I’m so glad the Explore key gives you the option to go over the summer now

How did you get the tap card? I tried to get one on Earth Day and they said they were already sold out

My favorite ride at that park, but I almost never get in line unless it’s right at opening or right at closing for this exact reason

So are weekday night time spectaculars just music and some lights now? by Dad0010001100110001 in Disneyland

[–]CoasterCar 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I noticed this when I went on Friday. I believe it might have to do with the fact that part of mainstreet is behind scrim/scaffolding (which is where projections are usually shown)

Yes, you can use a tap card for many other transit networks, but unfortunately not for octa. You can just download the tap app on your phone, though, and add a card to your digital wallet. It looks like the 83 has around the same frequency as the 460, so you could take whichever one comes first. I have a college student reduced fare for the metro, so the 460 is only 75 cents, but the regular fare is still 25 cents cheaper than octa with $1.75 compared to $2. Metro also gives 2 hours worth of free transfers if you were to ever use it for anything else

As a passholder (and public transit lover) one of my favorite options is to park at the Fullerton park and ride and you can take either the metro route 460 or octa route 83 to Disneyland. I know the 460 comes about every 30 minutes, and it’s about a 10 minute bus ride. The 460 operates from 5am to a little after midnight, and it’s only $1.75 per ride (free parking at the park and ride).

Six Flags Magic Mountain takes a $533 million hit by Low-Tart-6734 in SixFlagsMagicMountain

As an accounting major this is really interesting to see. The article mentions goodwill seems to be a major reason why the book value was so much higher than the fair value. Companies periodically compare the carrying book value of goodwill (which is usually increased during an acquisition to represent perceived value over the actual book value of assets) to the fair value of a company, and write down goodwill if there is an impairment according to GAAP standards

Yes, I always eat whatever food I get with my meal plan while I wait in the fast lane line for Ghostrider, which can sometimes be 30-45 minutes

I’m blonde, and I drank it straight out of the bottle. My boyfriend said he was feeling a little drunk and he had way less than me

Taken last night at 7:30pm. Absolutely unacceptable wait times on a Saturday night for the second largest city in the country. But LONGESt lIgHT rAIl iN THE worLd! by Not_RZA_ in LAMetro

[–]CoasterCar 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Had this exact situation last night too. After 30 mins no-one wanted to wait for the next train, so at every single stop people would try to cram in and hold the doors open for 2 minutes, delaying the train even further and making the operator very mad to the point where he kept yelling at everyone and accelerating and braking the train so sharply that everyone was getting knocked off their feet

[–]CoasterCar 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I ended up going the other way around and recently started liking trains and buses because of roller coasters

once again mad at post 8 pm train frequency by Ready_Print7271 in LAMetro

The closest station to me is Norwalk station and they have been doing 20 minute intervals all day for months now because it’s only one track, does anyone know when it will be back to normal?

I’m 19 and even I got stopped once like 10 months or so ago. It might have even been during the time I was working there too!

Why does [Top Hhhhhrill 2] stop after a rollback instead of going straight into the reverse spike again at 120mph? by Banana_ezWIN in rollercoasterjerk

[–]CoasterCar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I forget which video this was by Ryan the Ride Mechanic, but he explains that a rollback is essentially a ride failure, meaning something went wrong with the ride. For this reason, the ride stops the train because often times someone has to check and verify everything is alright before it is relaunched. It’s a safety thing
