Never Ending Pointless Thread

[Truth Seeker]

It's national roller coaster day!

[Austin]

Well.. lets see.. I have a tremendous amount of books and I have no idea what I'm supposed to do. Lol

Ive read 1 chapter of the US history book and another section in Chapter 2 which Im supposed to be finished with by tomorrow morning. Ive done half the assignment for Intro to College. Just need to send the teacher an email for the other half. I need to read a 25 page chapter on microeconomics. And I'll need to start reading chapter 1 of my interpersonal comm book over the weekend.

Im really feeling stressed out now. I might not do 4 classes next semester.

[say hi]

issue with your book?

I had ad design and the intro to the visual communication program...class? which from what i can tell the first one will just be an adobe illustrator class. and the latter seems to dabble in photoshop, digital film making, and art... it all seems pretty neat. anybody have a copy of photoshop for mac i can borrow :p

[Austin]

Lol I only have the windows version but I think its only for 2 computers.

Well I technically have an issue with the history book. She wants us to have the 6th edition concise. we got the next edition non concise. She had a reading plan for the book for her version so none of us know what to do with ours.

[Austin]

Lets see.. Awesome day yesterday. I spent $300 on computer upgrades. Half of which went toward buying a new 21.5" LED Full HD Dell monitor. Another 100 on a new mid-range video card to replace my defective one that crashed every time I played a game. And to go along with those 2 and get the best picture and experience, a $30 HDMI cable. Winning!

Plus on Sunday I bought a new Wireless Router to replace a defective Linksys one. Its like 2x better than the old one was supposed to be and is a pretty highly rated one and I only had to spend $80 on it. And I get dual band wireless n. One band for videos and games, the other for internet and other stuff. I haven't installed it yet but really, This computer and network at my house is like professional top of the line quality :D

^Do you guys go to the same school or something

[Austin]

No. Me and Say Hi do. Well sort of. Hes at my campus 2 days a week.

[Jp]

^Do you guys go to the same school or something

I go to a School in the Austin Texas area, lol Last year BABY!!

[say hi]

Never ending pointless thread made the homepage!

Rejoice in its awesomeness. :party: :party: :party: :beerchug:

[Austin]

Haha one of the oldest running threads deserves to be there :p

In other news, I have finally finished 1 chapter in each book for school. Now just 9 more economic book chapters by Oct 1. And 3 more communications chapters by that time and I have no idea about US History til I get my book.

[say hi]

That's a lot of reading! I have two chapters to read by monday in art along with taking notes to turn in.. bleh.

[Austin]

Yeah haha. I guess I can do it but I'll have to read like 1 1/2 chapters to 2 chapters of economics a week and a chapter or so of communications.

Now I'm glad I didn't get a job because this is insane.

[say hi]

I'm saying every Friday will be my homework day. and I actually stuck to that today, I only have one more chapter to read and already got a short paper done for visual comm. one week down...lots more to go.

[say hi]

and the weekend is over again.....AHHHH!!

[tribar]

^Exactly how i feel. Time to "say hi" to another week of school (Sorry I had too)

[Austin]

Well... Congratulations Libyans! You have finally gotten rid of one of the worlds most vile leader. Now if we can get Kim Jon Il, The 2 whack jobs in Iran, and Chavez this world might not be so screwed up.

[David]

VIVA LIBYA! I'm wearing my Qadafi shirt tomorrow to celebrate! :)

Also, pulling an all nighter just cause. :)

[Austin]

Wow having no internet really sucked! But I think we got it fixed finally. Haha.

[nitrofan]

Who else felt the earthquake?

[Austin]

I had no idea we had one til I was told that it was felt all the way over here.

[nitrofan]

I had no idea we had one til I was told that it was felt all the way over here.

So some people could feel it all the way in KY? Wow

[Austin]

Yeah. I was busy working on the website and then I looked at my phone and I had a text from the news and it said a 5.9 earthquake in Virginia felt in multiple states across the east coast including Kentuckiana. No reports of damage.

Kentuckiana is basically Louisville and the 2 small cities in southern Indiana that sit across from Louisville.

[Jp]

There was two Earthquakes in the US. One in Virgina and the other in Colorado!

Austin earthquake unlikely, but possible

AUSTIN (KXAN) - With two unusual and unexpected earthquakes to hit North America in the same day, it raised questions whether Central Texas was also vulnerable.

