That guy is really creepy looking.
Puts me to mind of a televangelist.

Whoops, just read your profile page, and hope you will accept my apologies!

I could have paid more attention to your screen name, sorry.

Lovely - conflicting reports. Each station trying to out-scoop the other. Where have we seen THIS before?

Anecdote: back when Missus and I were working for The Mouse, a young boy died on the Body Wars ride at EPCOT. Seems he had a pre-existing cardio problem, and the ride's effects triggered a fatal episode.

The Mouse's deep pockets silenced the family, and the ride was dialed back to prevent repeats.

I wonder if USF has the same wallet-depth? They're not Viacom, but hey...

I am capable of writing in capitals. However, my brain is tired. i have had a 3 hour organic chem lab and an exam. So why don't you get off your "more intelligent than thou" non existant high horse and pipe down.

I just rode that stupid ride and I was upset that it had such a violent drop. If I hadnt had good upper body strength to hold myself in, I would have fallen out. They have no business putting ANYBODY on that ride, ESPECIALLY kids.

A tourist was just killed on the new "The Mummy" ride at Universal Studios,Orlando......

Prayers for the family.

(Whatever happened to "quality craftmanship"? Doesn't anyone bother to "check out 'new equpiment' anymore"? Just asking....)

(Dang! The "ride" must've belonged to a "conservative".)

Sounds like a horrible ride. I'm so sorry someone got killed! So sad.
