coaster_maniac

I've got a nice mix.. Some of my friends can see what it is about coasters that I love so much, and they can appreciate the obsession I have.. other people think I'm absolutely nuts and don't understand it whatsoever.. but overall, everyone can appreciate the obsession as a whole--they realize it's just like any other fascination or obsession. I've got friends who are obsessed with sharks, plants, bowling, things like that.. so everyone's got something they're fascinated with!

I agree with Robb.. it does depend on the ride.. BUT, Hyper coasters are DEFINITELY my kind of coasters! I dont think I've ridden a hyper coaster that I don't like.. they'll always be the best in my opinion.. but don't get me wrong, i love a good classic wooden coaster too!

I'd say it's a great ride. I mean, it's not anything too thrilling if that's what you're looking for.. It's not a major thrill ride, more like a heavily themed boat tour with a little backwards motion and a tiny tiny tiny drop..but I can guarantee that almost anything at Disney World, whether it's exciting or not, will be a really fun overall experience..

Cool! thanks for the info!

hmm.. so they're gonna call that ride Superman, huh? Even though the colors don't match the superman theme AT ALL? That seems a little strange.. Oh well, at least SFSTL is actually getting new things--the park has been long overdue for some new stuff.

alien encounter is quite possibly the single scariest ride on the face of this earth. even up until i was 14 years old, that ride would make me cry. although im sad that they took it down (because i hate to see parks try to change or improve rides that don't need improvement), it might have been for the better, because that ride scared the living SHIT out of me! i miss that, though!! RIP Alien Encounter!

when i got my car/liscence plates--it was a little bit before the whole coaster obsession started.. so i didn't get anything special.. but i DO have a millenium forge logo on the back of my windshield!

It was a tossup between SFGAM and SFGADV.. they're both great parks and have their ups and downs.. SFGAM is a great park with great coasters. it's also well maintained, and generally has a friendly staff--but the layout needs some improvement, and it could use a little more oomf.. SFGADV is quite possibly one of the prettiest parks i've been to. it's also got some great coasters--BUT, the lines are kinda ridiculous and i was not impressed with the souvenier shops/lack of souveniers in general. (i'm a sucker for 'em) so overall I'm gonna go with my home park, SFGAM. but it was a tough choice!

Oh, where do I begin?? ALL of the Nickelodeon classicks: Doug Clarissa Explains it All Hey Dude Salute Your Shorts Rocko's Modern Life Angry Beavers The Adventures of Pete and Pete The Secret World of Alex Mack Are you Afraid of the Dark And, a couple of non-Nick TV Shows: Absolutely Fabulous (HILARIOUS) Mad About You Who's Line is it Anyway That's my list! P.S - I wish Nickelodeon would put out ALL of it's old shows on DVD.. they've got Pete and Pete and Clarissa on DVD (but they're only the first seasons of each).. so I guess it's just a matter of time!

so I just saw the movie lastnight.. and.. I was very diasppointed.. I mean, the coaster part was alright.. there were some awesome POV shots of the ride, which, of course, were awesome.. but as a film overall, I think it sucked. If any of you guys have seen the other two movies, does anyone else agree that this one was horrible compared to them? I mean, they have seemed to go downhill since the first one, but still..the first and second movies were connected somehow, but this one was just completely random and had no connections. There was almost no plot--and it just focused on the deaths as opposed to an actual story.. anyone else agree?? I was a little perturbed (hahah i love that word).. not gonna lie..

oohhh fun contest! it'll be hard.. but let's see what i can do..

ok WOW, this ride is seriously looking awesome! at first, it didn't seem that interesting..but now it's looking great! can't wait to ride it!

those are awesome! last year, I attempted to do a recreation of Kingda Ka using duct tape and little wooden pegs.. it was slightly successful, but really frustrating.. so i gave up and threw it away.. hehe. I might attempt another one soon!

i absolutely LOVE the sight of a freshly painted coaster!

very nice! I've never been there.. but I'm sure I'll be going when I move down to Orlando in the fall!

On Friday, I'm having a Final Destination marathon @ my house, leading up to the 3rd one at night.. should be much fun!

I watched the movie "Patch Adams" the other day.. and it made me smile a lot. If you havent seen it, I highly recommend seeing it. It will definitely fill you with happy thoughts.

I've been on TTD and KK.. I liked TTD much better, because of the restraints.. HOWEVER, I chose Xcelerator.. because I love TTD, but I need more than just the top hat.. and thats' pretty much what Xcelerator does.. so woot!

that is actually a very good question.. I knew about the buttons too.. but I have no clue about the zippers.. I've never thought about it before either.. hmm.. <>

it was a tough choice between raptor & duelling dragons... but i went for raptor..

I agree.. wind waker has FAR too much sailing.. BUT.. it adds some great twists to the overall story of all the games!

last video game played: legend of zelda - majora's mask last board game played: magic kingdom - the board game last physical activity game played: four square

Yeah, I've been reading up on all those rumors too.. and yeah it would be awesome to have that controller! Think of all the opportunities! hehe.. but yeah it looks like an amazing game. I can't wait until April. my favorite of the games is definitely Ocarina of Time.. but as darlkingscribe said.. Majora's Mask definitely has a special place on my favorites list. It has what I consider to be the best level in any Zelda game--the Stone Tower Temple ( + the entire Ikana Canyon area).. I love it!

So basically I'm just about as obsessed with Zelda games as I am with roller coasters.. I know, I know.. it's kinda crazy. So basically I'm just checking to see who else is a fan of the game series? What's your favorite game? How many have you played? Does anyone else already have the new game (Twilight Princess) preordered? Basically, let's declare this topic the official "Everything Zelda" topic.. yeah? Ready? GO!

Here's mine! Not much, but it's an awesome picture!