Watch to see more here:

[Austin]

I really hate my internet company. They shut down the internet repair last night again but this time at 10PM instead of the usual midnight time period.

[say hi]

@Austin Do you have insight? I haven't really had any issues with them...in fact the service has been pretty awesome since I got it.

ITS THE WEEKEND!

[tribar]

^Exactly how i feel

About the weekend not the internet

[Austin]

Yeah we have insight. Theyre supposed to be coming again today. This is like the 5th time we have made them come out here.

The last person that was here said they had alot of the same calls from our neighborhood and that there was a problem with the main line in our neighborhood. Its just getting ridiculous now. They shut the internet off this time at 8:30. We better not have to pay for this month.

[Austin]

So apparently I'm going to have these issues til at least Tuesday. Smh..

But in postive news, We killed the new #2 in Al Qaeda. Which is important in the fact that the guy ran the day to day operations and basically kept the group together for the past 2 years. I've read that Leon Panneta thinks that just a few more major kills to their organization and they will effectively be destroyed.

Though the Command & Conquer Generals series has to leave me questioning this. If we do "destroy" them (as in the USA defeating the GLA - Global Liberation Army (terrorists)) What happens if they come back because we felt they weren't as much of a threat anymore? (As in the expansion pack called Generals: Zero Hour)

Of course they would likely spread and multiple groups formed. Weaker groups at that.

[Cole]

Only one more week of Iron Wolf...

[Jp]

I think I like block sceduals! Since I only go to school for 5hrs!!

[Austin]

Oh my god.... I seriously am about to go insane. I get home today and I get on my computer and about 30 minutes later the computer shuts down and then restarts. It gets past the Dell load screen then where the Windows screen is its black and in the top corner there is just a white line blinking.

If this is a hard drive error.... fml.

:(

[Jp]

Got board in my accounting class today. So I told myself lets draw. So I drew what I though in my head. There was alot of other things I wanted in this picture, but I think it is to hard for me! (That what he said)!

http://i192.photobucket.com/albums/z263/jpp858/Mobile%20Uploads/Photo0300.jpg?t=1314674204
Yess it is Superman at Fiesta Texas, a Skyscream either at SFStL or SFDK, and a random wooden coaster that has Fiesta Texas on the bottom of FLAGS! I know I am not done, If you have any ideas what I should but on it or something to make better! Please tell me!

[Jp]

^ I have added fireworks for Lone Star Nights and countries on the globe for SkyScreamer!

I am really going to get upset if Fiesta Texas don't get Skyscreamer!

[tribar]

^What if they get that Terrain Wingrider coaster you wanted

[Jp]

I guess I got screwed. lol Sorry for my language!

[nitrofan]

I just got power and water back after Irene!

[Jp]

I was just wondering, why you wasn't posting! lol I wish Texas got the Hurricane!

[Austin]

Lol congratulations. Much damage around your house?

[nitrofan]

^^Yep, that's why.

Lol congratulations. Much damage around your house?

We had some minor damage, but we had lots of down trees and just a huge mess to deal with in our yard. Our water and power were out since saturday, so that's what caused most of the inconveniences...

[Austin]

Sounds pretty good.

I'm watching alot of shows on 9/11. I just got one great quote from George Bush.

“Eventually, Sept. 11 will be another date on the calendar, like Pearl Harbor Day. For those of us who lived through it, it will be a day we’ll never forget.”

That couldn't be any closer to the truth

[David]

Watch Loose Change. That'll change your perspective..

[Austin]

Sorry but its very obvious that this wasn't a inside job.

And no evidence exists to prove it as an inside job.

[David]

Oh really.. no evidence? What evidence proves it was Al-Qaeda?

[Austin]

Have you been living in a cave?

A. They recruited 4 young men, close to my age, from Hamburg Germany to conduct a Jihad mission against the US.

B. Al Qaeda attempted to take down the WTC in 1993 with a truck bomb that failed.

C. KSM's relative was arrested in Philipines after a bomb he was making exploded in his kitchen. His laptop he was carrying carried all the details of planned operations. Which included plans to hijack planes and crash them into targets in America.

D. Osama said many times he plans to attack America.

E. Osama made multiple videos claiming responsibility for the attack

F. Al-Qaeda had stepped up its attacks in recent years. AKA Black Hawk Down, USS Cole, Bombing of embassy in Africa (forgot the country).

I could continue but as you can see, the ground work was long in place.

