is it just me, or do coasters look SO HOT when they're brand spankin' new?? anyone else just wanna go up to one of the supports and just start humping it? i know i do.

here's mine.. dont ya just love tatsu's new colors? hahah

holy crap.. this is gonna be hard for disney to keep hush hush.. i wonder how they'll handle it

excellent pictures, dude! and ps i found it, i found it! it's at the bottom of the superman picture! woot woot! hahaah

Alrighty, could I please have "I don't like it when juice wears tights" as mine? And if you know what that's from, then you will instantly be my friend... I'm just sayin'

that video is quite possibly one of the funniest i've seen on TPR! it's right up there with the manhatten express video!

hahah excellent idea for a game!

I have a myspace, but I never use it anymore.. there are too many people looking for hookups online.. plus its full of 10 year olds pretending they're 19.. lol. now i stick to facebook. but, if any coaster people wanna add me, that's cool with me: http://www.myspace.com/coastermaniac04

I'm doing Alternative Spring Break-- There's a gigantic park/forest/resort near me called "Allerton Park", and I'm going to be going there for a week--living in the gigantic mansion in the middle of the forest. While there, I'll be doing volunteer projects during the day, and then just hanging out around the mansion/park at night. I did it last year as well and it was quite possibly the most fun experience I've ever had. I can't wait to do it again!

hmm let's see.. harvey fierstien - last year when i went to new york, i saw him roaming the streets (at the time, he was in 'fiddler on the roof'). i definitely recognized him by his voice, he was talking to some of his friends RATHER loudly and distinctly.. hahah drew barrymore - during that same trip, i bumped into her while walking down the street. after i bumped into her, she said "oh, im so sorry!".. i told her it was perfectly fine.. but i did not realize who it was until i was halfway down the block.. then i turned around and looked at her again, and she said "haha yep, it's me!" paula abdul - on a different trip to new york, two years ago.. we went into the gigantic toys r us store in manhatten.. while we were there, they had a huge line of people waiting to meet some celebrity. we had no clue who it was, but we decided to go ahead and wait in the line anyway.. when we got up there, we found out it was paula abdul.. so we thought that was pretty cool.. hehe patch adams - this might not be an actor type celebrity.. but i met patch adams last year when he was speaking at my college.. after he spoke, i went up to him and talked to him for a bit.. he's really such a nice person, and since then i've written him a couple of letters and received replies from both of them!

I'm gonna have to say the barrel roll... maybe it's not outdated, but to me, they just kinda hurt. Also, a simple Arrow or Vekoma loop is getting kinda old.. but I still love EVERYTHING about coasters.. hehe

raging bull.. *sigh* http://www.coasterimage.com/pictures/sixflagsgreatamerica/ragingbull01.htm in 38 days, my coaster season begins again! and i'll begin the season with Mr. Freeze at SFSTL!

hmm that's an interesting thought.. I never really thought about it. A hydraulic launch is definitely possible on a wooden coaster.. You never know, these coaster designers are coming up with all sorts of stuff, so it could very well be in the future!

Well, I don't really know about how much im looking to spend.. since I'd also be interested in selling the shirts.. I guess it doesnt really matter to me, as long as it's good quality. Umm as far as colors, I'm thinking like.. a black t-shirt.. with a simple logo that has blue, green, purple, and white.. it's not a very complex logo, so I don't think it'd be too complicated to do.. and when you say you get them professionally done--exactly what does that mean? Like, is there a specific type of place/website/company that does professional style t-shirts? P.S- thanks for any help! I really appreciate it! You're hot. Did I say that?

Holla! Ok, so I've got myself a little question. I'm thinking of making some coaster shirts to possibly sell and stuff.. but my question is.. I noticed on the back of your T-Shirts, you've got the donkey logo... Ok, I don't know if I can explain my question here, but I'll try.. how are you able to have a picture printed on the shirt (like the donkey logo thingie) without making it a square image? For example, I have a logo that I want printed on a shirt, but if I go to www.spreadshirt.com or something like that, The logo will basically have to be a square picture on a tshirt, and not a perfectly shaped logo as I want it to be.. does that make any sense at all, or should I provide pictures? hahah

Guess I'm a coasternovice... 63.. well thanks for that self-esteem downer! hahahh just kiddin'

hahah excellent. i know some people who would definitely be fooled by that very easily

oh no, I liked it as well! you're in good company!

^ DUDE! thanks so much!! that brings back some great memories!

Yep! Thats 100% true.. so now that we've put that out there.. anyone have any pictures??

Yeah, I remember there being one tiny little drop.. like, we're talking maybe a 5 or 10 foot drop.. hahah

I guess you could say it was a flume ride.. yeah.. It's where Scooby Doo and the Haunted Castle is now.. I havent been to PKI since 2000, so I don't know what that ride is like.. I have a feeling it's probably the same type of ride..just different theming.. but then again, I really have no idea!

Does anyone else remember the Smurf's Enchanged Voyage at PKI? I used to LOVE that ride as a kid.. does anyone have any pictures and/or video of the ride? That would make my day!

hmm good question.. i automatically thought of millennium force.. BUT, then i thought that i would want something that has a bit of a cooler look.. afterall, if i'm going to be OWNING it and placing it in my backyard or something, i'd want it to look pretty bomb diggity.. so I think I'd go with Viper at SFGAM, simply because it's an overall amazing ride, and it looks awesome in a tight space. so woot!

hahah YES! I was the guinea pig once for DeJaVu.. which is scary enough already.. but to be the guinea pig? that's just terrifying! I LOVED IT!
