LiMiT

You might be a coaster nerd if...you get a GASM when you're given a license plate with "SLC 689" written on it.

I get my daily cardio by playing two hours of DDR a day. Boy am I tired now! Just finished a 60-song session!

Hello, TPR! You may have seen a few posts by me already, but let me introduce myself. I am Lucas M. Testin, better known around these parts as "LiMiT". I would like to say that I'm a coaster aficionado, because all my friends get annoyed when I spew out random roller coaster facts when we're in line for rides at my home park, Six Flags Over Georgia. I recently left the busy life of Atlanta and moved to the tiny town of Hamilton, Georgia (the population of the town is 310!). Aside from coasters, I play a lot of French Horn, Electric Bass, and DDR (that's DanceDance Revolution for all of you non-konami fans). I recently graduated high school and will attend Columbus State University as a music education major this fall. I hope to save up enough money to one day go on a TPR expedition some day! But for now, I'll just attend the Deep South Bash whenever that happens at SFOG.

When I was at Grad Bash, everyone went to Hulk and RRR, so me and my friends rode the Despicable Me ride 4 times. Best ride ever! And it has, in my opinion, the best ride gift shop in the park. Great to see that concept expand into an entire area of the park! I definitely am going to visit USH when it's all finished.

Every single one of these was heard at the respective theme park: SFGAm: I rode Demon for the first time about an hour before the ride got stuck on the loop way back in the day. So many stories come from that, like "I heard that the people all fell out" "I heard that the ride got stuck due to weight distribution" I guess that explains why Demon's line isn't too long. There are also myths about Batman concerning riders' legs crashing into various objects, from trees and support beams to other trains on the track at the same time. I know that at the top of any B&m invert's lift I can touch the car in front of me with my feet, but never have my feet or legs hit anything. The intense airtime on the back seat of Raging Bull can cause the lap restraint to break if you're too heavy. SFStL: Boss flies off the track at that moment of ejector after the first drop. Also, at that moment, if you put your hands up, they can get cut off. The vertical fins on Mr. Freeze are actually brakes that keep the train from flying off of the top of the spike. How else would it make it through the top hat? River King Mine Train has a secret track in the tunnel finale that connects it to Ninja's track. Holiday World: I had a group of "coaster aficionados" tell me that Voyage is best in the back because on one hill the last car lifts off of the track. Splashin' Safari got so big that Legend was going to get moved to make way for more water slides. Kentucky Kingdom: the snap into the MCBR on Chang once catapulted a rider out of his/her seat A switch-track Twisted Twins was removed after a park employee allowed the trains to collide head-on at the bottom of the first track. Obviously this was achieved by running two trains on the same track, but one train headed for the lift while the other headed out the back of the station and went through the circuit in reverse. SFOG: This is my home park, so I hear a lot of rumors from here. I think I have a good myth/rumor for every ride in the park. Here are the best ones: Goliath was rumored to have a hill that went over Interstate 20. One of the loops on Mindbender was removed, which explains why it debuted as "the world's fist triple looping roller coaster" but only has two inverting loops today. There were no safety fences around Batman, and that's why the kid got his head kicked completely off his body. The fences were installed after the incident. One time Acrophobia's braking system failed, and the ride crashed straight into the ground when it dropped. I told my brother that Ninja's new train came from Great American Scream Machine. He knew which GASM I was talking about. The rest of the people in line thought that I said that Ninja's new train was originally going to be installed on the wooden GASM next door.

Just sent an e-mail. In my e-mail, I said that I have an important exam in the morning. If 1pm is too late for me to arrive, please disregard my e-mail. I plan to be the last person at the park (I went to Grad Bash so I know how to stay up late at theme parks) if that helps your decision at all.

I guess I'll head up to Mount Olympus this summer when I'm up in Chicago visiting family. I have yet to get all them credits up there. I also have to get an X-Flight credit. Well, better begin planning my graduation trip then!

With Chang gone, Kentucky Kingdom is in need of a B&M to fill that large void left in the park. And for some reason, I think Led Zeppelin / Time Machine / Whatever it's called could fit in Chang's spot. That is if the proposed water park expansion doesn't happen. Please let this happen! I need this as a credit!

These are the most hilarious memes if you're a huge roller coaster nerd! Anyway, here's mine:
