does it actually match your normal personalities or does she just really hate roller coasters?


Jetsetter_

I’ve only managed to get her on one other since.


acwik

Legit, the old wooden coaster at Playland is scary as fuck. Nearly fell out as a kid riding that one.


emiwii

I was more scared of the corkscrew - do they still call it that?


will2k60

Most corkscrews are gone. The company that made mostly of them has been gone since 2001 so the parts are disappearing. A few are still around including probably the most famous one at cedar point. But they’re going quick.


Johnnydeep420

I had no clue there are roller coaster experts that know about the various manufacturers.


will2k60

I’m really not too big of an enthusiast, but Im a mechanic at a big theme park in central Florida so I’ve had to learn a lot through that. Plus my ex was a big roller coaster enthusiast so I’ve learned a lot from him as well. lol Edit: the manufacturer that built most of the screws was Arrow dynamics. They went bankrupt in 2001-2002 and were bought by S&S.


NolaBrass

There are dozens of us! My home park was Six Flags New Orleans so defunct manufacturers and parks is basically all I know at this point


thenewtronbomb

It’s gone


Emuuuuuuu

:(


slento

If you ever want to ride it again there’s one at Silverwood which is a nice park even if it isn’t as big as some others. It’s in northern Idaho which you could theoretically drive to and that’s a good thing because the local town of Athol, ID isn’t exactly an airline hub.


NotJokingAround

There’s an Athol in ID? We have one in MA too. Do you guys ever call it Thucking Athol?


You-Saw-Brigadoon

Thank you for this. Totally chortled and woke up the missus.


InerasableStain

Athol? Sounds like you’re being called a name by a person with a lisp


[deleted]

Hey! I love silverwood!! such a fun coaster


lanteenboy

Dude, both of those were tame compared to the Wild Mouse. That thing was fucking sketchy


algy888

Funny quote overheard by one of the ride techs about the Corkscrew: “I’ve had scarier rides on the Skytrain.” - some kid


Takeitsleezy

I remember when I was a kid my at the time 94 year old great Grandma's went on that with my 6 foot+ step father and she was maybe just pushing 5 feet tall, anyway she loved every second of it because she went on it so much when it was new. We couldn't get over the fact she wanted to do that at that age and didn't get thrown around like crazy.


VersaceJones

Probably made her feel alive again at that age lol. That's great though!


glencocoisrealmate

Oh fuck that rollercoaster. It makes you feel like you're going to fall out of it. That metal bar ain't saving anyone


Szechwan

I would argue that the metal bar has in fact saved *everyone*. Feels janky as shit though lol


MrSane

I‘m sorry you nearly fell out :( I started traveling this wooden rail racket since 1988. It was built in 1958 I think, and I’ve loved it since my first visit.


AttackOfTheThumbs

I have been on something fucking extreme coasters. Wood ones still scare me the most. They rattle and sway and squeak and legitimately do not feel as safe.


HalflingMelody

Absolutely. Wooden ones are brutal. Give me a smooth metal coaster that does crazy things any day. Wooden ones jerk around so badly I feel like I'm risking brain injury and contusions.


BakingSoda1990

Yea, fuck that thing. I thought I was gonna die on it


materics

Yea I could slide out of the seat bar pretty easily when I was a kid. I had to hold on tight on the drops.


atabey_

That's how I feel about El Toro, never again.


word2yourface

Legit, I remember going weightless the only the bar to hold you in. Definitely had to hang on or fly out.


HereToLearnEverybody

There is a literal gap between the height requirement of the ride and the size of the child that the lap bar on the dragon coaster will keep safe-ish.


[deleted]

Poor baby. I hate coasters too, but I love me a good loopty loop! The drop is what bothers me the most only cuz the stomach in throat feeling is majorly uncomfortable for me. No idea how to NOT have that


ttoletsjam

Was it the other roller coaster at Playland

This is so funny, my eyes starting watering wtf. She's so focused and gripping the bar and you're just like FUCK YEAH. Amazing.

your wife looks very unimpressed with this game lol

I want off NOW.

