So my 2008 coaster season is over. It was by far the best season ever. Here are the reasons why 2008 was so AMAZING for me! 1. Rode my top 5 Steel Coasters. 2. Went to Cedar Point. 3. Got 200 credits. 4. More than doubled my 2007 season coaster runs. 5. Went on TPR's Behemoth/Ravine Flyer II & East Coast Trip which was the highlight of the year! It is sad that such a fun year end but with a lot to look forward to in 2009 it isn't that bad. Here is a B-Roll video I made of my 2008 Roller Coaster Season.

That will be awesome if Speed came to Clementon. Oh & Hellcat is still called Hellcat This is my 300th post

After the show he did a signing! Thanks Adam! I'm in the off-season now so no more TRs for awhile but I'm already planning my first trip of 2009. It will probably be BGE (or whatever its called since it was bought) in March. The countdown begins 4 months to go! So your definitely on West Coast!? Thanks. I actually bought the ticket for Minor Mike before I got denied which made me mad I should have taken pictures of Speed before it gets torn down, oh well. I am pretty bummed that I missed High Roller but Big Shot was incredible. Manhattan Express is still crappy

Thanks Brent! Yeah X-Scream was down all week but I still loved Stratosphere. I was too tall for Minor Mike

It is November which means my 2008 roller coaster season is coming to a close. This year the coasters of Las Vegas will bring my season to an end. 4 hr & 45 min flight to Sin City. First stop in Vegas. Margarittaville for some lunch. My Dad & I enjoying our meals. After lunch we went to our hotel Planet Hollywood were I slept for 16 hrs! My hotel room was AMAZING! The next day after my beauty sleep I headed over to New York New York to ride my first credit in the West the Manhattan Express! Yayy 216th credit Ouch painful loop. I loved the dive loop! Some pics of the strip on my way to Stratosphere. Thats a big coke Paris. Time to ride the monorail to the south part of the strip. It is time for Stratosphere! I've waited so long to come here I can't believe that there are thrill rides way up there! A view of the mountains from the tower's top! A view of Sin City. Me on Stratosphere! Big Shot was AMAZING It was the only ride working today. That night we saw a magic show called Penn & Teller. It was a really good show. After the show we went to downtown Vegas for dinner. Wednesday we went golfing. I gave up after the 5th hole That night we saw Blue Man Group. That was my favorite show. Thursday we did a lot. First stop of the day Hoover Dam! Hoover Dam! 2nd stop of the day Buffalo Bills to ride Desperado! This hyper was awesome! It had airtime Not to mention a couple of tunnels! My 217th credit was worth the $8! The final stop of the day was back to Stratosphere! You should have heard my Dad scream on Big Shot Insanity was open & it rocked! X Scream was still closed Friday was a sad day because it was the last day of my 2008 Roller Coaster Season Canyon Blaster was my favorite coaster of the trip! You black out in the back seat going over the loops! I tried to be a credit whore but got denied I ended my 2008 roller coaster season in the front seat of my new favorite Arrow Corkscrew. This was my 632nd run of 08! A record that will be hard to break next year! I had so much fun in Las Vegas that I am already trying to convince my parents to let me do the 3 day add on after West Coast which I can't wait for! 2008 was the best roller coaster season I've ever had & 2009 looks even better! Is it March yet Week Conclusion: Manhattan Express=1 Big Shot=2 Desperado=2 Insanity=1 Canyon Blaster=2 2008 Roller Coaster Season Conclusion: Different Roller Coasters Ridden=158 Roller Coaster Runs=632 Amusement Parks Visited=37 Days spent at an Amusement Park=58 Watch the VIDEO!!!!!

I was at GADV this year waiting for Rolling Thunder & 6 kids thought they could pass us to get to their friend. My friend Max put his leg in front of them blocking their path but the person they were trying to reach came up to us and made my friend let them pass. There were no ride opps near us to prevent the line jumping. I HATE the GP!

The Canyon Blaster at Adventuredome in Las Vegas was officially my last ride of 2008. It was my 632 coaster run. Until March I'm stuck in the off-season. 2008 was the best coaster year ever & thanks to TPR's Behemoth/Ravine Flyer II Trip & East Coast trip I got over 200 credits, got to 600+ coaster runs (I count how many times I ride roller coasters each year. 632 runs means in general I rode a roller coaster that many times in 2008!) & had the best time of my life meeting great people who enjoy my hobby. Is is March yet

Manhattan Express Tuesday November 4.

Good thing I went to Hard Rock this year & got the credits. It really wasn't a good park. I was expecting more.

Thanks guys. I don't no what people thought about it because I was out all night but its mostly kids in my neighborhood so I don't no.

I hope everyone had a Happy Halloween. So what do you think of my TPR pumpkin?

Manta looks fun. I don't no if my class is going there during my Senior Trip to Orlando in June but I hope that is better than Superman: Ultimate Flight.

I HATE the off season. I have nothing to do & with GADV being my home park the waiting to ride El Toro & Kingda Ka during the November-March period is a nightmare. I'm addicted Roller Coasters & nothing else really interests me. During the off season I attempt to play video games, pinball & I sleep most of the time. I forgot to mention I hate cold weather. On Sundays I watch the EAGLES but thats about all I do in the off season. I'm in winter drumline but I'm getting a job to make some money for next season & the West Coast trip so I'll probably not do drumline because of all the time it takes up. Off Season for me=

Nice TR Sam. Do you miss DK being your home park?

I already signed up for West Coast I can't wait to see old faces again from the Behemoth/Ravine Flyer II & East Coast trip. Also every credit is going to be new

That looks like a lot of fun. I can't wait to ride it next year during the West Coast Tour

Yea that looks like the "Spider of Doom" My pic was just a Fright Fest attraction.

I'm wondering what all the new transformation will entail. It said the Greek Mythology theme is leaving, so new name as well? This could essentially be a brand new coaster to the GP (if they fail to see the X-->X2 change...) I'm glad my trip up there in September fell through! Can't wait for next year! At least the "Spider of Doom" was a good thing this year. When they put it on Chiller last year it ment goodbye. Old post but that is not the Spider of Doom... that was a old trails entrance and put at Chiller for Fright Fest 2006... THAT is the Spider of Doom. I thought that was the "Spider of Doom" because it was on Chiller before the Zero-Gs got replaced. Hey its still a Spider on Chiller

Does anyone no when are they going to announce Medusa's new theme?
