yankees15 Posted August 20, 2008 Share Posted August 20, 2008 Man I really wish I could've gone on the East Coast trip! I'm so jealous of everyone! Hopefully in a couple years I can have the money for one of these trips. Great report so far! I will defiantly be following these reports. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
downunder Posted August 20, 2008 Share Posted August 20, 2008 Hey Matt, Max looks really gay in your room in that peguin shot and Adam looks even gayer making love to that ACE landmark plaque. It's a shame we didn't get Ride of Steel at it's best, it was more Clark Kent that day. Damn, that Catwoman statue, does she work at Hooters during the day.

Wood Dragon 1988 Posted August 22, 2008 Share Posted August 22, 2008 Man, really sorry I didn't meet the EC Tour at my locals SFA or KD, but my work schedule just sucked that week. Here is the secret about SFA: It takes them AT LEAST half the day to get all their coasters running well. At night, everyone has left, and pretty much every ride is a walk on. I'm usually able to get plenty of rides in, and your ride count seemed extremely low for having ERT! Yall should have stayed till close, your not supposed to sleep on a TPR tour are you? I hope none of you think the entire state of Maryland and the surrounding area is of the same quality of Six Flags America and Capitol Heights (where you stayed before SFA). Really would have loved that Boulder Dash ERT. I loved the night ERT on RFII and S Comet, but I like Boulder Dash so much better than those two rides, it would have been insane....you haven't even gotten to Phoenix yet and I'm already jelous Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim S. Posted August 23, 2008 Share Posted August 23, 2008 13 times on Hydra?! Man, what seats did you ride in? Everytime I've been there this year, Hydra has rattled worse than I've ever had a non-Arrow rattle. Maybe I'm just riding the wrong seats, but I rode the same seats last year and it wasn't nearly that bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim S. Posted August 23, 2008 Share Posted August 23, 2008 Wow, either it's got better or I keep getting a bad train. I've tried the front and the back and nothing saves it this year. And the ends are worse than the middle. I'm puzzled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
