That is the only reason we let him hang out with us! So your saying your visit at my house was not very memorable? Craig

Damn you Lou with my chins!!!!!! Cameron spilling that water cracks me up just thinking about it. Glad you stopped by. I only wish I could have hit Indiana Beach with you guys that day but at least I was able to meet you at SFGAm. Craig

Lou you have been to more places in the city then I have and I only live 30 miles south of Chicago! You do not look like a wet mop! And just curious, what do you have with you boobs? Is Cameron just trying to help you out? And thanks for the comments on my kids. I try my best! Craig

Once you buy and have your pass from any park you don't need to live in the mile radius anymore (till your photo is no good anymore). You can live in Florida and renew you SFDK pass online. You just can't buy one online if your not in the mile radius. Craig

Leap the Dips

I did a east coast trip in 2006 with the family. 24 parks in 10 days in 5 states. Also did some site seeing with the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island. Craig

That sounds like fun. I must go to that next year too. Book your hotel way early. I wound up paying almost twice as much for the same room because we booked last minute. The campground is the way to go! Craig

Girl takes her first steps! http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/22116539/wid/11915773?gt1=10710 Good to here. Craig

When I was there on Oct 25, they said it will be shut down in January for 2 to 3 weeks and getting work done on the bottom of the drop and bay turn. They said it should speed up the ride by 15 seconds. Craig

The Peach Tea is fantastic.^ I cut out pop a couple years ago ( only drank water, milk and OJ) and lost 15 pounds that summer. I was a two liter a day pop drinker! NOw back to a couple cans a day which is too much. Craig

Rattler at SFFT on Saturday the 27th! Craig

Hey Craig, While you were in OC for Jolly Roger, did you also hit up Trimper's for the Tidal Wave? Though it's within walking distance of the pier, it's not part of the Jolly Roger franchise (Trimper's has been there about 80 years longer--and narrowly escaped demolition for condos this year). If so, add another one to the list! Yes

I'm not a fan of either one. I rode Dodonpa in Sept of 2005 and was kicked upside the head three time over the hill. Now I LOVED the launch and think this is the best launch out there. Just rode Hypersonic this past summer and hated it. It felt like I was kicked in the back by a donkey and the rest of the ride just rattled your brains out. I was pissed I waited 90 mins for it. Craig

Ninja at SFStL has a good one as you go under the lift hill chain!

Speaking of pinball Cameron. I took these photos for you while at Lakemont. Have you ever seen or heard of this one? This thing was so large it used a pool ball. Craig

^^ Thanks, I thought I would try a different approach on a TR and almost. ^ I believe if you have a kid then you can ride the Kiddie Coaster anytime. We did the ACE event (Ridefest) and they let anyone ride with a kid or not! Craig

Well mom and dad loaded up the car and took us kids on a long drive from Chicago area to Pittsburgh. After 6 1/2 grueling hours sitting in the truck we finally made it to their friends house. I played pinball, skeeball and pool at their house, we need to live closer to them! So after the fun there was done we headed to Kennywood for PHANTOM FRIGHT NIGHTS! Well with all the loud noises and scary people walking around I must say I did better then Beth. I didn't get scared! Every now and then all my parents friends would go ride some coasters as I had to sit off and watch. So as some were riding the Jack Rabbit my dad took me on a really good ride in the Kangeroo! This ride was a lot of fun and I made everyone go ride with me after they got off the Jack Rabbit. I come to find out that I could have ridden the Jack Rabbit but some of the adult were not thinking about me! Oh well there is always next year. So after a good nights sleep we all headed out to Knoebels for my first PPP. We got there a little to late for the early ride session so my dad just bought some ticket so I could ride the kiddie rides. Again this is a day that I didn't get to ride a coaster as I am not tall enough for their kiddie coaster. My dad did take me on the bumper cars and Frank was real mean hitting us so hard it scared me and made me cry. But I toughed it out and kept ridding and ended up laughing as we hit people. It was a fun ride. My dad also introduced me to some ride they call the Flyers. My dad got the tub to bounce really good and this also scared me and I let him know. I did get used to it and ended up laughing about it but was still nervous. I had fun at Knoebels. So the next day they woke me up and we headed for another park called Lakemont Park. I was told I get to ride the on Leap-the-Dips which is the oldest operating coaster. Cool!!!!!! I rode in front with my brother and sister and really liked it and wanted to ride again right away. So after this my dad , Gage and Caitlyn went to ride Skyliner as I sat and played in the playground. Well a few minutes later they came running and yelling for me to come over by the coaster. Turns out I get to ride! Can you see me in there? After three more rides on Skyliner it was time for lunch. I started getting tired and fell asleep at the table. What can I say it has been a long weekend so far! So after I woke up and ate lunch we got to ride their kiddie coaster. It was alot of fun and I made my sister and brother ride with me a couple times. Sadly I didn't get to see the greyhound chase the coaster as I heard there is one there that does that. For some reason my dad was not to excited to get me my next credit. I have never seen one of these before and what a weird contraption it was but it looks like fun! This was me after riding. Help! Get me out of this coffin on wheels. WTF was that! Well it was an exhausting weekend and we had a looooong ride back to the Chicago area so we headed out. Turns out I thought we were going straight home but my dad had other plans. Fun Fore All just outside Pittsburgh has a coaster. Whoo Hoo another credit! Dad can we go home now? It was nice weekend weather wise and Leap-the-Dips was my 20th coaster! Casey

How much are the haunted houses this year? Craig

Fiesta Express at Fun For All! <<

Well from what I read on their web page, it sounds like they only have one haunted attraction ( house/walk through) which is one more then they had last year. Sounds more kid friendly to me which is what it was last year! Craig

Kombo at the Indy Zoo this afternoon! Craig--such a whore!

^^ Well I do, but that is part of our adventure that the kids and I do. It makes for some fun trips, trying to get all the coasters we can! Craig--doesn't think it is a waste of money if your having fun!
