MoFos on Roller Coasters!

Just out of curiosity, do you find that certain chefs refuse to cook meals to order? That it's *their way* or the highway? It's why I don't go out to restaurants, anymore. Some chefs get insulted when you want something prepared other than how they cook it. For me, it's a matter of what ingredients my very sensitive stomach can handle. Send something down that it doesn't like, and it will come back..... the "hard way..."

I'd just rather cook for myself, or eat commercially packaged things that are just plain bland.

There were a fair few in my former state as well (Six Flags - Great Adventure). Here in my new State of FL, we also have Busch Gardens, Tampa. I've been on a couple of those as well (Montu, etc.). But it has been a while since I rode one.

Be careful with those "re-marketed" rides. Sometimes, all they do is change a couple of loops or turning points and then re-market the ride as "brand new." At Great Adventure, there was a ride called "The Turn of the Century..." a metal coaster. All they did was add a long straight away in a tunnel and a couple of loops and the ride was "born again" as "The Demon" (with the appropriate marketing hype, of course)...

I watched a youtube video made by someone riding The Joker. It's definitely very different from Roar.

Though if these damn wildfires don't get under control it may not matter anyway.

I've never had a chef refuse to cook a meal the way I requested it, but there was one restaurant that wouldn't do it because it was the policy of the restaurant, not the chef. The manager at The Cheesecake Factory told me that their meals cannot be changed in any way because they have a specific "look and taste" that must be the same at every Cheesecake Factory restaurant across the country. He even refused to change the order based on allergies. (After a lengthy argument, he eventually agreed to make the changes that night, but he also said that he was making a one-time exception, and that they would never do it again.)

I called their corporate office the next day. I was told that the manager was correct, and that was their policy. That was many years ago, and I have never gone back to that restaurant again.

I wonder if they'd change their policies when the first person sues them for injuries sustained as a result of dishonoring the request to change the menu. Surely, they'll claim "you didn't have to purchase/eat it..." but....

The Big One at Blackpool Pleasure Beach is my fave roller coaster, been on it many times. I like to sit near the front if i can, i like to see the drop come into view.
