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."

    I'm pretty sure you use an apostrophe when you're talking about a plurality of words or letters. For example, there are a lot of P's, Q's, and the's lying around in my house, drinking my beer. And, they keep calling me Mr. Well, they can all take their Mr.'s, and shove them where the sun don't shine.

    But, I don't know if you use an apostrophe with acronyms, like PLC. I mean, it has P's, L's, and C's in it, but if you shove them all together, I think it just might make some PLCs.

    By the time they finish, they just may outgrow the crave for fast thrills.

    I know that I don't enjoy fast amusement park rides like I used to when younger. I suppose battling with lane-merging 18-wheelers on LA freeways wore out the thrill.
