Skyscraper...

c'mon guys.

Well if skyscraper is going to rape me i sure as hell won't want to ride. ;)

If you've ever seen the video of the portly child who started to slip out of his harness on that ride, and you saw the look on his face, then you would surely understand the nickname.

The one that Mullet sent us?

The one thats been circulating on the internet and tv for YEARS. But yeah, the one mullett showed you.

They're on a slingshot though, not a skyscraper although the harnesses look very similar. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=11pkdlI-FLI&feature=related

I was going to say...thats not Skyscraper.

Ah potato, potahto. I just hope we don't have too many messes to clean up this year at the Raper. "Protein Spills" as we called them at Carowinds.

Ok, there is a serious, serious problem with calling a ride "raper". You want to do it at the park, between employees, fine. But I'm sure it wouldn't be good to call a ride "n****r" or "Columbine" so why the hell would "raper" be any more appropriate?

And, someone at PointBuzz takes something WAY too seriously again.

There is nothing to NOT take seriously about rape.

There is work being done on Skyhawk and Wicked Twister today.

With work going on inside the park such as it is, one might be inclined to think they're opening sometime in the next few weeks. Odd.

NO way! lol. But what are they doing to WT? Track inspection?

Track inspection, loading on the trains, checking the electrical and safety systems, general cleaning.

All the stuff you would do if you closed something for 6 months and were re-opening it. More trains are run during the last week when employees are training, than are right now when "testing" involves much more than sending a handful of trains through the course.

That obese kid almost dying was a lot funnier than that tired ventriloquist bit.
His neck and lack of chin definition saved him. Hilarious the sheer joy on one side and terror on the other. Loved it.

Ditto.

No no no... you're supposed to choose one completely unrelated and non-sensical single word and then post it. "Ditto" is akin to saying the same thing. Fail!

;)

Rats!
