    “Connie: At first I thought Buzz was wearing a wig.” Kids Interview Bands is an ongoing web series where two Columbus, Ohio-based sixth grade girls, Olivia and Connie, interview bands. Olivia’s dad Chip has “been interviewing bands since 1991” and had the idea that the girls might make great interviewers. He says, “There are plenty of video interviews being done by men and women my age, but I can’t think of too many bands being interviewed – on camera – by girls in elementary school.” In their most recent video interview, they talk with Dale…

    “The Last Ice Merchant” is a short documentary that tells the remarkable tale of Baltazar Ushca, a 67-year-old man who has been harvesting glacial ice by hand from Mount Chimborazo in Ecuador for the past 52 years. Once part of a thriving natural ice industry, Uscha is now the last practitioner of his trade. The 2012 documentary was directed by Sandy Patch. Twice a week for over half a century, Baltazar Ushca has hiked up the slopes of Mount Chimborazo, the tallest mountain in Ecuador, to harvest glacial ice that covers the highest altitudes of this dormant volcano.

What sets this smartphone app (available on iPhone, Android, and iPad) apart from all the other online dating apps out there is that it uses video profiles.

    The second season of the television program, Insane Coasters Wars, recently premiered, and I've been enjoying the improved format. In its first year of episodes, the show grouped four coasters together, seemingly at random, and asked viewers to vote online for their favorite. Somehow Aftershock, a perfectly fine -- if unremarkable -- inverted boomerang ride at Silverwood in Idaho that is essentially a clone of similar coasters at other parks, won the "Hang 'em High" category over far more deserving (IMO) contenders such as Manta at SeaWorld Orlando. This season, the groupings appear to be…

The park is playing a bit fast and loose with its marketing, however, by billing it as "the tallest freestanding drop tower in North America." That's true in fact, but not in spirit.

Eventually, Lorenz employed a tried-and-true method for testing his nascent idea: the kitchen-table experiment. “I took a small rock, and put it in a piece of Tupperware, and filled it with water so there was an inch of water with a bit of the rock sticking out,” he says. “I put it in the…

    There’s a proposal to build a record-setting, 650-foot tall roller coaster. Dubbed PolerCoaster, the ride would be integrated into an observation tower on top of the Tropicana Las Vegas Hotel on the south end of the Strip. If built, the ride would be the World’s tallest roller coaster by quite a margin. The current record-holder is Kingda Ka at Six Flags Great Adventure, which is 456 feet tall. Plans for the ride were revealed when the developers submitted Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) approval to ensure that the tower does not affect flights to and from nearby McCarran…

    8 Jun 2013 | 12:30 am
    Guest Review by Dillon of ThemeParkRides.org Six Flags Over Georgia recently opened their newest addition, Sky Screamer. Being built to a height of 242 feet, Sky Screamer is a Star Flyer thrill ride made by Funtime. A few weeks ago, I was given the opportunity to ride Sky Screamer at the media day event. The day consisted of park president, Dale Kaetzel, giving opening words on the ride, several rides on Sky Screamer, and 32 park employees dressed as pigs ride Sky Screamer going after the saying “when pigs fly.” Last year, Six Flags announced that they would be replacing the…

  • Cool Concept for Vertical Theme Parks

    Joel
    6 Jun 2013 | 8:44 pm
    I’ve been championing more urban roller coasters and amusement parks, but this concept takes the idea quite a bit further. One of the most interesting segments of The Travel Channel’s show Future Scream Machines was Ju-Hyun Kim ‘s concept of the vertical theme park. Currently, more than half of the World’s population lives in urban areas and that number’s projected to reach 70% by 2050. When you consider where people live and the interest in reducing our carbon footprint (walking instead of driving), Ju-Hyun Kim argues that vertical theme parks should be the way…

  • Hades 360 Looks Awesome! | Early Reviews

    Joel
    4 Jun 2013 | 4:16 am
    The Gravity Group has posted a new video of Hades 360 in action. The original Hades opened at Mt. Olympus in 2005 with the World’s longest underground tunnel. It was Gravity Group’s first roller coaster and a world-class ride that was in many top 10 lists; including mine. For 2013, the ride was re-tracked (70% to 90%), given Gravity Group’s own Timberliner trains and most notably a one-of-a-kind corkscrew loop. Hades has been receiving some heat from some in the enthusiast community. Some of it appears to be because of the park’s not-so-great track record with…

  • Play Geoguessr: Explore the World Online

    25 May 2013 | 7:46 am
    Annunciation Cathedral in Kharkiv, Ukraine GeoGuessr is a geography game that takes you on a journey around the world and challenges your ability to recognize your surroundings.