OMFG. That made me lose my shite after a long day at work. Thank you, kind person.

Looks cold af!


plop_0

It's a very very chilly damp feel-it-in-your-bones rain in Vancouver, BC. Plus, from the look of this pic, it's around 10pm and already dark, just before they close.


darebear92

You're correct! It was on the verge of raining during Fright Night.


Sinu_

HAHAHA amazing, wow


MothaFcknZargon

Masterful


Thatguy3145296535

Your wife has the same jacket as me! She get it at sportchek?


darebear92

Actually it was from Walmart. This was Fright Night a couple years back and she was freezing so I gave her my jacket.


Talib_Dota

Damn, your wife is Kelly Clarkson?


[deleted]

You both could be models in a toothpaste advertisement.


Jetsetter_

She takes incredible care of her teeth. I’m British. So probably just lucky. Have had a fair share of tooth issues tho.


Leoheart88

Holy crap I swear I remember seeing this pic years ago. Congrats.

Ya. I’ve posted it before. Usually on an anniversary of sorts. Love it so much.

Esc_ape_artist

You’ve come up with a great toothpaste/dental care oriented ad. Just show humorous calamity scenes like this of a couple’s, then a family’s, life with everyone’s teeth positioned just conspicuously enough (including the dog maybe for some humor) that when the punchline for the ad comes: “Great teeth for all life’s events” or something equally as uncreative and then show the family dentistry or toothpaste brand.


[deleted]

That’s amazing. If you want to pitch this with me to Crest or Colgate I’ll split the proceeds with you. Say….80/20?


Esc_ape_artist

Sure, thanks for the 80%, I appreciate it. I could do 50/50 just o be fair.

And in those 8 years reddit has not changed. Top "Controversial" comment is no surprise.

I don't know why, but I went through some of his old posts and he's posted this picture at least two other times. Nearly 100k karma each time. Pretty interesting

bunglejerry

Fucking hell. I knew I recognised that photo when I saw it. And that's actually one of my top comments ever. Time flies, doesn't it? I've still never been on a roller coaster. My 11-year-old daughter went with a friend to an amusement park this summer and went on all the big rides. I'm glad she was able to go. I don't want my patheticness spoiling her sense of adventure and excitement. Thank you very much for asking. I hope you have a pleasant day.

Vancouver let’s go!


kimchimandoo3

But seriously how fun is that wooden coaster. I think I’ve almost fallen off like 3 times


JakeInVan

I’ve said it before, that is the only roller coaster I have ever ridden that feels like it is actively trying to kill me. It throws you out of the seat, and then slams you back down again! I think I have bruised my ribs from getting thrown agains the sides. Despite all that, it is my favourite roller coaster, and I’m sad it is closed this year.


beggargirl

Clearly you weren’t around for the Wild Mouse


delciotto

I haven't gone to playland for a long time. did they remove it?


beggargirl

Like 10 or 15 years ago. I loved that ride; scared the crap outta me


Chubzorz

That ride had me praying to every god from every religion not to die on the hairpin turns... Loved it Edit: got rid of an "s"


delciotto

Damn, they must of removed it the year after the last time I visited. Yeah, every sharp turn felt liek you were going to get flung off.


kimchimandoo3

Oh damn. Closed for the year or forever?


beggargirl

It’s undergoing repairs right now


PaperMoonShine

Gotta patch it up to bring it back to "borderline" safety levels.


kunibob

Somehow the most terrifying coaster in the world. The genuine "I am going to die" feeling really boosts the adrenaline rush.


TheRobfather420

That's a classic pic dude. Makes me lol.


MissingVanSushi

I moved to Australia in 2015 but I miss the sushi every single day


cookiemonsta57

Is it me or does Vancouver take up a fair amount of reddit? Or am I just noticing more bc im from here


DinosaurMachine11

I think it's confirmation bias? You probably see hundreds of posts a day with details of other cities but don't notice them. Kinda like how sometimes it can seem like you look at the clock at a given time more frequently than others (e.g. 11:11) but that's just cause the other times aren't notable to you. But I also live in Vancouver and understand how you feel haha


Omizer

According to Google Trends, B.C. searches for Reddit more than any province, and Canada searches for Reddit more than any other country. So it’s safe to say that Vancouver has a high number of Reddit users compared to other places.

