Courageous Thunder Dash in This or That?

Floater or Ejector?

Perhaps one of the best feelings you can get from a roller coaster, besides the speed is what is called airtime. Airtime is the sensation you get from when your rear leaves the seat when the coaster goes over a hill. There are two types of airtime: floater and ejector What's the difference? Well, it all has to do with 3 conditions: The length of the hill The shape of the hill The speed of the coaster Floater airtime is mainly found on the older style woode

Roller Coaster of the Day #2: Montu @ Busch Gardens Tampa

Like Fury 325, Montu is a steel coaster built by the Swiss manufacturer Bolliger and Mabillard (B&M). Unlike Fury 325, Montu is what is known as an inverted roller coaster. An inverted roller coaster positions riders below the track, which their feet dangle from the coaster train. This gives a feeling of being carried by an eagle by its talons. It is a very fun experience. Stats Height: 151ft Top Speed: 60mph Inversions: 7 Max G force: 3.8 Ridden: Yes Revi

The Nature of Time

What is time? According to physics, it's just another dimension. There is a slight difference between spatial and time dimensions. Basically, the distance across two or more spatial dimensions is the square root of the sum of squares of the distances in the individual dimensions (as in Pythagorean theorem). But, due to time being a different kind of dimension, the distance across a spatial dimension and a time dimension is the square root of the difference of squares. Also there is only one time

Wood or Steel?

A lot of coaster enthusiasts have a huge list of coasters they have ridden. However, the #1 thing that could be a split in the fandom is this one thing: Wood or Steel Coasters? Now I know what some of you are thinking: "It doesn't matter! They both deliver thrills!" That's true. However, with the materials, each of them have capabilities. Wooden coasters give that rickety feeling, sometimes a rough ride. Steel coasters are very smooth and because steel can bend, they can in

MLP Season 8 Reflection

WEAK SEASON This is an interesting season for me. I started watching the show in June of 2017 so while I was somewhat following the show through the second half of season 7, season 8 was the first one that I really followed along with. And when I first watched it, I liked it. But I also liked Starlight and Sparity so clearly I've evolved since then (or devolved depending on your opinions on those things). But still, rewatching this season was kinda nostalgic and I think it's that nostalgia

Hurricane Nicholas

Tropical Storm Nicholas has just been upgraded to a Category 1 hurricane as of the 10pm advisory update from the National Hurricane Center. As I just looked on the forecast cone path, it's making a direct path to my home city of Houston right now. Wish me safe, bronies! There's going to be heavy rainfall that can lead to flooding in my area.

Free Will Makes No Sense

So, for some people (I think I'm using 'some people' too much in this blog) free will is a very important thing. They feel that if everything is deterministic, then it's already decided what they are going to do, so they can't decide it themselves. It's like something is forcing them to do things, and they don't have a will of their own. So determinism is a bad thing, and free will should exist to make the human existence meaningful. This is wrong. We are a part of the universe, and th

Do We Live in a Simulation?

Some people argue that advanced civilizations should be able to run simulations with beings like us in them, and, due to the fact that one civilization can make many simulations, and there can even be simulations within simulations and so on, it's most likely that we live in one of these simulated realities. My approach to this question is related to the subject of my last week's entry: consciousness. Can simulated beings be conscious? Well, for those who think consciousness requires only a
