Roco Posted July 1, 2006 CID Share Posted July 1, 2006 So it took 230 years to decide that Roco? Taxes had to be raised over the lost Tea revenue then? Name the time and place. We like to take our time over such matters, with a nice cup of tea, even with the thought of the lost revenue it is part of our heritage , you can steal a Englishmans wife , but don't mess with his tea break time and place, let me just check the height thread , oh hell you guys certainly grow tall, is it because of this rc cola and peanuts thing, ?

cholla Posted July 3, 2006 CID Share Posted July 3, 2006 waterRTBH :Lucky you going to Cedar Point.One of the best coaster parks in the world.I haven't been there yet but hope to before I get too old to ride the coasters.The best coaster I've been on is the Desparado in Jean , Nevada.An awsome coaster one of the early ones with a long drop.

coknuck Posted July 3, 2006 CID Share Posted July 3, 2006 The first Roller Coaster I ever rode was the Cyclone Racer in Long Beach, CA. Memorial Day 1930 The Cyclone Racer roller coaster opens to the public, replacing the Jackrabbit Racer. The Cyclone Racer closed in 1968. At one time, it was the largest and fastest coaster in the U.S. It was called the racer because there were two trains on two separate tracks that raced one another from start to finish. On the last dip, the cars dropped ninety feet down a fifty-degree angle at eighty miles an hour. Over the years the rickety roller coaster claimed the lives of more than a few drunken sailors who ignored the Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cholla Posted July 3, 2006 CID Share Posted July 3, 2006 coknuck;I think Coney Island was supposed to have had one of the racer type coaster.I'v never been on one of those either.My first roller coaster was right here in Amarillo.I don't even know if it had a name.We have a small amusment park here called Wonderland.At that time this was a kid level coaster.Now they have one called the Texas Tornado.It has a really tight loop that forces your head down.IMO not a good coaster.One of the interesting ones I rode was the one on top of the Stratosphere in Las Vegas , Nevada a mild coaster but high above the ground 800 something feet I think.

coknuck Posted July 3, 2006 CID Share Posted July 3, 2006 Cholla it was about the same Coaster as Coney Island. Coney Island was built in 1927. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
resopalrabotnick Posted July 3, 2006 CID Share Posted July 3, 2006 kids, happy holiday and remember not to drink and drive. after imbibing some alcohol you will want to have both hands firmly on the bottle to prevent any spillage of precious alcohol, so you shouldn't be trying to grab any wheels or handlebars. (hooters are ok if she helps you to hold on to your liquor...) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rammolo Posted July 3, 2006 CID Share Posted July 3, 2006 July 4 is the most important holiday in the history of US. take a deep breath a good shot of your favorite alcohol combination (i love B-52) look at the sky and enjoy the fireworks......awsome beauty in the sky product of science & Fire....forget the firemen these guys really know what they do. Be proud of being a US citizen. Celebrate..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roco Posted July 3, 2006 CID Share Posted July 3, 2006 So you Brit's don't have any celebration's about the country,the people, and it's history? Just the Queen? Pass the Jack. I'd celebrate with you. Hi Tommie thanks but remember I will have 7 hours start on you ,so there may not be much left , only 2 hours to go for me. no we do not have any celebrations for the country or its people , we have the Queens birthday , but nothing happens and we have Guy Fawkes night (5Nov.) with fireworks , this is to celebrate the attempt to blow up the house of Parliament, (I think most UK peasants wish it had succeeded ) we Brits have a perverse sense of humour ,even our patron Saint (.George ) was Greek, So I hope you guys don't mind me tagging on to your 4th July celebrations, as any ecuse for a p*ss up, now let me think when was the French Bastille day , have a good day ,regards Roco UK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

resopalrabotnick Posted July 3, 2006 CID Share Posted July 3, 2006 i believe you are thinking of july 14th. incidentally july is a good time to visit france if you enjoy fireworks. they start selling them for the 14th early, i spent two weeks plinking away and testing for the 14th when i put on a nice show at a relatives house. incidentally the swiss have their firework-themed shindig for the year on the first of august. my relatives there living near the border to switzerland meant that visiting geneva for that one was also but a hop skip and a jump away. (and the swiss allow fairlyu large rockets at the consumer level, which aided my july 14th display...) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roco Posted July 3, 2006 CID Share Posted July 3, 2006 Thanks Reso..... for the info, this could be a hangover for a month :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
resopalrabotnick Posted July 3, 2006 CID Share Posted July 3, 2006 the one sure way to avoid a hangover is: drumroll please... pause for dramatic effect... i'm sure i can make this post longer than one of waterrtbh's... stay drunk. and if you can remember the question you have obviously not been following this advice. cheers!
