April 4[edit]

What is this type of ride called?[edit]

I know with fairground rides owners give the same ride many names, but is there a generic name for this type of ride? I know it's called Miami Trip and there are many other similar rides but with different names, but I was wondering whether it just has a generic name like dodgems or ferris wheel. Thanks.

I fixed your link. Do you have a better image? It's hard for me to see what it is or what it does. Are those seats on the upper half that extend from the right side to a little way past the center of the image? Dismas|(talk) 03:59, 4 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
I think Miami trip is the "canonical" name. There is a ridiculous amount of information about it here. decltype (talk) 04:08, 4 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. I will try and find a better image, it was from a news article. In the meantime, basically what it does it that the whole row of seats move round and round, looping...it's really hard to describe...Chevymontecarlo. 04:44, 4 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

this is a little clearer, because the row of seats are up in the air basically the row of seats go round and round on the two arms that you can see in the photo supporting the seats. Sorry about the first dodgy photo. Chevymontecarlo. 04:46, 4 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Oasis single[edit]

Which Oasis single was it that had Liam Gallagher and Noel Gallagher in a heated argument, making it into the charts?--Editor510 drop us a line, mate 13:02, 4 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I think you probably mean Wibbling Rivalry.--Michig (talk) 13:16, 4 April 2010 (UTC) It's also on Youtube [1]--Michig (talk) 13:24, 4 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you, sir or madam.--Editor510 drop us a line, mate 19:05, 4 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hockey teams of black[edit]

Which hockeynhl teams have black jerseys (current)?96.52.92.106 (talk) 22:45, 4 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Well, if you're talking specifically about the NHL, then the Boston Bruins are one. For the rest of the teams, you can just browse through this list. Each team's article should have an image of their uniforms. Dismas|(talk) 23:21, 4 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

We had this question a few months ago. (And then one a few days later about players with black hair who have scored a goal in a CBC-televised game...not sure where this is going.) Adam Bishop (talk) 03:45, 5 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
If you are interested in not just current teams but throughout the history of the NHL, I recommend going to the Hockey Uniform Database Michael J 21:57, 5 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
That on e is about home teams. I'm including away teams.174.3.123.220 (talk) 01:47, 6 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
