Looks like an awesome day. You're lucky to get to go to such a great park so often! Look at me I'm stuck with Burger Kings Island.

Yeah I know. Its just a personal blog/site though - and a place for my photo gallery. Some of my friends tell me it doesn't work in their Internet Explorer - and I tell them to download Firefox.

The PC version of iTunes can convert WMV and WMA into iPod formats I believe - but the Mac version cannot. Still there is software out there you can purchase that will do it. I have the Flip for Mac codec - and it works wonderfully for playing WMV videos. Unfortunately streaming WMV does NOT work on my computer at all. I think it is an issue with Camino. I just close out of tabs when there's streaming video in it. I'm the type that is happy with my computer - and aside from Flip for Mac - refuse to go out of my way to make myself compatible with the PC world. If you look at my website with Internet Explorer - it won't display right. I know about this error - and I care not. I coded it with valid code, designed to display correctly in Mozilla/Netscape/Firefox/Camino. You could also buy the DVDs, to support the site and so you have some cool coaster DVDs to watch - and if you need to - rip the video into iPod format. I do know you can do this with freeware. I need to buy some DVDs - at least the one of the latest UK trip. And there is Quicktime streaming too - but it does make sense to use the WMV streaming. It will save a ton of money.

Wow! Thanks for the TR! Its great to see the best park out there back in the day. It as many trees as it has now - it had even more back then! Kind of weird to see Magnum under construction!

My favorites are Magnum XL 200 - because you look out at the water, and its just a really cool view - and Son of Beast - because you get to see all of Kings Island - and pretty much look straight out and realize the top of the Eiffel Tower isn't that much higher than you.

I was on that Supercoasters show on National Geographic that aired this year.

Say there monstwosidy - do you know the times?

I didn't get the email either - but I have the Mac version - which won't be out till Christmas.

I said most of the ones I have been on. Not just B&Ms - CCIs, Gravity Group, Arrow...

Most of the coasters I have been on do it. Many coasters do the full 180 - where some coasters just do 90 or something.

You got El Toro'd. That ride looks amazing. I hear it is even better than Voyage - from people who have been on both.

I do all my modeling in Wings3d - and it does work for mac.

Thanks anyway but I already have a set of Six Flags Spinners. Ridin Spinnaz - they dont stop...

Yeah that's right. The brake run pieces are very distinct. I have seen some. All in all - probably only 5% of the Patriot was actually kept outside. What I got the label off of - that confirmed the Patriot rumor - was a piece of transfer track supports.

They are painted. Unpainted track is a rusty color - see the Griffon topic. BGEs new coaster will be dark blue track with bluish supports. This one is white track, white supports, and the top of the spine is painted blue. It sort of reminds me of Raptors paint job - but white and blue instead of green and darker green. Edit! Ah I see it now! That tall track is the diver track. Its just at an odd angle. Look at how the track in the foreground is white and the track in the background - the big track is dark blue!

So true. I know that option well.

Kind of like a Righteous Brothers song... Youve lost that airtime feeling! Ooooh that airtime feeling. Youve loat that AIRTIME feeling and its gone gone gone - whoa oh a oh. Bum bum - bum bum - bum bum - bum bum bum bum.

Hey - theres a difference between not knowing and changing your mind every day!

Yup. It happens to everyone. Eventually youll lose it on those it too. You gotta keep traveling to ride new things so you can keep getting the feeling. Its like an addiction!

Wanna see a pic of Busch Gardens new Dive Machine? This was a drive by - and unfortunately I snapped the shot a little too late - but there it is - peeking around the corner of that trailer! It looks "bigger" than regular track (there is regular track on site as well) - so this may be your diver. Why hello there little fella! You can't hide from me!

There for a while I didn't - but I kind of do now. I toned down my PKI going from daily to like once every two weeks. Your body gets used to it and it no longer affects you eventually. There were a couple weeks where I rode Drop Zone alot and IT started loosing the feeling. It was just like going really fast. Even after I had got used to PKIs drop-out feelings - Cedar Point caught me off guard. I felt it all over again on Raptor (took my breath away), Magnum - even Iron Dragon (in the back). Corkscrew in the back was nuts!

Make up your mind boy!

Ok so apparently were getting two new B&M coasters next year. Busch Gardens Europe is getting a blue Dive machine from the looks of that teaser animation. And there is track up there in the back (unpainted) that may be dive machine track. Then SOMEONE else is getting some other kind of B&M. It will be white with the top portion of the spine painted a dark color - probably blue. I'll let the picture speak for itself. This was taken from the road - pointed at an open door with a 300mm telephoto lens.

Instead of switching so much - why don't you just be bi?
