Looks like once a month for us through Christmas .. alot of miles on the cars tho, that's the only problem. Well maybe not July since we got Vegas at the end of the month .. need money to blow in the Casinos!

I forgot Oklahoma people were slower than most .. although better than the Mountain People .. like the one talking to me at SDC before they opened .. I was scared.

Well yeah, talk about a random as hell trip. So we decided to risk and and drive to Kansas City and Worlds of Fun for the cheap season pass and since none of us had been there before, it worked. So we left Plano/Dallas around 4:30pm and finally got into Oklahoma about 2 hours later, damn traffic. As hard as it was, we passed on the Casinos at the border and made it past Frontier City around 8pm cause of the rain, once near the Kansas border, the highway was closed and we decided to get gas. We noticed the guys next to us were hanging out on their truck bed, drinking and smoking, next to GAS PUMPS .. morons. We left quickly and ended up getting to KC around 2am .. suck. After a nice little sleep on the floor and Sam trying to eat my burrito the night before, we headed for Worlds of Fun, after missing the exit and getting back on track, we got great parking .. no too crowded, got our passes processed and headed in. First impression ... small park and Spinning Dragons is right there. So we opted for that first .. nice little ride .. spun like mad since we got the fat people on one side. After a decent ride and talking with some local people in line, we did Timber Wolf, what a mistake, this thing SUCKS. After a painful and LOUD ride, we did the Top Spin .. it's ok, not a great program. After that .. S&S time and Detonator. First ride for Sam on an S&S that goes above the pullies, very nice ride. After that .. Mamba. Now I've heard good things, this thing was nice until someone threw up. Bastard. After the wait and such, hit Boomerang. Now I was impressed how quick they got the train dispatched. Not a bad Boomerang, smoother than most, but the bonus points came with the bright pink train .. killer. After that I hit the Wacky Worm, credit whoring to the best. Then the Rotor .. MISTAKE! Actually got e-stopped after a kid started slipping. After that .. photo lap and stuff .. then we headed off to Branson. Overall impression .. nice little park, just not alot to do or bring me back. So got to Branson around 6pm and didn't hit any traffic on the strip, what the hell is going on!? Got into Celebration City and headed straight for the flyers. Finally got some snappage, but nothing huge, one girl got scared cause the whole thing was shaking. Hit Fireball, Jack Rabbit, Thunderbolt, Magic Carpet ride then Wildcat. mmmmm yes, How I love that ride. Only issue was the one train op on every coaster, made for some lines. After that we hit the Outback Steakhouse. This was the first ever but is now no longer part of the chain. This was some of the best steak I have ever had. The gator tail was damn good too .. I'm eating here for now on. Next day was SDC. Ahh yeah, got to Powder Keg at opening, and guess what .. still wasn't open. Finally opened and we got our front seat ride. This would be the only ride of the day since the line was full and was streching back to Fire in the Hole. After Powder Keg, hit Fire in the Hole .. greatness, then Wildfire .. ahh yes. After Wildfire did Shootout at the Flooded Mine and Thunderation. I wanted to do the Waterboggan but it was a bit chilly with the wind blowing. So then we ate .. greatness. After that did the Cave tour and shopped and headed home. Photos: Cave bacon! .. I'm hungry Tight squeeze .. but alot of fun and work Cave randomness Lost River .. the end has yet to be found. It says NOT to look in the hole .. few mintues later he got cynaide in his eye! Decent ride. Justin got pooed on by a bird .. that's funny! Nice ride .. not too bad at all CRAP! I have no idea what this is supposed to be! yeah Rotor ... bad idea .. I didn't ride MAMBA again! ACK! Gorrila escaped from the Dallas Zoo again! Mamba! Sam ate my burrito!

Ahh the pickle .. I lost it when I saw how big it was .. then I got sad cause I didn't have one that big.

Powder Keg about 8 hours ago ... mmmmm

Try Mean Streak .. Giant goes left after the drop and theres no creek running in the middle and you can see the blue covering of the queue to the bottom right .. looks earlier tho.

Think that's the first time the Texas Star has been mentioned, I mean just a Ferris Wheel, but is the biggest in the US well and Western Hemisphere.

But what's the donkeys name? Gotta have a name for the ass.

Sweet .. know what we are eating during the 550 mile drive today to Kansas City ... cool

Whoa I didn't know about the fire .. that's pretty cool, is it a wet version like Riptide at KBF? Hmm .. I need to get to PKD, I didn't know they had flyers!

Dollywood was ok with it, but it was raining when we rode Thunderhead and Tennessee Tornado most of the time .. so yeah didn't do it.

Poor Quake .. In my 3 visits, no 4 visits there, I rode once .. when we conqured the park in 1 hour as well.

Oh I can't wait for June 3rd .. Delirium was awesome, so I'm sure this will be just as fun .. plus riding this the day after Delirium .. yeah, fun stuff.

I worry myself ... I'm just counting down the days until Sunday.

Yes .. one of my fav new rides and one of my fav bands .. couldn't get any better .. well maybe naked photos of Robb lol .. I'm sure I'll get in trouble for this later if my GF reads this.

Yeah we experienced that when we were there. Most parks will close higher profile rides with lightning within 50-60 miles .. Dollywood closes EVERYTHING that is outside, even the train. Kinda odd .. but they do open ASAP once they are clear.

Been to all US Parks .. 198? - DLR 1992 - WDW (right after Hurricane Andrew) 2001 - WDW (all parks except Animal Kingdom, we got there right before they closed) 2004 - DLR (fell inlove with DL) 2005 - DLR and WDW

Shockwave! .. SFOT 5-8-05

Hmm sad they still have yet to use 3 trains .. since I'm not going this weekend, hopefully by next they'll have 3 trains on .. cause I want more than 5 rides this time.

Lines should be a bit longer considering Dollywood's refusal to give alot of ERT, only 3 hours of ERT over 3 days for 2 parks, kinda stupid. But then again, this Spring Con won't be as busy due to the inflated price thanks in part to Dollywood.

Yeah I noticed that too .. the rattle was mainly at the transition from the new S&S track to the old Premier track .. seemed to rattle alot during that section ... I just hope the water splash is working next weekend!

Couldn't agree more .. stupid Chik-Fil-A ... and DarKastle looks very interesting.

Let's see I think somewhere around 81 Already hit Lake Winnie (2), Dollywood (3), Carowinds (12), SFOG (2), KBF (1), SFMW (1), Adventure City (2), Silver Dollar City (1) And plan on hitting Indiana Beach (2), PKI (1), SFKK (1), Indy Zoo (1), Lagoon (7), Worlds of Fun (5), SFGAdv (3), Dorney (9), Knoebles (3), Hersheypark (10), Clementon (1), USF (1), BGT (1), PKD (12) Prolly more will get added.

Odd they got rid of the paratropper and moved the rock-o-plane to the old location .. hmm .. and why isn't the freefall tower in the middle of the helix .. damn they never listen to us!

Awesome .. one more short week til I ride again .. mmm
