The Birth of a Ride Warrior
I remember my first time riding Beastie and crying the whole way

New at KI in 2011
Um yeah right. That's completely ridiculous. At this point all hints point toward a GigAquatrax. It's really quite easy to see.

Holiday World PTR
We left very early in the morning and it rained basically the whole way there. But it did not rain while we were in the park.

The Best Coaster you've ever ridden? TOP 5
Kevin, it was a TOGO stand-up that got me to like coasters in King Cobra. I've heard bad things about the ride like it being more than a tad bit rough. Unless it's EXTREME roughness I really don't mind it. I like rides like Georgia Cyclone, Son of Beast, and Invertigo, so unless it's as rough as rides like Dahlonega Mine Train and Mean Streak were to me then I'll more than likely be alright. Was it the restraints you didn't like? Well yeah, I hated the fact that the restraints aren't adjustable like the B&Ms. Other than that, there's extreme airtime in which you are LAUNCHED from your bicycle seat (not a good thing), awful transitions and the the loops hurts your legs 30495304968709873245 times more than Mantis does. It's short. I could really go on and on about things I didn't like about it. It's just not a good ride IMO.

The Best Coaster you've ever ridden? TOP 5
Tom I as just at KD for 2 days this week and Rode I305 no difference on the Trims on the first Drop. It picks the speed right back up and it rides just like it did when we went opening day. BTW Stayed on Dominator 10 times with out gettign off on Monday the park was dead the last hour it was open LOL. Oh i rode Shockwave for you to. One word - JEALOUS! You rode my two favorite steel coasters AND rode a TOGO stand-up that was closed on KD Opening Day that I couldn't wait to ride. Just wondering, do they trim Hurler at the bottom of its first drop? I remember the one at Carowinds having that trim off. Tom, IMO you didn't miss anything with Shockwave being closed haha.

What Should I do at K.I. in 2010
LOL. Boo Blasters was fantastic at the beginning of the season sure but hardly anything of the effects work anymore. It's a fail.

Heat's Up, so is attendance at Holiday World
^^YES! Holiday World is a great small park. The Voyage is a truly incredible coaster, and the employees are among the friendliest of any park. It doesn't get much better than Holiday World.

A Great Day at the Ohio State Fair PTR
Is there any way to add coasters at fairs to your coaster count?

SFGAd ChangING
Chang was pretty fun. I loved it dearly but I gotta say I liked Scorcher and Riddler's Revenge much more.

I LOVED Houdini's Great Escape at Six Flags Great Adventure! Glad you had fun.

Legoland, Knott's, and More PTR
I absolutely LOVE looking at pictures of Miniland!

Legoland, Knott's, and More PTR
While I'm glad you loved KBF...I personally wasn't a huge fan. But I do agree with you on Silver Bullet, it's flat out amazing. I didn't get to ride Xcelerator either, it was still closed from that accident last year. And that comment about boring us with Legoland pics...is that possible?! Overall I'm glad you had fun. Next time you travel out there hopefully your kids are old enough to ride all the big coasters so you can go to SFMM...what an incredible park...

The Beast Helix Tunnel
I think the ones on Millennium Force seem pretty close!

The Best and Worst Roller Coasters Based on Movies

Six Flags Great Adventure PTR
1. I kinda liked the one at SFoG, but it didn't ruin my day or anything 2. I would actually feel unsafe if they DIDN'T staple me 3. Agreed 4. What did you like about it? I love hearing different opinions 5. Sure is! 6. LOL! I really jumped in my seat on the coaster when that happened! 7. I saw that ride at Hershey...were you kidding about it hurting?

However I was not a coaster enthusiast when I rode ME so maybe if I rode it now it would be different. EDIT: Double post fail.
