I do have four theme park related pins - Raven (Holiday World, identical to the one you have), Phoenix (Knoebels), Haunted Mansion (Knoebels), and an Air Race Zamperla pin free from a TPR Bag O Crap. I'll get a picture later.

Wait. . . Is "Sex Playgound" the name of the Ferris Wheel?? If so I guess the couple from Vegas was just in the wrong place, at the wrong time. #TooSoon?? According to an article, the "Sex Playground" ferris wheel has one way looking out windows where no one can look in. I think it's for having sex, although it says no sex allowed - however you know people won't listen.

Honestly, don't stress high school. I started college this year, and college contains more stress and importance than high school needs to be. I'd say try your best in subjects but don't over-stress them - you shouldn't need an involuntary all nighter in high school. Lots of people over-stress their classes and take all AP classes just to go to a mediocre college - don't do that. Also join a club or two - high school has LOTS of people and if you want to find friends join clubs YOU want to join that have your interests. Other than that, just relax, take classes you want, join some clubs, and enjoy high school.

"Entrenched" - Bolt Thrower

I am very excited to ride Storm Chaser! It may not be the best roller coaster ever or as good as RMCS but it still looks amazing.

"Luna" by Deafheaven "I’ve boarded myself inside. I’ve refused to exit. There is no ocean for me. There is no glamour. Only the mirage of water ascending from the asphalt" "Pity Party" by Melanie Martinez "Maybe it's a cruel joke on me Whatever, whatever Just means there's way more cake for me Forever, forever" "Sick And Disgusting" - Beartooth "And I know that I'm still gonna cry every single night But if you want me I'm gonna stay here and fight 'til you say, "Son, your heart is mine.""

"Bored To Death" - Blink-182!!!

Blink-182 made a new song AND are touring with A Day to Remember and alternating All Time Low and All American Rejects for support!

I haven't been on too many launched coasters, but I put down Storm Runner as it is a fantatstic ride. TTD is good too. Other noteworthy ones after 2005 that I have ridden are Maverick and Thunderbird

I am very sad with how many notable people are dying this year - David Bowie, Lemmy from Motorhead, and now Prince, not to mention Mike Chance. Rest in peace, you guys didn't deserve this.

That is very true. If you want to make it more confusing, there is an infinite amount of numbers between 0 and 2, 0 and 3, 0 and infinity...yet they are all infinity but there are bigger infinities...Oh I loved The Fault In Our Stars...

I feel very sad. Mike Chance was a brilliant person who made brilliant rides and he should not have gone through what he did.

The second to last picture was messing with my brain to whether it was roller coaster track or not.

Thunderbird at Holiday World

This was a great trip report! Was the Typhoon the same one at Santa's Village in Illinois by chance? I never went to Santa's Village during its operation and I knew it was there at some point so I.m curious.

"Break The Ice" - Kublai Khan

I want to accomplish all of these except the Super Hero cape one just because I'm not a huge super hero fan and as a broke college student I don't want to pay for lots of capes I'm going to do nothing with aha. I do have some of them though, such as the heights of the rides and I do have lots of souvenir bottles and other stuff from the park.

Believe it or not I am sort of happy for the Larson Loop just because I've actually never ridden one and now one is opening near me. (I've seen some at carnivals and fairs but I never went on them for some reason). I feel Larson Loops are getting a bad name just because parks label them as coasters, but as a flat ride they do look fun. I enjoy looping starships and Aero 360 so I think I will like it.

I was debating whether to go to SFGAd or not but honestly this post more or less convinced me. Plus the Safari pictures were phenomenal, I knew nothing about the Safari prior to this. Great job!

"Circled By The Wolves" - Asking Alexandria My god this album is fantastic

In the family coaster world, on Avalanche at Kings Dominion I felt nothing. I know family coasters are not supposed to be intense but I just felt Avalanche was extremely forceless even for a family-oriented coaster. Even Pepsi Orange Streak which is a Zierer family coaster I felt a little something at one point; on Avalanche I felt nothing. Like I said I know it's a family coaster, but I know bobsled coasters could be done much better like Flying Turns at Knoebels was. Avalanche just fell way flat for me.

I think it's for April Fool's but I mean if it's closed all season they might as well redo the entire track and make it RMCed (at least I hope...).

Thank you for the trip report! I really like the layout and oddly I think the random upside down trees and sideways street are really cool. America needs more rides like this.

^Grizzly is phenomenal. That drop was one of the best I have been on. On a side note, the GP can choose between the name Battle Klash, InvadR, or Viking Raider. I think the choosing of the names are cool. Personally I'd go with Viking Raider or Battle Klash because I feel like they sound better than InvadR.

This makes me really want a new flat package for next year. I'd actually like to see new flats before SW8. I'm really not sure what kind of flats they would add, though. If they didn't have the height limits and S&S still made them, a Sky Swat could've gone really well in Ripsaw's old spot. I remember in RCT1 there was a park with an S&S Space Shot/Double Shot emerging from the ground. Thinking of S&S, maybe they can build one?
