Does it count if i used to work in IT?

I still work in IT but I used to too.

In my youth I worked at a 24 hour gas station/restaurant for 2 weeks. It was robbed twice (not while i was there) and someone hit and ran and smashed up my car all in 2 weeks. But i did get unlimited coffee, pop and donuts (after 6pm) so overall I'd give it a 3/5.

If you say it loud enough you'll almost sound precocious.

EXTREME WARNING if you have something important to do today. The above link is to TV Tropes. It's too late for me, but you still have a chance to be productive today!

Hello, I would like to complain that filling out a form to complain is exactly the kind of thing that Gene Roddenberry would be against so I refuse to do it. /s

Great video. Thanks for the recommendation. Montel announcing the Son of Beast at that event was hilarious.

I remember having this book as a kid too. I was obsessed. Lol.

That's super interesting. I remember hearing rumors about the low quality wood but i didn't know it was true.

As for the Beast yeah it definitely feels slower but its probably just because I was so used to the way it was before. I even noticed the roaring sound in the tunnel being quieter which i guess could be from better wheels or a smoother track rather than lack of speed.

If i had to guess it was maybe 2006. I think i rode it once with the loop and once without and didn't like it either time. But that was just me. Its been a long time but i remember it feeling like the train poked me right under the shoulder blade.

I may have liked it if i rode it more than twice but i hurt myself the first ride and never really wanted to go again.

Also i cant believe that it isn't any slower especially the final part with the 2 tunnels back to back. It feels so much slower.

My favorite roller coaster of all time was The Beast at Kings Island in Ohio. I've easily ridden it in the 3 digits.

Around 2013 or so they added additional braking to 2 parts of the ride where you used to blast through a huge helix and get pinned into your seat. One of the parts was at the end and it ruined my favorite part of the ride.

Still love The Beast but it will always be a lesser version of what I rode as a kid.

I also remember hurting my back on the Son of Beast. That was back when it had the loop. In my opinion the loop was the only good part of that ride.

I also got to ride the Diamondback on opening day. I still have my first rider tshirt i got that day.
