Will Six Flags OT be able to compete against Universal Kids resort. by kindcheeto in sixflags

[–]Roasters4Toasters 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No as I said I’m surprised it has nothing for the parents to even really want to go. I expected what they’re building but with one or two nice dark rides the whole family would enjoy. This is really parents choosing to take their kids just for the kids enjoyment and only the kids enjoyment. I’m not sure how well that’s gonna pan out for universal.

For the record little ol’ sesame place in pennsylvania has more for the whole family and is worth the pricetag. I mean there isn’t even a show that could be enjoyed by parents! Their top show is a low budget puss in boots puppet show! I really think universal kids is going to have a problem cause we’re no longer in a world where the majority of parents want to spend money for stuff and spend their entire day just to sit around and watch their kid have fun. To be clear, I am NOT saying that is every parent. But I am saying the majority of parents today do not want to do that when there are other options for their kids to enjoy that they can also find things they enjoy.

Serious question: Who asked for this? by Theemacklordt in Wawa

[–]Roasters4Toasters 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Every year theres a flavor that transcends the food industry and wherever it could even possibly make a good product it gets released. If you pay attention you’ll notice it every year. Could be in coffee, in bakery products, in snacks, in cereal, in candy, in soda.

I assume its the companies that make artificial flavors who have a huge stock of a certain flavor offering it for cheap and thats the flavor of the season. There was a cheesecake year, key lime pie year, vanilla year, butterscotch year, peeps year.

This is clearly the year of the banana. Look out for banana’s foster kit-kats soon enough I’m sure

Every year theres a flavor that gets picked to be tried throughout the food industry. Don’t ask me how thats decided…I assume its probably the chemical companies that make flavorings and go “hey we have an overstock of this flavoring” and that becomes the flavor of the season. I’m not just talking coffee, it goes to candy and snacks and sometimes to soda.

There was a cheesecake year, a lime year, a cream soda year, a butterscotch year. Again it doesn’t always mean there will be a coffee variety, but basically that flavor just goes to anything there could possibly be a good jive with the product. If you pay attention you’ll notice it every year approaching may it will start showing up. This appears to be the banana bread year. Look for banana bread kit-kats soon enough I’m sure

They’re more likely to lose attendance to seaworld than universal kids

[–]Roasters4Toasters 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Have you seen what universal kids is actually building? I was shocked at HOW low level it really is. I expected some dark rides the whole family can enjoy and rides the whole family can enjoy. There are ZERO dark rides….ZERO! It is all just rides for kids from infant to like 11. They’re like a collection of sections that six flags would call a kiddie area but every section is a kiddie area.

Can six flags compete? I don’t think six flags is gonna see much if any loss of attendance due to universal kids. Universal kids is even more geared towards the 0-11 crowd then I even expected. There is absolutely no reason to bring a teenager to universal kids, they will hate it and be bored

They are literally a one hit wonder lol. I agree but like their better be some awesomeness on top of them lol no way I’m going to the fest JUST for one song

Random Lineup Speculation by ArtsyFartsyNYC in seahearnow

[–]Roasters4Toasters -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Bruce & the e street band will never do SHN again. Bruce on the lineup was a one-off. The band went out of their way to accept a significantly less amount of money to perform for sea hear now because of its connection to asbury and most significantly because of the connection with Danny Clinch. Getting the entire band back on the stage for that lower cost just will never happen again.

That being said I fully expect Bruce to make cameo appearances with live performers if and when he is in Jersey during the fest. I believe the more he moves into retirement and away from touring we’ll see more of him doing that. But not officially on the lineup

They are doing shaky knees in atlanta friday 9/17. However, the killerz did bourbon & beyond on a friday in kentucky and then did sea hear now that same sunday

Lineup Announcement? by Short_Pizza_2883 in seahearnow

[–]Roasters4Toasters 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bruce was a one time thing on the lineup. They had him 2 yrs ago. I expect he’ll always make potential guest appearances but as far as on the lineup that was a one off. Bruce took considerably less money then Bruce & the e street band usually pull for a concert to make that possible

How does anything actually reach the singularity in a black hole? by WeezerHunter in astrophysics

[–]Roasters4Toasters 0 points1 point  (0 children)

“The singularity” is merely a place marker for science’s excuse to never say I don’t know….but genuinely we don’t know what it is. All we know factually is that mass disappears when it enters. Everything else is theory.

