I really want to come down on the zoo for shooting that gorilla but what else could they do? that was one huge gorilla…
some zoos really treat animals poorly..others the animals seem to live like mac daddys while people schlep up mountains and walk miles just to catch a look at an animal sleeping…… I don't find zoos very exciting but my kids like going every once in a while…

Everybody, is so outraged because that gorilla was shot. How about people, have outrage at the fact that zoos exist to exploit animals for our entertainment.
I am not a zoo fan either. I am pretty sure I have not went GONE to one of those prisons since I was in the 11th grade on a school club trip to Denver.
I do no think I have grown weary of a story as fast as I did for the gorilla death story. Just stop; media, people on facebook, etc.

Yeah.
Went to Busch Gardens yesterday for the first time in like 16 years. Had a ton of fun. BG definitely has awesome roller coasters. Temptesto is 8000000% fun and probably one of the best coasters I've ever been on. Verbolten is a super fun take on the semi haunted house vibe/all dark roller coasters and even throws a something I've never experienced on a roller coaster EVER
. What a great park.

Spoilers below:
The train departs the station and gently dips to the left into a leisurely winding S-curve. Exiting the S-curve, the train enters the first Linear Synchronous Motor (LSM) launch, which accelerates it into the event building. Inside the event building, the train crests an airtime hill and then dives into a series of high speed turns, followed by a helix that guides the train onto a brake run, while holographic leaves appear with critter sounds in the background. The train then dives into a curve and up a medium-sized hill onto a second brake run, while more holographic branches appear with rusting sounds. The train finally comes to a stop on a section of track, with blackness for a while, followed by various thematic elements (This segment of the ride changes depending on which theme the coaster is on), then the entire train drops 18 feet vertically. Once dropped, the train rolls forward and down a small dip onto the second LSM launch, which quickly accelerates it out of the event building, and through a series of curves up a hill. At the crest of the hill, is another brake run themed as a decaying bridge. The train then drops 88 ft off of the bridge into a hard left hand turn that follows the same path as the Big Bad Wolf. The train then enters a high speed S-curve, almost identical to path of the Big Bad Wolf and over a bunny hop into a turnaround onto the final brake run.[10]

I'm guessing this is the exciting part:
The train finally comes to a stop on a section of track, with blackness for a while, followed by various thematic elements (This segment of the ride changes depending on which theme the coaster is on), then the entire train drops 18 feet vertically. Once dropped, the train rolls forward and down a small dip onto the second LSM launch, which quickly accelerates it out of the event building, and through a series of curves up a hill.

I'm sitting here playing my bass, noodling around with the G minor Pentatonic and I came up with a really cool line.
After about three minutes I realized I had just been playing "stumped" by minor threat
