Well, this morning i was perusing the msnbc website and i found this little gem: <a href="http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/13793802/from/RSS/" target="_blank">http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/13 793802/from/RSS/</a> if you dont feel like reading, its about a rollercoaster in ohio's Paramount Kings Island that injured 27 people (in all fairness, i should mention that no one was seriously injured). Anyways, my point is that you know if this happened at disneyland it would have been all over the news with a headline, "DISNEYLAND RIDE INJURES 27". not only did I have to semi-hunt for this article, I had to read half way through to find out what park they were talking about. I've never been to Ohio, but Paramount has Great America in Cali... thats a pretty big park (i assume they are similar). I just found that interesting, thought it was safe to rant to my LP buddies!
