Thee speed slide with the trap door at Wet and Wild Orlando made me a little nervous.

Ever since I went on Superman Ride Of Steel (SFNE) and El Toro, neither park has as much attraction to me. Though I personally think Cedar Point owns SFMM as a destination and also CP has better coasters in the types of coasters I really like, SFMM has more variety and the best in coaster types I don't care for like Flyers and Stand Ups, here's my breakdown: I like Maverick better than any coaster at either park. I consider X the only coaster that makes me want to go out of my way to get to SFMM. Hyper : MF and Magnum far better than Goliath Inverted: Raptor better than Batman - but they are both really good Stand Up: Riddler's far better than Mantis but I don't care for stand ups. Suspended: Ninja better than Iron Dragon - hangers are only OK though. Wood: I enjoyed Blue Streak more than Collossus but Mean Streak is beneath both. Launched: Dragster by a mile over Superman. I'm getting bored of this, CP any day but if Magic Mountain got an Intamin pre-fab woodie and/or a decet hyper then that might change purely in terms of coaster line up comparisons.

^Ah, I remember riding the Zipper for the first time at Luna Park Sydney, I was barely tall enough (though I cheated a little) to reach the clown's arm that marked the height restriction and it was several minutes of hell. It was like being in a front loading washing machine with my hands tied behind my back - I got pounded. I went on one for the first time since then last year, still pretty intense.

How about Disney's South Central LA Adventure with Cripps land and the World of Bloods. It will sound like they have fireworks going all day.

At least they didn't photoshop him into visiting the Neverland Ranch.

I heard it was a great way to get hot girls, and enthusiast events were chockfull of undiscerning playboy bunny types.

Only 4 months til the TPR craziness happens all over again for me. Another well observed trip report. One of my regrets was not riding Beast on a non-wheel seat, I hear it's much better, and those night rides flying through the forest were surreal. Back row Beast in the morning after the second lift just about shattered my spine. Agree Son Of Beast did bugger all, definitely not a top thrill. On the whole I thought Kings Island had a very ordinary coaster collection, maybe that will improve in 2009 if the rumours are true. Again, thanks for the trip reports Jahan.

I loved that Juno wasn't obvious, & very few movies have real heart these days. What's next, Juno's Final Destination, or maybe Juno v Jason - I think a feisty girl like Juno could that hockey masked freak to bed once and for all. I personally think Suspiria owns The Wizard Of Gore...

today When was the last time a movie actually inspired you?

Can I Have A Kiss - Kelly Clarkson

All pro football coaches are whores!

yes, but the thrill dissipates very quickly Did you laugh when Fabio got a goose in the face on Apollo's Chariot?

Wow, that looks freaky. That would be fun to check out.

^Taking on the grim reaper, very brave, I've got my money on you. I've got the East Coast Trip and add on, over 100 new credits for me starting rather spectacularly with Sesame Place in Philly.

No Have you ever been to a world championship?

Adore - Smashing Pumpkins

No Do you know how to rollerskate?

March 27 (currently last night) the Smashing Pumpkins, front and centre & at a smaller (capaicity 3000) venue. Only Billy & Jimmy were from the original line up, they had a chick on bass called Ginger who was pretty hot, though the bass was bigger than her and an Asian guy called Jeff on rythym guitar. It's funny how he replaced original members with people who resemble them. The set went for 2 1/4 hours and was a bit uneven but included most of the classics - Cherub Rock, Today, Mayonnaise, Tonight, 1979, Adore, Stand Inside You Love, Everlasting Gaze etc. They kept alternating between rock and soft, though they played well. Billy was in a fun mood and joked around at times, when he came on for the encore everyone kept screaming for "Silverf***", he said to a girl behind us "I won't play Silverf***, even if you get your tits out". He was very gracious and didn't whine at all when he spoke to the audience.

^Seriously, I don't bother with any girl who's taken as a matter of principle because I am from the plenty of fish in the sea school of thought, always plenty of single ones to get friendly with. In this case she should break up first, or forget about it.

I'm seeing Smashing Pumpkins tonight, woo hoo!

^Wes, that wonderful relationship counsellor. I'd say grow some balls or join ACE and learn to anser to the name Ben Dover.

yes, everyday to work. have you ever picked up on public transport?

One By One - Alter Bridge

It conjures images of that Robin Williams film, what was it, One Hour Photo?? Where he processes people's films but makes a copy for himself and stalks and kills them - not very nice at all. If it had been the two chicks who flahsed their boobies on my train on Son of Beast, maybe, but otherwise - a bit scary.

This is funny, 2 girls flashed their tits on Son Of Beast for the on-ride photo. I saw it when I was checking out my on-ride - ha, ha I should have brought that one.
