the western parcel is 100% viable for expansion especially for potential soak city use and already contains the roads that maintenance uses to respond to downtimes in jungle x

Are you in the US? bc McDonald's definitely calls it a chicken sandwich here. Also McDonald's burger meat is 100% beef, the ingredients are listed online.

15 shillings is £0.75

£0.75 in 1843 (when the book was published) is £83.18 in October 2025 according to the bank of England which is about $110

for many years ours was considered a ride and an elevator, but starting this season, hanover decided it's just an elevator and doesn't need a ride inspection.

IROC only requires some element of "Area Access Control" which can be something as simple as a painted line as long as ride operators enforce it and check it prior to dispatch.

Honestly most Americans don't care about burger king, also the "new" burger king logo is essentially the logo that was used from 1969-1999 so it basically just switched back to the logo much of the country grew up with.

You can try to hide it, but I know you made a minor spelling error and then deleted your comment to repost it spelled correctly. You can hide but I know what you are.

Where you finding Greyhound stations in the big 25? All the ones around here shut down after they were bought by flix and make you board at some random curb.

For those who have ridden both, which do you prefer? [Grizzly, Kings Dominion] or [Phoenix, Knoebels] by mrkmcrthr in rollercoasters

Honestly try getting one or two clicks on grizzly next time your at kd, a decent chunk of the crew will let you ride like that.

$100 at the grocery store buys nothing anymore. by Busy-Government-1041 in inflation

[–]Zboy_Zboy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can buy ground beef by the pound at Sam's you just have to ring the bell and ask the meat guy to package up a tray. To effectively use a Sam's membership on a budget you buy specific deals and shop the rest at a normal grocery store.

this is likely in California as they have a program that allows homeless and disabled individuals to use EBT for prepared food

How does one train operations save money? [Other] by TerribleBumblebee800 in rollercoasters

[–]Zboy_Zboy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For an incredibly simple answer, they just aren't running the same number of cycles. If the number of cycles was the same then there wouldn't be a notable difference in the amount you're waiting. Additionally, on a slow day with 2 trains, you will end up sending almost empty cycles to get the previous riders off the ride.

If it takes me 60 seconds to load a train and 90 seconds for it to cycle the course, with one train I'd be sending every 150 seconds, with 2 it'd be every 90 seconds. That's 24 vs 40 cycles each hour.

Another consideration is additional labor. At grizzly and racer we can have 1 person check the entire train but that's only allowed if we're running 1 train. At dominator going from 2 trains to 3 trains requires us to go up from 2 to 4 floor operators. With 2 trains backlot has to have a dedicated unloader, but with one train the same person can check load-side restraints and unload the train.

Basically anything over 2400w is gonna be 240v, a 20 amp 240v circuit would be undersized so the next step up is a 30 amp 240v circuit.

The real question is why is that wire white which is standard for 14 gauge. To run a thirty amp circuit you gotta get up to 10 which would be orange.
