...and the passphrase is cedarpoint

(edited to include the passphrase, I'd forgotten to put it in there)

I guess the detail everyone kept missing was the twisted spike on both ends. Everyone kept guessing a dueling. How would something like that duel anyway? It just goes back and forth. I don't see how a dueling aspect would work on this type of coaster.

DOHHH!!

I can't believe no one tried a passphrase so painfully obvious in hindsight.

don't be so sure... they come up with the craziest technology to pull things off... i don't doubt that one day one of these things will duel

I can't believe I dind't think of cedarpoint as a passphrase  D'OH :)

I love fall...
The cool, brisk air...
The brightly colored leaves...
The amusement park announcements...

The passphrase wouldn't have done anyone any good without the keys, though, and those weren't available until just now, either.

PGP works on multiple levels.  You need the key, but the key itself is unlocked by the passphrase.  Without both, you're hosed.

What I was hoping for as far as dueling..was two track sitting side by side..more or less two of the same coaster..and they both started at different ends...one shooting your foward first...the other one sitting next to it..shooting you backward first..and as they came to the middle they would "pass" one another...this would also help with the capacity issue..yet..that would still mean they were two coasters...oh well..but thats what I meant by duel :)
