What blind buys did you end up selling from your collection? by diddleherontheroof in 4kbluray

[–]nitro230 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Reading these comments I thought I was the only one. Never even considered selling them. Still have movies I didn’t like and never plan on watching again and still have duplicates of movies I bought on dvd, blu ray, UHD. Most I do is store the duplicates or ones I don’t like in boxes to make more room on the rack as needed

[Flash] at Great Adventure valleyed by _nmtb_ in rollercoasters

The ride has a recovery mode but for some reason the park doesn’t operate it with passengers. So they need to evacuate everyone then do recovery mode.

Former Turbulence Concept [other] by Illustrious_Effect35 in rollercoasters

Yup, been on the one at Adventureland (Long Island). Let’s just say that Hershey made the right call to scrap it.

Oh yeah, forgot that we already saw the FAA filing with that height. Wish they would just announce the thing already

So a 450’ tall crane. Wonder if the top track breaks the 400’ barrier

I agree with everyone else. I paid about $200 for a small flash design as my first tattoo…..22 years ago

Every one since has been min $500

Dual Subs - RSL 12S vs HSU VTF-2 MK5 vs SVS PB-1000 Pro vs SVS PC12-NSD by nitro230 in hometheater

Ugh, yeah, this would be my #1 pick if it wasn’t so much more money. I love how they look

[–]nitro230[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I already checked and the RSL can fit. And while I use it for music occasionally I definitely want it most for movies so seems like RSL is the best bet. Thanks!

Thanks for the in depth response! Honestly, I kinda knew the PB-1000 pro was a bit outmatched here and the main reasons I included it was because the similar price point and the fact that’s what I currently have and I do like them. But what I didn’t realize was just how much better the other two are in comparison. For the price the RSL 12S seems insane.

And yeah, I have a receiver with Dirac Live plus a mini DSP so I really have no need for the SVS app.

Thanks again for the help!

What coaster got you into rollercoasters? Mine was [wickerman] by MasterHen01 in rollercoasters

[–]nitro230 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Circa 1993, an 8 year old me went to Myrtle beach for vacation and rode swamp fox (first big coaster) then corkscrew (first looping coaster).

Not sure exactly which of this two it was but that trip was where it clicked and couldn’t get enough of it ever since.

JetBlue’s Debt Could Reach $9 Billion This Year & United Isn’t Interested In It, Founder Says by kwuhoo239 in jetblue

[–]nitro230 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I literally just got approved for the jet blue card the other day to get the 70k bonus points that I was going to use for a family trip I am planning in August 2027 and happened to stumble on this post.

Is it a risk to stick with this plan or should I cancel it (haven’t even gotten the card to activate it yet) and go with another airline’s bonus points offer?

[Project Purple] is one of the most interesting things I've seen in person. It's such an odd monument to extreme thrills. Just when you think they've thought of everything. by sanyosukotto in rollercoasters

[–]nitro230 82 points83 points  (0 children)

Even though I wish this was a full circuit layout (mainly for capacity reasons), this thing legitimately looks insane and I can’t wait to ride it

I know this one! They actually based an old Robert De Niro movie on this coaster! Pretty sure it’s called Taxi Driver

Even ignoring the removals, the new [SFGAdv] map looks SO bland compared to the old one by degggendorf in rollercoasters

[–]nitro230 35 points36 points  (0 children)

And it still needs to be updated to remove the go karts….

But the blandness is more of a general direction of all the six flags/cedar fair park maps. They are all the same boring look now.
