Considering I was planning on retiring early on my rookies of Clemens, Bonds, Sosa......

There was someone on another site that went there back in 2006 I believe. I will follow up with you when I find that.

^^ I was working 40 hours a week when I started working 10 years ago as a busboy in the restaurant of the golf course I used to play at. That was during the summer though. I don't think there are any summer regulations. If I remember correctly, people under 16 can't work more than 8 hours a day and can't work past 10PM on school nights - 12 PM on weekends. ^ I agree with Colin. When I started getting into this I was a poor college kid that had high aspirations when I saw people like larrygator getting to 5 parks in a weekend, or Robb traveling around the world. The first full summer I had as an enthusiast, I hit 4 new parks, and I believe 6 overall with multiple visits to Dorney and Great Adventure, and I had a job that paid more than minimum wage. Plus you have to remember I was about 19 or 20 at the time so I was able to drive myself around. I would say just hit up a couple of parks for now - you have plenty of time to go to the other places in your lifetime. Don't get too disappointed if you aren't able to do everything on your list.

^ Yes

My job is yielding pretty well for me right now. And as long as I don't see a steep drop in sales, I'm saving money for a trip for next year.

It has Star Flyer potential.

Not unless he got a round trip ticket to Lehigh Valley International Airport and either rented a car or catches a bus to Hershey. He could then go back to Allentown that night, hit up Dorney on Saturday, and then fly back Sunday. It would be a little bit more cash, but it would be another day at a park too.

So wait..... do I actually have a reason to visit King's Island next year?

It's Robb Alvey. It is his site. He can do what he wants. Besides, I found it pretty funny. How can you guys say it is a CONFIRMED GCI when there hasn't been any confirmation? It is a speculated GCI. They could be building outhouses for all you know.

We are in a global economy. That is all I have to say.

Ban hats!?!? Ban hats!?!? Maybe the guy wanted to get into the news....

How much would you pay to see Barry get his butt handed to him?

I'll be at your "dump" tonight watching the All Star Game - boo yah Did you stay awake for the whole thing old man? Did the rats chase you out early?

^ So you can see into the future?

13 - 16 million for a coaster is cheap? I would say that is about average to slightly above average for a major coaster from one of the big 2 in the coaster industry.

A credit is a coaster. If you have been on 100 different coasters, you have 100 credits. 76 degrees is the record for a wood coaster. There are coasters out there that have 95 degree drops, past vertical.

There was someone on another site that asked the same questions about Six Flags Great America. There is no public transportation will be be less than about 3 hours each way.

I would argue that it is not. I prefer to call it a modern day dump.

I don't have any pictures because my camera is broken, but, for my birthday: I had a Sprecher Black Bavarian with my Jamaican Barbeque Seitan and Vietnamese Bruschetta. Then I picked up a vegan cheesesteak and washed that down with a Golden Monkey and a Yuegling Light Lager.

We were actually talking about oursoucing the other day at work. "Pretty soon the White House is going to be outsourced. The United States White House of Mexico City"

^ Shea is just a piece. I mean, it has a "place in my heart", but I can't wait until it is gone. I read an interesting Wall Street Journal article this weekend about how new ballparks is a reason why AL teams have flourished in success both economically and on the field over the past couple of decades. I'll have to find it.

I can't wait until Shea gets torn to the ground....

One decent coaster? I'm pretty sure it is just a collection of crap. I absolutely loved the park itself though.

^ Are you running for political office?

Technically, it would be a Florida oligopoly
