Glossary

It will be interesting to see what it becomes irregardless. This is pretty exciting to see this happen.

------------------
My website - Zero G Thrills

Will there be a suggestion to add an item to the glossary? Just a suggestion, hope it helps. :)

If at first don't succeed, find out if the loser gets anything.

I didn't really know where else to ask this question so:

What the heck is a sidewinder? I've heard so many things refered to as a "sidewinder." The second inversion on Anaconda, two corks in a row, etc. etc. etc.

My shirt in my photo seems to be for "Aging Bull"

I think it's half of an Arrow Boomerang.

If you are familiar with the Flight of Fear type rides the 3rd inversion is a sidewinder its basically half a loop. It actually resembles an Immelman in reverse.

So you believe that you are studying us, then kindly explain why you are the ones trapped in your seats.

Here are soem examples of a sidewinder that I found under "The table of Elements" at coasterglobe.

Vekoma Boomerang (Sidewinder)

Arrow Sidewinder

Premier Sidewinder

Intamin Sidewinder(Inverted)

Seems more like an Immelman in forwards (Start low, finish high), but with a sharper turn at the top.

...and then there is the Eyerly Sidewinder, which is an updated version of the Roll-O-Plane...

It's coming along OK...slowed a little this week due to me working more hours of employment (yay!).

Hi guys...

It's almost done. I'm been suffering from a lack of time lately, but it will be finished, hopefully within the next week or so depending on time.

Jim

Thanks, Take your time.

Hiya!

Unfortunately (or fortunately) my business is growing, and I will not be able to complete this project in a timely and quality manner.

If anyone has a bit of spare time, has Microsoft Excel, can type English well ;), and would like to finish the project, please let me or Jeff know.

------------------
I regret to inform you that Top Thrill Signature is not currently in operation due to mechanical problems.

The factory is shut down for re-tooling the next two weeks so I may have quite a bit of free time. I would be willing to work on the project.

Just give me a holler.

The easiest way to do this is to post the glossary on coasterbuzz in unfinished form, so others can see what's there and what's missing and post comments/send email with missing entries and descriptions, instead of one person having to spend so much time thinking of what needs to be added, think of descriptions or do research. The person in charge will then just have to type it in.
I could probably do it also.
