RAWKIN_coaster38

No, but I have access to a gym on my college campus and at my apartment complex Have you pulled a prank today?

I just had a conversation with someone about how I'd still rate Vortex as my least favorite coaster even after riding T3. Stand-up coasters can all die, it's not just a male thing. Riddler's is somewhat tolerable for me and I'll probably get to ride Georgia Scorcher this summer so we'll see how that one fares. Rougarou was an immense improvement on Mantis. Patriot is already a huge improvement on Vortex in many ways (trains, paint, shade), but I'm still curious to hear what more people think as they ride it. Maybe it really is the butterfly that emerged from its cocoon, I'll still be skeptical until I ride it for myself.

Last night. When was the last time you got woken up by an annoying noise?

Am I the only one who watched that teaser video like 5 times? Beautiful footage, and our first real legal footage of Mean Streak! (besides Chillout, which not everyone went to). The use of the word "they." Who is coming? The people? The announcements? Dueling interlocking corkscrews? Some sinister "they" that will become the new name and theme of Mean Streak? I also have a weird feeling Cedar Point might take the video down after today and pretend it was all just an April Fools joke.

Cedar Point's actual 2018 addition

^My first at night, for sure. I rode it alone the first time. All I knew was that it had a cheesy ending but didn't know what it was. Mmmm cheese. I think it's kinda funny, and too easy target for "worst ending" when there are probably worse (i.e. just lift ending without theatrics).

Lou Malnati's is brilliant pizza, though. Hoping the next element on Mean Streak is some sort of stall, but I'll take even more airtime in all shapes and sizes. With my mindless scrolling, and your post being the first actual coaster-related post in a while, I expected your post to read: "Hoping the next element on Mean Streak is some sort of pizza"

^I'm not sure if I would have rather known or not known beforehand. I had been reading these boards for quite some time before I ever went on it, so I knew Adventure Express was touted as one of the "worst coaster finales," so once I got to that portion, I just laughed because I knew the ride was over. There was no real disappointment because I was "pre-disappointed." Would have been different if I got there not knowing anything and then expected something great to happen, just to be let down.

On an actual river, 2013 When was the last time you completed something that you made you genuinely proud?

Yes, especially if I have lots of alcohol in me! Do you like to go out on the weekends (besides the obvious theme parks)?

Dude, there are 3 in the whole country. Slow your roll. I see what you did there ^And I agree that a Sky Rocket doesn't strike me as quite the "big" that he was talking about, but the good thing is that we won't have to wait long to find out! And not only will we know 2018, but 2019 plans as well! So no speculating next year either

Congrats! I've been catching every Magikarp I see since they've been popping up all over for this water festival. Still have a ways to go but I'm a lot further than I was!

^You were there, large can mean long. There was talk (that I barely heard because I was ditzing around in the back) that before Storm Chaser they were entertaining the idea of putting in the longest wooden coaster to beat out Beast's record. Also, when we were on top of the water slide taking pictures, he pointed out this quite substantial area of land they had over behind the water slides (I believe) available to them for development. They already have built two amazing shorter coasters and they could do it again.

Well I recently rode Mystery Mine which is also a Euro-Fighter but Lightning Rod's airtime is better, so either way it was the Saturday before last at Dollywood. When was the last time you played a board game?

Yes. I was an English major and took several Lit courses that required us to read what could be considered classical literature. I still prefer 20th century-current with maybe a select few older pieces. Do you like to cook?

Opening day at Dollywood, Tennessee Tornado When was the last time you rode an RMC?

I'm right there with you! I love it! Can't wait to see what my kids think of it in less than a month when they experience it for the first time! Make sure to yell to them, "HOLD ON AND GET READY FOR THE LAUNCH!

Yes! Actually already went, and will definitely go again Are you planning on visiting Southern California this year?

Just today! There is this club that always has pizza on Tuesdays and conveniently leaves it in boxes on a table in the hall while they eat in another room. I was so hungry and it was there, so I swiped a couple slices. When was the last time you stole something?

Finally got on Lightning Rod and I can update that LR DEFINITELY takes the cake for me. So now I'd rank: 1. Lightning Rod 2. Storm Chaser 3. Joker 4. Wicked Cyclone (Joker and WC are very close for me, but I like the drop on Joker a lot better) 5. Twisted Colossus 6. Goliath I could potentially see myself switching some of these around in the future, especially if I get more rides on TC and decide to rank it higher. Aiming to hit Outlaw Run this year

Not yet, but I am planning a trip! Are you planning an overseas trip this year?

If their attendance hadn't been dropping, they wouldn't be attempting to appease them. Just sayin'. I'm no expert, but I've always seen killer whales as the icon of Sea World. Phasing them out just sounds like a death wish to me. On their Facebook posts I always just see people who are disappointed with this shift. Also sounds like their attendance isn't really improving. I just really don't get it.

^I thought he meant theatre as in a play Sadly, there's no Target in town so it's been months. I'd say last spring when I last lived in an area that had a Target, but I may have shopped at one this winter when I visited. When was the last time you set off the smoke alarm?

Yes!! It was a professor I had last semester when I was still learning everyone's names and then it was really awkward and I had to try to think of a reason why I would come to his office. Are you LGBT?

I just keep seeing all these videos about the pregnant whale and how her baby will be the last orca calf and it just makes me so angry and sad. That sad excuse for a documentary ruined what really marked my childhood, and Seaworld is listening to the demands of those people who won't attend the park anyway! In my lifetime I'll likely see a world with no orcas in captivity, so I will not be able to bring children and grandchildren to see and wonder up close at the animals that enthralled me as a child and sparked my imagination and passion for so long. Progress? Depends on who you ask. But I don't think so and every one of these "positive steps" that Seaworld is making which are really just desperate moves to appease the Blackfish people kill me a little more inside. We'll see how this new dolphin show will go.
