Was the Beast ever good, hard to belive after last uyears rides for me, which were the first time. "Beast love" makes it sound like an inter species erotica thread.

^ I rate Chiller too, I have only been on the Robin side with lap bars, I like the way it was so out of control. Shame I never got to do the Batman side.

Restricting it to purely LIM's as per the topic I would have to say Chiller is the most intense launch I have been on, none of the other LIM's I have been on have been that intense - Superman the Escape, Tower of Terror, V2, Wicked Twister, and Flight of Fear. If I was including LSM's, then the second launch on Maverick would get my vote. Out of anything launched Dragster (over KK), though I haven't been Dodonpa.

^What does do it for you Robb, just out of curiosity?

Overcast and rainy

I'm sick of my football team losing because they play stupid.

Blue Monday - New Order

No, I don't go to school Do you like Metallica?

Farenheit looks awesome, so looking forward to getting back to Hershey - I can smell that chocolate.

First we had the Tunnel of Love and now we have the Tunnel of Pain, I'd do it though, probably just once and I wouldn't assume I would be surviving the experience.

^You beat me to it, Weird Al pretty much sums it all up. When you consider how many torture machines there are at CW - Vekoma, Togo, Might Canadian Asspounder and so on, and then consder the huge attendance the park gets...

^Prepare to be amazed Captain Arrow! That incredible airtime on ET does wonders for stretching out my spine.

^^Hey Ryan, sounds like White Castle sentenced you to the gas chamber, did they deploy the oxygen masks?

Nice work, SFGAdv is looking good for this season. I didn't think much of Houdini so I'm not too sad about that.

^In Kentucky, earlier in the trip, it wasn't a few hours later...

^Wonderland, when your marquee ride is a 1st gen Vekoma Boomerang then you are not likely to have a park that will loan itself to repeated visits. Now I might have reason to go to Melbourne other than for work. We might even see our first B & M in oz...

Glad I didn't hang with you guys after the trip, the one visit to White Castle early in the trip was a once in a lifetime to me, once was too many times. We went to Wal-mart and then a resturaunt that serves real food the day after the midwest trip.

I wanna ride it, send it to Luna Park Sydney, our fine city of over 4 million deserves to have more than 1 coaster (and it's only a creaky wild mouse, geez).

Maybe I'll have to do a lame and crap midwest trip report, to make people appreciate your reports even more. The Vekoma and Arrow bus were like different planets, I know we had a lot of fun at the front of the arrow bus but no boob credits. Though I think TRP was stinking out the back of the bus.

Magnum is such a classic, I can only imagine what people thought of it when it first opened in 1989. I just saw it on coaster specials down here in Australia and never dreamed I'd ever get to a place called Sandusky Ohio...

^You guys were at Disney the same day I was (Robb told me), the Tuesday after the midwest trip if I remember correctly, I was so tired from the midwest trip, and I was pretty not amused all day. Matterhorn is a fun and a ride with a bit of adventure to it, and it's so old but so good.

I love that song, it's been the theme song for commercials for one of our major car manufcturers since about 2004, and everytime I get nostalgic for Cedar Point.

Rough and boring, no air time or thrills whatsoever. The trim brake on the drop certainly takes away the potential for thrills, I have heard that it was necessary so the ride didn't shake itself apart. A badly designed, ill conceived wood coaster like son of beast. Maybe adding some steel supports might give it enough support to take the trims off but it's probably not worth the expenditure. An impressive looking coaster though. Biggest problem, they haven't relocated it to the bottom of Lake Erie or Michigan's Adventure.

No but I'd like to go there. Have you been on a new coaster this year yet?
