Custom Intamin seat belt belt (+ how to)

@Tyler Boes, I have only been to SFNE, SFGadv, and BGW (Best park). Griffon, Kingda Ka, and ElToro are my favorite coasters. my record for rides on Griffon in one day is 29 missing the last train of the day by less than a minute, really wanted to make it to 30. "Prepare to enjoy the power and speed of the mythical, Griffon.", "Exiting guests, please lift up on your safety harnesses and exit quickly, and carefully to the right and enjoy the rest of your day here at Busch Gardens."

I actually voted up a simple "wow."

I have never done that before, but this time I had to.

Ditto.

I'm so gonna have to favorite this so I can try and make a coaster belt. My pants are too big and it would be super unique.

Brief intro about me: I am a new member, I like roller coasters and ponies

Yes, but do you like pancakes? That's the important question.

Seriously...what the #*@$ has happened to coasterbuzz?

I almost threw up after eating the chocolate pancakes at IHop. I knew it was going to be chocolate-y, but not THAT chocolate-y. I like their pancakes with all the bananas and strawberries on top though. That tastes pretty good.

A real coaster enthusiast puts gravy on his pancakes.

@Vater, Combo intro thread turned into an AMA intro. Threads get derailed all the time everywhere, (Not saying its a good thing), still an intro, why not have fun and ask whatever?

Ok, then.

Can you go away?

^^(Up two posts to what sws said) So I've been a figment of my imagination all this time? Strange, because I never knew you could dream about passing out after smelling your armpits.

Its only been a few hours and I'm already being told to go away? Tough crowd.

It's been around an hour and still, nobody has called me a noob yet. Wow!

^^Tom, don't take it personally. You're in the hazing initiation phase.

I don't think anyone here can abuse me enough to hate you.

Then who can? On a side not, let's see if I make it all the way to 3 pages.

Actually, if you want my honest opinion, the vetting/hazing (or as I like to think of it - training/teaching) process around here has gotten really weak lately. If it were up to me, this thread wouldn't exist for the sole reason that no one seriously participating would have survived around here long enough to actually be participating in this manner.

With the possible exception of the inside jokes, this thread represents everything that's wrong with the current tone of the conversation around here. By all means, take it personally...please. The vote ups, the completely random posts, the lack of anything meaningful - it's stupid circular conversation that offers nothing to anyone. It's birds in a pet store squaking at each other.

And I'd say the belt thing might offer some value except that not a single person has commented on it, so the interest level must be pretty low...and gee, I can't imagine why.

That's all. (smile)

And then there's always softies like me around :) Like any forum, if you don't like it, there are plenty of others. I appreciate new personalities (albeit virtual) going on about something they like that is remotely connected to coasters.

Let's just say that if we were talking about a retractable seat-belt belt, then THAT would be something I could endorse around the gravy buffet.

Gonch and GCG, I'm with you both, if that makes sense. We HAVE gotten very circular and thread jack-y in the recent weeks. I AM a sucker and try to welcome everyone and be open-minded about their new entry into our "world" though.

I think we're all going a little stir crazy waiting to actually RIDE some rides and discuss new things, so that's why we're all a little goofy. Or maybe it is just me going a little nuts. I KNOW I am guilty of going along with the thread jacks.

But I like the coaster belt idea, if that's what this about.

And welcome, Tom. :)

You'd have to sell them in the parking lot like bootleg concert t-shirts.