It's a fun, addictive way to waste a few minutes hours over the holiday weekend. Sort of like "Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego?" circa 1985, but without the almanac. > Play now at http://geoguessr.com.

  • Amazon Launches Marketplace In India

    Harry
    7 Jun 2013 | 2:24 am
    After months of speculations, intense fear in the Indian e-commerce space and possible conspiracy theories – Amazon has finally launched its marketplace in India. Amazon cannot directly sell as of now but it’s a start. And I’d say a good one. It’s obvious the company has spent a lot of time before jumping towards the launch, especially from all the work that went into Junglee. Junglee probably connected Amazon to a ridiculous number of sellers – both online and offline. No wonder you can find multiple sellers for almost every product listed on Amazon. While…

  • An Xbox One For The Third World

    23 May 2013 | 12:10 am
    I’m not much of a gamer. There, I said it. Last year I bought an Xbox 360 for my little brother for his sheer hard work (and my pending promises). I used to play around with it every time I came back home for a vacation but couldn’t get myself used to the controls. I used to feel like an old man, trying to get used to that wireless game controller. First person shooters became a messy affair. All I could do was a little bit of car racing, but even that seemed like hard enough for me. Anyways I moved back home sometime last year and started getting serious with the Xbox 360. Turns…

  • Buying On Flipkart? Wait A Second…

    5 Apr 2013 | 12:05 pm
    The days are finally here. Flipkart has finally started showing multiple vendors for products on its site. This brings Flipkart from being a simple online retailer to a huge marketplace with a massive customer base. The company has been ironing out a few legal kinks recently, as I’ve been told, and this is also a part of the company’s “expansion” strategy. For the consumer it means that you’ll be able to choose from multiple vendors for a single product. Now this is where it gets tricky. Each vendor can offer their own price for any particular product.

The fox walked toward them, and one of the guys bent straight down to help. He nabbed the jar, removed the jar of the animal's neck and released it.  As the kit scampered away, the guy joked, "Where's my thank you?" as Huffington post translated.

  • No matter what

    Max Walsh
    20 Jun 2013 | 12:34 am
    Last night I'd entered a hotel that was still under construction but was open. Inside I met my friend Matt who said he would save me money by only paying for himself and letting me share his room. I waited for Matt to pay and go to the room and I entered a short time after. Upon going in the room I could hear the Boyzone song, 'No matter what' coming from the bathroom. I noticed that there were two single beds but only one had bedding on it. The bathroom door opened and Matt paraded into the room dressed in bright yellow pyjamas and he was singing out loud, "No matter what they…

  • Willy Wonka toilet dunk

    19 Jun 2013 | 12:40 am
    Once again my dream was centred around me needing the toilet. This time I was holding a hardback copy of the book Willy Wonka and the chocolate factory. I made my way into a public toilet with three cubicles with my book under my arm. I entered a cubicle and instead of a toilet there was a large blue plastic barrel full of water. I carefully balanced my book on the rim of the barrel and began to pee. As I am still doing my business a small boy enters the cubicle and spits on my book. Outraged by this I take hold of the boys head and dunk it repeatedly into the barrel. The…

    Standing in the street with a gun blasting oncoming aliens with a handful of others doing the same, I took pleasure in killing every last one of them. Or so I thought, as I stood triumphant the sky darkened as a massive alien spaceship filled the horizon. We turned and fled as a huge tidal wave of water started to crash through the streets towards us. Before I could get far I was engulfed in water. The next thing I knew I was collecting horse pooh from a field and loading it into a wheelbarrow. With my barrow full I started to head for the gate out of the filed. I then…

It wasn't clear as I was in a terminal waiting to depart but couldn't see beyond the exit. I didn't have a suitcase but knew I had left one somewhere but couldn't remember where it was. Everyone around me were either carrying or pulling a suitcase on wheels. The suitcases were all at least 8 feet tall too, making them extremely difficult to manoeuvre.  As I watched the people go by, they were either attempting to pick up fallen cases or struggling to move them across the shiny floor.       …

    I was slowly reversing my car up to the closed door of a garage. It looked fairly ordinary as garages go but I was aware that it was for sale and the asking price was one million pounds. I stopped switched off my engine and stared intently at it through my rear view mirror. The next thing I was aware of was that I was late for school, I was an adult and the school was one that I worked at rather than attended as a child. Knowing that I faced losing my job for constantly being late I franticly ran along empty corridors looking for teachers. I spent hours searching the…