And really, Bush planning such a complex operation in less than a year after his inauguration? Come on. His staff and his military advisers who would have planned this False Flag attack couldn't even plan a war in Afghanistan and Iraq.

[Austin]

Just finished watching Rising: Rebuilding Ground Zero

Words just do not describe this 3 hour masterpiece. I can't wait to finally stand at that memorial where the footprints were next spring and get a sense of closure.

[tribar]

Oh really.. no evidence? What evidence proves it was Al-Qaeda?

Nope. Your right. Al Qaeda is just made up. Just like the Twin Towers never stood. SERIOUSLY?????????????????

[Austin]

Thank you. Haha

[tribar]

Haha your welcome.

How to people live in Texas. I could not deal with that heat all the time

[Austin]

New computer = amazing! Can't wait to get my information from the old put on the new one. And subsequently getting back to worjk on the site.

[nitrofan]

Haha your welcome.

How to people live in Texas. I could not deal with that heat all the time

I used to live in Texas. Southern heat never really bothered me that much....until I moved to the north! Now I complain when it gets above 80 just like everybody else. I guess I'll never be able to live in the south again. lol

[tribar]

^IMO 80 Degrees is about the worst tempeture ever. Some people might think it's nice but i don't. Usually the AC in my house won't get turned on if it's going to be 80 for one day and cooler the next days. Plus theme parks can be crowded but it's also hot. When you get to 90-95 alot of people go to the waterpark.

[Austin]

80 is great lol. It was 101 today and tomorrow its going to drop to 82. I hate being outside in 100 degree heat.

80s is a nice departure from 100s lol.

[Jp]

Haha your welcome.

How to people live in Texas. I could not deal with that heat all the time

Hey your talking about me! But I really can't STAND Texas weather it is freakin Bi-polar. My family got a citation from the HOA the other day cause our grass is dead. I told my parents WTF do they want us to do? If we water our grass we get a citation for watering and if we don't we get a citation! lol stupid people now days!!.
Texas needs rain BBBBBBBBBBBBBAAAAAAAAAAAAADDDDDDDDDDDDDD!!!!!!!!!! !!!! Let it RAIN PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:raincloud::raincloud::rainc loud::raincloud:

[nitrofan]

Austin does water restrictions too? I thought that was just a San Antonio thing.

[say hi]

Austin does water restrictions too? I thought that was just a San Antonio thing.

If we get severe drought like conditions here they'll order to limit usage on water..i don't think it's happened too often though.

It's sad that the weather was cooler in August than it has been in September so far here. The past two days have been ridiculous.

[Austin]

We got a few restrictions over the past couple of years. Nothing too bad. Just like "dont water your grass" and stuff like that. Doesn't bother me because we never water our grass.

[Jp]

Yes Austin enter the 2nd stage for water retriction this past week. The town I live in (the next city above Austin) has been under stage two since two weeks!! ITS JUST TO HOT!!

[Austin]

Lol I cant believe I typed free restriction.

Meant to type few. Oh well, we get fire restrictions on burning leaves, grass limbs etc. but we still burn anyway. Too much stuff to try and get rid of int he trash.

[Jp]

Well when I was coming home from Fiesta Texas (btw PTR coming later!!) and I got a call while I was at the park (that I didn't answer) and it was about FIRES all around Austin! :shocked:

I live like a 5 min drive from one of the fires in northeast ellivergulfp (NOTE: I miss spelled my cities name, cause I don't want stakers lol)

Oops. Hi.

[nitrofan]

Saturday it was high 80s. Yesterday was 65. Now it's 60. ughh.

Upper 50s today. It felt like it should be November!

[Austin]

This weather sucks! Sunday it was 102 and then today it was only 67. :(

All this rain and cold weather has me entirely fatigued.

[Jp]

On Monday was our first time not reaching over 100 degrees in days since over 80 something days(Austin Record). We wont see the over 100 mark until next week!!

Since Monday we been in the 90's and people tell me at school how chilly/cold it is. lol

[Jp]

Just got into a fender bender at school... =O

[nitrofan]

Too bad that Nate turned away from Texas.

[Jp]

I felt to need to bring more forums back to life!

<iframe width="560" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/3YxaaGgTQYM" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

[Austin]

Haha nice Jp.

We do need to get more active on the forums.

Btw, does anyone play paintball?

I usually play once or twice a year. I love it. So I figured I'd get my own gun and really own the noobs I go playing with lol. They'll be renting a pos gun while I've got a great gun that will mow them down.

http://www.asylumxtreme.com/us-army-alpha-black-electronic-marker-p-734.html

I'm the traditionalist :p Nothing but the most realistic for me.

