Hello, there! I'M JediCoasterKid (AKA TheUndercoverJedi, Jedi1138, etc, etc, etc!)
Well...I'm probably one of the few girls on this board (though that remains to be seen), but here goes:
I'm a total coaster newbie, but already addicted. Be prepared for my coaster history, 'cause it is VERY short!
Way back in '98, I got up the nerve to ride Jaguar at Knotts'...and have never looked back. Though I was too chicken to ride anything else after that until three years later! Space Mountian came next, followed by a failed attempt to really get my feet wet at Six Flags. I ended up riding Goldrusher (twice) and Ninja 'cause me and my bro had to 'babysit' a brat of a kid.
And that's it. Besides coasters, I love Star Wars, LEGOs, and a whole lot more. There's this one crazy ride in the HD (High Desert, between Vegas and LA) called the Sky Screamer that I can't get enough of. Not a coaster, but they put you on this gimbal thing that spins at 55 mph and tumbles you head-over-heels about three times before stopping at the top of the 16-story tower. Nice breaking-in to get used to going upside-down.
I have a tendancy to come up with wacky, crazy ideas, like building a coaster in my backyard (who hasn't?) and making my own aircraft. So you HAVE BEEN WARNED!
Anyway, that's all for now. That should give you a taste of this geek and one of my novel-length posts. C U guys on the boards!
