  1. ^ uh...agreed I drive a dark green 2002 Kia Optima, but I share it with my sisters. It has a nice little carhickey on the front where my sister scrapped against some beat up P.O.S honda civic. Also available for me to drive is a dark khaki 2006 Jeep Liberty. Sorry, no pics...
  2. oh god....poor granny If it were me in her shoes, I would smack the kid upside the head and tell him "SHUT THE **** UP AND STOP EATING SO MUCH FAT***!!" and you know, that probably is ACEs future
  3. So...Tech Schools are a yes...and I'm guessing any design classes I can get into in high school are good too. What's the employment rate for design companies? I know Gravity Group, for example, only has a group of 5 or so designers. Does that mean its relatively hard to be hired to be a part of a design firm?
  4. Darn...well atleast some activity has been going on. For a couple days they had a tarp over the station, maybe they were laying concrete or something of that sort for the station floor? Atleast thats potentially another train on the tracks!
  5. In other news...I definately see a full-completed train on the webcam right now. Is it the silver one? Do I sense testing beginning soon?
  6. I do hope they plan to repaint X-Firehawk. because I'm not sure how well green track will do with a "fire" theme. Unless its some cool chemical reaction and it has snot-green flames instead of the traditional orangeish/yellow. Either way, I'm glad the credit hasnt escaped me just yet. I'll still get to PKI on the Midwest trip!
  7. argh, what are you supposed to play the m4v file in? I tried windows media player but it doesnt work. Someone help my file-extension-ineducated soul...
  8. ^omg now THATS a nightmare! Better yet, someone photochop Rosie O'Donnell on there. With a midget Donald Trump on the table! "The Apprentice: Knightmare Edition!"
  9. The webcams are back! Not much progress on the station, but the Brass train is on the track!
  10. and my desire to go to the waterpark @ SFKK goes WAY up. I really like the colors, they're really vibrate and will be very noticable, so it'll probably be visually appealing in a way. Cant wait for it to open! umm...so i defiantely think TPR has had its first glitch...to my knowledge
  11. the fakeland security guards attacked! They knew that we had stolen (hope i just didnt change POV) the blueprints for fakelands new ride. However, no one could decipher the blueprints, so we had to turn to...
  12. ^^^Or they were just really stupid posts, My personal opinion of this whole thing is that this PARC company may have just bought the beginnings of its own park chain. Maybe someday it could rival Cedar Fair and SFI themselves. However, if PARC simply planes to turn around and sell all the land for real-estate in a year or 2 then consider my theory shut down & owned in the face.
  13. ^ I was originally number 5, but I was eaten by Godzilla looking for a substance that would increase airtime; GG dusted their tracks and denied any relation to me.
  14. ^^200? I hope none of mine were in there. I try to make a fair effort to be as grammatically/spellingly (?) correct as possible, but there are still times when I slip up, re-read my post, and say "oh crap, I better change that...". Consider that as me vouching for a bit of understanding in my posts
  15. I know, err... I think I know. What I was trying to say was how he went about writing the letter really kind of sucked, but it probably didnt have as much of an impact as some people who commented probably think. Also I wasnt really trying to put words in your mouth to strengthen my perspective, as I have no perspective. I was just trying to offer advice to both sides so as we dont have this big slam everytime someone says "I wrote a letter to a company I'm interested in and I didnt put 100% effort into it!" Good! I honestly think some of the young & immature (note I said immature, there are probably plenty of young mature kids out there who can handle all this) kids who are on here (ages 12-14) really may be getting a bit overexposed on here. I know its probably not as bad as I seem to be making it out to be, but there are times when I read a thread and think "Oh dear there are probably kids reading this!" And if the parents dont care, and let the kids log on and mess around when they're that age? Thats a problem. Look, all I'm trying to say is that young people, for the majority, dont take as much care in doing things as do adults, they/we havent been able to grow up and do the whole life lessons thing yet. Yes there is a fairly large margin that DO take care and have responsibility in their lives and actions, Geez I hope I fall under that group of people; I just think that there shouldnt be a grand outcry everytime someone slips up in doing something. There's a time to be viciously honest and critical, and there's also a time to be proactive and offer constructive criticism. I hope everyone here would think to follow the latter whenever they can... So, how many people are gonna be pissed at me this time around?
