How is the ride line up this year? What is there? -
In two years of being right in guests faces, at their feet, harassing them, and all sorts of other stuff...I have yet to be hit. I have a theory on being hit at haunt events: 99% of the time monsters who do gvet hit are either (a) exaggerating to seem cool or (b) doing a whole hell of a lot more than just scaring to the point where they desere to get it. It's all about knowing when enough is enough. You might think it's funny as hell to be chasing the gang banger around (and it is), and you can tell yourself all you want that "he came to *insert Haunt attraction name here*, of course he's going to get scared," but if you don't move on when the guy is clearly getting irritated...you're getting hit.

Celebrities and Athletes you've met...
Jew replied to SixFlagsTexas's topic in Random, Random, Random
Between working at two (well, 3 if you count Haunt) theme parks and growing up on the set of the KTLA morning news...I've met so many celebs that I don't even think anything of it anymore. Off the top of my head I can think of: -Ashton Kutcher -Brad Pitt -Jim Carey -Jennifer Anniston -Gary Schandling -Screech, Mr. Belding, and Zack Morris -Little Bow Bow -Corey Feldman -Clark Kent's dad on Smallville -Hugh Hefner and some playboy bunnies -Lex Luthor on Smallville -Eric Karros, Chan Ho Park, and a bunch of other former Dodgers. -Tommy Lasorda -Weird Al -Dr J -Carson Palmer, Matt Lienart, Mike Williams...pretty much all the SC football players over the last 3 years -Mark Prior -Kelly Slater -Eric from that 70's show There's lots more...but I don't want to spend the rest of the night remembering ALL of them. -
Six Flags Magic Mountain Tatsu Flying Coaster

Ironic thing is, there was a lead test a while back that the new leads had to take that involved that sort of thing........ "While working at Log Jammer, you hear a loud explosion near Sky Tower and see it begin to lean toward you. What are your first actions? Followed by...... Sky Tower collapses and takes out Break 3.......(still don't know where that is really, the drop maybe?)......as well as the lake. What were you able to finish before then, and what do you wish you had done?" It was creepy, to say the least. Haha...I remember that test. That and the B:TR question made me laugh so hard. -Joey "tried so hard to fail that test (and Spin Out's) and they wouldn't let me" Mandel -
I don't know why, but that caption/picture really cracked me up... -Joey "used pro tools in school" Mandel

SFMM was built before the ADA was around. I'm pretty sure that means it is "grandfathered" in to not have to comply. That's how attractions like the Haunted Shack @ KBF were able to stay open without changes after the ADA was passed (even Disneyland took 10 years to get everything compliant!). However, I also know that when modifying any "grandfathered" building/show/ride/etc., the modifications have to be ADA compliant. I would guess that the construction qualifies as a modification, but I'm definitely not familiar enough with the ADA to know for sure! Hell, that hill might be all they need to be ADA compliant! -Joey "only knows the basics of the ADA" Mandel -
I <3 Haunt.

^^The Stanchion holes by Atom Smasher and the old Batmobile spot are for "Brutal Planet" during Fright Fest. Riddler's has stanchion holes that run from the entrance to behind the rock climbing wall and then back down towards the cantina. -Joey "used to set those up all the time" Mandel -
Vekoma Boomerang Has A Rollback?
Jew replied to PhishyBrewer's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
It's either getting pulled to somewhere it can complete the course or taken apart and put back together in the station. -
Six Flags Magic Mountain Tatsu Flying Coaster

Not really... Oh, and I believe blue tags with first and last names are for all fulltime employees of the park...but I don't remember for sure (even though I have one). Scream! is a Mirror Medusa @ SFGADv. -Joey "100 million dollars really isn't enough to fix SFMM" Mandel -
When you ride the Monorail you do get to see ride vehicles stored behind Indy! You can also see the cycle shop from the parking garage. Usually when a car is left by Scream! it's there to be sent away somewhere. The Goldrusher train you mention was sent to Premier rides (I think it was them at least) for a rehab.