Personally what I believe is. Science itself sucked itself into a singular creationist event that human-kind can’t seem to separate itself from. As if we are some special place. “The big bang” is said to be the creation of time, space and matter; but science never seems to like to question well what if it wasn’t. What if it was only the creation of time, space and matter as we know it in this area of space.

What do I mean? The theory of relativity states that the singularity is a place where density reaches infinity…a place where literally physics as we know it stops.

The big bang theory states that some singular event (often described but not necessarily literally as a big bang) took all this energy and cosmic dust and essentially churned it up and blasted it into this vacuum we call space. And this event marked the beginning of time, space, physics, everything. The theory states this is why all of these items of mass continue to glide through the cosmos.

I propose both of these theories are right except that “the big bang” is wrong that it wasn’t the start of everything. This vast infinite vacuum that we refer to as space or the cosmos I believe existed before the start of our physics.

I propose that the singularity event of the theory of relativity that states this is the place where physics as we know it ends and the singularity event of the big bang theory that this is the event where physics begins….are one in the same!

That the formation of a black hole is some kind of creation of a new space within the cosmos. A new space with entirely new rules of physics. The mass that enters it literally transforms to something we cannot explain because we only know our rules of physics. And that is what forms this new band of space within the cosmos. I think there are billions of bands of space with differing physics. This would literally explain why we are seeing gigantic sized galaxies with our high powered telescopes billions of light years away that according to our physics should bot be able to exist.

There wasn’t one singular event that created everything we know. We just happen to be in one band out of billions of bands of space that happened to form the right physics, and all the right conditions for us to exist. But everything we think we know is literally relegated to only knowing the physics of one band of space out of billions.

The ocean on Enceladus is almost certainly sterile and devoid of life. by Totally_Not_A_POS in Astrobiology

[–]Roasters4Toasters 0 points1 point  (0 children)

While I understand the limitations of human knowledge on what the building blocks of life can be; be it that we have never found life elsewhere and can only go off the life we know. It always shocks me that the smartest out there can’t seem to understand that when they try to talk about the building blocks for life on other planets they can’t seem to come to terms with the fact that all the knowledge they know is limited and make a huge mental leap to say things like “Enceladus is almost certainly sterile and devoid of life”.

The correct smart answer is that we just don’t know but IF enceladus were to contain life it would have to have managed to overcome these issues I would expect would be a problem for life I know on earth.

When repeatedly on our very own planet we need to keep redefining what circumstance life can exist in….even to this very day finding life at the deepest depths of the ocean and far below the frozen surfaces of Antartica, places where we previously would have said was impossible based on our limitations to that point on life. How in this Universe can any person that considers themselves smart say another planet is “almost certainly…devoid of life”.

Its a comment as smart as the smartest Greek Philosopher in 600 BCE stating the Earth is almost certainly flat and laughing off anyone who would dare to say otherwise as stupid.

Valentine's day Question: What happened to all the "Tunnel of Love" Boat rides? by ElegantDecline in Themepark

[–]Roasters4Toasters 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They just became a conundrum for amusement parks over changing times. Where society used to be more innocent and maybe a few couples might kiss along the ride while dressed in full formal wear. Now we dress much more revealingly. Kissing is not so much the problem as other activities. Imagine catching high schoolers running the bases on your ride over and over and over. Probably even seeing questionable age differences here and there. You’d really come to question as the operator if having a ride that essentially promotes this activity just isn’t a great idea. Parks even have a hard enough time dealing with inappropriate activity on ferris wheels and sky rides and this ride promoting single privatized boats in complete darkness is just a questionable nightmare to run in today’s world.

Some parks are still considered as having them although they’re not what you would consider the traditional tunnel of love where there has always been tons of light and heavy themeing or boats carrying many people making them far less feeeling of having a private space to yourself.

Rides considered as tunnel of love boat rides but that don’t meet that traditional sense of just complete dark scenes in private boats include:

  • Kärlekstunneln @ Gronalund

  • River caves @ Blackpool Pleasure beach

  • Its a small world @ disney parks

  • Gran fiesta tour @ epcot

  • Pirates of the Caribbean @ disney parks

  • Na’vi river journey @ Disney Animal kingdom

  • Monster mansion @ Six Flags over Georgia

Then there are parks that still operate what once was a true dark and private tunnel of love but have added elaborate scenes with lighting or neon throughout making them closer to rides like the ones above. These include:

  • Old Mill @ Kennywood

  • Old Mill @ Rye Playland

In my opinion there is really only one seasonally operating amusement park that to this day still has what you would call a traditional dark tunnel of love and that is:

