harper83087 Posted June 28, 2011 Share Posted June 28, 2011 Is the procedure the same for Top Thrill Dragster? Because a lot of the time TTD's message doesn't even play, or it only plays the first couple of words, or it plays the message twice. I have a good friend who worked TTD for the past couple of years and from what I understand the operator has a button for "Arms Down". Once everybody on the train is cooperating then they start the launch sequence with "Keep your arms down, head back and hold on", TTD doesn't really have a *speech* but it does have the christmas tree. But once you hear/feel the dog click under the train you're free to throw your arms up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The switch turns on and off the effects, one button says "Arms Down" and the other resets the spiel. As far as I know, Dragster is the only Intamin Accelerator with a separate controls and launch person. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coasterfreak101 Posted June 29, 2011 Share Posted June 29, 2011 Sure! Here's the business card they sent me. And it just has a white back, before anybody goes crazy trying to find a clue back there! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FaithnotForgotten Posted June 29, 2011 Share Posted June 29, 2011 Today my ride lead (Manger sort of) Kept making an announcement to the whole Stormrunner station, that it was my eighteenth birthday, he then continued to lead the whole station into singing "Happy Birthday" to me. He only did it two more times after that, and then when I was working front line I kept having random people saying Happy Birthday to me, pretty funny day!

dilloncsr Posted June 29, 2011 Share Posted June 29, 2011 ^^^^ Just curious.... How did you get them to mail you something? I signed up on the contact page for LaMarcus Bros but it only asks for Name and Email address... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HappyEisentrout Posted June 29, 2011 Share Posted June 29, 2011 I received a LaMarcus Bros shirt, XL unfortunately, and a magnetic business card. Nothing seemed like a clue though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alpengeistfan1 Posted June 29, 2011 Share Posted June 29, 2011 I'm going to Hershey sometime next month, and I want to know how crowded is it during the week days? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FaithnotForgotten Posted June 30, 2011 Share Posted June 30, 2011 Right now in June during the weekdays, we have the back car roped off on Stormrunner, and Fahrenheit has about a 10 minute wait, hope that helps! Also hope to see you at the park sometime! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

QueerRudie Posted July 1, 2011 Share Posted July 1, 2011 I got my package from Hershey Entertainment and Resorts today... and I'm thrilled! A neon-green LaMarcus Bros shirt and a LaMarcus Bros Magnet! There's just one -little- problem...And that's the problem. It's a wee-bit too small- I'm a XL/2Xl, and I got a Medium! No matter- I might look like a stuffed sausage, but I'm still going to wear my LaMarcus Bros shirt- with PRIDE! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

QueerRudie Posted July 1, 2011 Share Posted July 1, 2011 I wear a medium and got an XL, hmm That's funny, I got an XL and I wear a medium. I'd say it was a clue- but that might make me paranoid, obsessive-compulsive, or completely and utterly befuddled by this campaign- (Or it means I'm getting too fat again. One or the other.)

Tmcdllr Posted July 1, 2011 Share Posted July 1, 2011 Hmm, XL=extra large=really big coaster? Yup could totally be a clue! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coasterfreak101 Posted July 1, 2011 Share Posted July 1, 2011 Am I the only one that got a ticket instead of a shirt? Seems weird... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QueerRudie Posted July 1, 2011 Share Posted July 1, 2011 Am I the only one that got a ticket instead of a shirt? Seems weird... It appears that quite a few people got the Magnet/Ticket, and some of us got shirts and magnets- I'm sort of thinking that the ticket was the 'prize' for doing something right- and the shirt was a consolation prize (Rice a roni, if you understand that reference). In other news: here's the completed puzzle, from Keystone Thrills (Posted today). I'm pretty sure there's a clue buried in this- but where it is, I don't quite know yet. I'm thinking that it's a portal clue (We have to decode something to open another site, for example). R.D. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ahecht Posted July 1, 2011 Share Posted July 1, 2011 I think the LaMarcus Brothers site was the portal clue we were supposed to get from that study. The last piece doesn't seem to contain any useful information. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tmcdllr Posted July 1, 2011 Share Posted July 1, 2011 Pearlite.... Ledeburite.... Hmm... This pic only seems to be showing 3 colored characters now in this order... yellow 2 yellow V blue m I thought the last time I looked at it there were several other characters and more colors. Now it's just these three in yellow and blue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
