The Interpreter

And you still associate with it?

A lot here....

Was Lost Coaster of Superstition Mountain running?

Time for a revisit, or a new visit.

Not likely as long as Cedar Fair owns the park. And PTC would have a say as the trains' manufacturer successor...

Beast and Racer have never allowed one click rides with the "new" restraints.

And Beast was never painted. Ever. It was stained. There is a huge difference.

Not to mention Cedar Fair is not Paramount Parks. Fer Suhr.

Size is not necessarily an asset.

Singy/Songy/Whiney didn't say it...

For olde times' sake... Terp, who misses Nights of Fire.

In DC, we prefer half smokes. In more ways than one, Ben.

We don't know what we don't know. -- Rumsfeld. Terp -- cross threadin'

Back to decoding: Let us catch up. Terp -- who can still cut the mustard.

Putz's Creamy Whip has really good ones. Terp, cross threadin' on sound footing.

Some say it'll be a great coaster...

From a park whose Son of Beast monument flame is typically snuffed out? Really?

...You guys...You Guys...You Guys...You Guys... Some feminist should slap her!* * with a lawsuit. EDIT: THEN you add that such as video! EDIT 2: Put it back! It's precious! EDIT 3: Thank You!

That thing's that old now. Next someone will tell me this is Kings Island's 45th season...

Been listening to Terp, huh.Sounds like a bad pun he'd make...... There's no such thing as a bad pun. -- Terp Terp -- cross threadin'

...sounds like any street in downtown DC. Well, except for Taco Bell. And big black glass buildings.

I'm sorry. Terp -- who'd rather go to Mt. Olympus than ride that thing.

In the year 2525 If indeed, mankind's still alive...

The reality is the entire family is. Hopefully, there are responsible relatives to take in the kids (grandparents, uncle, aunt, etc.). Otherwise, the kids are likely to become wards of the state under CPS (Child Protective Services). That well meaning but chronically underfunded agency can be a nightmare. Don't make the mistake of assuming that this family is poor, underclass or of any given background. Alcoholism, and that is likely what it is, is no respecter of class, income, gender or any other category. And those affected by it, which include the family, friends, neighbors and community, struggle mightily and often vainly. And, there are those who will tell you the affliction is genetic. Others will say it's environmental. Either way or in combination, there is cause for great concern here. Social drinkers aren't stone drunk letting their unlicensed 15 year old drive 120 miles at 8 AM. I would give a dollar to know what the kid was driving. And if he was actually sober. He may not have been. I also feel terrible for the 12 year old sister. At least the kids have a story for show and tell/papers: What I Did Last Summer. Are they ashamed? Proud?

Son of Beast and its true cost...
