HHN part 2 was amazing. I can't wait to go back later next month!

Here's my sonnet I did for english.

Two gardens, quite unlike it atmosphere,
In a fair park, where we lay our scene,
One garden full of cheer,
the other quite unclean.
On the first garden, stands a sunflower nice and tall,
standing yellow and bright,
the other gardens flower did fall,
it could never stay up right.
An Oak tree Standing Bold,
where another tree had been,
The tree was now very old,
But still beautiful and green.
The gate gaurding the garden well,
And the sun, making a sunny spell.

Hope you like it

I can't believe I'm saying this, but WHO DEY! I'm starting to actually have faith in the Cincinnati Bengals as they come back from a 11 point defecit to beat the Steelers 23-20.

The Redskins lost to the Lions.
























FAIL!

[CPF]

Wow, the Lions won!

But in a way, I'm kinda sad...

I had the best ride on Big Thunder Mountain ever last night. It was poring the whole ride. I think we got more wet than the people on Splash Mountain. So yeah, Thunder Mountain, at night, in the rain, oh and yeah, with fireworks going off over head equals EPIC WIN!

^How can pouring rain be good on a coaster? Big Bad Wolf's first section felt like staples in the face... let alone the second half.

[HuLK]

^ rain adds such a rush to the ride imo, I have always enjoyed coasters in the rain, got on beast and it started pouring and I loved it. Magnum and millennium were rid. in the rain but awesome as well, montu front row, any ride it rains on, I usually love.

^Try SheiKra in a good old Florida downpore. Its incredible!

[Brad]

Ouch. You all are insane.
I've ridden Big Bad Wolf and Loch Ness Monster in the rain and both were horrible.
Though being the fool I am I went back for more 15 times on the Loch Ness Monster


And here's a neat little concept I found on YouTube, a sit-down suspended coaster. Though it has flaws I'm sure with banking, a smoother track, and a longer train it would be amazing.

^That's actually a great concept, if you could put it into a larger scale, such as making wider and longer trains and having bigger drops, bigger turns, etc.

[UltraRobbie]

Yeah that would be amazing to ride

I have an electronics question that someone might be willing to answer. I'll give you a cookie if you do. (No one else can give an answer, so I thought I'd try my trusty coaster-net buddies)

Ok, so I made a HV capacitor out of a beer bottle, saltwater, etc the other day and I was wondering if anyone knew how many volts it could handle. I read that your capacitor should be rated for twice the voltage of your transformer. So if I have a, say, 6kV transformer, how many of these capacitors would I have to build to withstand 12kV? I could guess and test, but I don't want to risk arcing. (Oh, almost forgot. This is for a tesla coil...made entirely from junk around the house)

[HCL]

What I don't get is why you made a Tesla coil out of a bear bottle.

I would go onto an electronics site if you want a good answer.



I remember back in the good ole days...

[krosscoasters]

Well, I've submitted another staff application. This time I actually put my name, so maybe they'll at least read it.

[CPF]

^Congrats, I'm nearly positive that you'll get in

What are you applying for? Mod, writer. etc.

[Ryan Shrout]

I'm almost positive you'll get in. What did you apply for? We could use a few more consistent news writers.

[UltraRobbie]

Hmmm.

I like to write stuff. Well.. maybe I'll try and apply

[krosscoasters]

I applied for Feature Writer... should I have applied for News Writer too?

[Daniel Westfall]

Make sure to put all positions you are interested in on your application (and of course remember to put your name and correct contact information on the application).

[Brad]

Woohoo I'm just a few posts away from being able to get a custom title on TPR

[HuLK]

errr, congrats....

By the way, Cloudy with a Chance of meatballs is a very entertaining film (obviously an opinion) so if you have he chance, go check it out)

[krosscoasters]

^^Wait a minute, you only need 200 posts on TPR to get a custom title thing, yet on here you need 2,000?

[Brad]

^150, actually. I have no clue what it is on here.
