What’s Up Wednesdays: Coasters and Pho
March 24th, 2010 by Michael KwanIf you want to be featured in a future speedlink session, it would be in your best interest to follow me on Twitter and send a message when you feel it’s appropriate. This blog is a two-way street, after all.
Betshopboy went on a pre-launch preview of a theme park a little while back and now he’s been able to enjoy the rides at the newly opened Universal Studios Singapore. While there, he shot a couple of videos, featuring everything from Far Far Away Castle (Shrek) to the Battlestar Galactica roller coaster!
Ed Lau is a bit of a night owl, to put it mildly. As such, he’s always looking for a good place for a late night snack. On one of his more recent excursion, he paid a visit to Kim Penh Xe Lua on West Broadway. The pho was mediocre, but what can you expect at three in the morning?
Damien Riley may be better known around these parts as a blogger, but he has another set of skills too. Head down to the Grind in Apple Valley to enjoy the classic and modern rock acoustic stylings of the teacher and blogger. He’ll be there on Saturday, April 3rd from 8pm to 9:30pm.
Jon Lee is doing his part to reduce, reuse, and recycle. He had some nice gift boxes lying around from Louis Vuitton, so he fashioned a mini drawer set that is both fashionable and functional. I like to reuse containers and things too, since it feels like such a waste to throw them away.
Darren Barefoot has discovered one of the most valuable resources for Vancouver’s drivers. It’s a map of cheap parking in and around the city. The color-coded map will certainly come in handy the next time you go for a concert or hockey game!

Thanks for the plug of my show Michael. Now off to check out the other links in this post! Take it easy man.
Thanks for the shout-out!
My family and I had a blasting time at the new theme park! Did I ever mention I am a roller-coaster junkie?
Great video’s my friend and the the excitement you and your son had on the dinosaur ride was great! Kids, they make us
If you ever make it out to California, try to go to Six Flags and ride the “X” coaster. That’s my favorite of the coasters I’ve tried so far; I really want to make it out to Sandusky, Ohio to visit Cedar Pointe. It’s supposed to be the best coaster park in the world.
The “X” coaster has a a G-force of 5G’s! I want to try it!
The max G-force roller coaster I’ve taken so far is the “Lethal Weapon” roller coaster located at Warner Bros. Movie World in Gold Coast, Queensland, Australia. It has a G-force of 4G’s.
What’s great about X is that it’s a “4G” coaster in that the seats rotate and flip while they go down the track. You’re going “forward” one moment and “backward” the next without really noticing when the transition happened. Pretty amazing.