Ultimately I still need to buy my tank, hopper, and a few cheaper things but I'd say that I will definitely be a pretty good player this time.

[say hi]

i've never played paintball ever. the forums do need more life! but everything is so busy!

[Austin]

Haha we play over at Paintball Asylum. Pretty much if you get back on Stonestreet at JCC and head towards Snyder exit you'll pass the sign for it.

If we get to go this time you can come if you want.

[say hi]

i see that place every time i'm rushing to not be late to class. haha. cool, let me know when or if. i might see you around campus soon once that intro to college class ends?

[Austin]

Haha nice. Its a pretty nice paintball place. But now that they're set up for Darkness Falls we cant go til November. All of my gear is back ordered but its "supposed" to ship tomorrow.

Probably. I got 1 more day of the class and thats next Wendsday and all we're doing is self-enrolling for spring.

[Jp]

Sorry for lack of posts on the site, I have been studying for the SAT test for tomorrow! Wish me luck!

[Austin]

This has been an awesome weekend! Left home at 10am Friday. Got in line at Memorial Coliseum at about noon. Stood there in about 45 degree weather til about 4pm. Left, got a room at the Knights Inn and then went to bed at midnight and got up at 4am and got in line at 4:45am and waited til 7am in 35 degree weather to get tickets to see the best NCAA basketball team at their first practice! :D

[nitrofan]

48 degrees and raining. Ugh.

[Austin]

Haha that sucks. I got a weather forecast for the 8th. So far weather near Kings Island is supposed to be sunny with temps in the 50s and 60s. Not bad.

Sitttin here making money at the yardsale. :D

[Kyle]

Over here, it was sunny and 80's last week... This week it's rain Monday-Thursday with temperatures under 65. Miserable.

[Jp]

Off for the weekend, Going to Mississippi for the weekend to go see Ole Miss!!

[Austin]

In 22 hours I'll be headed to Kings Island! :D

[Austin]

Every inch of my body is destroyed I think. However, I conquered WindSeeker! The mazes were average for this year. But theres a few factors leading to that decision though. Mainly my 7 year old cousin got scared in Slaughter House so my cousin and his wife had to stay out with him leaving me and my 2nd cousin to the mazes. Holiday Horror was ridiculous. A 25 minute wait at least and when you get there you don't get scared at all. We just laughed the whole time.

Oh yeah, on WindSeeker, don't look down when your going up. Great views at the top though haha.

[Changsucks]

^Let me guess, you skipped out on Beast and Diamondback again?

[Austin]

Only Beast because of time. KI pulled in over 50,000 people. It was pretty crowded and lines for any ride was over 2 hours, except Vortex and Monster. I'm getting a season pass next summer so I'll be back to ride everything for sure in the summer. Especially since I got a friend in Cincinnati now to go visit.

Oh yeah, the crowds were so bad they made the employees park way off in the grass almost a 1/2 mile from the gates to give guests more parking. It was pretty insane. I thought I wouldn't ever ride WindSeeker but yeah, I loved it. Except for the 1 minute climb to the top that seems like it takes forever.

[nitrofan]

So what did you think of Diamondback?

[Austin]

I loved it haha.

My new plan for Kings Island is coming to the park like the last day before they close for decorating and riding all the rides. Then coming on a Friday when Haunt is open 7pm to 1am. And maybe buy a Fright Lane. It would have been well worth the price last night.

Have you all gotten to ride a Windseeker yet?

[tribar]

^Soon they will probably be everywhere

[Austin]

I have to say, I was excited for the ride in a way, but said over and over I wouldn't ride it. Then I got on Shake Rattle And Roll and I was like, hmm it doesn't look THAT tall so I talked my cousin into riding it with me. Then we get in line and finally get right under it and I'm going why am I doing this? Haha but then you get on and your kind of nervous (I was at least partly because the issues the rides have had) and then it starts rising up and you make that mistake of looking down when its going up and its a little scary. But at the top its amazing. I think there was winds with speeds of like 20-30 mph haha. So at least I conquered something else last night.

HALLOWEEN!!!

[Austin]

Thanks haha. I wonder what they'll have for Christmas.

[Jp]

This place is getting boring lol.... The only thing being discussed here the Hurt and Heal game that mostly played by one person lol! But this used to be the site that I had to check first everytime before I go to other theme park sites, since I like everybody opinion on here!!

