^I'm going to go out on the father of all limbs and say the kid seriously believed that.

So the Intamin Cable is disguising itself as a deer now?

Does anyone know on average how much Quick Queue cuts back on wait time for rides? Planning on going sometime between July 1st-3rd, do the lines get really bad? (Is Quick Queue necessary then?) I was there July 2nd a few years back and the lines weren't too bad (20 minutes for Griffon, 30 minutes for Apollo's Chariot) but I've always wondered if I was just lucky.

It was also linked in a recent tragedy in the Jersey Shore... Something about a shark attack and Joey Fatone.

[simaticable]

^I thought it destroyed part of a pier during that incident.

[jedimaster1227]

^The Intamin Cable is a creature of countless indecencies.

Syfy was able to capture the creature mid-attack in a recent televised documentary regarding the creature's reign of terror along the Jersey Shore.

The Intamin cable is jealous of the "Year of Zierer" and will do anything to stop it.

[ernierocker]

This is one of my favorite threads right now.

I wonder if we can get Robb to have the hosting company display a picture of a deer eating a cable everytime the site has a random outage?

[omgitsmatt93]

Im wondering if anyone else noticed that for a "black forest" most of verbolten is pretty barren of landscaping. Do you think they will add trees or something, or just wait a couple years for it to grow in?

of a deer eating a cable

First of all, I said Deer, as in more than one, and wire. Not a cable.

 

Honestly where do you get this.

[cfc]

^Are you sure it wasn't this guy instead of a deer?

 

[TXman308]

^^The Intamin Cable is multiplying. Run for the hills!!!!

Holy sheet....that's just creepy!

 

And this thread just keeps getting better.

Just let it go, kid. Just let it go.

I'm pretty sure he was being sarcastic with that.

What is the "plural word" of deer?

[cfc]

^One deer. Two deer.

 

One dear. Two dears.

I literally just got back home from enjoying a Kings Dominion/Busch Gardens trip and got three rides on Verbolten in the two days I was at BGW, I would have had four if it didn't have a big breakdown yeasterday afternoon (and I was next in line for a front seat ride as well). Overall it's a very good ride, a worthy replacement for Big Bad Wolf despite the little hiccups it's been having.

 

However I'd like to take a wrecking ball to Mach Tower, which was down both days I was there.

[coasterfreak101]

The only thing you missed out on for Mach Tower is the view from up top. Aside from that, there's no arm room and the seats don't shake like they're supposed to, and half of my rides were even music-less - at that point it's just a generic drop tower, and Drop Zone is certainly better.

[cfc]

^I agree that Drop Zone is a better ride. The best feature of Mach Tower is the rotation on the way up (esp. during Christmas Town). As for the "vibrating seat" gimmick, I think it's better without it (makes the drop more of a surprise).

 

No idea what's been wrong with Mach Tower this week. It was running OK last weekend.

I realize that Intamin is basically the king of the drop towers (and KD's Drop Tower is quite a potent ride) but I still would have liked to have tried something from a different manufacturer, even if it was for the view alone. Griffon made up for it with its stunning view as you crest the lift hill.

Deer?

[alpengeist04]

The funny thing is, last year we had a 30 minute delay when waiting for Apollo because there were deer inside the fenced in area. At least that's what they said over the intercom.

[cfc]

There are deer all over that park.

 

Nah, deer can't get to Mach Tower. Commando squirrels, on the other hand . . .
