Foot blisters suck, especially when you're walking theme parks. I used to actually carry an extra set of socks in my pack just in case it rained, I never ended up using the darned things and now I've pared my park stuff down to a runner's waist pack there's no space for socks. I guess I hate dealing with fluffy, fluffy bunnies filled with medicine and goo more than I hate potential blisters!
Re: Ostentatious East Coast/Midwest 2018 - 7 parks KD, HP, CI hope Phoenix is running well tomorrow. Selfish motive.

It actually took me 9 days, though I could have done it in 7 if I had only done one day each at Hershey and Cedar Point. I'm with you on carrying as little as possible with me at parks. I usually limit it to whatever can fit in a pair of zipper cargo pockets. Re: Ostentatious East Coast/Midwest 2018 - 7 parks KD, HP, CI like your style. And I'm glad you enjoyed my "active participation" line re Skyrush. My thoughts totally align with yours on it. Great pics too.
Re: Ostentatious East Coast/Midwest 2018 - 7 parks KD, HP, CUnpopular opinion I think, but I don't think you're wrong about Phoenix. I've been on it a few different occasions, including riding in the "magic seat" and while it's absolutely an outstanding woodie and better than like 95% of the other classic woodies out there, I've always find it puzzling how some people rank it over things like Boulder Dash, El Toro, etc. There's even a classic woodie also designed by Herbert Schmeck, Comet at Great Escape, that I think is superior.
That being said, it's amazing how well-maintained and smooth they keep it, and it's a great woodie to do a nighttime marathon and ride it 20x in a row. Re: Ostentatious East Coast/Midwest 2018 - 7 parks KD, HP, CGreat report! I feel like you and I have pretty similar opinions and tastes regarding the major coasters, but still loving reading someone else's take. Good pics as well!

Phoenix is always running well, some people are just wrong. ![]() Re: Ostentatious East Coast/Midwest 2018 - 7 parks KD, HP, CLoving this report and the reviews since I feel like we have similar taste. Can't wait to see how crazy I305 and Skyrush are!

Re: Ostentatious East Coast/Midwest 2018 - 7 parks KD, HP, CGreat report! I'm guessing you were just used to Skyrush level airtime since I have never gotten a bad ride on Phoenix. Yes the airtime isn't as forceful as Skyrush, but the absence of seat belts always has me laughing as I smash into that lap bar on the return leg.

It was running great yesterday. Still has 12 good pops of air. The run back into the station creates stand-up air on every hill. Return to Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
