I just finished A Seperate Peace by John Knowles. It's pretty good, but now I have to write a report about it.

Description: Myself and my family took a small vacation to Pittsburgh, PA and I had Kennywood on the brain. My sister spent the first half of the day in the hotel room & the second half with my mom, who only spent the first half of the day with me at the park. We got to the park around 10:45 and I headed straight for the famous Phantom's Revenge coaster, which was about a 10 minute with only one train running. I have to say, it has to be one of the best coasters I've ever been on with some of the best airtime I've had on a roller coaster. The best part was that I was able to ride it a total of six times that day, half of which were in the back row. 10/10 After Phantom, I rode Thunderbolt, a wooden coaster from the 1960's that was interesting because it (as well as Jack Rabbit) start out with a few drops before the chain lift. I expected a tame, ordinary woodie but found it to be an awesome, exciting ride. 8.5/10 After Thunderbolt, we rode a lot of the flat rides Kennywood is famous for including Volcano, Ghostwood Estate, the new Bayern Kurve, King Kahuna (which I just found out had been put up for sale), as well as the historic Turtle and Noah's Ark. Also, I'm unashamed to admit that I rode the Lil' Phantom coaster for the credit (2/10). After lunch at McDonald's, I was dropped of at the park by myself because my mom had to get back to my sister. I rode The Exterminator, another Wild Mouse in a box (7/10), Pitt Fall, Swing Shot, Aero 360, and Wave Swinger, all of which were fun. Afterwards, I rode the Racer coaster, about a 15 minute wait, which very good considering it's old age. Even though our side won, no one else besides me tried to do the famous hand touch 8/10. I also rode Jack Rabbit, which I have to admit was the most tame wooden roller coaster of the three in the park, but it was still good. 7.5/10. Since I had ridden all of the coasters, most of the good flat rides, bought my souvenier Phantom key chain, and since my feet were tired, I called my mom and asked her to pick me up. The entire family had T.G.i. Friday's for dinner, and it was a perfect end to a perfect day. Rides: Phantom's Revenge- 6x Thunderbolt- 1x Racer- 1x Exterminator- 1x Jack Rabbit- 1x Lil' Phantom- 1x Volcano- 2x Turtle, Aero 360, Noah's Ark, Swing Shot, Pitt Fall, Pirate, Wave Swinger, King Kahuna, Ghostwood Estate, Bayern Kurve- 1x (each) Overall: 10/10. A perfect day at a great, old fashioned amusement park. I wish I had gone next year so I could ride the new coaster that was just announced. I'll post the pictures later. Thanks for reading!

Which Coaster Gives The Best AIRTIME???
Zack44 replied to Crazy4Coasters!'s topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Nitro at Great Adventure gives a lot of amazing airtime, especially in the back row. I'm pretty sure the other B&M Hypers have this in common. -

Kennywood (KW) Discussion Thread
Zack44 replied to DenDen's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Wow, they announce this the week before I go to Kennywood myself, probably for the only time. I also like how they never give it a name. -
THANKS SO MUCH!

I don't mean to be picky but I spell my name with a "K" rather than an "H". Ypu don't have to change it if you don't want to, you did an amazing job!

Six Flags Great Adventure
Zack44 replied to cooliocody12's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
A lot of the restraunts obviously have overpriced food. Try to get you hand stamped and eat at one of the many places outside of the park. If you don't want to do that, then I recommend Best Of The West (right next to the Log Flume & Runaway Mine Train) or the Great Characer Cafe next to the Carousel. As for coasters, I'd recommend that you go on Bizarro, the "newest" ride, first, followed by Mine Train (since it's close), El Toro, Kingda Ka (if it's opened), Rolling Thunder, Superman, GASM, Nitro, Batman, The Dark Knight, etc. -
If you have any spare time, could you do one for me? If it's possible, can you do a triple-coaster thing of El Toro, Kingda Ka & Nitro at Great Adventure? If you can't, then just El Toro. Thanks so much! Great Work so far!

What Ride makes you Nervous the Most?
Zack44 replied to Thrillrider15's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
The first (and only) time I went on a Skycoaster (the one at Great Adventure), I was a bit nervous, but it turned to be more fun than some of the coasters there! -
What is it about Kingda Ka?
Zack44 replied to DJSonic's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
I'm planning to go in three weeks, I really hope the park gets at least a little progress by that time. Anyways, any new developments? -
