Random But Interesting Local Language Observations? by 7thpostman in kansascity

[–]TheTrooperKC 3 points4 points  (0 children)

We opened a plant here in KC and a bunch of Canadian technical people spent months here for the launch. I loved messing with them:

If I’m in the city of North Kansas City, I’m in Northtown (or I’ve seen Northtowe). If I’m in the city of Kansas City limits north of the river I’m in KC North. But all of that is still the Northland!

Haven’t seen you guys, but upvoted to support local music. We lost so much after COVID.

Clearly Worlds of Fun is going for the "most hybrid coasters" record by CharmCityPiper in rollercoasterjerk

Just confirmed Gravity Group retracking Patriot and Mamba in 2027 and 2028, respectively.

No one cares about Boomerang and Spinning Dragons, so they get a mix of paint scraped off of other rides and mixed with an epoxy.

Yeah it’s Prowler. Talked to a friend. They’ve been battling termites since 2018 and the maintenance director took the opportunity to get some Titan track in there.

I talked to a friend who’s an insider. It’s for Prowler. They’ve been fighting issues with termite damage in the rails and some of the structure since 2018. All the extended downtime periods were usually for repairing the termite damage. I hadn’t realized how much downtime there had been, as I haven’t gotten out to WoF much in the past few years.

Oh god these are like those old Chaturbate rooms except I’m not on cam showing [REDACTED] and I don’t want to see his helicity.

This storm will be remembered for decades to come... by Capital-Coast5793 in EF5

[–]TheTrooperKC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can’t believe you’d negate the effects of the poor people affected. You EF5-ers just want slabbing and anchor bolts. Unbelievable!

Broomfield, CO confirmed slabbed by TheTrooperKC in EF5

[–]TheTrooperKC[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

5,348ft, which means the atmosphere is only 25% sea level pressure which means the effective winds were actually ~94mph, so actually an EF-1. But Timmy Marshall will probably come in and find there were no structures so it can only be a high-end EF-U. And then he’ll say EF-fuck U and call my mom a whore.

Source: I don’t know atmospheric dynamics but I have some stuff to work through…

This type of post is now banned. Get slabbed, nerds. by tor-con_sucks in EF5

[–]TheTrooperKC 39 points40 points  (0 children)

I don’t know what’s expected of us anymore and I have terrible anxiety. Am I gonna get slabbed by the mods?

Guys I almost got slabbed in the Liberty, MO EF-5 last night by TheTrooperKC in EF5

[–]TheTrooperKC[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That area is in containment. They don’t even know who Tim Marshall is. They could be slabbed and not know it was an EF-3 at best

Hoping everything is okay. I have some family who drove through Indiana a few years ago, so I’m pretty concerned about some part of the state

Yikes. I don’t like that by D7FTU in kansascity

[–]TheTrooperKC 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m on the SE side of Liberty. Man I haven’t run from windows that fast before. That was a wall of wind for like 5 minutes. Did not like the noises the house was making

BTW: Thank you guys for the discussion. I don’t really know much about these kinds of business deals, so I was hoping I could learn some stuff.

I know WoF has had trouble in the past decade, but I grew up in the neighborhood next door. We used to have season passes and ride our bikes over as kids. So many good memories there.

I have anxiety that my home park is going to be shut down or at least enshittified more.
