No, but I've ridden a good majority in California and Ohio. I think I have all the "major" coasters in CA besides some of the random kiddie coasters, Legoland, and some of the roadside theme parks (Freeway coaster?). Ohio there's a few more which are mostly obscure kiddie coasters or coasters I'm too big to ride. I've ridden a good chunk in Florida too but I've still got a few big ones left to ride. Great question!

 

Have you ridden all the US versions of a certain type of coaster? (i.e. all SLCs, all B&M hypers, all Batman clones)

Yes; a good number of categories, though I'm definitely missing some that many others have! My biggest accomplishment was briefly catching up on every B&M coaster in the United States, in 2014.

 

Have you bought something pumpkin spice flavored recently?

Posted

No, but I'm only missing 3 and hopefully next year I'll get to ride those as well as the new ones! Yes, it's ambitious.

 

Did you make it to all the theme parks you had anticipated at the start of the year?

Posted

I had to count just now, but it looks like that's the plan! I'm usually overambitious rather than conservative when putting together tentative plans, though.

 

Does the weather seem like fall where you are?

Posted

Yes. Sunny skies, cooler weather, just like it should be around here.

 

Do you know how to play chess?

Posted

Deep-fried, no, but I ate things cooked on a flattop, which technically is a form of frying. So yes.

 

Ketchup on a hot dog?

Posted

Yes. Along with mustard, relish, mayo and sauerkraut.

 

Do you like apple pie with slices of sharp cheddar cheese?

Yes. And I think we overbought the candy for this year's. Oh boy! Leftovers for us!

 

When you make a sandwich, do you butter/margarine your bread before everything else?

Posted

Absolutely! Also my favorite Accelerator by far (not that there isn't worthy competition, particularly in Storm Runner), and a close second favorite launcher to Dodonpa.

 

Do you have any unpopular critical opinions of a well-loved coaster company (such as RMC)?

Posted

Yes, back when I was a pre-teen. At nine, we went to the Seattle World's Fair in 1962, and although I had been given money to spend, by my parents, I couldn't bring myself to ride (back then) Broadway Express, Flight To Mars, and a ride that involved a madhouse/swing in it. And they let me go (Pre-kid grabbing times) on my own into the then-called GayWay . But I mostly walked all around it, and just enjoyed watching everything. Including the dark rides. From the outside of them.

 

Do you have an actual photo/scrap album, to look through and enjoy, apart from a cellphone, etc?

That yellow "barn" there is the Haunted Swing, which I didn't ride, but could see it turning. Freeked me out!

And the Flight To Mars on this side of the shot. Red Station is a SKYRIDE station! And up in the left-hand corner,

was SHOW STREET, the World's fair's ONLY Adults-Only part of the Fair. With old time Burlesque strip shows, and

a rather unique marionette show called POUPEE'S OF PAREE, by Syd and Marty Krofft fame. I have the actual CD

soundtrack of it, heh. Seattle World's Fair GAYWAY, 1962. Photo from the net.

No . . . Not that I'm aware of (I'll ask my parents and see if there's anything)

 

By the way . . . . NICE FIND there Bill

 

Anyhow . . . . have you ever lost any personal possessions at a park?

Posted (edited)

Yes. A wallet. But somehow, I got it returned to me. Just without any money in it.

And there was only about $30 in it. And the cards were still there, too!

Lucky return I always thought.

 

By the way ? ^ Thanks! but I forgot to add... This shot was taken from the elevator, going up the Seattle Space Needle! Awesome!

 

Do you enjoy popcorn at a theme park?

Nope. Only Fascination. I may or may not play something if I end up with a game credit as a perk/promotion.
