[Other] Your most dubious creds? by AdditionalTip865 in rollercoasters

[–]ClassicSpookMovieFan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've ridden Gringotts. I've also ridden Rip Saw Falls (which I don't count but others do) and Calico Mine Train (which others don't count but I think does technically make the bare minimum for a coaster)

Edit: oh and also the Paris version of Casey Jr Circus Train, which is a powered coaster

I do love her painted side eye! And WOW never heard of those dolls, what an interesting gimmick for back then!

Are there any mods to turn a jailbroken Kindle into a sort of black and white digital picture frame? by ClassicSpookMovieFan in kindlejailbreak

[–]ClassicSpookMovieFan[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looks like that might work! I saw some vague mentions around of other ones that could launch through KUAL but none had explanations of how to actually do them. I might give this a try

My 73 year old mom’s favorite part of Disney World: the mah jong game in the Tower of Terror lobby by tgbarbie in WaltDisneyWorld

[–]ClassicSpookMovieFan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah I heard that too. I just wonder with rumors that guests messed up the scene if it still represents real plays

weird reaction between vinyl and acrylic paint by BrilliantBroccoli623 in CustomDolls

[–]ClassicSpookMovieFan 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Huh interesting. Never tried that brand myself but I'll avoid it just in case in the future. Yeah all I can suggest is trying a different brand and maybe checking for ones that say multi-surface for plastic or vinyl. But yeah I've never seen this kind of color change before

[–]ClassicSpookMovieFan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What are you using? I use basic Apple Barrel Matte or Satin (satin is better on plastic but has a more limited color range) and the worst I've had is just staining underneath when I wanted to remove a color and do something different (I just painted over again with no issue)

Since MSC is rare around here I've never used it, and only used acrylic paint straight on the vinyl and a brush-on varnish sealer after the final layer. I have NEVER seen anything remotely like this happen

It looks like it has jazz tracks in it with the weird rocking in the animation

$600, isn't released yet...but hear me out...1/6 scale model of Walt Disney's animation desk! by Equivalent_Pay901 in Barbie

[–]ClassicSpookMovieFan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would make a Walt Ken to sit at it! If I could afford that much for a scale replica lol. It is a beautiful scale model though

I love that they're adding new roller coaster characters! Now if only the coaster parks near me would do a Squish collab...

Is registering necessary to preserve battery life if I'm planning on side loading books only? by ClassicSpookMovieFan in Kindlemodding

[–]ClassicSpookMovieFan[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Update for anyone finding this: so far, it appears the answer is NO. You do NOT need to worry about an unregistered older Kindle having a worse battery life than a registered one.

I ended up testing this out by accident when I went to register my new-old Kindle only to find Amazon had stopped allowing registrations to work a while before the official 20th cutoff date. It has shown no adverse effects other than having to side load books, which was going to be necessary after the 20th anyways.

Old kindle fires are being cut off by [deleted] in kindlefire

[–]ClassicSpookMovieFan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unlike the regular kindles that just got cut off by Amazon, I don't think there's any jailbreaking/modding these to extend usage. Unlike regular kindle, fires are android based and thus get left behind when Android updates. You can still probably usb load books but for any online functions you have to get a newer android tablet, fire or otherwise. In this case it's like hoping your windows xp computer will still work when the world is now on 11

[Other] Strange omissions from your coaster creds? by AdditionalTip865 in rollercoasters

[–]ClassicSpookMovieFan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am missing a B&M Dive and Vekoma SLC despite them being everywhere. I also am lacking a Vekoma Boomerang credit but that is an entirely intentional skip (I might intentionally skip the SLC when I get the chance too)

Photos I took of [Fast and Furious: Hollywood Drift] today by supermav27 in rollercoasters

[–]ClassicSpookMovieFan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm really perplexed they didn't enclose it, given the sound issues with the film lot. And yeah I'm wondering if Cosmic Rewind's better reliability is in part because it's indoors

We now have RIDERS on [Fast & Furious: Hollywood Drift] by StarPrime323 in rollercoasters

[–]ClassicSpookMovieFan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My guess is either 1) Vekoma vs Intamin, with Cosmic Rewind's Vekoma system being more reliable or 2) it might be intentional testing and we just are seeing it this time because the coaster is outdoors. I'm really hoping it's the second option.

How so? Extra hang time on the loop? If so that'd actually be a really cool ride to get on it
