Would you like an error with your terror?
What frightens a seasoned IT professional? A screen streaked with unidentified fluid? An error message that only hints at what has gone wrong behind the scenes?
Roller coasters are not scary. Nausea-inducing, yes. Scary? No. However, what if the kiosks surrounding the attractions have been lightly touched with the wand of the bork fairy? Would that make strapping oneself into a vehicle to be flung along some rails a little bit worrying? Quite possibly.A Register reader spotted today's entrant into the pantheon of Bork at a Six Flags park in San Antonio, making Six Flags Fiesta Texas the likely venue.
The screen is streaked with what we sincerely hope are traces of rain, although the proximity of roller coasters means it could easily be something else. The screen itself is calling for the installation of a custom app. It's probably an Android or Linux device, and somebody has passed it an invalid URL for the app's location.
There's an OK button to jab, but we're not sure we'd want to find out if that's an active touchscreen by putting a digit anywhere near it.Based on location, the background might feature the Iron Rattler, a hybrid roller coaster with a wooden structure and steel rails, whose cars can hit 70 mph. Reflected in the screen might be the SUPERGIRL Sky Flight ride, but it's difficult to be sure.
