RipCord/SkyScraper '08!

Its been a good run so far. Do any of the buildings have cable in them and if they do is Vs. included ?

Yeah the dorms have cable, but I couldn't tell you at all if they include Versus.

Hey everyone, my name is Ken. I got hired 3 weeks ago but just found this site. I hail from Michigan. I process in on the 9th.

You know, I've been thinking about leaving the mustache when I shave the goatee off. Hmmmm......

Welcome to Ken! Three new people in one night? Wow.....

Hooray, more crew! 6 more days for me (and a few others)... I can't wait!

So how difficult is this job? I imagine Ripcord is a little more complicated than having to push some buttons to make a roller coaster go.

Yeah there's a little more training involved than on a typical ride, but its really easy once you get the hang of it. You'll get plenty of help from all the returners, too.

Yeah, I think we have six people returning? It is easy to pick up from the training, because every position is repetitive, and after you do it so many times you will probably be doing it in your sleep. There's three main positions out on the flight line and then one more which is flight suiting people up. You'll learn one position at a time at a rather slow pace. I could go on and on, but I'll save it for when you get there and then things will make more sense.

Comparing the two, a lot more complicated! But still pretty easy once you get the hang of it. But it certainly isn't as easy as throwing up a thumb and saying "Clear".

Ouch... that's pretty harsh.

That wasn't nice. They push down on lapbars, too :-D

^^It was meant to be;)

Sounds like i got onto the right crew

You are going to love it.

Yeah, we are, how do you say it, a little unorthodox. Some would say out of our minds, but I like to think of it as unorthodox.

Yay! for site controller's cards. ;)

Hey everyone,

My name is Nicole and I'm the TL this year. I'm really excited and think we're gonna have an awesome crew this year, just promise me none of you are going to call in a bomb threat and I think it'll be alright. :) Because OSU is so awesome, I'm stuck at school for a while, my process in date is June 13th, see you all soon!

p.s. if i cry the first time i ride skyscraper, dont judge me...

Hi Nicole. I look forward to meeting you in June.

I'm sitting here trying to avoid packing stuff. There is definitely a fine line between bringing enough and bringing too much. I'm trying to stay on the just enough side of the line. Packing for a summer is a little different than packing for a weekend at a time.

Well, you only live 60 minutes away. So pack light.
