Your coaster 2005 season highlights

[Zand]

First Coaster: Apollo's Chariot (April 2)

Last Coaster: S:RoS (October 31)

 

Highlights:

 

First trip ever to BGW. Weather sucked, but the park was great and no one was there!

 

Riding my first spinning mouse at SFNE, Pandemonium was a fun little coaster, too bad the lines were always so long.

 

Riding S:RoS 15 times in a row after a thunderstorm in late June.

 

My first trip to Geauga Lake and a return to Cedar Point.

 

Getting on S:RoS's last ride of the season in the back!

 

Also, I got my 80th credit on GL's Boomerang. Either Kingda Ka or El Toro will be my 90th next year.

[Bush985]

First Coaster: Top Gun (PGA)

Last Coaster: California Screamin (DCA)

 

Highlights

- July 17th @ DLR. Camping out overnight, and getting into the park. I'll never forget walking down mainstreet at 7AM with all the people waving and smiling.

-All my numerous lift walks this past season @ PGA.

- Heading to Haunt with all my co-workers. I created a few more Haunt addicts, and a group to travel down with each year.

- Meeting new people at the parks. I met a few new people this year, including Robb and Elissa.

- Getting to learn the ropes as an Area Manager at PGA. Meeting all the people and learning the job have been a hell of an experience! Can't wait for 2006 at PGA.

- Lastly my five trips to Disneyland. This year was a big plus for DLR trips as I've gone everyother month pretty much the past 8 Months.

 

It's been a hell of a season, can't wait for 2005!
