Loops Can be Cool

Loops on coasters can be cool. Sometimes I lose my gum, though.

Are you thankful for AAARN&R?

Without the determination of this group and its founder, I'm sure the world would be a much worse place with ARN&R free to roam the planet uncontested.

People have been helped and cured by AAARN&R, its members and serum. Or friend Boils is back on the scene and all is well except for the state of WEST VIRGINIA (WV for arnr to understand).

No wonder Tina is having relapses living there. ARN&R has decimated that place and continues to fully fund and support the cheap, sleazy dives that exist there.

Im thankful that we have AAARN&R to fight this scurge on our planet.

We should have WV cleaned up in the next decade or so.

Funky turns 40!

Our own reporter with the "Funk" has turned 40 earlier then expected. Reading ARNR has made him age faster then not reading ARNR. Is that not enough proof for you none believers?

Happy Birthday Funky! Kiss to da Man!

AAARNR Recommends: "Revenge of the Sith" DVD Release

As a part of a new ongoing series of articles here at AAARNR, we're going to present some recommendations we're certain our readers will appreciate. We're doing this also as a kind of "statement" to show that we can write articles that have nothing to do with... "them." In fact, you'll notice that this article won't even mention... "them." They, of course, will have no interest in the information in these articles, but we don't care what "they" think. Here goes:

AAARNR highly recommends new the release: "Star Wars III: Revenge of the Sith." With six-never-before seen deleted scenes including introductions by the genious himself (the honorable Mr. Lucas) this DVD is not to be missed for all S.W. buffs (like us). Without spoiling too much, I have to say this: Yoda goes to Dagoba - watch it happen now! Along with lots of excellent trailers and theatrical teasers, there is also a full-length documentary entitled "Within a Minute" giving an in-depth look into the filmaking process of the myriad of people it took to create just one sixty second scene. There is also a cool music video called "A Hero Falls" featuring a John Williams track.

In all, you will NOT be disappointed. It's safe to say that this is our official AAARNR #1 DVD release recommendation for the year 2005 (for more info on this you can go to one of our favorite sites: http://www.supershadow.com/. Being that we're a family site, we recommend not clicking on the sidebar link to the Princess Leia Gold Bikini Pictures).

Happy Viewing

In Memory of Movieland Wax Museum: 1962 - 2005

Yet another casualty (on the long list of them) has gone seemingly unnoticed. Movieland Wax Museum closed its doors on October 31st. Our friend "the Reverend" tells me he attended a High School event with his (future) wife there back in the 80's (back when local cover bands were playing Duran Duran etc - because it was the hottest thing). Closing also is... believe it or not... Ripley's Believe it or Not. Granted, probably most of us haven't been there in a little while... but we would've... if we thought we could go without becoming targets of derision because of it (they, of course, had a wax replication of the Starship Enterprise and its cast - which some of us will make bids on).

How people can't see the connection with ARNR and their types to all this is beyond me. They mock all the things we like including: True Liberty (Libertyland closes); Coasters (Astroworld Closes); Family fun, Star Trek, and Duran Duran (Movieland Wax Museum closes); Real, documented, stories and facts (Ripley's Believe it or Not closes).

Buena Park will never be the same and neither will we. If ARNR isn't stopped we could potentially see Wax Museums closing everywhere.

AAARnR Salutes Rosa Parks!

Our own Funky reports from the field:
With the recent passing of the Mother of All who refuse to be conformists (Rosa Parks) AAARN&R acknowledges her as the leader and founder of our movement against the evil ARN&R.

Rosa was the only person other than GOD, some twenty five hundred years ago (When God said "let my people go!"), to say: "We're not gonna take it anymore!" She stood her ground, said "I'm free and freedom means I sit where I want to!"

Thus lies the roots of AAARN&R. We rufuse to take the abuses dished out by them and support and defend all who come under attack by this nasty and deceitful group of Internet Bandits.

AAAR&R, like Rosa, says: We will not go gently into the night, we will not give up, without a fight. Stand up with all your might, and end ARN&R's evil blight.

AAARN&R Salutes Rosa Parks.
RIP Rosa 2005

In Memory of Astroworld: 1968 - 2005

Here's something you won't find on ARNR. A tribute "bite" for a park that's soon to be gone - forever: The Thrill is Gone

Feel free to post any of your own memories / comments about this.

(Yes, of course, in some ways we blame ARNR)

ARNR Rips Holiday World and Earns New Acronym

I just CAN'T believe it. After EVERYTHING Holiday World has done to provide us with a QUALITY park for our families, ARNR has to twist their blog into some kind've Satanic sickness! Are there NO boundaries? Is there NO END to them being:

Absolutely

Revolting

N

Reviling

(?)

Since Holiday World (and all the good people like Paula etc) work so hard to provide us with our (arguably) MOST beloved park, for the LIFE of me... FOR THE LOVE OF ALL THAT'S GOOD and DECENT!!!.. I don't know HOW enthusiasts can stay on good terms with ARNR. People PLEASE explain your position - if you even HAVE one.

AAArn&r is working, check this out!

