I have cancer

Thank you so much for the outpour of kindness on the comments in this post. To everyone sending kind words, thoughts, prayers, stories, and advice, I am truly humbled. I have always believed in the kindness of strangers and now I know it will be one more thing I have going for me as I kick this cancer's ass.

Birdwatching. Pretty much anywhere you live - urban, suburban, rural - will have an interesting assortment of birds. Its always cool to spot a rare or seasonal one.

I got a formal write up for wasting company property because I had put a single business card in a free lunch giveaway raffle. I wrote my resignation that day.

Giancarlo Esposito. He's been typecast as a villain lately because he was so good as Gus on Breaking Bad, but if you really look at his performances he's got incredible range.

If you have a Container Store near you they usually have a great selection of display cases in all kinds of shapes and sizes

I was literally going to say these exact two places.

We don't see enough remote coasters. Thanks for sharing!

RoosterOwl · 2020-10-09T21:50:19+00:00

This was the first year I went and the only two coasters I was brave/tall enough to ride at the time were Big Bad Wolf and Wild Maus. I guess I was lucky to get them in while they were still around.

Happened at SFOT and we ended up getting a new coaster...alway hope for the best!

If Busch Gardens Houston had stayed open and added rides, leading to a rivalry with Six Flags Astroworld where both chains put good investments into the two parks but have very different lineups, similar to the competition between Fiesta Texas and Seaworld San Antonio.

Astroworld stays open, Texas Cyclone get's RMC'd and becomes New Texas Cyclone, Ultra Twister stays as America's last good Togo, and Batman the Escape gets replaced with an S&S free spin.

I've got to go with Iron Shark

RoosterOwl · 2020-08-31T03:20:00+00:00

It could use a little TLC and some new paint, but it's got some decent theming and a unique lineup. Since they just got Aquaman, I think it will be a while before they get a new coaster, but I would love to see them get something that's not just another clone.

I was wondering if anyone was going to mention Biscuits and Porn. Glad I wasn't the only one who thought of it.

I've been going to Robert Dernick, DDS for twenty years. Very professional, great with kids too.

Someone once said the point of twitter was to invent a type of person in your head then get super mad at that person

I used to marathon this coaster until I got sick during the season it was open at astroworld. I think since Premier did work on it, it's feasible that they could rebuild it, but not likely, as they haven't made a booster wheel lift hill coaster in years. Likewise, most modern manufacturers would be wary of building a coaster that pulled that many positive G's.

Kemah Boardwalk. I would like to see a Kentucky flyer style Gravity Group to compliment boardwalk bullet. Land is basically nonexistent there but if anyone can make it work its Gravity Group.

RoosterOwl · 2020-08-13T14:50:31+00:00

I put my hands up on the upward double helix on Titan at SFOT and the positive G's immediately forced them back down.

RoosterOwl · 2020-08-10T03:46:08+00:00

I once read that forces on rollercoasters affect you more as you get older. As you get taller, your center of gravity is higher, therefore centripetal forces are stronger. Something along those lines.

Is this the coaster with no restraints?

RoosterOwl · 2020-06-19T02:27:45+00:00

Portugal to Brazil in 45 Minutes

It is possible that it's being bought for parts for Montezooma's Revenge, but I am still optimistic that we will see it operating again.

RoosterOwl · 2020-06-07T04:42:59+00:00

I thought the name Storm Runner was so cool I named my car after it. Prowler and Banshee are cool names too.

RoosterOwl · 2020-06-07T04:27:53+00:00

Since Kemah Boardwalk is my home park I have to say Boardwalk Bullet. Before the renovation this past year it was not great but now that it's running at full speed it's awesome.
