Hi there, I'm Natalie, and I've actually been a member on here for awhile, just under the name "havenli." But let's face it - it's much too girly of a name for a coaster fan. Anyway, I'm from Athens, TN originally, where Dollywood was my home park for 20 years of my life, but I just moved to Apex, NC last year, and now I'm only 3 hours away from Carowinds, Kings Dominion and BGE. Not a bad trade off, if you ask me. I'm now up to 111 roller coasters, though my CoasterFanatics count says 112, but I don't exactly get how they consider Dudley Do-Right's Ripsaw Falls a coaster. No matter, though, because 111 has a much better look to it than 112. I like my symmetry.

Goll, I haven't been to Lake Winnie in about 9 years, and it still looks the same. You're right though, it's more of a glorified County Fair than anything, but still nice for a day trip. Great TR!

The only missed credit that I actually regret not grabbing is Kraken. It was about 7 years ago - before I cared about credits - and I didn't want to be at a "kid's park" like Seaworld - I wanted to go back to IOA (I was 14 and a brat, I suppose). Now, I WANTED to go on Kraken while we were there, but my dad said, "Nah, there's roller coasters at Universal, let's just go there," and I foolishly agreed. And at the time I didn't even know what a floorless coaster was! Imagine the surprise I would have gotten when I got into the station. Dangit, what a missed experience...and I STILL don't have that credit. But Gemini Jr.? Taxi Jam? Nah, I can live without those if I have to.

Totally last minute, but is that last spot taken?
