Oh my God, Angry Rhino Trip!!!!! LOL!!! Let's see.. PCW or just your starting point, Holiday World, Beech Bend, Dollywood, SFOG, ?, BGW, PKD, Dorney or hershey?, Knoebel's.. no SFDL on the way home? why not?

I underestimated Phoenix at Knoebel's. Everybody always told me how awesome it was, but I didn't believe them. When I first saw it in person I was like "Oh, it's so tiny, there's no way it's as insane as everybody tells me it is." Oh, but IT IS! And I also agree with what Dave said about Dragon's Fury and Wild Mouse. Those are great rides also.

LOL..... I don't even know where to start. I think these photos are so great that I have no comment whatsoever! Thanks for sharing, Adam! ...and happy belated birthday, Tom!

Yeah... I thought they weren't going to put big gaps in this year... but maybe I misunderstood and they meant they wouldn't do one episode, two repeats, two new episode, a month of repeats, etc.

This is why I keep aborting your children!

Yeah, I had that experience this year too! Until this year, I was not a big fan of wood coasters cause most of what's around here is crap (except Silver Comet) - Minebuster, Wild Beast, Predator.

^You never know! No ride is safe!

I forgot my first inversion! It's either... Viper at SFDL, or The Bat at PCW... I have no idea which came first!

It's about a 30 minute drive to college for me. It's also about 30 minutes for me to get from home to both my work locations.

I'm starting to dislike Lost more with every episode. I didn't like how they brought the two random people with Locke into the Pearl station. I also didn't see why they killed Eko. Are they just going to kill every character and like recycle the cast every season? I don't even care what happens to Kate and Sawyer, leave them locked in their cages. And Jack might kill Ben on the operating table anyway, because if you remember from the last episode, their crash cart is broken.. Bah, stupid Lost. I liked the show better when there was more mystery surrounding the island. Finding out the answers just makes it feel stupid to me.

^Boooo.

Thanks you two! I just wanted to make sure I was doing it right. I'm one of those annoying kids in class who asks 47 billion questions. I am about to submit... it's easy when you only have ridden 30 wood coasters! (And Elissa, that's my top 3 too, except with a different steelie in the middle! )

So, does this mean I am ranking my favorite steel coaster along with all the wood ones? For example, My favorite steel - y, y, 2 Mean Streak - y, n, 1 Colossus - y, y, 3

Hmmm... Turtle Chase > Chaos, in my opinion. But I have a Chaos half a mile from my house, so my opinion doesn't matter.

OK guys, I have a question - What the heck do I do with the line that says "favorite steel, any park anywhere"??

"You Fight Me" - Breaking Benjamin

^^Yeah, you are easily impressed then! Yeah. But, had I voted last year, I would have been like, "Mean Streak is awesome!" and nobody wants that.

Oh yeah I forgot. Weirdest theme-park related experience: being recognized off the internet for the first time in October!

Awesome, I will definitely be doing this. I chose not to participate last year because I felt my opinions would be biased due to the small number of coasters I have ridden. My count is still not that impressive, but I feel like I actually have something useful to say this year, lol.

I feel like I just did this yesterday. Oh wait, that's because I did! This was the biggest coaster year for me so far and maybe ever, and my bank account shows it, lol. This is going to sound incredibly stupid, but this past year pretty much ruled because of TPR. My school and job situation really sucked, and the UK trip gave me something to work for and look forward to. Thanks guys! TPR to me is an "acceptable level of toolness" community that includes cool chicks. Every other board I tried posting on until now I got bored with cause the people were boring, or there were no chicks. I pretty much stayed past last october because of Elissa and Lou, and then I got hooked because there are lots of other cool people here too. So.. yay! Thanks Robb and Elissa for making such an awesome place to tool around! I started this year with a sad and pathetic coaster count of 44. Current coaster count: 136 # of new coasters ridden for me: 92 # of new for 2006 coasters ridden: 3 (LOL...)

June: UK trip - meeting Dave Thomas!, Tommy and James, Non-German Tom, Lou, Rich and Melanie, everybody else! Something Derek did at Coney Beach, something that happened in the bus, giant quacking duck on the Alton Towers log flume, riding Velocity with Tommy and screaming like idiots the whole time, skipping out on ERT to ride Valhalla again, riding Nemesis for the first time (I've wanted to ride it since I was 12!) July - Visiting Kennywood for the first time - almost dying on Jack Rabbit, Auto Race rules, Garfield's Nightmare sucks insane amounts August - being re-united with my favorite Arrow multilooper , making hand motions for rides, teaching Heath the Marineland theme song, riding my former favorite woodie Silver Comet, Derek meeting my dog and being licked for like 10 minutes, my dad telling him the Worlds of Fun story September - Adam and Ellen's wedding, the Ooooooooooold Mill, hanging out with Todd and Krista at the airport.. GIANT RICE KRISPY TREATS! lol.. going back to PCW and hanging out with a bunch of Canadians, visiting Splashworks for the first time in like 10 years and riding WWC.. I told you guys I would be the one to get soaked! October - PPP... almost dying on Phoenix.. having the guy jump in our car on the car ride and almost dying again, visiting chez Derek, experiencing the lameness that is Hydra I'm gonna add some stuff from Joe's site cause his ^4ness is more complete.
