Yes, it is fun. It is obscene. Of course it is fast as hell. I went on Sunday, May 4th. I was in line for at least 6.5 hours. In my opinion, the ride is not worth this wait. After getting to the platform, it broke for at least a half hour, seems like they have some bugs to work out. I would ride it again...and I will. Thank goodness for my season pass.:>
Now getting in the ride is another painful procedure, especially for males. You see, they have a seatbelt with a handle...and a bar that goes over the lap...with a extension near the crotch that hurts...like a mofo. The ride "attendants" pull on the seatbelt handle until you can't feel anymore. Then they put the lap bar until you cry. Imagine, if you have to relieve yourself after standing in the line for 4+ hours.
Once the train is released onto the track...the christmas tree lights up & you hear the sound effects...with a voice if you have your hands up. Don't be that guy. Do not put your hands up...you just screw everyone else over. The brake pads go down...3 seconds later the train is shot. I blacked out...all I remember is crossing the top & going down the other side. Wow...what a ride.
Not worth a 6.5 hour wait. Hopefully it will be shorter later in the summer. The better part of the day happened afterwards...my party rode Raptor, Magnum, Wicked Twister all in an hour.
I also dropped $12 for the priceless picture. http://www.shackspace.com/~vital3d@shack mail.com/t eh%20funnay/topthrill.jpg
I haven't been able to find a english -> dutch or vice versa.
I have found dictionaries, but that doesn't help me much.
Ah hell, I'm learning the language anyways. --
The company I work for, recently moved to our new office. All of our providers (MCI, Ameritech) were stuck in the mud with our DS3, we couldn't even get a T1 in our building.
Then we went around our development asking if we could "borrow" some of their bandwidth. They graciously said yes and we purchased a couple of these from Aironet: http://www.aironet.com/products/building_building/ BR340.asp.& amp; lt;p> The distance is about 1/4 mile and we get exactly what the specs say: 11 Mbps.
Of course the only time we lose connection is if a truck drives by (their trailers).
I highly approve of Cisco Aironet and recommend it to anybody that can afford it.
Since when has the UN had anything to do with the Internet? Oh yeah, all of the peace they are trying to keep between the tribe chiefs in Uganda has everything to do with it. I foresee the people in the back country buying a domain name real soon for their news, for their hunting "skillz" because they are "leet" with their spears & keyboards. Back country == the bush.

Of course I am wrong. :)
First post.
I love the analogies the media and unknowing give stuff.
