Bob and Doug McKenzie are a pair of fictional Canadian brothers who hosted "Great White North", a sketch which was introduced on SCTV for the show's third season when it moved to CBC Television in 1980. Bob is played by Rick Moranis and Doug is played by Dave Thomas. Although created originally as filler to both satisfy and mock network Canadian content demands, the duo became a pop culture phenomenon in both Canada and the United States.
The characters were later revived for an animated series, Bob & Doug, which premiered on Global in 2009.
At least one million copies of the album were sold within North America, 350,000 of these within Canada alone which earned a triple-platinum certification from the Canadian Recording Industry Association.
The Great White North entered the RPM Canadian album charts at #3 on 12 December 1981 and rose to the #1 position the following week where it remained until 23 January 1982. Overall, RPM ranked the album #40 of albums released in Canada during 1981.
The song "Take Off" (identified on the album as "the hit single section"), featured guest vocalist Geddy Lee of Rush. It was indeed a hit, peaking at number 16 on the Billboard 100 singles chart in March 1982.
At Morey's Piers & Beachfront Waterparks, it has been operating since 1996 and has 2 trains from the Philadelphia Toboggan Company with 6 cars per train. Riders are arranged 2 across in 2 rows for a total of 24 riders per train. The ride starts by dropping into a tunnel beneath the boardwalk. After exiting the tunnel, the ride climbs up the 110-foot lift hill before dropping 100 feet at a 50-degree-angle, reaching a maximum speed of 50mph (80km/h). The ride then goes off the boardwalk and towards the beach. This ride was built over the beach because Morey's Piers ran out of room on the pier. A rather special feature is that the ride lacks drive tires, as the downward slope of the station run is enough to propel the train in the station. This ride is being constantly checked out by inspectors and has its track replaced frequently.This is one of the three coaster's at Morey's and the only one that is a hybrid coaster. The ride has been retracked by Martin & Vleminckx.
Despite its shortened track length, The Great White follows an identical ride layout as the Batman the Ride coasters at numerous Six Flags parks. At 2,562 feet (about 150 shorter than Batman's 2,693 foot layout), the coaster doesn't allow riders as much time to "recuperate" between inversions, consequently offering an extreme, forceful ride experience. Furthermore, The Great White sits lower to the ground, often deceiving its riders with elements such as "foot-choppers" as there are many trees and shrubs surrounding the coaster's track. The Great White is sometimes considered to be more intense than its Six Flags' cousin because of its added 8th row (Goliath has only seven rows per train) and shorter track length (2,562 feet, compared to Goliath's 2,700 feet. Its layout consists of the following inversions:

The Great White Throne // September 22, 2024
This week, in Revelation 20:7-15, we will cover two different themes. First, we will look at the total defeat of Satan and God throwing him into hell forever. Second, we will look at the great white throne of Jesus, and how he will call everyone who has ever lived and not accepted him as Lord and Savior before him, and they will receive his ultimate eternal judgment.
The good news is if you love Jesus, you will never face that eternal judgment seat. It is reserved for only those who have rejected him as Lord and Savior. Just make sure that you do love Jesus, make sure you give your heart to him, and make sure that you have repented of your sins and want to live for him forever.
