Yeah still have one on my phone, still use it daily. I won’t buy a phone without one. Still rocking the apple wired headphones 10 years later. Still have a headphone jack in my car.
Man I haven’t seen price anywhere. Looks like FECs could get in on the fun. Also, it has to be a smaller track size and gauge than conventional RMC ibox shit right? I hope these sell like hotcakes, I always wondered why no one had bought the family coasters they’ve had listed for a while.
It doesn’t seem like it’s technically that crazy of a ride to keep open. Structural problems or what? God bless whatever park gets the first s&s axis lol
A 6-year-old boy in Florida was left severely injured at a theme park after apparently falling from a ride that was nearly two dozen feet above where he was found, authorities said.
New from Kbin. I’ve been using my Ender 3 V2 3d printer for a while but would love something that could cut foam, paper, and wood, as well as burning designs. Are there machines that can do this for cheap?
I second the k40. I’ve had mine a few years and it’s a champ. I have exhaust hooked up so everything gets vented. Those open air diode lasers scare me I’d def burn my eyes out.
So I recently just got on Ka and Stormrunner recently, after missing TTD by a week, and xcelerator at knots the previous 2 years. And I don’t know, the top hat seems to play second fiddle to the absolute batshit insane launch. Like, you could launch me to 120mph and then hit the brake run and I still think it’d be like, 60-70% as good. The top speed is sick though, and I do love the reverse spike on like say Mr freeze. I’m sure it’ll be a blast, but Im mostly curious about throughput with 3 trains.
Also, does anyone think they had this being planned out as far back as removing wicked twister? They seem like kinda similar layout wise, and would look similar in the skyline. Still cool though.
Inspired by an Airtime Thrills video on the fifteen biggest coaster buzzkills, what would you consider to be the biggest coaster buzzkills in your opinion?...
I don’t like how it’s hard to put your hands up on a lot of B&Ms. Trims that hit to hard, getting stapled, having people who’s hands are up hit you in the face, any kind of a rattle with OTSRs. Whatever tho I’m good at ignoring that shit and having fun.
Do you like a tactile click? Are you a sucker for screws? Or something you can put in any direction? Maybe it's yours or another country's power plugs?...
With no raptors built last year, one ground up and one conversion, which coasters are you hoping for RMC to look at for next year? I don’t have high hopes for RMC/Boss with Selim but, I can only hope. It’s so rough even with the trackwork that gets done on it. I think it has the potential to be the best RMC conversion yet....
Yeah I get the sentiment. But if you rode the boss you’d understand (maybe…lol) American thunder is fantastic and screaming eagle fills the historic woodie checkbox. But the boss, with the gerstlauer trains is just awful. And I mean the park tries, you can see lots of the valleys have been retracked like this year. Regardless it feels like a losing battle. Like the last double up, from where they removed the helix, feels like in snowboarding/skiing where you “hit the knuckle”.
Like the end of the ride feels pretty similar to this:
Giant canyon swing always gets me. Obvi it has the positives and floater like any s&s swing, but the acrophobia of feeling like youre about to be hurled off a cliff, combined with the amazing scenery makes it such a top notch installation for me.
I'm not a huge roller coaster guy, so I actually hadn't gone on any rides during all of my adult life until I recently visited Linnanmäki while travelling in Finland....
Yeah man. If you hold on to whatever you’re essentially negating the forces. I pretty much go full limp ragdoll mode. (except for holding my hands up). Wooden coasters that are a little more textured I will hold on, but for the majority of rides yes.
How many of you actually use the headphone jack on your phone?
On a recent post, there were a lot of comments, which said that they were missing the headphones on newer mobile devices....
