Kings Island -This park reminded me of a bigger version of SFGadv. -I have heard some bad things about this park but was excited anyway! -SOB reopened on the 4th of july so I ass-u-med that it would be open when I went! I was wrong!! Drop Zone was also closed! -We got their before the ropes dropped and waited near Sob section of the park becuase we did the sling shot first since it was only $5 for I think the first 20 minutes that the park is open. -Let me just say that The Beast was Insane!! It has to be my favorite coaster to ride at night! The pure speed going into the woods is just amazing! and that helix is intense. My number 2 wooden coaster. -I didn't like Vortex it was really rough, I feel gasm is better than it. -Racer backwards side was really fun, I have never been on a wooden coaster that went bacwards or any coaster for that matter (besides boomerangs) racer (bacwards side only) currently stands at my number 8 wooden coaster. -Flight of Fear (clone of Jokers Jinx) was 10x better although FOF has a MCBR that completely stops the ride which is really annoying. -Italian job was really fun and a cool family coaster with awesome effects and the trains are AWESOME with the doors that open up. Look how crappy SOB Lift Hill supports look. No Cocks!!

I thought Thunder Run was good and out of the 27 wooden coaster I have ridden (which isn't alot) it's my number 10. (Also I said that T2 was ONE of the smoother ones out there not THE smoolest) Voayge beat the crap out of me and I did not enjoy it. It's cool that you liked, but IMO it sucks.

Holiday World. -I was EXTREAMLY excited for this park beyond beleif!! Well let me just say it was a HUGE let down. -There is just nothing to this park although I must say Raven was a great woodie and my number 7 wooden coaster. -The legend was good but just didnt do anything for me. -And the best i mean WORST for last. Seriously how can people think this is better than El toro. 24 seconds of airtime, WHERE?!? I was probably in to much pain to realize it, although I must say that this is a different ride at night much smoother (still very rough but smoother compared to the day) -Gobbler Getaway is a cool ride but the fricken guns don't work!! -I think the best thing about this park was the FREE soda! and they just didnt have the minimum pepsi, diet, water, they had a ton of different things. -This park really didn't live up to what everyone always say about it. (and yes I am a credit whore and got on the Howler coaster) LOVEEEEE Before the thunderstorm which shut down the park for 2 hours.

Six Flags Kentucky Kingdom -I actually really liked this park. I had heard that it was just like SFA another dirty SF park but I didn't think it was bad at all. -There was absolutely NOONE at the park that day. -I finally got to experience a Schwarzkopf shuttle coaster! and I have to say it was really fun, the launch was eh but what do you expect after riding TTD/KK. I have an POV which was allowed by the park which i will post at the end. -Thunder Run I thought was a really good and is #10 on my top ten wooden coasters. -Chang was smooth but it put to much preassure on my legs as did mantis but RR is the best Stand up! -T2 is one of the smoother SLC out their but it needs a new paintjob, you can see the old red paintjob -On Twisted Twins Lola was the only side running Stella was being retracked.

Beech bend -It was one of the best small parks I have been to. Its like a permanant fair. -Kentucky Rumbler is an awesome wooden coaster! I like this better than thunderhead, in fact KR is my number three wooden coaster. -Their crazy mouse is so insane and there was ejector! on the last small hop at the end of the ride, I flew out of my seat and my camera almost went flying. -Their Pinfari was smoother then I thought it would be and actually really fun to ride! - THE BEST part of the whole park has to be the petting zoo! It totally owned anything there!! When I was there the goats were in heat and I have a video of them humping, its only 12 seconds becuase they would hump eachother for seconds at a time and when they actually went at it my camera died.