My source that was reluctant to look at ARNR, saw it today, and there has been no new activity for 4 days. We are winning the war guys! Keep boycotting, and check out a real coaster site www.cnajunkies.com Sign up and make ARNR disappear! You know you can't resist the good!

Katie, locked and loaded with the serum gun.

What better reason could you possibly need to stay away from it?

ARNR not making fun of the Bengals?

My source has just confirmed that ARNR isn't making fun of the Bengals. Wow, I think they have lost it. ARNR join us, and learn to be calm, and not bullies. You know you want to.

Go to a Real Coaster Site

We thought it'd be helpful for people to know where they can find a real coaster site. Most people there hate ARNR just like we do. Here's to CnA Junkies.

(We're certain ARNR will being making fun of it soon)

For the Record: We Officially Support All Podcasts

Unlike what we've recently heard about ARNR smacking Thrillnet's podcast, here at AAARNR we're great fans of all podcasts. Being big fans of Clint Novak, we were previously torn over the way he was treated at a particular website. Once again, we plan on tuning in to Clint, Will, and all other coaster-related podcasts... continuously, and if possible... simultaneously.

However, we would appreciate them not making fun of the Alveys.

Why can't we be friends?

Japan Trip Returnees Open Forum About ARNR

Although we were certain the Japan trip people wouldn't be too happy about how they were being scoffed by ARNR, we're now realizing that many of them are more angry than what we originally thought. We admit we do a lot of goofing around (w/ esoteric exchanges etc.) here on AAARNR, but we're going to take a bit of a breather and allow any Japan returnees the opportunity to vent their true feelings about ARNR on the comment section of this article. You're welcome to use your real names, though we'd highly recommend not doing that since you'll make yourself subject to further derision.

Hope this proves to be a service to express yourselves.

Funpark Founder Remains Steadfast Against ARNR

Or at least we think that's what's meant by recent post update. At any rate, JL57/JackM50 refuses to waste time waiting for an apology from ARNR. We'd link you to the site but we can't figure out how. It probably has something to do with copying links and opening windows.

Japan Trip Enthusiasts Get Stinkin' Mad and Pull Plug on ARNR

Yep... and it's about time. To all Japan trip enthusiasts: You'll feel welcome here.

We hate'm too

(However, we'd legitimately like to see the Day 14 pictures, if possible)

My First Article

This is my first article and I'm not sure what all to say. AA encouraged me to do this so I did. I just want to say that those ARN&R guys are mean and I'm not going back there anymore. I think the Duran Duran bit is what pushed me over the edge.

"ARNR Fan" Gets Banned from AAARNR

After a deep, heart-felt struggle, it's been decided that the one known as "ARNR Fan" is now officially BANNED from this site. It's not in our nature to ban people, since we're typically respectful of people's views and tastes. This individual, however, has just gone too far. Though some presented the argument "keep in mind he's one of the only regular readers you have on the site" - we're sticking to our guns. We'd rather have a site that nobody reads than have a site that HE reads. For those of you who feel he was a contributor here and enjoyed his rantings, we apologize.

We realize that this will change the dynamic of this site considerably. Although we're thankful in some ways for his frank input, the decision has been made (the council has voted) and he's gone, never to return again (ever).

This is probably an appropriate time to explain our reasonings behind the "banning" of this individual. Our sources tell us that he e-mailed a written message to someone. This person (whom he shouldn't have been e-mailing to begin with) opened the unwanted e-mail and discovered a written message. The person discovering the message then forwarded the e-mail to someone else. When that person received it... he read it. It's a shame that all this is going on. Once again, we feel it's in the best interest of this site to permenantly BAN "ARNR fan."

There are some rumors going around that some on this site feel like he SHOULDN'T have been banned. Those rumors need to stop. We know that people have their sentimental favorite contributors, but what must be done must be done. Be certain that the AAARNR administration team has been deliberating about this for quite some time. Besides literally losing sleep over this, several members of the team have become physically ill. Be mindful that our site is read by numerous people within the coaster community industry and that flagrant posters, if allowed to continue in their "ways," can prove detrimental to us ever being able to host any kinds of events at parks.

We're certain if all those reading this knew all the facts about the situation they'd side with the decision that's been made. On my own part, I even made a phone call to a member of my family (my mother) about the decision before "pulling the plug" (so to speak). It's our stated goal that as many people as possible will be able peruse the information found on this site without this ever having to happen again. Somehow, we should all be able to enjoy the company of other like-minded people who hate ARNR without the kind of flagrancies going on that make the experience of coming here less enjoyable. Once again, if this decision has offended anyone, we're sorry, but it just has to be this way.

Since we are in no way are trying to depreciate the fond memories that people have of ARNR fan, we're going to let his existing posts remain on the site. The posts themselves are now forever archived and nothing can change that, like the good times they represent to some. Some will likely read them and say "if they represent good times, why does it have to end this way?" Never mind that, what's done is done. There are principles that have to be maintained in order for this to be the quality site that people know and love. If you have any more questions about this decision, or any other decisions pertaining to AAARNR's website, feel free to email us and, if need be, we can spend hours (or even days) discussing it. Until people are ready to discuss this issue like adults, however, let's be of one mind in getting back to our usual pursuit of bringing down ARNR.
