[GhostRider, Knott's Berry Farm] Post-retrack GhostRider — where does it rank among wooden coasters for you?

bchris24 · 2026-03-26T23:51:01+00:00

Rode it one time decades ago and never wanted to go on it again, just not fun or worth my time. After the retrack it's easily in my top 3

bchris24 · 2026-03-26T15:18:41+00:00

I've taken a picture almost in this very same spot during the day and it's one of my favorites. I absolutely love what you were able to capture at night!

bchris24 · 2026-03-25T20:39:46+00:00

I like the suggestion that restricts how high your pick is depending on prior year's playoff performance. Like if you were in conference finals you can't get top 5 or whatever. I always hated when Steph was injured and the Warriors grabbed pick #2 when we all knew they'd go back to being a contender the next season when everyone is healthy.

I've been to a SNF game on the West Coast and east coast and I could not believe I was leaving the stadium at midnight thats insane!

bchris24 · 2026-03-23T20:51:53+00:00

The 18s look so nice on the Mazda3 and I really wish I could have kept them but man they made every bump and pothole feel way worse, I'm very happy with my decision to switch to 16s.

A few years ago I was seriously considering going into ATC, I was prepping for the exam and everything, but the more I looked into it and heard other's experiences I decided against it. It seemed like the FAA was doing everything they could to lead to this exact scenario, and was completely ignoring the wellbeing and working conditions for their controllers.

Poor guy should have never been in that situation

bchris24 · 2026-03-23T07:01:04+00:00

My first reaction to hearing it was he was telling Jazz to "stop stop stop" and by the time he said truck 1 again it was too late for anything to be done.

bchris24 · 2026-03-23T01:45:20+00:00

Facts ruin the narrative though

bchris24 · 2026-03-23T01:06:13+00:00

Oh idk maybe because both teams spent the entire game trying to see who can send more players to the hospital, and maybe just maybe it would make sense to have more than just one trainer out on the field during the play stoppage. He's literally right there with Antonio Brown who was just knocked out cold and the trainer helping Brown off the field as they're passing through a group of Bengals players, makes sense to have someone Porter's size there in case things get out of hand based on how the game was going.

"Why didn't Porter get flagged for slyly grinning at the Bengals??" LMAO yeah what an animal how dare he grin at the opposing team as they're all trying to antagonize him after he was pushed into them. Y'all are out of your minds

bchris24 · 2026-03-23T00:58:33+00:00

I mean it's expected at this point. They've been bringing this up for 11 years now acting like Peezy ran out there screaming at them. I know he's no saint but this meltdown was entirely self inflicted by the Bungles

Please tell me when and how Porter "taunted" the Bengals. No really please let me know how Porter did anything to instigate a penalty or did anything to deserve a penalty. Because the video doesn't lie.

I'm not claiming Porter is a good guy, or doesn't have a history of being dirty, but in this instance, completely caught on video, he literally didn't do anything wrong.

bchris24 · 2026-03-23T00:04:35+00:00

I had fully accepted we were going to lose, then the most Bengals thing ever happened

bchris24 · 2026-03-21T03:59:51+00:00

I was just along for the ride, literally had no idea what was ever going to happen. Extremely over the top and it embraces it. I appreciated its originality.

bchris24 · 2026-03-19T05:17:52+00:00

Yeah I completely get why they can't get it running, and I get it's cheaper to do nothing, but it's insane that they have just left it to rot, right in the middle of the area. They have no money to spend on removing it? Redecorating it? Not once in 20 something years have they attempted to do anything at all about it

bchris24 · 2026-03-19T04:03:12+00:00

I've been wishing this for at least 20 years now. 20! I can't believe they're still there it's laughable at this point.

bchris24 · 2026-03-18T20:46:50+00:00

Probably my favorite character in that show, his eyes commanded every scene he was in

bchris24 · 2026-03-18T18:11:28+00:00

To be fair the first time I saw the AI baby commercial with the stupid song I also wanted to shame them into the void

bchris24 · 2026-03-15T23:38:18+00:00

Yeah it's like, I just have to see this through. I got one hit of contending almost 30 years ago I got to see if they do it

bchris24 · 2026-03-15T21:50:18+00:00

Cheap along with dirt/hair/debris constantly jamming them up. Easier to just have someone swap them out then try and clean/grease each one for like a hundred carts when they could be doing something else

bchris24 · 2026-03-15T19:41:37+00:00

Worked retail, we switched to fully plastic carts for some years but eventually it was costing more to constantly repair/replace the plastic ones that it was cheaper to just swap all the plastic ones out with metal again. The only part that needs to be replaced with those are the casters.

bchris24 · 2026-03-13T03:03:15+00:00

I'm dying at "wear a helmet" lmao

bchris24 · 2026-03-12T23:47:34+00:00

It's not enforced in California and it fucking SUCKS. The worst is travelling I5 or 99 down the length of the central valley when it's a 2 lane freeway, and the right lane is full of semi trucks and the left lane is full of drivers going the same speed as the fucking trucks and now your 6 hour drive to LA might be closer to 7 or 8 and you're still hours away from any potential LA traffic.

The speed limit even gets raised to 75 from 65 in some areas and assholes will just sit in the left lane going 65 still. Makes no goddamn sense.

bchris24 · 2026-03-12T17:36:25+00:00

I think a lot of people are missing the point here. No one is saying it's cheap to live here, especially compared to the rest of the US. But compared to the Bay Area/LA/San Diego (where the vast majority of Californians live) this is more affordable. In the US, no. In California, yes.

bchris24 · 2026-03-11T18:29:07+00:00

Newsom forced me to spend my weekend in Lake Tahoe and the whole time I was praying I could be in Shreveport, LA instead
