I have ridden several different types of simulators in many different
years.  The IAAPA convention last year had 5 simulators you could try. 
The one you are talking about sounds like the Doran.  It is quite
popular to put in malls because it is rather inexpensive and doesn't
take up much space.  It is a fair ride, IMHO.  It's major drawback is
its movie screen.  I feel it is rather small and kind of dark.  Not at
all like the newer simulator rides like Iwerks Turbo Theater, Body Wars
and Star Tours at Disney, Questor at Busch Gardens, etc.  If you never
experienced it, I suggest you try it once and see if you like it.  My
wife, who has ridden hundreds of different coasters around the world
with me, has a hard time with simulators.  Too much rocking and jerking
action.  She also doesn't like the closed in feeling of being in the
closed car.  We rode one at IAAPA last year, I think it was from a
manufacturer like Fairchild (never seen it anyplace before).  It was
similar to the Doran except it had a brighter screen.  The video shown
was a ride down a water slide at a water park.  Well they simply kept
twisting and bouncing and rocking the vehicle for about 5 minutes until
we both almost lost it.  It was a little too much of that type of
action even for me.
 
One last suggestion.  Make sure that when you get on it they are
showing the Beast.  Sometimes they have several presentations and
rotate them.  You might be getting on thinking you are getting on the
Beast but get to see flying daredevils.  Then after you ride go watch
the vehicle from the outside and see if you can pick out all the
different sections of the Beast.  It is kind of fun to pick out the
lift hill, the second drop, the old break shed, the other turns, the
second lift hill and the helix.

(This is an FYI post)

After weeks of telephone tag, I finally got a
chance to catch up with one of our more noteable
former noters last evening, Dale English.

Dale sez "Hi!" to everyone on the NET.  He worked
the summer at Darien Lake as part of the VIPER crew.
Dale was quick to denounce rumors that Darien Lake
was "looking at" Mass-based Riverside Park for
purchase.  He notes that Darien suffered in attendance
figures this year, and speculates the park will 
probably scale back on any major expansions for 1993,
let alone try and buy another park!!

After Labor Day, Dale took off for England.  He hit
Blackpool Pleasure Beach, Dreamworld, and Chessington's
World of Adventure while across the pond.  Dale added 
12 coasters to his stats.  Of course, the GRAND NATIONAL 
was a bit hit with him, as were all the coasters at Blackpool, 
but he aslo enjoyed the Arrow suspended coaster at Chessington, 
and the Schwarzkopf Looping Star at Dreamworld.

Dale "I love all Arrow Coasters" English has had a 
revelation, and has seen the light!!  Dale reports
"Man, that Scwarzkopf Looping Star was a dynamite little
coaster!!  I had to get used to the positive g's pulling
me forward in the loop (the lack of horse collar restraints
allow for more body movement under g forces), and I hit my
head a couple of times, but after I got used to it, I loved
it".  

I hope Dale continues to ride more of Anton's works.  His
travel plans for 1993 include "Texas" and hopefully SFGAm
in Chicago.  He reports he hopes to be back on the NET
in the very near future.


All for now...

For the folkx in the Western Pennsylvania area:


The following is a statement prepared by Miquel Saque of GUARACHA describing
the upcoming concert at the Graffiti.  If you have any questions, please
contact him directly at 412-621-6247.

--------------     begin here    ------------------

In 1492, the Tiano people of the Caribbean welcomed Christopher Columbus,
a man who was traveling essentially to find a way to 
get rich fast, to their shores.

Now in 1992, we are commerorating 500 years since that event, and there's
alot to be said about what has happened in those 500 years.

GUARACHA, the popular Pittsburgh Latin/Salsa Dance Band whose music is
based on the tradition of the Caribbean performs at the Graffiti on Tuesday 
in conjunction with Rusted Root as part of the Pittsburgh People's
Quincentennial Concert.  This is a way of celebrating the quincintenial in
an alternative way.  Instead of celebrating Chistopher Columbus, 
we're celebrating the contributions of people of all races to the American 
experience.   The show begins at 8pm at the Graffiti in Oakland.

Hi,
Spelling is correct. 
Rai is not middle eastern, it was born in Algeria around ORAN. It has
now spread all over the Maghreb and France. The songs talk about
daily preoccupations of normal people ( :-)  ), very much like some
brand of rock-and roll. (love, societal constraints, i.e., how strict
ISLAM is a pain in the neck when you are young and want to enjoy life,
i.e., for the magrheb kids who live in France and sing RAI, how
life there can be a pain in the neck because of racism and rain
everyday etc.. etc..)

Rai: the word means advice. To "give a rai" is to give a piece
of advice. Most songs are in arabic, exceptionally somebody will
sing in French (e.g. a couple songs in Khaled's last album)

Discography:
The uncontested master now at his peak:  CHEB KHALED (or KHALED)
e.g., get the CD called DIDI
Another CD is KHALED and Safi Boutela. Boutela is an algerian
musician oriented toward Jazz. The music in that CD is outstanding.

A young upcoming kid: CHEB KADER. There is one CD put out by 
Schanachie in the US, which is very well done. However I saw him last
week, and he was terrible on the stage. Khaled on the other hand is
a stage beast. If you travel to Paris or the Magrheb, I would suggest
checking the concert listings, maybe you will get lucky.
  
EJ

PS. Because of the fun loving nature of the music, RAI artists 
and
afficionados are not well loved by the algerian fundamentalists.

There's not really any precedent either way, but speaking as someone who
recently tried to buy a few singles from someone on the net and then
discovered that this was what he was doing ("oh, by the way, <x> offered
me more money than you, how much more will you give me now?") I can
guarantee that it's a *great* way to make yourself look like a complete
greedhead.  If you're going to do it, make sure everyone knows going in
that that's what's going to happen, and it'd probably be best to keep the
bid updates to email after you post the initial announcement here.

Our mailer is having some difficulty reaching your address, Knut, so I'm 
posting this reply:

Dear Knut,

I read your post on rec.music.   Though I now live in the states, I lived
just outside London for six years and bought a lot of music gear there -
I'm a piano player, but what I have to say is relevant to saxophonists too.

There is one very good way to buy used music gear in London, England.  There
is a publication which comes out every weekday in London called LOOT.  It
is printed in newspaper form and it is a different color every day.  It is
a bit smaller than a full size newspaper and is sold by pretty much every
stationer and news agent in the city.  It is THE place to sell in London.
It costs about 60p (= a dollar).  It has a large music section, and you
will usually find many saxophones for sale every day.  If you buy the thing
every day for two weeks, you will probably see somebody selling the
exact sax you want.  Say you want a Selmer Mark VI.  You see a few of these
in LOOT every day.  If you want something rarer, say that top-of-the-range
Yamaha that Sanborn and Jay Beckenstein use, you'd probably see about one
going a week.  Basically I have bought all my kit just by watching the 
keyboards section of LOOT until somebody advertizes the thing I want.  Then
I give them a call.  The prices you get are very good.  Much better than
anything over here.  There's competition, you see, because everybody is
selling the same things.  If you have two Selmers, one for 2000 pounds and
one for 1500, who's going to pay the higher price?

If you don't like the idea of buying from a musician, rather than a store,
you could check out London's music district, just on the edge of Soho in
Charing Cross (get off at Oxford Circus underground station).  Opposite
Foyle's bookstore there's a whole bunch of music stores, the most famous
being Rose Morris.  I'd recommend LOOT though.
