Santa Clara's city council, in a first for the city, could keep the ride on the lumber pile, swayed by those noise complaints from a valued commercial landlord. Or, giving in to the recommendation of its planners, it could push forward on the sprawling, 111-foot-tall behemoth, billed as the park's biggest capital investment in years. And a third option? Build the coaster, but check back later to make sure it isn't louder than expected.

Maybe all the tight-a$$es in the office building are just jealous because they are stuck at work and they can't be riding those shiny new coasters they build? ;)
Well, maybe if CF offered them reduced -rate season passes, they could ride whenever they had a break. The compaies could bring their clients, and have a tax write-off in the process.

If I had an office with a view of a roller coaster, I'd never get anything done.
I can see three from my window. It's overrated. ;)
Hi
Considering I have two roller coaster calendars in my office and spend most of the time on the phone absently gazing at them, a real live coaster (let alone three!) would be problematic . . . ;)

Unfortunitly, most of the people out there aren't coaster junkies like us.

It's times like this that I realize I don't deserve to be posting on an enthusiast forum.
Maybe you're just doing a better job fighting the progression of the disease . . .

Keep in mind that we're talking about the lanlords here, not necessarily the office workers. It's their job to secure tenants. I'm not saying the complains aren't ridiculous, but they do have to do what it takes to keep the buildings occupied.
Reminds me of the time we were touring an apartment here in San Diego. Everything was going well until the place lit up and it sounded as if the jet was going to land on the roof. Flight path apartment? We'll pass.
