Meat. I don't want my dick to fall off from eating all that gluten.

Rob Zombie at Vina Robles Amphitheater in Paso Robles, CA on Sept 17. It was a great show in such a nice venue and so close to home!

Really looking forward to this one.

I wish they would

All the Pumpkin flavored things. I really liked the Pumpkin Pie Mochi Ice Cream I had from Trader Joe's last night.

Tea baggers blaming the president for the whole Ebola scare. And tea baggers in general. That is all.

^ Is that a Christmas tree in the background?

David Bowie "Suffragette City" Don't forget today is the last day to register to vote for those of you that live in CA. Unless you're Republican, then it's next Monday.

Undertow at SCBB on May 30 was my first and Gold Striker at CGA on Sept 21 was my last. I'm not sure if Im going to go to any more parks this year or what my first coaster will be in 2015 but if I had to guess it would either be something at Disneyland, DCA, or USH.

I missed the Whip at Dorney, having done the two previous Whips at Knoebels and Hersheypark. Had I realized the Whip there was such a classic ride I would have rode it. I rode the log flume and while I got partially wet, I didn't get soaked like I did the next day at SF Great Adventure's log flume. I didn't realize that Dorney was that old of a park until I saw that Thunderhawk was from 1923-1924. You can't tell at all that Dorney is a classic park. Did it original have a different entrance in the lower section of the park? Because the layout of the park is kind of strange with a lot of rides clustered at the bottom far away from the front entrance and the waterpark being right next to the entrance. I agree that Dorney is a run of the mill park with nothing too memorable in the rides section. The included water park is the saving grace of the park. The new water slides were a lot of fun. Walking through the rides part of the park on a Saturday I was wondering "where is everyone?" When I arrived at the water park, I was like "there they are". I was done with the rides section of the park just around 12:15. After lunch, I went to the water park where I stayed until 2:20 (or was it 3:20?). The Water Park is where I could have spent more time as I didn't get a chance to ride most of the water slides that didn't have Fast Lane. Fast Lane really came in handy though on the water slides that had it, as I bypassed lines that had at least 30 minute waits. This was great as Fast Lane was pretty much unnecessary on the rides side of the park.

Young the Giant "Mind Over Matter"

I like the format this park may emulate: Islands of Adventure layout with Studios rides and some IOA rides. It looks like they are taking the "greatest hits" park format to the next level by giving it the IOA design. Hopefully public transportation to the park from central Beijing and the airport will be good. The air pollution and cold winters will be an issue, and Shanghai seems like a lot cooler and "happening" city in China to visit, but I can understand why they chose Beijing: massive population base (3rd largest city in the World, although Shanghai is 1st), lots of cultural attractions already in place to draw visitors including Forbidden City and Great Wall, and Disney already building a resort in Shanghai.

Bleachers "Rollercoaster"

I thought it was smart of Natalie to yell to the other tribe to vote out John Rocker at the end of the immunity challenge, despite how annoying she sounded. It worked, and John got voted off Survivor with an idol in his pocket. He hesitated whether or not to play the idol at the vote, and his confidence that he wouldn't get voted off got the best of him. Classic Survivor!

Twin Atlantic "Heart and Soul"

$3.43 a gallon yesterday for regular unleaded at the 7-11 in Paso Robles, CA. I'm just glad gas is below the $3.50 mark here in CA.

American Cider Enthusiasts ACE Hard Pumpkin Cider from Sebastopol, CA

If Knoebels is considered a small park than it definetely wins best small park.

Twisted Colossus! And it's pretty close to me.
