No LOC, A&O x 3. Allergies: PCN & Prednisone. No acute distress. PE: Eyes PERL 2mm, Cardio: s1, s2, s3 heard, Pulm: Heard, bilat, equal. PMHx: HTN, DB-1.

He can Google it..If not..I'll gladly create a Let me Google That For You link

Now known as Freedom's Call Used to be known as Tattoo..

Epistaxis isn't serious, don't be bummed, just can be easy or actually hard to resolve Soon..I actually need to pull my watch off & sync it with my tablet here, see what I did today, but bout to get dressed and leave here soon.. Medic coverage for Tattoo tonight till 0000 Then weekend starts

Actually the more I spend on platform, there are two other individuals I've noticed that always everytime seem to be done with checks/cross checks after everyone else, he's one of the quicker people on plat. Like I said, if you can do it right, do it If not..you catch my drift, I've said it enough You have no clue how much I want to take the mic and show them how it's done so many times. Which is another point to bring up, let the person spieling be a non safety check integrated member, it works quite well for GK and a few other CP rides. Don't even get me started on seeing the op in controls spieling..

I don't even have a desk anymore..let alone a chair Today was rough too..Actually had to open sim lab rooms/training rooms to get some triaged people through. Had one guy who I had a pretty good epistaxis and couldn't control the bleeding (hit the ground face first, actually busted off a bit of nose and deviated septum..Fun day

Well **** those restraints are alot more open than I anticipated.. Major butt clenching for the first ride here soon

Not always true However, if a family is ahead, and one part of the group is behind, how about the family in front take a few steps back, or let those people pass as they wait. Noone will ever see an issue with that, and no ride op will have issues. Someone going ahead to meet their group/family, alright, well if you want to ride as a group get in line as a group. You leave the line, you forefit the spot. Using the first thing as an example is a way to not ensure any issues whatsoever. That is line jumping, and at some parks, especially a certain SIX park, this is enforced quite well.

lol...I hit that by 1330 at work everyday xD

It's the crew in all, not just him that causes that issue, however that stacking is not as bad..trust me..I've seen worse at other rides.

Exactly my point.. If they can do it, let them, if they can't, stop Then drop and roll

Mr Segway @ CP was a very enjoyable regular, I have yet to see him this season on my visits, I hope to see him at some point, we have had great conversations before. He has a medical condition and does not ride the rides ever. He's quite fond of watching Dragster launch. He has bumped people from time to time, but nothing too intense or crazy, nor is it intentional. Now comparing him to a few other regulars we have, he is one of the best. Comparing him to a stinky or an old running marathoner, I'll take Mr Segway anyday

So, I hit a video to watch a few clips and enjoy them on Youtube today, and thought of something. I compared the old Beast pre opening video to the current POV, and was actually shocked. So using the old video I'm sure everyone here has seen before tunnels were built/etc and the current released POV, I noticed quite a difference. I put the two side by side and put the camera at several points to compare timing, and was amazed by the results. It honestly seems like the old Beast that was considered wild, agressive, out of this world, and insanely fast, really wasn't at all, whatsoever. Here's what I observed: Leaving station=Current Beast much faster to lift hill engagement, old Beast seems to go quite slow here Lift Hill=Old Beast climbs much quicker then almost "stalls" at the top before crest, current setup creeps, block clears speed, then creep up top Drop/Tunnel/Turn=Old beast seems much faster down the drop and through the turn/drop, much more agressive airtime it looks here, current not bad but seems a tad slow Brake Shed=First major difference, old Beast with longer brake run length slows down quick and takes quite a hit, current slows down right at end where drive wheels were located back then. Even then current Beast seems to have more speed through here and exiting the brake shed. This is where things get surprising. Post Brake Shed-->Lift=This is where current Beast seems to dominate, it flies through the turns and tunnel(s). Old Beast post brake shed seemed sluggish, and honestly not that crazy as it always was mentioned Lift Hill #2=This was another surprising find. Old Beast seeming slower almost slows down completely on the hill w/ anti rollback ratchets (makes sense for the placement now) and then barely hits the lift hill and goes up. Current Beast, honestly I see no major reason for the rollbacks, and then it shoots up the lift hill, almost a good 1/3 or more up. Then the current itiration seems to climb quicker than old Beast. Finale/Brake Run=This was very very very close. Current Beast seemed to have more speed post Helix however and hit brakes first but barely, it's too close for me to really critisize unline the first half of the ride. New Beast was climbing lift two before old Beast even engaged the hill. So I ask everyone this, and figured open it to debate amongst us. Was Beast really that great and fast/exciting/insane? Is it moreover us being nostalgic enthusiasts as per ususal? Is it just comparing to what was out back then (it had insane laterals/distance/etc). Was it just more intense in a certain aspect. I always hear KI enthusiasts say old Beast was 10x better than today, but on POV it seems like we have a better product now than when it opened originally in these videos. Obviously I wasn't around KI all these years, so figured I'd ask y'all and those who have been here that long. One thing I did notice too lastly, Beast still had lube issues back then too. Heard the wheels squeal quite alot in sections just like it does today at times when it's not freshly lubed.

Oh I love the guy too, he's fantastic.. That was for the Diamond..Beast deal.. Someone needs proper application of fire under ass

^why is that even an issue

I brought that up somewhere before, this vid has hit the forum someitme in the past year

^^why.....Why oh why

No, in light of recent CF sales It'll be a Just Add Water sale

My only worry now is with all the problems and press could potentially cause the park to want to remove it. Think about Wildcat at CP. Was certified for the 2012 year and everything, but bam, gone. Only thing we could guess was the press it received due to the collision. I highly doubt this would happen to FOF, however, it is a thought in the back of my head presently

Happy to see them working over there. Will be interesting to watch and see what the plans are.

Regardless..I doubt you see a wood coaster next year whatsoever..Gatekeeper is still only a year old. Could be fence, patio, cabins, coaster maint, slingshot stuff, etc. It's Tony..till I see something relevant I don't follow it

Still a gimmick.. But I doubt you'll see RMC in the parks anytime soon. After Intamin issues, and RMC issues, I doubt you will see the park go with either of them. They are in the mood of high safety and reliability lately. Look at the slew of B&M's to hit the parks as of late, and look at the ideas they state behind them.