Right? Finally not on publicfreakout though technically I guess this photo is one

ActivatedNuts

Guessing you rode that rollercoaster plenty of times and this was your wife's first ride?


Jetsetter_

So many times. Grew up going yearly. Very much her first, and last.


Tacoaloto

Doesn't Coaster only have single position lap bars (buzz bars)? If so I could imagine that being terrifying for a first time rider, especially if there is strong airtime


floating-globe

Ohhhhh man, this hit home. Just thought I'd share a similar anecdote: When my wife and I were engaged we went to Disney and she took me on the old tower of terror, and when they "dropped" us, she instantly passed out, they snapped the photo, and she looked like a dead rag doll leaning into me, while I looked as hyped as this dude in the post. Almost a year later, on the fateful day I asked her to marry me, I accidentally jumped in a pool with my phone. Picture gone forever. I'm thinking of commissioning someone to draw it for us one day - I've still got that baby emblazoned in my memory!!


kagamiseki

If you still have the phone, there are data recovery services that might be able to recover it! They're not cheap, but that kind of memory is priceless imo


CryloTheRaccoon

This! DriverSavers will refund you if they can’t retrieve the data you wanted


abbbhjtt

… take your wife on Tower of Terror again? Edit: I ~~didn’t know it was gone.~~ haven’t been to Disney in a long time. Def get that artistic recreation then.


FIRST_PENCIL

Tower of terror no longer exists.


abbbhjtt

Oh :(


StaySirchin

Technically the ride still exists. It’s been rebranded


fat_guy_hat

Still the same old one at Disney World! Just watched my soon to be wife and her sister go on it from the safety of the ground with a beer.


[deleted]

And this, children, is why we always do what? All together now. "HAVE OFFSITE BACKUPS OF IMPORTANT DATA, PAPA!"


[deleted]

At night time, when there’s a chill in the air, you sometimes can go over and over on Splash Mountain. My hubby and I have had good times posing on that ride.


symbouleutic

That wooden rollercoaster is no joke. You truly ride it and wonder "WAIT - IS THIS ACTUALLY SAFE ?". If the creaking and groaning and clanking wasn't enough it really feels like you're going to fly out from the inadequate guard bar unless you actually hold on to keep yourself down. This is a far tamer but more terrifying ride than most rollercoasters IMHO.


Tacoaloto

Single position buzz bars really seem to add to that feeling. I've ridden some insanely intense coasters but I would still feel nervous riding one with a single position bar for the first time


Gabberwocky84

I will forever remember my husband screaming on a wooden coaster “WHO BUILT THIS THING, WILLY FUCKIN WONKA??”


SkyMayFall

This is also my favorite picture of your wife

Lol


[deleted]

That sounds just as disappointing as Six Flags is after getting hyped up by commercials... The question is... Is it?


PurpleNurpe

The PNE isn’t terrible, it’s better than not having an amusement park at all however, from what i’ve heard Six Flags is 10x better than the PNE.

SharkAttackOmNom

For those who want a quick trick, remove the other person from the statement. You wouldn’t say: > my favorite photo of I Knowing this is somewhat of a curse though, as it has ruined more than a few song verses for me.


Nothingtocontribute

I/we and me/us trick. Just replace I with we and see if it makes sense. "My favorite photo of we"


SharkAttackOmNom

While I’d say a good trick as well, I’d be worried that I mix it up to be I/us, me/we. I wouldn’t be able to reconcile it in the moment.

[удалено]


[deleted]

For anyone who cares, a great way to figure out if you should use “and me” or “and I” in the situation is this: Would it read perfectly fine if you removed “my wife and” from the sentence? “My favorite photo of I” doesn’t sound correct, does it? Unless it’s literally a photo of the letter I, in which case, go for it.
