^^ what these guys said in regards to late May. Seemed to us that the rides ran better, too.

Haven't got all of them, yet. Out of what I've ridden, though: 1. Twisted Timbers 2. Lightning Rod 3. Steel Vengeance 4. Goliath 5. Outlaw Run 6. Storm Chaser Planning on Untamed, Zadra, and Wildfire next summer.

KD and BGW next weekend...2 of my most favorite parks.

The singing mushrooms were calling me. So we're coming next weekend. A little butt clenching for the best giga drop is a small price to pay. Plus airfare, and hotel, and rental car, passes, food, ride photos, funnel cake, and beer. What a great hobby!

The singing mushrooms comment made me jones' for a Richmond trip.

I interrupt this thread for an interesting shot of Maverick...

I have a unique story about my first ride on Fury as well...But have to set the table before serving the meal, and why it was just, soo funny. My youngest son, after riding Cyclone a few years back (2012?) was feeling extra brave when we headed down to SFGAd while we were visiting New York. Before we got in line for El Toro, I told him- "Look-this thing is on another level. No big deal if you sit this one out..." "I got this", he said. The screams could be heard in Philadelphia, and he never got on anything over 80 feet (Except for Beast) since then. We arrived about a week earl

Bill said it best about Fury...something along the lines of when you're leaving the station the clouds part, and a choir of angels start singing.

I've been shoveling snow all morning...I needed a little reminder that Spring's around the corner. This is from Coastermania last year @ LH Point.

Thanks everyone for your thoughts and advice.

Nevermind...I guess Heide and Phantasialand do the same thing as well.

Hey everyone- We got a screaming deal to Amsterdam and Europa Park is on our list. We were going to go next year, but its too good to pass up. Am I reading the website right? They close at 6 pm in the summer?

Stumbling distance from Thirsty Pony was my first thought.
