You know I was just there back in June and I honestly like Jolly Roger, not thats its a good park or anything, but it is the best one at Ocean City and has the best coaster at Ocean City in my opinion, the Wildcat.

OK so I'm going to be in the Bay Area for the very first time from July 14th to July 18th. I think I am only gonna have time to hit one of these parks but haven't been able to decide which is the better park to go to. They are even in coaster count, Six flags seems to have the better coasters, but CGA seems to have a more overall better ride count with an added waterpark, so help me out which is better?

Wow, I had no idea that you could ride in your bathing suit. I'll def gonna be doin that then when I go to Holiday World on Monday.

Well I've driven past that place a few times when I was goin from Fort Sill and your pretty far from six flags or silver dollar city since either is about 2-3 hours away. So if you can find a taxi that will drive you that far good luck, but you'd probably have to rent a car in order to visit either.

Hey Good TR, I'm heading to SFGrAm on the 10th. I'm wondering is the Flass Pass worth getting if your just tryin to hit the coasters and leaving as soon as you can (gotta try and get back to Pittsburgh soon after our visit). Also how does it work cause I've never bothered to shell out the money for the flash pass?

Hey do you need a passport to drive into Canada or can you get buy with a birth certificate and driver's liscense?

The Flying Super Saturator at Carowinds

This is really sad, I really wish I was around to actually and view the park for myself. I'm kinda surprised that villain and double loop is going to be sold for scrap, I thought for sure they would have saved villain being a pretty good wood coaster. Now where is the Beaver Land Mine Train, did it get sold, moved, what happened to it?

Dam if only I was in PA to watch this, I miss PA like crazy. I can't wait to be back next month, hopefully these programs will air again next month.

This past Memorial Day weekend I had a chance to make a trip out to the Carolinas for the weekend. My buddy had family there so we went out there from Oklahoma (which was a 16 hour drive) and finally on sunday we made our way down to Charlotte. We spent the night along with his g/f and her friend at the Motel 6 across the street from the park. So on the next day we got to the park right when it opened up and went straight for Nighthawk. Nighthawk 8/10 Nighthawk is now my 2nd fav flying coaster, and first fav vekoma version, I like the corkscrews alot better than the inline twists. We only waited 30 min and even though I wish it still had the star trek theming, still a very solid ride and much better than X-Flight. Afterburn 9/10 This was our next coaster and man this thing surprised me. It doesn't look like very much and thought I was gonna get a slightly better ride than a trypical Batman the ride, but man I was blown away at how intense this ride was. Afterburn (formerly Top Gun: The Jet Coaster) is now my 2nd fav Inverted coaster behind Dueling Dragons, I just loved the intensity and smoothness of the ride along with the tunnels and placement of the coaster, they even offered a video of your ride. Fairly Odd Coaster 4/10 This ride was very short, very small, and very rough. I've been on both the Beastie at Kings Island and Scooby Doo's Ghoster Coaster at Kins Dominion and this the roughest version of them all. I know this is technically a kiddie coaster and not meant for adults, but thats probably a good thing. Vortex 6/10 This is actually my fav stand up I've been on. That being said, I hate stand ups and this didn't change my opinion. It was smoother than the other stand ups I've been on King Kobra, Mantis, Shockwave, and now Vortex, Iron Wolf will soon be added to this list and maybe Chang if I'm lucky. The queue though def. needs either some shade or some fans cause we were dying in the sun waiting for this thing which I already knew being a stand up would have a slow loading time. Carolina Cyclone 5/10 I love arrow to death, but this was not its best work. Good setting, not to bad name, fast loading time, but man this thing will kick your butt if your not prepared. I'm just not a fan of rough coasters and this coaster hurt like SOB. Ricochet 3/10 Typical Mack Wild Mouse, what else can I say. I really wish they would have gotten the same version at Kings Dominion, but hey it is what it is and I've been on 10 coasters exactly like it. Flying Super Saturator 9/10 The Flying Super Saturator has now reinforced my opinion of the Setpoint Swing Things and how much I absolutley love these rides, since it was in the waterpark you can ride it in your swim trunks (can you do the same now at Hershey since they built the waterpark?) so you could basically ride it almost naked lol, again not the tallest, fastest, but with just that lap bar and dropping 4 gallons of water along with getting wet, THE MOST FUN I'VE HAD ON A COASTER. The only downside is the the loading times are really slow and only one car is on the track at any given time and is known to break down. The rest of the coasters were blah, all there woodies were rough as hell and the rest of the steel coasters were kiddie like Taxi Jam, RRR, Carolina Goldrusher. Overall 7/10 Overall it was a pretty good park, although it seriously lacks in flat rides. I thought it was cool how the park was in both states, there was alot of trees, but those trees should have been in the queue areas where they were needed, alot of the queue areas were left in the open and in the heat it really sucked. Food was expensive, but that is to be expected these days. I really like Scooby Doo's Haunted Mansion and the Carolina Skytower were really cool. I love getting bird's eye views of the park.

Ok I have to chime in and help out the guy from Israel Flipdude. Now I was stationed in Baghdad probably during one of the worst times of violence from 2005-2006 when all the sectarien violence was happening. First I should say for anyone who has never been there, shut up, don't believe everything in the news or everything you read, you haven't been there to see for yourself so you just don't know. Yes there is violence in certain areas, but its not everywhere and there are safe places in baghdad and other parts of iraq. Alot of days I never knew of anything happening on the other part of town and would go months with peace and quiet. The guy made a comment about Dubai and how the middle east is so crazy. Hey Kuwait is right next door and Kuwaitis love Americans because we saved them from Saddam and you can go just about anywhere in Kuwait in civillian clothes. We would take a 4 day pass down to Qatar, visit the beaches and the mall (which had an ice skating rink inside the middle of it) and everything else a great time. So you can't just gerneralize the middle east like that.
