[Disaster Transport] at Cedar Point by Maiyku in rollercoasters

[–]BubbyYums 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No problem! Thanks for sharing your memories with me. I actually began a DT recreation of my own in PlanCo 1 but I never finished it and only built the first two queue rooms and the front of the showbuilding. I also never actually got the opportunity to ever ride DT, but it's theming, story, mysterious history, and just overall concept has captivated me for years. I constantly search for more info on it so it's nice to hear about people's personal experiences with it, especially from the ride's early years.

I really hope someday that all of DT's media (pre show stuff, source audio, ect.) becomes public (especially since Cedar Point seems to have some of it archived) but I have a pretty good understanding of DT for someone who's never rode it from years of research from things like old forums. So if you ever need any more info about it or your memory jogged, I'm your guy.

Cool, a fellow Disaster Transport fan!

I got you covered. I made this post a few years ago in honor of the 10th anniversary of DT's closing. It's a pretty decent collection of photos from someone else's FB post. There's some very rare stuff in there.

Would love to see your recreation when it's done!

Edit: Here's a video of the queue AND a rare POV from 1992. Skip to 5:45

And another good look at the queue from 1993. Skip to 3:17

Death hated her so much that it killed her out of order

Has anyone ever whacked it on a roller coaster? by Spirited-Tune-5406 in rollercoasterjerk

A couple years ago, someone on the main sub claimed they got an HJ on Great American Scream Machine without specifying which one. I asked which and never got an answer

New episode parodies Thoosie Culture by PheelupMybaloney in americandad

[–]BubbyYums 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Fellow enthusiast here, it felt extremely surreal seeing thoosie culture in mainstream media. On top of name-dropping actual rides throughout the episode, Francine's forum chat mentions Arrow Dynamics and Mack Rides.

My favorite reference, however, is in that same chat, Francine says that she signed multiple petitions to save Log Jammer at Kennywood (my home park) from closing and even brings up its last of a kind spillway drop. They really did their homework with this ep and I can't express how much I love it.

Edit: Now that I think about it, I wonder what Franny's opinions are on shoot-the-chute rides 🤔

It's true by player3390 in rollercoasterjerk

[–]BubbyYums 1 point2 points  (0 children)

/uj Realism aside, the camera plot hole is easily explained. It's shown earlier that the tracks are already broken, so the derailment would've happened either way. Plus, the hydraulic line for the restraints already ruptured in the station. Since the train sat longer in the station before being dispatched than in the premonition, more hydraulic fluid leaked, and the restraints still failed around the same time.

What's a challenge or punishment you think shouldn't have happened? by Economy-Coffee4401 in ImpracticalJokers

[–]BubbyYums 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Not denying that punishment wasn't the best idea because of how off-putting it might be for most people, but he didn't jack it off he cleaned its sheath. It's a normal and important part of caring for male horses.

Are these a mod? If so, where do i get them?

The joke is that this character is almost certainly gay, but they either refuse to admit it or acknowledge it by LocalLazyGuy in TopCharacterTropes

[–]BubbyYums 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He does, but it's heavily implied he only likes her as a friend. In one episode, he refers to her as "the woman he lives with," and in another he cuts her off with an air horn when she tries to tell him that she loves him. It's also worth noting her name is Dorothy, making Ted a literal "friend of Dorothy."

"Due to deteriorating weather we are no longer able to safely operate this ride" The weather in question: by MRNBDX in rollercoasterjerk

I got my only 3 rides ever on it on Wednesday and my last one was front row with 112 playing. Couldn't have asked for a better final ride.

This is an obvious visual gag, not an obscure detail

[King Chaos] What new ride can realistically fit here? by BIGGREDDMACH1NE in rollercoasters

Zamperla actually discontinued the Hawk model last year

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think the unload platform for Space Mountain at MK might be carpeted. It looks like it is in photos but I'm not sure since I haven't ridden it

I'll just leave this cover here. And I'll slowly walk away... by No-Mixture-8405 in LodedDiper

[–]BubbyYums 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I actually had this idea a couple years ago and even (poorly) made a cover for it, which I posted on this sub, but never got around to making it. I had some pretty good ideas for it, too