But I am going to bump A LOT of topics back up to date like this one, and to see if anything could stay alive and not fall back to the dead!

[Austin]

Finally I just finished my Final Project. Lol such a pain in the ass. 32 slide power point, accompanying a 1 page paper and a excel spreadsheet.

Anyway, I've been mostly working behind the scenes lately. Expect alot of improvements to come soon!

[Austin]

Up til almost 4... again. Lol. I told ya I'm really pushing hard to get the Index done for sure! Plus have time to complete the surprise to release on 1/1/12 :D

[Austin]

Feeling rather productive! I cleaned the whole room, finished 3-4 park pages, which sets me up to finish a whopping 5! today when I wake up from my hibernation lol.

After I finish those 5 and my friend finishes working on Morey's Piers we will only have 7 pages left, which spans between T and W.

[Austin]

I just landed some very epic pieces of park history from Kentucky Kingdom, Kings Island and even Cedar Point! I got more ebay auctions to finish though so there's gonna be even more from KI too haha

[Jp]

I miss one day and there was a big activity... I guess I need to stay off a little bit... lol

[CSM0fficial]

If all things goes well, I will be movin to Mississippi in like 7 months!!

I'm guessing you want to move to Mississippi? They need an amusement park there!

[Jp]

Well I got accepted to Mississippi State university in November, but I didnt say anything on here so i thought I should say something!

I know that it sad that there is no parks around in Mississippi. But I can travel Alabama Adventures that is 2 hour from the campus and there is a water park called Geyser Falls in Mississippi that is over an hour drive... But I think I will be fine!

[CSM0fficial]

OHHHHHHH
Okay I didn't know it was about college! :p Well congrats!!!!!! Mississippi St is great school so that's awesome! Well your probably gonna be so busy from studying, you won't have a lot of amusement park time as it is. When you can (weekends, breaks, etc.) You can hit Alabama Adventures or on long weekends somewhere as far as SFOG!

[Thehawkman]

so much snow in Ohio

[Austin]

I just got back from Ice Skating. Had fun but hard to skate with a broke foot lol.

Hey can you add a link to APA on your site? We'll add your site to the bottom next to ThrillNetwork's.

[CSM0fficial]

I'll advertise it more when I figure out the editing system a little better! And thanks!
Oh and on most of my posts if there is an APA forum for it I include the link that's ok right?

[Austin]

Thanks! It's going to take us a few hours to add it to our site. Thanks again.

Yeah thats ok

Here is my last post on Amusement Park Authority until Thursday morning! I will be protesting tomorrow against SOPA so, just wanted to let you know cause I won't be posting tomorrow.

[CSM0fficial]

What's SOPA? someone fill me in...

[Austin]

A bill that threatens the internet. It and PIPA are dangerous to the internet and would harm websites like APA, Facebook, Google, and Knotts Network.

[CSM0fficial]

I'm dumb lol I knew what that was just not by the names my bad :p
I've been really against this (as everybody has) it's one thing to limit piracy websites and some crude websites. It's a whole other thing to invade our social lives and our hobbies. That's somewhat communism, and it will not go down well.

[Thehawkman]

going to the Kalahari on Thursday

[CSM0fficial]

Made a SOPA/PIPA post on Knott's Network! Didn't have time to black it out like y'all over here.

[Austin]

We would black out, and we had the time but we decided that doing so would hurt the site more than anything.

[CSM0fficial]

Ohhh. I thought u said u didn't have time, my bad. Yeah I don't have enough active users of my site yet that it would really matter lol

[Austin]

Lol I didn't have time to post the message at like 8am.

[CSM0fficial]

Ohh got it. No worries as long as its up, people will get the message

[nitrofan]

What's with the sudden fascination everyone has over moving SFMM's coasters all of the sudden?

[Jp]

lol!

What's with the sudden everyone thinking they know something! lol

[nitrofan]

lol!

I know. Bizarro moving is reasonable speculation. Tatsu, Apocalypse, Ninja, and Superman Krypton Coaster is just crazy talk.

[Kyle]

I know. Bizarro moving is reasonable speculation. Tatsu, Apocalypse, Ninja, and Superman Krypton Coaster is just crazy talk.

I can't really see Bizarro moving. It's the same as saying Medusa and Scream could move. They're all too big to fit into a compact space.

[nitrofan]

I can't really see Bizarro moving. It's the same as saying Medusa and Scream could move. They're all too big to fit into a compact space.

