Build Your Own Carnival Ride

Posted by michael on from the you-ride-it-first dept.

SoCalChris writes "Check out these guys who are building their own dark ride similar to the ones found at carnivals and theme parks. The ride is complete with PLC's in each of the cars, and one more PLC for the entire ride. The ride also features a blocking system like professionally built rides."

    The only logical explanation is that Taco likes having the power to kill the little pages he links to. He could at least e-mail them and say, "I'm going to turn your puny server into a slag heap; would you like me to mirror the page and save you some trouble?"

    How can we continue to believe in a just universe and freedom to eat crackers if we have no ale?
