Well you sexually objectified someone in the comments section of a show specifically about what a crappy thing it is to do.

yeah man we're awful. go hang out somewhere else. literally nobody here thinks you're intelligent or cool. none of us want you around.

nobody wants you here.

yeah that was a Paramount thing. when they sold their parks to Cedar Fair, CF cut that out.

yeah, that's the one. there is an identical one at Kings Dominion. back when it opened, it had over the shoulder retraints and banged your head around. since then, it's been renamed "flight of fear" (cedar fair lost the rights to Outer Limits), and the horsecollar restraints were replaced with soft lap bars, and

mantis is still there. they merely put floorless sit-down trains on it instead of stand-up trains. (and renamed it)

Gemini is not a wooden coaster. it is a steel coaster with tubular steel track. only the supports are wooden.

no, it's not. it's garbage. There are many much much better woodies around the country.

Mean Streak sucks really really bad, and it is making a whole region of the country mistakenly think that wooden coasters suck! there are some AMAZING wooden coasters being built around the country. unfortunately, for some reason, Cedar Fair and Cedar Point in particular is really missing the boat.

your mistake was going to Six Flags, it's the Yugo of amusement parks.

coasters, even the wooden ones, have upstop wheels — that is, wheels on top of and underneath the track. they can't come off the track unless the wheel assemblies fall apart.

Millennium Force is like riding a rainbow made of butter compared to Maverick. MF is tall, but it really doesn't do much in terms of G-forces or airtime. Maverick is much more aggressive.

hey i just wanna say to any Cedar Fair personnel — thanks for bring the Singing Mushrooms back to Kings Dominion! (and thanks also for Intimidator 305, the best and most intense coaster on Earth)

those are wonderful ideas! i hope they come to fruition!

Drachen Fire was very interesting in terms of layout and elements, but the ride experience was a disaster. worse than Anaconda at Kings Dominion, worse than Flight of Fear back when it had the over-the-shoulder restraints. Every coaster BGW has built since Drachen Fire has been a million times better.

Cedar Fair could charge a hefty admission fee to watch Mean Streak's demolition. there's a lot of people that would love to cheer that thing's destruction.

VR on a roller coaster is a dead end, for a variety of reasons. I speak from experience - Six Flags America in Maryland currently has VR on their premier coaster, Superman: Ride of Steel. the experience itself is alright. i mean, it's kind of cool and interesting, but there are a number of drawbacks:

Dave Mustaine? oh my god you ruined your post.

no way is the money gone. Greg couldn't realistically have spend more than half a million on all that glitz. $10,000,000 buys a fuck of a lot more dancing hotel staff and steaks than that.

i guess my assumption is that gem culture on homeworld is so rigid and structured and oppressive that nothing as organic as romantic love has a chance to blossom. there may not be such a thing as "behind closed doors" for all we know. everything seems to go "wrong" when gems arrive on Earth. suddenly Rose has
