neogoing to write a proper introduction post! hello, my name is neo. i'm a transmasc in my 20's. generally speaking i like machines that move people, amusement rides, shooter games, and various sci fi and sci fi-adjacent media. i'm in between jobs right now, but my background spans aerospace engineering, acting, teaching, and operating amusement rides. i occasionally draw and shoot 35mm film! (even less often, i write mediocre fanfiction.) i'm on the fence about talking about my mental issues on new social media pages but you might find me mentioning them down the line. i'll put my interests in the tags. (hopefully that's considered helpful here, like mastodon, and not spammy like it is on some sites.) happy to be here! <a class="hashtag" href="https://app.wafrn.net/dashboard/search/introduction" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#introduction</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://app.wafrn.net/dashboard/search/35mm" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#35mm</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://app.wafrn.net/dashboard/search/photography" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#photography</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://app.wafrn.net/dashboard/search/art" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#art</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://app.wafrn.net/dashboard/search/aviation" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#aviation</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://app.wafrn.net/dashboard/search/spaceflight" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#spaceflight</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://app.wafrn.net/dashboard/search/amusement%20rides" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#amusement-rides</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://app.wafrn.net/dashboard/search/roller%20coasters" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#roller-coasters</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://app.wafrn.net/dashboard/search/transformers" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#transformers</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://app.wafrn.net/dashboard/search/tron" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#tron</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://app.wafrn.net/dashboard/search/mass%20effect" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#mass-effect</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://app.wafrn.net/dashboard/search/half%20life" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#half-life</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://app.wafrn.net/dashboard/search/portal" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#portal</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://app.wafrn.net/dashboard/search/doom" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#doom</a>

Juliet Merida, Dum Tran Elf 🏳️‍⚧️Alton Towers fans sure are an interesting bunch. They cosplay anthropomorphic roller coasters. I've even seen someone with a Smiler fursuit. Imagine Cedar Point fans doing that. Picture me cosplaying Magnum XL-200. That'd be rad, right? <a href="https://merida.hair/tags/AlronTowers" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#AlronTowers</a> <a href="https://merida.hair/tags/CedarPoint" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#CedarPoint</a> <a href="https://merida.hair/tags/rollercoasters" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#rollercoasters</a>

Juliet Merida, Dum Tran Elf 🏳️‍⚧️Reliving waiting in the station for Cedar Point's now-retired Wicked Twister. You could always tell if they were hitting their dispatch interval or not because there would be a backward launch on a long screech in the station music. (About 5:05 in the full length song) <a href="https://merida.hair/tags/CedarPoint" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#CedarPoint</a> <a href="https://merida.hair/tags/RollerCoasters" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#RollerCoasters</a>

Juliet Merida, Dum Tran Elf 🏳️‍⚧️The coaster wheel project is complete (for now)! The wheel is out of the vinegar and got another good scrub with soap and water before getting dried and oiled a little bit. Any rust that's visible is flash rust- which formed after treatment while it was still a little wet with water. Pretty hard to avoid any rust. I'm super, duper, incredibly happy with how it turned out. Even the rust on the grease port has been cleared. Most of the iron oxide (the black dust) was removed in the vinegar soak and with a soapy scrub. The very last thing I plan to do is to give it a little bit of a polish. But here it is, all cleaned up! I do wish the smooth coating was more intact but this is the wheel I have to work with unless someone at Holiday World reads this and wants to send me a new one! ;) If I ever get around to trying to polish this thing up I will definitely share pics of it. Until then, that's it for this restoration. It was a lot of fun and I'm super happy with it.

Juliet Merida, Dum Tran Elf 🏳️‍⚧️Here's the wheel this morning after an overnight in the tank. It got a scrub with the kitchen brush, dried up, and oiled a little. It's still going to go back in the tank later, but damn, I'm happy with the progress. You can see some of the smooth coating (teflon?) on the road surface of the wheel is still intact. This is why I didn't want to sandblast or brush it. I wanted to preserve as much of that as possible. <a href="https://merida.hair/tags/RollerCoasters" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#RollerCoasters</a> <a href="https://merida.hair/tags/HolidayWorld" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#HolidayWorld</a> <a href="https://merida.hair/tags/ThemeParks" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ThemeParks</a>

Juliet Merida, Dum Tran Elf 🏳️‍⚧️Next up for the electrolysis tank: This roller coaster upstop wheel from Holiday World's The Raven that I won at a charity auction. My mom decided I didn't want it anymore (???) and threw it in the drainage ditch across from her house (!!!) where I had to fish it out all rusted. <a href="https://merida.hair/tags/RollerCoasters" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#RollerCoasters</a> <a href="https://merida.hair/tags/HolidayWorld" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#HolidayWorld</a> <a href="https://merida.hair/tags/RustRemoval" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#RustRemoval</a>

Juliet Merida, Dum Tran Elf 🏳️‍⚧️I just learned that, according to the Ohio Department of Natural Resources, cedar trees are not native to Ohio. So what the hell did they name a peninsula in Lake Erie "Cedar Point" for? <a href="https://merida.hair/tags/RollerCoasters" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#RollerCoasters</a> <a href="https://merida.hair/tags/CedarPoint" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#CedarPoint</a> <a href="https://merida.hair/tags/CLE" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#CLE</a>

Matt McIrvin<a href="https://beige.party/@ericg" class="u-url mention">@ericg</a> The one of these I've ridden is Big Bad Wolf, and yes. That wasn't my first roller coaster but it was the one that convinced me that I could love roller coasters.But I think that, in hindsight, I also miss the one I rode before that, which was Mr. Twister at the original Elitch Gardens. At the time, it was too much for me. But man.And then... there's Drachen Fire. Kind of a love-hate taste to the memories there.<a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/tags/rollercoasters" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#rollercoasters</a>
