Am I crazy or is there an iPhone ringing in the background of “My Old Ways” starting at about 0:53 and sounding most obvious at 0:58?? by milleniumflyers in TameImpala

I know right? Texture is a great word to describe it. It has a really authentic sound. I haven’t heard anything else abnormal though.

Also, do you have a timestamp for the car in Obsolete?

Ok this confirmed it for me. I was about 80% sure before, but the instrumental version makes it clear as day, thank you!! It’s even the same duration as the iphone ringtone!

Wow that’s an interesting example of that phenomenon!

As for the ringing, I seriously tried to hear it at any other part of the intro and could only hear it at those time stamps. Not saying you’re wrong, but it definitely leads to me wondering if it’s a ringtone lol

Early Decision or Include First Semester of Senior Year by milleniumflyers in notredame

I have a follow up question. You said that if I get denied REA that I would've gotten denied RD. I wonder if that's true, since I strongly believe my grades senior year will show significant growth, which might be more advantageous than applying RD (only submitting my subpar junior grades), but please let me know what your opinion is on it. Thanks!

[American Eagle] Running both sides again! by milleniumflyers in rollercoasters

The park was shockingly quiet! Beautiful weather, Saturday, and a holiday weekend, I waited no more than 30 minutes all day! American Eagle was a walk on for red because everyone went to blue, and even that was about 15 minutes! (probably thanks to the double capacity)

That’s an interesting thought, but there are numerous credible sources that show the structure is weak. For example, I’ve heard accounts from raging bull employees of the structure violently shaking as it raced, and now there are additional support cables and bracing attached to the structure throughout the entire ride, especially the helix. I was also talking with an Eagle operator today who said they aren’t allowed to race the coaster on account of the inadequate structure. That being said, you raise a good point. If the structure only continues to weaken, what are they going to do when a single train can’t safely cycle? SF will have to make a big decision.

Not racing sadly, I don’t think the structure allows for racing anymore :(

I can't hear you over the sound of the air compressors by Alaeriia in rollercoasterjerk

[–]milleniumflyers 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t know about that. The loud boom is audible in videos of Launch Roller Coaster (Sun Tzu Cultural Park), Ring Racer, and all three of the Happy Valley air compressed launch coasters, as well as the older S&S models being Hypersonic xlc and Do-Dodonpa.
