Bequi Posted October 9, 2008 Share Posted October 9, 2008 I too got the be sure to keep your account activated email so I am coming out of the lurker shadows to say hello. I am Bequi, from Anaheim CA, we don't have any theme parks nearby...oh wait I do live near a place that gets bombed every night around 9:25pm or at least that is what it sounds like from my apt. I was a slave to the mouse for 15 years but retired in 2002. I wish I had kept count of how many coasters I have been on in my life but never thought of it before! I did visit Japan and Hong Kong last year and am planning a return trip in 2009. Just wanted to say I love this site even if I don't post and feel I know many of you from the wonderful TR's. Would love to go on an Asian trip with you all one day, it looks like a complete blast!

topcub Posted October 10, 2008 Share Posted October 10, 2008 Hi every one, this is my first post so hope i am doing it ok, I have just been to Kings Island Ohio for the first time, I love the woodies especially The Beast however my mate came off with quite a few bruises. I am expecting to go to Fright Night at Thorpe park again this year its still one of the best I have ever come accross in my travels around the world. And if you haven't been, go to Tullys Farm, The owner is really friendly and always interested in your views, Though its a working farm in the sussex country side don't be fooled, the haunted hayride and horror maze in the corn field (field of screams) ranks up there with all the bigger well known parks.

So look forward to joining in some chats! xx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoshAbelsonXiii Posted October 12, 2008 Share Posted October 12, 2008 I'm Josh, HI. I live 10 minutes away from Knott's berry farm, 20 minutes away from Disneyland, and about an hour away from Six Flags Magic Mountain. I'm in the second year of high school (11!!!) I'm into video production, swimming, shot gun, archery, rifle, running, biking, rowing, trumpet, guitar, piano, and I love roller coasters. My first ride was on space mountain at Disneyland. I was scared like no other to ride it, but once I got off the ride, I was hooked. I use No Limits on my free time. My youtube channel is www.youtube.com/rollercoasterxiii Thanks for reading!

SuperShawn Posted October 13, 2008 Share Posted October 13, 2008 Hello, My name is Shawn, and I have an addiction to round dot eyed fuzzy cute animals! OH and Theme Parks. I live in Hollywood (now) and am about 30 minutes from SFMM, but most of my Rollercoaster adventures happened while I studied abroad in Japan 4 years ago, and the occasional family trips from long ago. I've managed to ride 88 different coasters so far. I'm currently a slave to retail and a future student of fashion design. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daisy Posted October 22, 2008 Share Posted October 22, 2008 Hellooooooo! I'm Daisy. I'm from Ireland so I NEVER get to ride coasters BUT...I love them so much. I'm hooked on RCT2 and I try my hardest at NoLimits (still a bit rusty though). Since I'm really gabby, you'll mostly find me talking rubbish in the Random threads...

HowieP Posted October 26, 2008 Share Posted October 26, 2008 Hello all. I've already posted a few times here, but I figured I should tell a little about myself. My name is Howard Parks.

I am also a roller coaster freak! The parks I've been to (so far) is as follows: Michigan's Adventure (of course!) Cedar Point Six Flags Great America Hersheypark Magic Kingdom (WDW) Epcot (WDW) Disney Hollywood Studios (WDW) Universal Orlando Islands Of Adventure Busch Gardens Africa Old Town Indiana Beach Sea World Ohio (Defunct-aka Geauga Lake) Marineland (Niagara Falls, Canada) Where I would like to go next: Disneyland Disney's California Adventure Knott's Berry Farm Kings Island Cedar Point (last trip was 1999) Holiday World Beech Bend Six Flags Kentucky Kingdom (MAYBE) Disney's Animal Kingdom (of all the parks at WDW, I've never been there) Cypress Gardens (only for Starliner, though) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billybastion Posted October 28, 2008 Share Posted October 28, 2008 Hey everyone! My name is Smith and I currently live in Austin, Texas. I'm a huuuuuuuuuuuge Disney parks fan and love theme parks in general. I'm such a huge fan I wrote my thesis on Walt Disney and Walt Disney World while I was in graduate school. I now work in the video game industry...it's...interesting. I've been following Theme Park Review for a few years now and decided to finally take the plunge and join the boards. My favorite reviews are the Disney parks (obviously), the Halloween trips, and various trips to the "big" parks (although I like reading about pretty much everything).

itnotfair Posted November 2, 2008 Share Posted November 2, 2008 I just posted a huge intro and then the server went down! I'll try to make this one as good, but let me tell you, the original had moments of genius I'll be hard pressed to recreate. And by moments of genius I mean fart jokes. Hi everybody, I'm Ben. I've been posting for a little while already, I'm twenty-eight, a crooner, and I'm getting my BM in Jazz Studies. I've always loved coasters, and being a So Cal native, I've had access to quite a few! Recently, partially due to this web site and its resources, I've gone coaster crazy...perhaps unhealthily so. I'm planning a trip to SFDK and CGA in a few weeks. This trip will put me over 50 coasters and then some! With me as always will be my girlfriend of five years and coaster buddy, Laurice. She is not insane for coasters like I am, but she will ride any coaster that dares present itself to her! Parks I've in which I've farted: DL, DCA, SFMM, KBF, USH, MK, Epcot, Dollywood, Castles n' Coasters, Scandia. Top ten coasters in alphabetical order: California Screamin', Ghostrider, Goliath, Montezooma's Revenge, Mystery Mine, Space Mountain, Tatsu, Thunderhead, X2, Xcelerator No Kingda Ka, El Toro, Beast, Eagle Fortress, S:ROS, or Expedition Geforce!? Maybe when I ride 'em! Cheers to Robb, Elissa, and the famous-beyond-her-years KT! Thanks for this great web site and community! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anfronee Posted November 5, 2008 Share Posted November 5, 2008 Hey Yall. I am Anthony, But most of my friends call me "Anfronee"(apparently it is from the movie Mean Girls). I am really new to this Theme Park/ Roller Coaster thing, but i enjoy reading everyone's posts and pictures about it. I worked at Dollywood for the past 2 summers and i loved it, for the most part (and the mullets). I am originally from New Orleans, but now i reside in Johnson City, Tn. I guess that is it about as far as introductions go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
itnotfair Posted November 5, 2008 Share Posted November 5, 2008 ^ Welcome! I'm pretty new too, but I just wanted to respond because I hit Dollywood this summer, and it was soo much fun! You work at one of the best parks in the US imho! When you see entire families walking around with the same mullet, you know you're in Dollywood.