Who says they have to fit in a compact space? I could see both Bizarro and Scream moving.

EDIT: Wow, all the legitimate ride rotation discussion is now taking place outside of that thread!

[Kyle]

Well where would they go? I can't see a park that could fit one of the rides.

[nitrofan]

Never underestimate Six Flags's ability to find creative things to park in their parking lots!

Or Bizarro or Scream could fit in:

SFA: Gotham City, or possibly near Two Face's old spot if they moved some of their backlot stuff
SFOG: In the parking lot near Deja vu's old spot, or where Ninja is (I can see Ninja leaving soon)
SFOT: I'm sure they could fit it in the parking lot somehow, or in La Vibora's spot (I can see La Vibore leaving soon)
SFStL: Parking lot, or near tidal wave
SFGAm: Iron Wolf's spot (depending on their ability to use the maintnance areas of the park)

I cringe at the sight of being on a roller coaster and seeing parking lot spaces under me.

Well hopefully they will be like Superman at SFGAdv and put down grass instead of asphalt.

[Kyle]

Well hopefully they will be like Superman at SFGAdv and put down grass instead of asphalt.

They only put down grass so that you aren't staring down at asphalt for 2 minutes. Plus Superman is relatively small. Bizarro/Scream/Medusa are all big, and Six Flags won't waste money putting in grass.

What's with the sudden fascination everyone has over moving SFMM's coasters all of the sudden?

LOL! I know right? Just cause we have a lot doesn't mean u can take it :p
Thanks for feeling my concern!

I am really afraid Scream could move, but Kyle said that Ninja is a terrain coaster, and after saying that thank you because I realized it is! So I change my opinion it could NOT move for ride rotation, and yeah it's probably to old anyways!

[Jp]

Well I was looking through baby pictures and I found tons of pictures at SeaWorld, Fiesta Texas, Over Texas, and Disney World! I knew I loved theme parks back then!

And the coolest is that I found my old park maps from Disney World in 2001!! Cant wait to look at them!

[nitrofan]

Scream is the only coaster I could actually see leaving.

[CSM0fficial]

I could see Green Lantern leaving in a few years. Or at least I don't like it... lol

[CSM0fficial]

Okay so I don't know if it's just me... but does anyone agree Cedar Fair has kind of jipped CGA? They took Stealth AND Invertigo!

[Austin]

They was expecting to sell the park. Can't blame them for getting those rides out.

CGA isn't jipped though. They came out very well with the agreement.

[Jp]

During off Campus lunch today (1/26/12)... On our way back to school the car I was in died on us in the middle of the road! lol It took us nearly 25mins. to fix the problem! There are some nice people in Austin and some Very RUDE! =p But what a great experience!

[CSM0fficial]

It's mutual that it's wonderful they reached an agreement. It's just a bummer for the park. Losing Stealth just seems like it hurts. Thy should get a new coaster soon though.

Texans are very nice. If that happened to me, I'd be lucky to not get rammed down by all the impatient people! The rude ones were probably from the east coast.

[CSM0fficial]

Has anyone look at Six Flags New Orleans on Google Earth lately?!?! It's really creepy....

[Sfguy]

HIIIIII. I haven't been here since *checks* You last visited: 10-27-2011 at 09:17 PM Oops.

I'm currently procrastinating. I'm like 95% finished my research paper but I don't feel like going through and putting in citations. Blah.

[Austin]

Lmoa I just finished my first college paper. I had to do research and citations. Ugh :(

[nitrofan]

"Let's eat Grandma"
"Let's eat, Grandma"

Punctuation Saves Lives.

[Jp]

Best episode of Glee tonight! lol Yes I watch Glee!

[nitrofan]

Is anybody else getting sick of all these "what if" threads?

[CSM0fficial]

Yes -____-
Most other forums have either forums on facts or rumors, not "possibilities!"

[CSM0fficial]

Hey I recently discovered APA has a Youtube channel! I have a POV I could contribute... but my friend cussed -___- if you still want to add it let me know it's a Batman POV @ SFMM...

[Austin]

Possibly. We're having a bit of "trouble" with Google.

[CSM0fficial]

Got it. Ok well if you need the vid, or any help just ask! :D

[CSM0fficial]

Hey Jp this is for you.... how crowded do you think SFOT would be over Memorial Day?

