic powers and cannot read minds, but saying it had "nothing" to do with it is crap. I'd have much rather seen the Steelers or Packers in the SB, but I was happy to see the team from my town win. They almost didn't, and they almost gave the game away from being complacent far too early. Any team playing the 49ers next year better realize they are one of those teams that is NEVER out of it, and you cannot ever feel like you've beat them until the clock runs out. dt

^I liked seeing Odenkirk show up in a commercial, as he always amuses. I thought that commercial got a lot better when he showed up. dt
