I saw Ted last night. By far one of the funniest movies I've seen so far.

I saw Buckethead for the first time at Rams Head Live last night in Baltimore. Puts on a good show like always, and I got a Star Wars toy from him.

If I remember correctly, when Drachen Fire was in it's SBNO stage, I heard they were supposed to replace the train's OTS restrains with lap bars for a smoother ride. Instead they tried selling, then decided to tear it down. -

Busch Gardens Williamsburg in August, my friend and I rode in the back seat of Alpengeist when it started to storm as we started going up the lift hill. One of the best experiences I've had on a roller coaster. A few months later in October, another friend of mine went with me to Kings Dominion, the whole trip was perfect. It was his first time actually going to an amusement park. My first ride on Intimidator was awesome, and I definitely won't forget about the guy a couple rows in front of me, loosing his camera after going over one of the hills.

Hidden treasures/left overs

Seeing Drachen Fire's station is still pretty cool to see. I didn't know there were still footers there. Anyone who's been to SFA, if you look closely under Wild One's track, you can see the original track before it was reprofiled. http://www.themeparkreview.com/parks/photo.php?pageid=45&linkid=333 If you look cloesly in the 5th picture you can see where the original track was at. -
I'm really sick. I woke up still had a headache and my throat was killing me. At least I didn't have to go to school today.

A few nights ago I was heading home from work around 12 when a deer came from the woods and crossed infront of me. Needless to say I didn't have time to stop and it hit the driver side of my car. The fender needs to be replaced and my headlights need to be adjusted. It's still driveable and it's not to bad but my local body shop said that it won't be able to be fixed by July 12th. Thankfully my insurance will cover it. The worst part about it was cleaning the blood and hair off of it.

I know how that is. My co-workers irritate me a lot of the times I work. Most of the times they don't even do their jobs and I'm the one working.

I ordered new headlights for my RSX a week ago and they finally came in. Can't wait till they get installed. My stock headlights are a nightmare to drive at night with.

Coaster Shows on TV
mike541x replied to kenshinmac's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
I actually have a lot of VHS recordings of Coaster/Theme Park shows. That's one of the reasons that got me hooked on coasters. The one I have is called Thrills Chills and Spills, and one of my favorites on it is "Making of a Coaster" which they show the construction of Lightning Racer, and Steel Dragon 2000. The other shows on the tape was Scream Park, which they showed everything about SFMM. One of the oldest VHS tapes I have date back to 1995 or 1996 called Field Trip. It was basiclly one of those educational shows, and had Middle Schoolers at Kings Dominion learning about science/physics. The tape followed Kennywood Memories, and Wild Rides. I used to watch those on Friday nights as a kid. Good times.... -
I didn't get the 5.0 Mustang I wanted, but I got my second choice of car. The Acura RSX. It's a 2002, 5-speed manual transmition. When I bought it, it was lowered, had a cold air intake and had performance exhaust on it. I love this car.

Homeboy's 2010 Cross-Country Adventure

Yeah Nessie got repainted during the off season. In fact, when I visited during Christmas Town, the rails had Primer on them. Nice TR. I can't wait to visit Busch Gardens this summer. Maybe even in May on my way back from VA Beach. -
Weather is getting warmer, and days are getting longer.