[Jp]

Like any park on Memorial Weekend, CROWDED! But the park is open daily the whole week before and week after the holiday weekend! And during does weeks Texas schools still got school so it wouldn't be packed at all!

[CSM0fficial]

Okay I'm definitely going to consider that because I am going to Dallas for my cousins high school graduation and I want to treat her to a Six Flags trip! She has only been once when she is little and it's like 20 min from her house so I want to get her over her supposed "fear of roller coasters!" And I will probably miss a day of school or two to go so I'll try to take her then

[Thehawkman]

So much snow in Ohio

[Austin]

Nice CSM!

I'm wrapping up work on the article.

[Jp]

Where I live, we could see winter precip!! I hope it's true! I want to see some flurries!

That what my friends and I are doing, one week day in May we are going to skip school and go to Fiesta Texas!

[CSM0fficial]

Nice! And thanks Austin!
My objective for the trip is to get my cousin to ride rollercoasters but I MUST ride Mr. Freese, Texas Giant, and Titan!

[Jp]

^ Yes you should ride those ride or you will regret it!

[Austin]

I got about a paragraph left. Then I got to re-read it, make changes and have another person read it, make the changes the recommend. Then get the pictures together and post it.

[CSM0fficial]

Sweet! It's a surprise what it's about right?

[Austin]

Yeah. I'll say the name of the article.

"The project that no one is talking about"

[CSM0fficial]

oooooo interesting! :D

[Austin]

Lol we got approval to use the pictures, its completed, and professionally reviewed and edited. All thats left is picking out the pictures, and posting it.

Anyone play paintball? I got my first gun right after it was too cold to go out and play last fall so I havent been able to use it yet. But with the season approaching I figured I'll open it up and take a look around since you have to do it for regular maintenance. First time took me 3 hours and I bent a spring on accident. Fml. I did it last night and took half an hour, no problems. Since I had to buy a new spring and pay shipping I decided to go ahead and order upgrade parts for my gun and some equipment.

All of it gets here in about a week and I'll be pretty much gutting the internals of my cyclone feed system to make it faster and more efficient (it drains air fast), and a new rear bolt/hammer thats 50% lighter making it more efficient there and quieter with lower kicking power. In the fall I'm thinking of spending around 50 for a power tube and front bolt replacement thats pretty much more improved than stock. :D

[CSM0fficial]

^^^^Some of my friends got really into air-softing, but I never did. I have never even been paint balling but I want to really bad!!

[Austin]

Nice. I hae a pretty nice authentic military gun (they used my model in training before they came up with simunition, aka a bullet with a paintball instead of lead). I'm putting alot of TechT upgrades to it making it alot better.

And I came into a rather nice supply of say 30 to 40 manuals :)

[Thehawkman]

I did the cinnamin challage dont do it

[CSM0fficial]

^^^lol!
So my parents and I were planning to go to Knott's tomorrow.... but were not! :( Probably will be too packed, Knott's gets very packed! I am going during my spring break (mid march) because ours is different than most schools!

[CSM0fficial]

So this week I was at school just standing around with my friends....and I see a guy wearing a WEST COAST BASH t-shirt!!!! I thought I was the only coaster enthusiast at my school!!!!

[Kyle]

I didn't have school for the week... :D

[Jp]

^^^lol!

I wish I knew someone that like coasters in my school... My friends think I am a weirdo for talking about them alot!!! But I am proud! =p

[Austin]

Lol. I just went tubing/skiing. Pretty fun night :D

[CSM0fficial]

SKIING IS AWESOME!!!!
And JP I haven't seen him since "/ I haven't explained to my friends how much I know about coasters but they know I'm like a pro at SFMM and stuff lol

[Jp]

Finally got the laptop back!

[CSM0fficial]

I hooked a Windows 98 up in my room lol

[nitrofan]

Lol. I just went tubing/skiing. Pretty fun night :D

I went last weekend. It really stinks how little snow we got this year.

[Austin]

Yeah theres like 2 or 3 resorts about a hour from me that we go to every now and then. This was my first time at Paoli Peaks and I wasn't impressed. It was fun yes, but 9 lanes only and no chain groups? Perfect North has 20 lanes and allows 2 or more people to go together.

[nitrofan]

I've never been tubing. I always go skiing. It was fun, but the trails had dirt patches all over, and they basically just pushed all the snow they made into the center of the trails, so you were skiing on a narrow path with ropes on either side.

[Austin]

Lmao nice. I cant ski so I didnt even try. Tubing in chains is so much fun. Perfect north has 2 lanes just for chain groups and they have skateboard type elements.

