I pretty much just limit myself to this (all of this fits in my cargo pockets). -Wallet -Iphone -Keys -Camera -Video Camera

I've ridden one of each type. Hydromagnetic Rocket (Wildebeest @ Holiday World) - Definitely my favorite of the three types. Good airtime, lots of soaking action, and just an overall fantastic water slide. I loved it. Conveyor Belt Rocket (Typhoon @ SFNE's Hurricane Harbor) - Didn't seem quite as fast as Wildebeest nor did it get me too wet. Master Blaster (Master Blaster @ Schlitterbahn) - Like others said, this seemed to struggle going uphill. I thought I was going to roll back or stop at the top on a couple of the hills.

This is great news for Gardaland. Regardless of whether its a Krake-like Dive Machine or a Sheikra-like Dive Machine, its bound to be an awesome ride. Looking foreword to seeing how this turns out.

1. Kumba. Not only is it my favorite B&M Sitdown, but my favorite B&M in general. 2. Incredible Hulk 3. Wildfire

Love the new name. I never liked the name Flight Deck, and this not only pays tribute to the Bat, but also fits much better with Banshee. Hoping the rest of Action Zone follows suit and the area gets a makeover.

Can't judge since I've never been to Dollywood, but considering how much I love Silver Dollar City, I'm pretty sure that is amazing. I loved both my visits to SDC. It has everything. Great coasters, great food, and a great atmosphere. So I've got high expectations for Dollywood.

Ugh. Just got back from one of the longest and worst days I've ever had at work. I hate my job and need to quit ASAP.

Definitely Walt Disney World. Cedar Point is a lot of fun and all with some fantastic coasters (Maverick), but Walt Disney World just has so much to it. Great rides, great food, and just so much to do.

Looks awesome. Really hope that we can get a Top Spin to run like that during a TPR Trip.

Nice Photo TR. I always enjoy reading Photo TRs of parks in parts of the world that most people don't go to for coasters. Sucks to hear about the food service at the park, but at least you've got all those Tagadas.

Best moment - The entire Texas/Rocky Mtn Road Trip I did. Best individual ride - Outlaw Run Funniest moment - Goofing off on the Stratosphere rides while everyone else was scared sh*tless Scariest moment - SCAD Tower Strangest moment - Reading about the Texas Giant Accident on my phone the day after I visit while still on my trip Favorite individual park visit - Silver Dollar City Nerdiest moment - Geeking out during the Timber Mtn Log Ride Backstage Tour at WCB Best non-coaster related thing to happen at a park - Getting interviewed by a local newspaper about Outlaw Run Best thing to happen on a park trip outside of the park - Penn's Private Party Favorite new experience - Doing a big coaster trip completely on my own

This is the cream of my bucket list, since the entire list would contain just about every coaster I haven't been on or park I haven't been to. Rides: Intimidator 305 Skyrush Walibi World Goliath Nemesis Balder Any Megalite Pyrenees T-Express Atlantis Adventure Mountain Flyer The High Five Woodie in China Anaconda @ Gold Reef City Formula Rossa Gravity Max Olympia Looping West Edmonton Mindbender Parks: Tokyo Disney Resort Dollywood Busch Gardens Williamsberg Alton Towers Liseberg Blackpool Pleasure Beach Grona Lund Happy Valley Shanghai

Outlaw Run - Absolutely FANTASTIC!!! Blew my expectations out of the water. Fabulous ride. I loved it. Iron Rattler - Also a really fun ride. Not quite as intense as I was hoping, but I still thought it was really fun. Full Throttlle - Fun. Nothing special or amazing, but I liked it.

I currently own : 1 pair of Vans Slip Ons 1 pair of Vibrams 1 pair of Running Shoes 1 pair of Flip Flops (don't wear these nearly as often as I used to)

Billy Squire - The Stroke

Great Photo TR. All the rides and the tents look fantastic. I really hope to make it to Oktoberfest some day.

2013: 49 Yeah. 2012 is still my best year.
