    Why do we not yet have a video game that does this? #googlestreetviewcycling

    @aarriaga001: Not fun to do in the rain. It rains A LOT in Washington. Not to mention that drivers on the roads around my home are so rude and dangerous that my kids can’t ride around here, but they sure will play on that darn Xbox for hours on end. #googlestreetviewcycling

    Note that it's sponsored by Raytheon. Presumably they're collecting data on the most effective uses of hydraulics and fans to make people throw up, which they will then sell to Google for use with the Stingrays.

    Back in spring 2003 I used the simulator they had in Disneyquest over at Disney World. I basically put in as many loop-the-loops and corkscrews as I was allowed, strapped in, and nearly hurled.

    It was fantastic.

    So, now you got a line to get on the ride that doesn't move because there are too many people taking FAR too long to create their own roller coaster experience.

    Couples would be the worst. He wanting more loops and she wanting to retain her lunch just a bit longer.

    @smegz: Knowing Disney it probably only gives you a short time to design the coaster before it finishes the track it's self timed to the time it takes to run the coaster for the people in front of you.

    And most Disney rides run reservation pass lines now so the people waiting are the ones who chose to wait.

    I understand they only show 4 robots at the time because of money and space issues, but I really want to see a demo of several dozens of the things forming an entire floor. Then you could probably walk at a regular pace without having to stop and wait all the time.

    Alright, Science, here's the plan. We're gonna build a moat around my house, k? Now bear with me on this. There will be a small platform on the outer edge with a keypad that, once you enter the access code, will release these bots. They will be retrofitted to do this crazy maneuver over the water, thus creating the coolest way to cross a moat ever.

    You do the retrofitting on this, and I give you guys the access code. You guys can come over anytime for drinks and Guitar Hero.

    Also, if you can maybe install an attack mode in the bots for use on intruders, that'd be cool too.

    @mikeness: Hippies don't know the first thing about kidnapping, and wouldn't know the first thing about brainwashing, as they'd be so adamantly trying to avoid being brainwashed themselves, donning bandanas lined with silica and aluminum foil to keep the satellite signals out of their heads, and popping shrooms and hitting bongs to have an otherworldly experience.
