Just don't name a ride "Windows 95: The Ride," because it will probably crash. ;)

As long as they don't try to run the rides with a Windows OS. Then Markey might have a legit reason to target roller coaster safety.
Bill must love it that Six Flags best ride is named after Apple's superior OS ! :) haha !

All rides will have a reset button and a ctrl+alt+del funtion, who know, for when the ride dosen't respond.
You must have a .net account to enter the park, you'll be asked to enter your username and password to get in.

Did someone say coasters?
"yea, heard they are gonna upgrade X to XP, it'll run smoother, and faster, that is if the hardware and software is compatible, ."
Yeah, but August 24th, they update X to 10.2, making it run even more smooth, faster yet & you don't have to worry about hardware or software compatibility, because it is engineered to work properly in the first place.
Just so we don't confuse anyone to thinking X the coaster reopens Aug 24th, I am referring to Apple's release of OS 10.2, which will instantly be hailed as the best operating system ever released, period. Kinda like X the coaster being one of the most insane, and creative coasters ever created. :)