DOLLYWOOD Notes- -Really good park. -Clean, Friendly workers. -Mystery Mine was awesome!!! The themeing was outstanding and the ride was smooth fast and enjoyable. -Tennessee Tornado was another smooth arrow, but definitly to short. -Food is really cheap and really good, especially there fried chicken. -Thunderhead is a good wooden coaster near the top of my list but I prefer Kentucky Rumbler over it. The fly by station is annoying while waiting online. -Blazing Fury was a cool mini ride that had two suprising drops in it. -The gift shop is basically DOLLY PARTON's face every where and is kinda scary. Pictures LOOSE or CUMBERSOME items hehehe

BUSCH GARDENS! -Notes -MY NEW FAVORITE PARK-Clean , Friendly, they care alot about cutomer satisfaction. -All rides were open with max amount of trains and fast dispatches. -Griffon is awesome! The best seat are the very outisde seats of the first row. The MCBR totally kills the ride though. And this ride is SICK at night. -Lochness Monster is the smoothest Arrow I have ever been on, it was really fun and a nice long coaster. The loops were awesome! -Apollos chariot is good only in the front of the train and compared to Nitro It loses without a doubt. Although there was one part that was Insanely fun that feel like you are being thrown from the ride and its right where the picture is! -Alpengiest is THE BEST inverted coaster I have been on. The ride is fast, smooth, and the snow ice caps really add a nice touch on the sceneary. -Pompeii is the best chute the chutes ride I have ever been on. The themeing went off to early though. -Curse Of Darkcastle was ehh. Nothing like Spiderman, but the themeing was really well done (just like the whole park) -Big Bad Wolf was really good! The best Swinging Inverted Coaster I have been on. I love how it swoops around trees and the last drop over the water is the best, very intense even with breaks. -The shows are also a good way to cool off in the heat. They are really well done nothing like Six Flags and I still have one of the songs stuck in my head!!!! -The food and the food areas were nothing like I have ever seen. It actually felt like I was eating in Italy with the fountains and open air food section! and I love how you can get your food from a buffet line and then pay after. HAHAHA try me on for size Keep HEAD erect

I will post notes about each park and get right to pictures. So I went on a teen tour this summer and we went to 8 different parks in 7 states over two weeks. Our first Stop was Six Flags America. Notes- -They dont like giving courtesy cups of water in over 98* weather. -Everything was one train operation but they didnt need more than one. -Superman was really good (even though its supposed to be the worst out of the three) Superman at SFNE is much better though. -Mind Eraser is the worst coaster ever! -Wild one and Roar are really good wooden coasters. The first time I rode roar was so much better than the second time even though I was in the same row, seat, and train both times. But still they are really great wooden coasters. -Two face was really smooth and I love how the seats are on this coaster. Its hillarious watching the other persons face opposite you. -Batwing OWNS superman ultimate flight. -Jokers Jinx was the worst LIM coaster I have ever been on, the launch is EXTREAMLY weak and it was rough going through the course. -An of course Great Chase was the BEST coaster there! Pictures from SFA (Sorry for the lack of coaster pics but me and my friend split it each day one would take coaster pics and one would take people pics) CLOSED!!! =[ OPEN!!! =] Starburst!!

Since I am going to be a senior this year that means I get a senior trip to Hawaii! But instead I am looking into Europe with TPR!! I will be talking to me parents about it and hopefully get a check out ASAP.

I don't know if this was mentioned becuase I got up to page 3 and was to lazy to read the rest, but Nitro at Great Adventure has the best locker system I have ever seen. As you board the train they have lockers on both sides of the exit gate and three different colors yellow, blue, purple. The lockers that your supposed to put your stuff in light green and then when your train is locked and sent off the lockers lock so the next train cannot open your locker and steal your stuff. And the best part is THERE FREE! The only ride that you need to buy a locker for is Kingda Ka, everything else has cubbys or you can just leave it there. Superman Ride Of Steel at SFA also has the same policy as Goliath at SFOG. When I went they made you leave it with someone or get a locker even though it was one train operation and absolutely no one on line. Firehawk at Kings Island also made you get a locker but they were only 75cents. And the only ride that made you take a bag on with you was Flight Of fear. Busch Gardens also does not let you take a bag on Griffon or Alpengeist, you must get a locker but for Griffon you kind of have to because the station is really small and not enough room for bags and people to exit.

I like my middle name cuz it flows with my first name, Matthew Robert.

Thank you, this helps alot.

I dyed my hair today, black all around and red/purple on the hawk.

