How many hours of sleep did you get last night?

About 7 I think. -
^^Hey she spared you some cash outlay on Valentine's day.

Yes, they deserve whatever people are prepared to pay them. Will T-express rule the coaster world?

The Mist - surprisingly good, and an interesting insight into how fear and hysteria can affect people, brutal ending.

I liked Mt O, I thought it was fun. I have to agree that the ride ops there totally sucked, they were surly, nasty, and disinterested. The people in the shops were much friendlier, though I guess they had motivation to be friendly. Hades and Cyclops were the only coasters that made an impression. The go-karts were fun but not mind blowing. My one night ride on Hades in the back was awesome, though the morning rides the next day were very average. Avalanche was a bit rough, I found the best rides for me were in the front row. Riverview was blah, but it had some OK karting and they let you ride for so long that people got bored and pulled in before the last lap call. -
T2 at SFKK was real bad, The Beast back row late morning after the second lift hill was so rough I feared for my life. Ghostrider last august was awful I was glad for the ride to finish - on previous visits it's been good, though those visits were just after it's annual rehab in Sept.

I enjoyed Maverick, I see I wasn't alone according to the poll. I have to agree Eagle's Fortress does look rather good, and who can argue with all those experienced and well travelled riders who rate it. I agree Millennium Force is a bit overrated, still better than most but the layout could of had more to it.

I thought backwards was heaps less punishing than forwards, so now it's double the pain. Look on the bright side the backwards one in forwards mode should constitute a new credit under the Jeff Johnson system. -
That sounds awful like an adult relationship.

Not enough, like most nights, damn this having to work for a living. -
Yes Have you drank absinthe?

On the other coasters, I thought front row was awesome for Dragster, Millennium Force and Raptor. Maverick back row is great down the first drop. Gemini Jr - I'd take any row, I don't have that credit in 4 visits.

These girls flashed their boobies for the on-ride camera on Son of Beast last year. -

Cornball Express has more airtime than the entire state of California, the was a wonderful little coaster. -
Probably, but I've never noticed. Are you close to your extended family?

That sounds logical, that helix packs quite a punch shame I'm not really a big helix fan, not exactly an airtime machine that Goliath. -

IB, what a magical little place, proves you don't have to be high tech to have a lot of fun. Would so love to go back, hopefully the new owners won't rob this unique place of it's soul. We had a huge indoor amusement arcade called Funland down the south coast at Ulla Dulla which had flats as well, it was the kind of place where you could go there 10 years later and it wouldn't have changed, it had all the old school stuff. Then it got sold a couple of years ago and a chain operator came in and destroyed the place, please don't do this to IB. -
^Wes and his gangsta crew would get beat up by Kidtums let alone adults. Matchbox 21 would be best advised to go buy an island and count their dollars, please no more music. Celine Dion, why won't she disappear?

^Seriously, I'm sorry to hear that.

^^You'll always be Matt Damon in our memories, better to be fat ass than candy ass though. Ah, Beech Bend, I think that mystery meat was fried squirrel. Those night rides on the Rumbler - priceless. I'm still amazed at some of the out of the way places we went to, I always like wow I'm really at... I wish I could do the same trip all again, except maybe the people dying back home halfway through the trip bit.
