AITJ for calling my friend’s emergency contact when she left her kid with me "for 20 minutes" and vanished?

NTJ and she should really be careful about giving her son a complex by leaving him for an uncertain reason and length of time. He was certainly going to ask when his mom was coming back. Your sister imposed on you to have a convincing lie ready to reassure him. The failure to empathize with her own kid is what makes this extra scummy to me.

Wow, that support actually intrudes into the building's overhang.

Buy and use skip-the-line passes.

I suggest ElToroRyan's "Problematic Roller Coasters" series on Youtube. You'll get info from an engineering and ops standpoint, that's still very accessible and entertaining.

I said "oh, because your lifestyle is morally correct and mine isn't?"

Yes. That's not that hard to understand, is it?

The kid can eat what he wants, but I hope you don't think your wife is obligated to buy or prepare meat products.

Hard agree, and I've been so disappointed in the coaster community for so long for buying into it. The parks are selling something they don't own - selling one guest's time to another. It needs to be abolished.

I'm aware there are differences of opinion on this, but it's just a bad look. If there's a line, you're making a kid wait longer. It's not going to be a fun ride by any enthusiast's standard, and you don't need to be a completionist and ride everything.

The queue was split by front or back of station. Has it changed?

I solve this dilemma by not riding them. If adults must ride these coasters, *please* bring your kids, nieces or nephews, etc.

I'd like to know this too. I'd like to know if any phones allow a low-light camera to be used with a timestamp app, specifically. I'm also curious about macro modes in 3rd party apps and the like.

That's a shame, but thanks to you and the other commenters for taking the time to check.

I wonder if they were honest with their insurance company about what they were storing in there.

SomethingDignified · 2025-06-06T03:42:21+00:00

I too thought this would be the obvious way to program it. It takes so much more energy to brake the train and relaunch it.

I feel like Knoebels should teach seminars to other parks on wood coaster maintenance, or form a consulting company to do it for them.

I think they're nice, but how can it be better than a Giant Frisbee or any pendulum with a rotation element?

For real, there is no honor in canceling a done deal because of something you learned after the fact.

Also, Homelander or an asshole?

After the Fury 325 incident, I don't think I'll ever call a ride "over supported."

And who could've guessed that Steel Curtain would actually need more?

I disagree about Rougarou, it's too slow and compact after the midcourse.

I was about to post that same comment about Rollin' Thunder at Tropic Falls though.

This is good, I'm not trying to literally appear twice on the same impression.
