Does anyone on this site happen to know what the weight of a full size B&M sit-down train is? I need to know for a coasterdynamix project.

^My understanding is that the reactors are "shut down". The problem is, even with no fission taking place, the reactors still are at about 7% of their full power, thanks to decay heat created by the short-lived fission byproducts. Without a functioning cooling system, this is still enough to cause s...

Hmmm, what you did was a tough call. I don't see a huge problem with this, as long as he's not in a position where hearing is critical and there are other teams members around to compensate for his disability.

At least you don't live in Pittsburgh. Every year around the beginning of July, THOUSANDS of furries from across the globe pour into our city for the largest, unholiest furry convention in the world, Anthrocon.

You heard wrong.

I searched "seizure-inducing websites", just for giggles. Looks like I found one.

Words cannot describe how awful this garish, seizure-inducing, steaming pile of HTML is. Whoever designed this should be shot for crimes against humanity.

Originally posted by kooliokid Only sad part is the removal of tunpike, although it says they will rebuild it, dont think it will be quite the same, why cant they build the coaster in the new place instead of moving turnpike?

^Cable snaps aren't random accidents. They're easily prevented by routine cable inspections.

Originally posted by neopuma I don't think they're LIMs . . . They're probably magnetic stationary brakes . . .
