definitely metal detectors, and an exclusion zone.

She is too hot, and she's wild. Damn I wish I was a southern california resident.

I'm so happy for you, what a lovely little addition to your family. I look forward to meeting Kristen on the midwest trip.

I didn't think they could use both sides LIM's at the exactly the same time, I have heard they use an unbelievable amount of electricity. Wow, someday I might get to ride the batman side - visited last three years and no cigar. Hopefully the dispatches will improve on Kingda Ka this year they were just painful in August when I was there last year, at least I finally got to ride the bloody thing.

That sounds like great news, so many great rides and such poor operations in the past. We'll see if they can back up the talk. Did they say if both sides of chiller would be open at the same time, from what I have heard it would be hard to run both sides simultaneously.

I'm not from the USA but don't people get cornholed in prison?

Here in Aussie, we have a single mother's pension and a $4000.00 baby bonus payable on birth (to encourage more people to have children), lots of dopey teenagers just have a baby to get the cash and the pension - they had to change it so that you can only get the $4000 in instalments if you are under 18. And it seems that the $4000 aint going into juniors college fund either, there has been a surge in plasma television sales.

Just out of curiousity how many spots are left on the midwest tour now that deposit d-day has passed? Barry H wrote: Fun, unless you are the one being made fun of.

I thought St Anger came out very muddy which really buried the songs, and after seeing all the effort and trauma that went into that album on Some Kind of Monster, it was a shame. I bags being their mediator on this album for the $40k a month the dude in the movie was getting.

I think what he is asking is if the three Super Ultimates Flight flyers are clones. I would say yes but are they identical, or are they slightly different to suit each location? Edit: you beat me to that answer.

I really like X, and it would be excellent if this happens. I know some people I was travelling with last year who aren't coaster enthusiasts who were so disappointed when X wasn't running last year. I've been to Magic Mountain 7 times in the last five years since X "opened" and it's only been running two of those days. It deserves the treatment, it is the absolute standout at the mountain as far as I am concerned (puts on flame prooof suit), and I am sure more people would come if it was widely known that X was operating consistently.

I hope it gets more airtime than Millennium Force, which certainly could have used some more bunny hops. Germany just keeps getting better on the coaster front.

I thought this was supposed to be a mega coaster but it looks like a fun little coaster.

No, I was just on an organised tour that stopped in Montreal, we went to Quebec after that. I wasn't planning on going to La Ronde but they dropped us at the river and there it was across the river, it looked good from a distance but the close ups weren't as impressive.

I think it was built a year too late cause I was there in 2005! I was in Montreal for other reasons but when I saw La Ronde across the river and seeing I already had a Six Flags season pass I had to go. Nice spot, the park on the other hand...The ride ops there make the surly, uninterested ops at Magic Mountain look like Disney ride ops of the month award winners.

I am completely uninterested in Harry Potter, haven't read the books or films, at least our version "Harry Pothead" on the radio was funny. I would prefer what they have at the moment with maybe some better attractions in the place of Poseiden and Sinbad. Also the lost continent seems a lot more timeless as a theme than Harry Potter, it will interesting to see if anyone cares about Harry in 10 or 15 years. I'm all for a Jay and Silent Bob land, a little bit of Jersey in Florida.

I've only been on Ninja, and Draggin' Iron, er, I mean Iron Dragon. I woulkd have to say Ninja, I rode it last year front row, and I enjoyed it.

I was going to GL this year for the first time - bummer, and I reckon the straight drop forwards would be more fun than Wicked Twister's twisty one. All these coasters getting taken out looks like Michigan's Adventure is going to take Cedar Point's Record for most coasters in one park.

I definitely agree with the start small and work your way up, I don't like heights but I have never been afraid of coasters. I usually can't wait to get over to the USA and ride the biggest fastest thing I can get to.

It sounds like it has the greatest theming since Disaster Transport, Disney's imagineers must be sh**ting themselves with fear.

I have been on one, Disaster Transport - at least the last time I went they weren't playing that silly Alslaka thing when you go up the lift hill. Shouldn't this be "the Least Worst Bobsled You Have Been On" or are there actually some good ones?

I almost read that wrong, a coaster during childbirth wouldn't be good. I think caring for a young one would make it hard to get to parks, do all parks have parent swap arrangements like Cedar Point does? I think the only way most ACE members could reproduce would be through a donation at the sperm bank or do they have standards?

I'd tell him someone has ridden some coaster in Japan 28,000 times, and is gonna kick his a$$.

I'm just grateful they have metal detectors at parks like Knott's, Mantis man is just plain scary. There were a couple of scary people at Cedar Point who just rode Dragster and Millennium Force over and over again, the ride ops used to say over the loudspeaker "how many times have you ridden today" can't remember the name.

Goliath - reminding Philistines everywhere of a major a$$ wupping they received. Magnum XL-200: do magnums come in XL-200 size? Anaconda: they do some really scary things to donkeys, among other animals. Rita Queen of Speed: I second that one, is she the local dealer? Dominator: does it have an accompanying S & M theme, are rider's refferred to as submissives. Silver Bullet: offensive to werewolves everywhere.
