Hello all. I live in Kingsport, TN and my home park is Dollywood. Love Thunderhead and the horribly cheesy campy fun of Blazing Fury and can't wait to see Wild Eagle (I have been trying to peer around the construction walls all year). I am not completely sure which, but my first coaster was either Scooby Doo at Carowinds (now Woodstock Express) or Thunder Express at Dollywood (now called Big Bad John at its new home - though it is neither "big" nor "bad" -- maybe Moderate Ill-tempered John). My coaster count is only up to 52...a number I may have thought was decent until finding TPR. Just recently discovered TPR when searching through trip reports and planning a trip to Tokyo coming up in just two weeks! Sadly, I will not get to cover nearly as much ground as I would like, but seeing all the other parks (great, odd, or otherwise) Japan has to offer has definitely made me decide I already need to start planning a return trip and I haven't even left on the first! This time it will mainly be just the Tokyo Disney parks as that was the purpose of our trip (total Disney geeks on a quest to see all parks Disney), but I am hoping for at least a run on Galaxy Express 999 thrown in at some point (and maybe, if I feel that we haven't been tortured enough while on vacation, Spin Coaster @ Joypolis). Typically, I am a very dedicated lurker, so no promises how often I will pop up with an actual post...don't know what has gotten into me tonight. Could be the boredom...could be the excitement...could be the alcohol...who knows!
