I used my SFoG season parking pass at SFoT last month, with no problems. If people are worried about parking, try taking public transit. For example, it's $4 round-trip to SFoG on MARTA, regardless of where you start, how far you go, or how many times you transfer. I always take transit when possible (to the airport, concerts, etc), so I can't remember the last time I had to pay very much to park. Of course, there are lot of parks in the US that simply aren't covered by transit, so you have to suck it up and pay to park. Carpooling helps!

Founders + Dark Horse + Shorts = mega-win. I need to get back to the midwest...

Sorry, I think you've lost your glasses for good! I'm surprised Batman did that. I've always worn my glasses on coasters, with no strap, and have never had a problem. Maybe I've just been lucky? I do take them off on rides where they force you to (like Top Thrill Dragster, or practically every coaster at Knott's), but they've stayed put on coasters like New Texas Giant, Millennium Force, Voyage, and even Deja-Vu and Intamin Impulse coasters with vertical holding brakes.

That looks really unique, and what a great setting.

^It should be even higher! Best coaster at SFoG. Interesting to see I-305 so high in the first year. I wonder if it will drop significantly next year (like Diamondback, Prowler, etc).

Don't forget X-Coaster at Magic Springs. It's another 151" sky loop (identical to Sky Wheel).

love love lovin' these trains! Except for the low capacity. Here's the blue one: Link:

Bummer. That on-the-water yo-yo was incredibly fun, and an iconic sight for Indiana Beach.

I really enjoyed Desert Storm at Castles n' Coasters. Sure, it's no top ten ride, but it was smooth, has a very unique layout, and two inversions with lapbars only. Overall a very "fun" ride. For some reason it ranks at #292 on Mitch's poll.

That dark ride looks like rip-off of the Jim Henson characters from the Labyrinth!

Fayrouz is an awesome malt soda (non-alcoholic) from Egypt. The Pineapple flavor is my favorite soda of all time. fayrouzinternational.com/?page_id=62

Dark Lord overrated? Never! Tied for my favorite beer of all time!

^Lucky! One of the benefits of living in the Northeast is stout availability!

^Nope, not yet! Would love to go, but it just hasn't happened yet. Maybe I'm sticking to more "adventurous" destinations while I'm still young. Plus I'm still mad about that whole taxation without representation thing.

Zoooooom at Oaks Park. Yes, it really has six o's, and yes, I was credit whoring!

I'm also a big sports fan - mainly college football and college hockey, but also NFL and NHL.

Thanks for the update! Do you happen to know if T-Express is open in the winter? I always found it strange that Everland is apparently open even when it's snowing.

Got my tix, airfare, staying with a friend near SMU... ready for some NTG!

Baseball season... that means it's Oberon time. (photo from www.theperfectlyhappyman.com)

The official opening day for DDD will be announced at 2PM EST tomorrow (4/1). Hopefully it's not an April fool's joke. SFoG has previously stated that the ride will NOT open in April.
