KT had two very good US Trips due to finally hitting that magic 48" mark!

 

Finished at 415 Jeff Johnson Credits and 362 Actual Credits.

 

She's also now up to 52 woodies which should put her in pretty good standing for the Mitch Hawker poll!

 

And on a sad note, she rode her first Boomerang!

 

She should do well with a quick trip to SoCal next month.

 

Did she get on X2, Goliath, or Superman yesterday?

As you'll see I don't really plan for these things.... :/

 

001 - DrachenFire BGW

025 - Boomerang KBF

050 - Skull Mountain SFGAd

075 - Stormrunner HP

100 - Superflight - RP

 

Superflight at Rye Playland was undoubtedly - and I mean with not even a close second - the single worst coaster I have ever experienced. Oh well.

 

It may also be interesting to point out that all these milestones have been within in the last year... except #1 which was about 1993 "OMG never again"

I was able to get a couple of milestones this summer:

 

Wonder Mountain's Guardian was my 200th steel coaster. Well...if you can call that a coaster. I do...so whatever.

 

Demon (CGA) was my 300th coaster. I sure know how to pick 'em.

Saddest sign ever.

Did she get on X2, Goliath, or Superman yesterday?

 

Excellent question!

 

With our quick SoCal weekend she's now at 427/374!

 

At SFMM she rode Goliath, Speedy Gonzales, Goldrusher, Superman, Apocalypse, and Revolution. She loved Goliath, like super loved it. She was nervous about Superman but ended up riding that a ton as well. She rode it and liked it even more once I told her it was an Intamin ride!

 

As for X2, we skipped it. It was the first 48" ride she qualified for but I didn't feel comfortable putting her on it. Between the restraints, not being able to hold on to her, and the roughness of the ride I just didn't feel right about putting her on it. Just because a kid is tall enough for a ride doesn't mean they should ride. Even a kid who's been on 427 coasters!

Just BUMPing this, as I realized, each milestone coaster I've achieved, each one was in a different country!

 

#100 - Wales - Oakwood - Speed

200 - Japan - Kijimi - Mine Train

300 - Germany - Movie Park - Backyardigans Mission To Mars (whew!)

400 - England - Alton Towers - 13

500 - China - Forget the Park - a Mine Train

600 - Mexico - Six Flags - Medusa

 

Has anyone else had this happen? I didn't plan it at all.

It's just how things turned out, randomly.

 

And for the record, I am kind of hoping my #700

Coaster will be in the USA.

 

Maybe next year, perhaps?

My #600 - Medusa, at SFMexico. (And no, that is not spelling G-O-D. Just a visual.....thing.)

Not a very impressive count, but here goes:

1. Lil' Phantom, Kennywood

25. Lightning Racer (Thunder), Hersheypark

50. Skyrush, Hersheypark

75. Rolling Thunder (left), Six Flags Great Adventure

100. Flight of Fear, Kings Island (was very nearly able to make Flying Turns #100, but on my first KI visit only a few weeks before, FoF was closed, and I ended up returning about two months later after FT became #99)

 

I'm currently at 102 with Impulse at Knoebels being my latest credit.

^ Hey, it's all good. And listen - when I started actually

counting coasters, I was 53 and not even at 100 yet!

 

 

Now of course, I've gotten "a bit better", thanks to all

the awesome TPR Tours (all overseas) I've been on.

Good times - my #100 - at age 53 - in Wales. Back in 2006 on the very first TPR UK Tour. (o:

First I thought an SLC was my #50 (Blue Tornado @ Gardaland) but then I realized that I counted wrong but I now don't know if it is Raptor or Sequoia Adventure also @ Gardaland. My count is at the moment at 54.

^ Mucho Congrats Mikey!