  16. I'm sorry us young people are so horrible... I can understand where everyone comes from on this, and I can understand the writers reason for sending in the letter. However I dont want to come in and bash the kid for trying to take action and get a view into the future. Yes I think it's bad that he wrote it in 3 minutes, but I'm sure are are other younger kids who spent less time with less inteligence who have written in a letter asking: "ZOMG WHEN IS TEH NEXT BIG COASTER LOL PUT A LOOP ON THE BIG WOOD ONE!!!" My point is that although it was a bit of a bad move to spend so little time on a letter, and maybe give off a bad rep for coaster enthusiasts, in reality, the PR (i think her name was Stacey) probably didnt think much of it. Just fill out a quick response and be done with it. I've written letters to companies before (i.e. Gravity Group & Premier) and only gotten like 1 paragraph answers -however I put some actual consideration into my letters-. So I think It's a common thing for amusement industry companies to write short answers and move along with their day. My advice to our concerned enthusiast friends- Chill, Unless he caught her on a really bad day, I doubt she will eternally hate coaster enthusiasts. Besides, we make sure she gets money, she cant hate us! My advice to our MIA fanboy (whom I have yet to hear from since he started the topic)- Dont worry about it, just take care to put a little more thought into your letter, remember its going to someone who can control where the amusement industry goes! Just trying to shine a little light on the subject, hope I didnt offend anyone
  17. Dear lord this thing is HUGE! That Immelmann looks like its going to be insane! I wonder how long itll take for them to complete the track. I hadnt heard much since the top-off, but it's good to know they're still working on it. Thanks for the link!
  18. ^^you've never been on a boomerang? Oh you're in for a sinus-clearer my objectives: ride Griffon @ BGE goto Hersheypark and enjoy the new water-attractions send in all the money required for the midwest trip ride the woodie going up @ Kemah Boardwalk make a photo TR of all of the above
  19. ...I'm not annoying, am I? (long pause) ...am I? I know what you mean though, I've seen some kids post just completely bogus things regarding what they think some certain element is on a ride (for anyone who read the Griffon press release topic, TROLLS). There have been times when I read a post and thought "Oh are you kidding, he did NOT just post that....." I think I may be getting on a few nameless peoples' nerves, and I'll do my best to tone down and not be as annoying, if I'm one of those people you speak of anyways.
  20. SAWEEEEEET!!! GGwoodie for Texas? YES PLEASE! This is going to be great. I always love when big name ride companies build rides for smalltime parks that dont have much amusement publicity. Now that Kemah has announced its new woodie, it's going to get much more well known, especially if wins best new ride for 2007 (though it has tough competition with maverick), which would realy plunge Kemah into the spotlight Do you think Kemah boardwalk knows what theyre getting into as far as publicity and crowds?
  21. Wow, I still cant believe how truly MASSIVE, this coaster will look when it's done. This will DEFINATELY be a trip for me once it's open... B&M Floorless + Vert Drop + 10 rows =
  22. found a funny lil video comparing Wii to the PS3 Enjoy
  23. omg the bat is smoking HOW AWESOME IS THAT???? @ 9 entrees for 6 people. For my thanksgiving, I ate a ton too! I mustave aten half a turkey, half a pound of stuffing, half my weight in bread rolls, and a helluvalotof other stuff. But man that Tryptophine whatever in the turkery knocked me out cold, I was in bed by 5! (we had early dinner since my aunt had other family coming) Anyways, nice TR and happy belated thanksgiving!
  24. Loch Ness Monster
  25. @ Freefall Jew "It's only like 50 feet. He'll only be doing 20...30...maybe 40mph!" I would type out the scream joey made to reminisce about its funnyness, but I dont even know what to type! God I wanna go ziplinining through belize...
