2006 Coaster Season Stats

[LOVE SFKK]

Since this was my first year as being a real coaster enthusiast, I thought it went very well.

 

Parks visited: Adventuredom@Circus Circus

SFKK (best park ever)

SFMM ( Tatsu rocks)

SFEG (flying coaster hurt)

and Cliffs ( awesome GCI)

 

SFKK was my favorite becasue of its hometown feel. Even thought it doesnt have super great coasters, its still a great park, and better than any parking lot attraction! P.S they have the only tough B&M in the world!

 

SFMM was fun as always but Tatsu really stands out as one of the best coasters there. Batman seemed to have gotten rough this year, and Dive Devil rocks!

 

SFEG was not very good and doesnt really have that great coasters. Although if the park sells, sidewinder should definately get relocated

 

Cliffs, if the best small park in America, and yes the GCI is uber fun

 

Looking forward to next year to increase the coaster count to 65

Relaxing and cooling off at Adventure Island.

 

Fall: Meeting up with fellow UK trip participants: Tommy & James at Disney. Chuck and my 10 parks in 4 days fall trip. The kick-a$$ VIP tour at HHN. Hanging with Chuck, Melanie, Rich, Cameron, Joe at MNSSHP and everyone else during the "TPR Real World/Road Rules Orlando. Going to the parks with a 2-year old for the first time. Spending a relaxing day at BGA with Ted and Catrina from the UK trip. The Food and Wine Festival at Epcot.

 

2006 had been a very cool theme park year for me. And at least it isn't over yet. I still have almost 2 months left down here is sunny Florida!

Can't wait for next year to start!