I have some questions.. What time did you get there? What day of the week did you go? Wait times on all coaster? Wait times on flats? Did you go one day or two? -Im only going for one day and I want to know if I will get on everything. -Thanks! and NICE PICS!!

Out of.. Batman the Chiller Robin the Chiller California Screamin' Revenge of the Mummy Revenge of the Mummy Rock n’ Roller Coaster Speed Wicked Twister I would have to say.. Strongest- Speed Most Comfortable (LAUNCH ONLY)- Batman Chiller Best out of all- Speed

MINI TR... SPORTS PLUS- RCDB Anyway my friend meaghan called me and was like hey you wanna go (spur of the moment) so I was like YEA becuase there was a credit there with my name on it! So we get in the car at 7:45 and after an hour we get there at around 8:45. SO we have to wait till 9 to get the unlimited wristbands and 30 tokens for $12 until closing which was 11 not bad at all, BUT THEY CLOSED AT 10!?! even though the website said 11 and the sign at the place said 11, whatever there is NOONE there its wierdd actually. (and this is a saturday night) Anway..It USED to be an awesome place heres what changed... The lady at the counter said we didnt get 30 free token even though we showed her the sign that was hanging above her head that said wristband AND 30 free tokens. So then we I got the manager she threw the tokens at us (not exageratting). Then the bumper car ride op was NO WHERE to be found, why? Maybe they were playing the arcade games! And when I was like I wanna go on the ride (not rude) he totally ignored me so what is left to do but YELL so i was like HEY open the ride! And of course he immediatly had an attitude, becuase how dare I interupt his racing game. Bumper cars- REALLY GOOD! close second behind coney island's. The only bad thing is they had to many cars then they needed that could have been some more room but w/e. 9/10 Then We Get to the roller coaster and the guy was high and a complete moron, and as we were leaving my friend couldnt open the exit gate and he called her an idiot!! Thriller Coaster- Suprisingly fun, it went around twice each time. And this coaster only makes left hand turns! never goes right, lol. The themeing was freaky they had men with boobs painted on the wall, then hearts painted on the wall, then like a graveyard scene on the floor, i dunno what they were going for. Thriller Coaster (for a kiddie) 7/10, regular 4/10 Tornado- This is an awesome flat ride, even if you dont turn the seats its nice to sit and relax on. 10/10 TORNADO (FLAT JOINT) CLICK -Oh and the ride op for this ride was the best in the place, friendly, said have a good night and WAS ACTUALLY AT THE RIDE!. Then when we got our prizes of course noone was there to help us for um 15 minutes!!!. So after an hour we left and went to get ice cream at friendlys!!! yay. it was a fun spontanious (sp) trip! PICTURES Meaghan is awesome at Basketball I don't think she missed one. IM GUNNA WIN!! NOOOOOO !@#!$#!%@$^$ I DIDNT WIN BUMPER CARS!! OUCE CREAM! YUMMMM Anway the place is now closed for good...

I have a home video of me when I was like 4/5 from dorney and I went on the little laser. So as of now thats my first roller coaster, but I still think there might have been something at seaside heights in NJ.

Sorry to tell you but now robin will be down for a while.

I still find it hard to believe that the coaster isnt worse with a slower lift...its physics. Not really. Just becuase the lift is slower does now make the coaster worse. This thing still HAULS ASS! Trust me I was there the first day it slowed down and had NO EFFECT on the ride. Some babies may say "nice job six flags" but they need to grow up.

Im a picture whore Here are some pictures from when I went to great adventure on 5-20... EL TORO IS CLOSED Coaster Humper GIANT PICKLE MmMmM ROASTED NUTS hehe Come and get it!!!! Carasel Rules!

Gravitrons are SICK! They have to be my favorite carnival ride ever. Much better than Round ups.

Ok well I still haven't fisnished TTD. These people put in my AC and they completely trashed the break run so that has to be redone, and the carboard smashed a little so yeahh im pissed and on top of that I started a nitro model and had the whole lift/drop done and they COMPLETELY trashed that one to so I had to put it all back together. Anyway this is how it DID look and will look like again....