[Jp]

I want to go snow tubin!! They look lots of fun! In Texas we use trashcan lids on Ice! =p

[nitrofan]

Skiing is a lot of fun, it just takes practice. The good part is that you don't really lose the skill though. You can get good at skiing, then not ski for a few years, but it will probably only take about an hour to get back to where you were when you start again. (For me, at least...)

[CSM0fficial]

There's been like no snow in California either -___- warm year! Global warming?!!??! :O

[Kyle]

I wish there was snow in California...

But I think people in Minnesota and other northern states wish they didn't have so much snow! lol.

[nitrofan]

There's been like no snow in California either -___- warm year! Global warming?!!??! :O

The previous 2 years have been some of the snowiest in a while. It's just the earth going through weather cycles.

[CSM0fficial]

Hahaha I know I'm just kidding. But it's sad I could't ski this year :(

[Jp]

Just sitting in class... =p

[CSM0fficial]

I have 51 followers for Knott's Network on FB :D so stoked!

[Jp]

Your about to have more followers than me on Twitter! =p

[CSM0fficial]

hahahahahahah I have more followers than I do for my regular self on instagram. does anyone here have an intsagram?

[Austin]

Just helped get a lost cat back home :) I really wanted to keep it though but it was microchipped and the owner claimed it :( lol. Still feels awesome to do something good.

[CSM0fficial]

That is awesome! I have a cat and absolutely loveeee it!

[Austin]

Lol we found it at my church wondering around outside in the cold trying to get us to let it in. I picked it up and took it to my grandmas at 7am and then took it over to our vet to get the chip scanned and they found the owner. I got pics of it. Really pretty cat, looks just like my other cat almost lol.

[Jp]

Going camping from tomorrow evening to Sunday evening in East Texas!... Only if Astroworld was opened though... =(

[Thehawkman]

On March 31st I will be posting my last post on amusement Park Authority. I will be leaving going to help Theme Park Universe and the rules on here are way too strict. So enjoy me on here while you have the chance. And JP yes we all miss astroworld. My dad got to go there in 1996.

[Austin]

The rules here aren't very strict at all. We strive for professionalism and if you can't follow easy rules then I have no answer. In fact, we only gave you a warning to please follow the rules and then your ban for attacking 2 members and causing them to start attacking you back.

[Thehawkman]

I saying that the rules are fare too strict being 18 to be a staff member really. This is not Facebook were you have to be 18 to work there and those people were flaring me first you did not see it

[Austin]

We saw that and we intervened when it got out of control.

And yes 18 and up is the policy we have to become staff. Why? Well like I said, professionalism. We adopted the rule at the beginning of the year when we re-wrote our rules. Having the new policy, which applies only to new staff, means A. your less likely to have to deal with immaturity, which our current staff thankfully has shown great maturity, you can count on them, and when you have things like Media Days at parks you can send them to go because they can travel, and they're old enough to do the job responsibly.

Well I go to parks as well I mean really we all travel to diffrent parks. I can go to Media Day at Cedar Point,Wild Water Kingdom etc. I can travel too I can travel out of the country I have a passport and I'm planning on going to La Ronde this summer.

[Austin]

Your traveling based on your parents. We need someone to go and be reliable and able to go when they have to not when their parents can take you. Plus parks have age limits on the media for the most part. Most parks ask you be 18, some parks let you be 16. So really aside from being a maturity issue and dependability its also to comply with parks media rules.

True but what if you notice a spelling mistake the admins won't see it and JP goes to alot of his trips with his parents.

[Austin]

Because they go on family trips. I do family trips alot myself. We're trying to become a source that gets regularly invited to parks new rides and expansions.

[Jp]

To pop into the conversation! Austin have you ever email Dollywood?

[Austin]

Yeah we emailed them but when we realized we could go it was too late to get passes but... we got saved thanks to ThrillNetwork. The media passes have a guest option and me and Say Hi are going on two of their passes as guests. Although we will be helping TN in exchange by writing their report and covering the event, and sticking with the senior Editor and learning how ThrillNetwork handles Media Events. So its going to be mostly all business Friday and then Saturday we get more riding on Wild Eagle and the other awesome coasters.

We're covering it very much in depth. Videos, notes during the presentation, voice recording, and there might even be a Q&A session or something. So yes we will help TN first but over the weekend we will have our own write up. This is big. Really big.
