I'm going to the Angels game today and I think they have what it takes to beat Boston. Plus they are playing for their fallen teammate (My avatar). I think if the Angels get their running game going and the crowd going we'll take the series. Andrew "Win one for the Rookie" Iorio

Also go to hit other sites depending on where I am. What is the farthest you’ve traveled to go to an amusement park? New York Does roller coaster time get in the way of family time? (Do you choose to miss your children’s or family’s sporting events, holidays, birthdays, etc…) Not at all Do you have any other major hobbies? Sports and building models Do you get feelings of sadness in the offseason? Do you even have an offseason? Do you travel during the offseason? Don't even have an offseason Do you consider yourself friends with someone you met who works at an amusement park?

Disneyland, DisneyWorld, Knoebels Have you ever “stole a kid” to get a credit on a kiddie coaster? Nope I have my little brother. Do you cut other categories out of your budget to make trips to parks? (Entertainment, fast food, holidays, tobacco or alcohol, etc…) I'll occasionally save money for food and souvenirs if I'm on a trip. Before you visit a new park do you research the park finding the best way to navigate the park, get the best deals, or what days to go? I come on the TPR form and ask for advice. Do you feel the roller coaster enthusiast community is a warm and accepting community, or a negative and discouraging community? It's a warm accepting community that is like one big family. Do you like to talk about your hobby with people who are not roller coaster enthusiasts? If I could I would but it is hard to.

I can't wait to see my Angels against the Red Sox this year. I want my team to win a lot more this year so they win it for Adenhart. AL Central looks like a good race til the end though. Andrew "Win one for the Rookie" Iorio

How much do they cost to build though? If they cost a little than SFMM might change their mind. Andrew "SFMM will have the first THBS with Fire and Audio" Iorio

Agreed. I would be happy with a new ride no matter what it is because it's new. If we get a Dark Knight I don't care because if it means the long term survival of Six Flags than I'm ok with that. Andrew "Bring on the THBS" Iorio

Halo ODST. Very cool! Andrew " It's still not worth $60 though!" Iorio

^^Still Cedar Point is very, very different from SFMM. If you look at Millenium Force's line it's never any more than 45 minutes to an hour but if that same line were at SFMM it could e 2-2 1/2 hours. Fact is they just aren't like each other but it would be nice if SFMM started picking it up. Andrew "I highly doubt it" Iorio

Just emailed him and asked if Farve counted as a cash for clunker. Andrew "AOL is NOT dead" Iorio

^I assume the same thing as texting Ryan. Andrew "I'm going to E-mail him now" Iorio

^Did just that! Andrew "5 Emails in 2 days" Iorio

Just emailed him. Andrew "Can I still Text Ryan?" Iorio

I never got to ride Flashback but by the way people make it sound I feel like I didn't miss much. Was it really a bad ride? Andrew "Missed Credit and 400th Post" Iorio

Those Phsyclone photos are cool. It looks like a drop is just hanging there as the ride is being torn down. Thanks for sharing Robb. Andrew "Psyclone 1 flag, GCI Terminator 6 Flags!" Iorio

No Would you like to own a Panda?

X2 At SFMM 15 times in a row during the season Passholder event. OUCH!

^^ I love FailBlog!

Same here. I have heard I have a nice teacher though because he believes we are tested to much and he is an easy grader.

I am still wondering why they won't put anything over in the Colossus County Fair area? I mean it's a dead area of the park and if they give it some love and put, who knows a THBS there, It would liven up that area of the park. Andrew "Still dreaming of a Mega Lite in 2011" Iorio

You know thank god my Eagles signed Vick because McNabb fractured rib? Andrew "Did the Eagles predict the future?" Iorio

Yesterday at SFMM there was a Ride op that started saying stuff about Del Taco like "It's Crunchy, It's cheesy", etc. in a deep voice and started rapping it, It was hilarious. Andrew "I yelled "Cheesy Enchilada" as I was being dispatched" Iorio

Very well put. The event was great and I'm still getting my Xtreme Play Pass next year even if they don't do an event. I really think this was a smart event to put on by SFMM and I hope they continue to do this as annual thing. The one thing I'd like to see them do is something Cedar Point does, If you buy the Xtreme Play pass you get in an hour early to the park. To me that would be a little bonus and they could raise play pass prices because I do think they are kind of cheap. Andrew "I hope they do an event next year" Iorio

I thought I saw you in the station. Anyway this was an awesome event can't wait unil next year. SFMM should make this a yearly thing. Andrew "Season Passholder Appreciation day 2010" Iorio

I had 13 rides on X2 last night awesome! I thought I saw Eric on Terminator but I wasn't sure. That was by far the best day at Magic Mountain I've ever had. Hopefully SFMM does this again because it was awesome. My final ride tally X2-13x (Going for 15) Terminator-5x Goliath-2x Everything else-1x. Andrew "Thanks SFMM for a GREAT EVENT!" Iorio

Just another quick question about tomorrow, If I'm bringing a friend than I pay for his ticket at the ticket booths right? Andrew "Come say hi tomorrow, I only bite on a bad day " Iorio

As for meeting some of you if you see me don't be afraid to say hi. I'm the 14 year old wearing a Red Angels Shirt and Hat with black shorts. Andrew "Hope to meat some of you" Iorio
