Why doesn't that surprise me? CP is pobably Ohio Ed's largest customer, so of course they'd have things fixed fast.

That's cool that it got fixed so fast.

I think saying that Ohio Ed "switched some wires" might be a bit of an understatement. When I hear the word "wire" I think of the small wires I run across prototype boards and the wiring in my house... not the giagantic power lines that power some of the state's most power-hungry machines.

It would be very interesting just how much power CP needs on your average day.

Enough for a small town.


New Season of 'The Office'. TONIGHT!!!

CP IS a small town. at least during the summer. You have people living on and off-point, resturants, pools, police, a mayor (Dick Kinzel), and visitors.

And don't forget the mayor of Lighthouse Point (Mr. Scott).

It affected at least one guest; me. I could have gotten 5 of my 10 maXair rides in during Joe Cool had it not been for the power outage. Oh well, I still got to 100, and I had a nice, short conversation with Aaron before heading back for 4 rides on Skyhawk.

Three things you need to fix anything in the universe: duct tape, WD-40, and a hammer. Duct tape if it moves and it shouldn't, WD-40 if it doesn't move and should, and the hammer as the last resort.

That's, ummmmmm, pathetic. At least it re-opened and you got to ride it at all.

What's pathetic? I'm just stating what happened. I know at least 3 other guests walked by that were going to ride maXair in the three minutes I was there talking.

Oh, and if you're refering to my ride count, please, get a life. Plenty of others here keep track of their ride count on their favorite ride, and mine happens to be maXair. Excuse me for liking the ride. *** Edited 7/15/2006 3:37:23 AM UTC by BlueStreak64***

I don't think you're using the "get a life" in the right way there.

You basically said it "almost" affected you from getting a even 100 rides on it. It's not like the ride didn't open.

TTD is my favorite ride, but I've ridden it less than any other major ride at the park. I didn't even ride it my last trip and it didn't even bother me. It just gave me another reason to come back.

Anyway, it just really bothers me when someone says "get a life", especially when it doesn't really make sense to use it.

LOL - "get a life" says the guy with the maxair ride count. :rolleyes:

No, I wasn't referring to your ride count, either. I was referring to your bitching about not being able to get 5 of your rides in while the power was out.

Seriously, at least you got to ride it at all.

I think you were reading my post as my being angry about not being able to ride in the morning. I wasn't, that is the downfall of the internet. I was simply stating that if it weren't for the power outage, surge, whatever you want to call it, I could have gotten in 5 of my ten rides without a wait. Sorry if I came across as angry, but I probably need some sleep, so I'm sure that isn't helping things.

ERT really spoils some people.

Got that right. :) Probably about 30 or more of my rides have been during ERT. *** Edited 7/15/2006 3:58:08 AM UTC by BlueStreak64***

I don't understand why you are arguing at all honestly. And I don't know how you could take 5 maXair rides in a row. I'd be hurling after 2 or 3.

PS Gomez: your website seems really really really slow.

^Seems to be working fine right now. Try it again and PM me if you have any issues.

Wimp. ;) I love getting asked how I can take so many cycles in a row. One of the best questions after "Why?" that I always get asked.
