Non Italy/Europe Highlights: Marathoning Lex Luthor at the employee party Being highly impressed with Manta My Nor-Cal Road Trip (Not really a coaster highlight, but we did stop at the SCBB to ride the Giant Dipper, so it counts) And then of course, the real highlight was The TPR Italy/Europe Tour Italy/Europe Highlights: Sightseeing in Rome The BBQ @ Fort Fun The TPR Takeover of Euro-Mir Europa Park in general That night at the Dragon Bar This insane waterslide

Hmm. Hard to choose, but here is a Top 10 List I composed. Wouldn't really say its 100% accurate since I constantly change it and its hard to judge since parks are good for different reasons, but here's what I came up with for now. 10. Kennywood 9. Heide Park 8. Mirabilandia 7. Busch Gardens Tampa 6. Knoebels 5. Islands of Adventures 4. Tie between the rest of the Disney Parks in CA, FL, and Paris (minus Epcot) 3. Silver Dollar City 2. Europa Park 1. Epcot

Riding all three Rocky Mountain Coasters.

I've only been on Spongebob and Untamed. I definitely prefer Spongebob as its not only smoother, but it also has that pop of airtime after the loop.

Of the new 2012 additions, I've done Carsland, Lex Luthor, Manta, OzIris, Divertical, and Wodan. The only one of these that disappointed me was OzIris. I was hoping it was going to be a good old school B&M like people were claiming it was going to be. But nope. It was just Silver Bullet with Montu's theming. The rest of them, I enjoyed and met my expectations. A few of them (Manta and Divertical) even exceeded my expectations.

I have several reasons for being a credit whore. Mostly, its just a fun hobby. Now I won't subtract quality for quantity. I'd much rather go to a big really good park and only get 1-2 credits than go to a bunch of puny crappy places and get 20 credits. But I still do find it fun to collect credits. Its a fun hobby for me, and is the equivalent of collecting coins or stamps or something like that. I'd also say that with the right people, credit whoring can be a ton of fun. I've had some of the most fun on tiny little sh*tty kiddy coasters cause of the people and the fun we all had. I know I had much more fun on this than several MUCH bigger coasters. As for going out of my way for credits, I would not go out of my way just to ride some old Wacky Worm 3 hours away. But if I get some great friends and look up a bunch of other fun things to do in that town, then we have ourselves a fun little road trip and get the credit and have more fun in the general area. And besides, that Wacky Worm is still a much better ride than some of the horrible "non credit whoring" coasters I've ridden like Dragon and Gouderix.

Was up in Northern California and I decided to take a look at Gold Striker, and I must say, they're really doing a fast job building this ride.

I'll Be Alright Without You - Journey

Holy Crap!!! This thing looks incredible!!!! I rode Blue Fire and Manta this year and loved them both, and this thing looks better than the two combined!!! I think I know where I'll be going for the summer of 2014.

If the advice you're going to give me consists of nothing but stuff like "Get over it", "Its for your own good", "Deal with it", "Thats just how life rolls", etc. Please shut the f*ck up. I'm much better off without your "helpful" advice. Oh, and one more thing. Don't continuously ask me what's wrong over and over again and then me to "Quit your bitching" once I finally do.

Great Photo TR Chuck. China looks like a lot of fun. Looking foreword to seeing more from this trip.

Giant Dipper @ Belmont Park this evening.
