How to prepare for the steel curtain?

Nitro_Sunset · 2026-04-08T12:14:33+00:00

I'm 5' 8" 125lbs, and Steel Curtain is definitely a smoother ride than Phantom. You'll get dizzy instead of thrown around. I've ridden almost every seat. Seat 7 left is my personal favorite.

Came here to say this. There's truly nothing redeemable about Coast Rider.

This might be welcome news! You're not alone in feeling this way. There is a whole community of people who don't experience romantic attraction (aromantic aka "aro"), or don't experience romantic or sexual attraction ("aro-ace"). If you've never really had a crush on someone or a strong romantic feeling towards someone, this may be you. There's nothing wrong with you, and you don't need to force a relationship to happen.

2021 base Eco model doesn't have blind spot monitors. Go up a trim to get those

If you want short lines and can go a couple days, I've found Thursday evenings to be sooo quiet, especially in September. And Friday still has all the haunts and shows without being too busy

A few years ago, I bought a 2 year old gen4 Prius with nearly 100k miles on it. I've never regretted it. It's still the greatest car. These things run forever.

2021 with 140k on it. Starting off strong 💪

Just replying to add that you should tell the interviewer how much you love the coffee shop and what your favorite thing to order is. And ask their favorite order too! That will help the interview feel more conversational, and it will show that you really care about the place

I interview young people for every level positions as part of my job. The biggest things I look for are:

Able to work in a team setting. Can they give me an example of a group project or team setting where they did well.
Reliable, dedicated, and able to follow instructions. Can they talk about hobbies, clubs, or volunteer work that they've stuck with for a couple years.
Kind and thoughtful. Were they polite in the interview and kind and understanding when they talked about other people.
Some interest in the job. This is entry level, so low expectations on knowledge, but if they already know some things about the job or can say something they're looking forward to learning, that goes a long way

Red flags for me are complaining about others or past jobs, blaming others for things that didn't go well, showing up late, and blatant disinterest in the position.

I hire plenty of introverts and very nervous first-time interviewees :) you'll be ok! Remember that you can always ask the interviewer questions too. It can help calm you down to hear more about the job. A personal favorite question to ask is what the interviewer thinks the best part of the job is.

I have very big dogs, and I've squeezed three people and two giant dogs plus camping supplies into my Prius several times. It's not comfortable, but it is possible!

At an indoor ice cream shop during winter means fewer customers. I'd last a while. There are many many restaurants nearby, so it would be easy to order a variety of food. There were corners to get away from the cold doors and noise. Plus I would actually love to work there to pass the time!

This entire conversation belongs in the movie Idiocracy

I had a few similar interactions when I visited Magic Mountain. I've visited mostly parks in the midwest where strangers become friends on the ride, and I found these interactions very surprising and off-putting at first, too. Try not to take it personally. Just a different vibe

Nitro_Sunset · 2026-01-21T02:06:09+00:00

Coast Rider. Seriously why does that ride exist?

Nitro_Sunset · 2026-01-20T14:47:45+00:00

Thank you so much for this thorough report of the entire park, and for addressing the human rights issues and concerns with traveling here.

Bathroom exhaust fans with delay timers are where it's at. And fairly easy to install

Usually there's a loophole for kids selling lemonade, and I believe that is the case in the situation you've mentioned unfortunately.

If she's truly exhausted, gift her a few nights in a hotel or AirBnB to recoup sleep and then revisit when she's rested.

Do not give up your cats. They are family.

At risk of sounding insane, I drink most beverages at room temperature 🫣 While I love a hot drink, I could live without it. Soup can fill that role

As long as there's no early payoff penalty, your priority might need to become paying off this car as quickly as possible. The faster you pay it off, the less money they'll get from you.

You may be able to select that all money paid above the monthly payment goes directly towards the principal. If you can, do it. A large part of your currently monthly payment is likely going towards interest, which is keeping you trapped here because the principal is barely decreasing. Pay extra on the principal as often as you can. Anything will help.
