"The Wanting Comes in Waves/Repaid" - The Decemberists

Went 15 for 16 in my bracket today... I feel pretty good about that. Damn Western Kentucky ruining my perfection...

My first ride this year is debatable. It shall either be one of the three wooden coasters at Holiday World, the Looping Thunder at Oaks in Portland, or if either of these fall through, a coaster at Kings Island or Cedar Point.

I count myself as fortunate for being able to visit this park before it closed... sadly, it was when I was much younger and could not really ride anything. I hope that it can reopen one day (as it would become the closest park to me when at home), but I'm not holding my breath. What I would've given for a chance on the Screechin' Eagle!

Haven't been on too many (this list takes up about a fifth of my total), but nonetheless... 1. Millennium Force (CP) 2. Maverick (CP) 3. Expedition Everest (WDW) 4. The Beast (KI) 5. Rock 'n Roller Coaster (WDW) 6. Riddler's Revenge (SFMM) 7. Top Tjrill Dragster (CP) 8. Magnum XL-200 (CP) 9. Blue Streak (CP) 10. Revolution (SFMM)

"Big Drag" - Limbeck

"Attention" - The Raconteurs

(edit: removed)

I'm picking Pitt to win it all over Kansas in the finals... definitely rooting for my hometown team Dayton as well!!

I am inclined to agree... I've listened to this straight through about twenty times since I got it last week and simply cannot stop.

"Three Little Birds" - Bob Marley and the Wailers

Hey everyone, the name's Kevin. Hailing currently from Ohio University, though when at home I'm in Brookville, about an hour from Kings Island. I'm a huge fan of amusement parks in general and aim to be a sort of historian on the subject. I probably visit Cedar Point and Kings Island with the highest frequency in a given year (there really aren't too many other larger parks that are close/I can actually get to), though this year my goal is to make it out to Holiday World. Humongous fan of Walt Disney World as well. Favorite ride of all rides I've ever had the chance to ride would have to be Millennium Force, hands down. Probably won't post much since I'll have trouble keeping up (I'm almost sure of it), but I'm looking forward at least to reading some great reviews and being more up-to-date on the latest in theme park news!