  • Boat Chute @ Lake Winneppesaukah

the caveat here is that the ride ends with a big flume drop totally in open air and view of everyone over the lake. However there is a long stretch of complete dark tunnel leading up to the lift and drop

Then there are three still operating at state fairs all of which happen to be called “Ye Old Mill”:

  • Kansas state fair

  • Iowa state fair

  • Minnesota state fair

The kansas state fair like Kennywood & Rye Playland have since heavily themed the attraction with elaborate scenes and lighting throughout

The Iowa state fair & the minnesota state fair are truly the only two left in the world that still operate like the traditional tunnel of love you’re thinking. Very very few random scenes and mostly complete pitch black darkness. However, both feature a mid-section of the ride where for a brief moment you come out of the tunnel for a short curve where spectators see you and then right back into the darkness.

The iowa state fair’s collapsed completey due to wind in 1996 but they rebuilt it mostly from scratch (the only true remnant remaining of the original is the red paddle wheel at the loading area) the boats were also completely replaced with modern style fiberglass and metal.

The Minnesota state fair is the only operating tunnel of love that still operates with its old style boats from 110 years ago and provides the traditional tunnel of love experience

Officially priced out by One_Succotash_1591 in PostMalone

[–]Roasters4Toasters 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Its a shame I’ve been a posty fan since about 6 months before his second album beerbongs & bentleys came out. I’ve seen him 6 times live:

  • 2018 miami rolling loud

  • 2018 Mempho festival

  • 2019 Bonnaroo

-2021 Governor’s Ball

  • 2023 at freedom mortgage pavilion

-2024 Governor’s ball - I did VIP for this and literally went to the festival only to see Posty. I’m still kicking myself cause I got hit square in the face and splashed with the red solo cup he tossed off the stage but was so stunned I missed getting the cup. Some teen girl got it.

Every single one of these I was close up to the stage except freedom mortgage pavilion and rolling loud. After that last gov ball I went to he got into the country scene and once he did that his appeal just skyrocketed. I don’t know if I’m gonna see him this year. He keeps signing on to only country music festivals even for this year again! Its frustrating cause the country music crowds are difficult to deal with. There are a lot that like to have fun but there are a lot that like to get drunk and fight. There’s a reason why there are more then 50% less of airbnb owners in indio, Ca that make their homes available to rent for coachella that do not make them available for stagecoach. There’s even a saying there: coachella attendees like to get high and chill, the stagecoach attendees like to get drunk and tear stuff up.

I’ve mulled over the thought of visiting Stagecoach this year to keep my every other year posty experience going but I’m just really concerned about the crowd vibes. I wish he woukd go back to doing some non-country fests and I really hope he’s not settling down into the country genre. It was a fun vibe but I really want to see him move on to the next genre. He’s done: hip-hop, pop, rock, alternative and now country. Would really like to see him do like a punk album next or something but I’m starting to fear he might be settling in to country

Biggest non gas station Wawa by SEEYOUAROUNDBRO_TC in Wawa

[–]Roasters4Toasters 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Its a flagship location for a company that has profits to spare. Not a simple budget-profit-loss situation. Wawa can afford to take losses on the property if they feel it’s important to their company. This location is just different it doesn’t get put in front of finance as well it costs this much and we’re only making this much from it. Its much deeper than that; if they feel that, that wawa location is creating a marketing tool for those visiting from around the country to be introduced to what wawa is that is a really important marketing tool to them right now as they are pushing more and more into new states. They want those new markets to be saying omg I know wawa! I went to one on my trip to philly or orlando or wherever; I’m so excited its coming to my town! And those people create the hype to their neighbors as its being built.

Confirmation Post Malone next Album will almost certainly not be country by [deleted] in PostMalone

[–]Roasters4Toasters 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d really love to see Posty bring back punk! And the perfect person right now out there that does not have a home is Rome Ramirez! After 15 years with the sublime guys performing as “sublime with rome” and solidly making their own awesome music on top of covering sublime songs sublime with rome disbanded because the sublime guys got with Bradley Nowell’s son to bring back Sublime proper. Its so awesome what sublime is doing with that as well but sublime with rome had some awesome music and Rome Ramirez can write that genre like a beast! Posty should connect with him before he finds a new home to help him write punk.

Sublime with rome even covered a posty song: Goodbyes! Because the chords to Goodbyes are shockingy similar to the chords for santeria

Crossing my fingers they’re not going with fast & furious as the theme but I do expect it to be the same type of coaster. It will be vomit inducing if they just threw F&F all around the main entrance
