So i went to six flags: great america today. I am disappointed in the intensity of the coasters. It's easily been 8 years since i've been there, and I was nervous at first. Then I rode the viper. fun. american eagle. scary as fux. then the steel coasters. Superman pulled some serious g's in the back row, but was lackluster. Iron wolf was pathetic. batman was alright. the demon was shady.

I guess what i'm getting at is what is the draw to spending $xxx on the entry fee to wait (no lines today, thank goodness) on a hot day in the summer? very confusing. On top of the low thrill factor, the ride lasted no more than 2 minutes on any of them. Someone please justify a theme park for me. Or am i just too old now...

nah to get a good thrill now (unless smaller rides do it for ya) you have to go to those with the something-EST rides. I'm going to the one at Cedar point Ohio in september. Amusement park with the most variety of coasters (or something like that).

Once you've done any manner of competitive motorsport at all, autocross, rallyx, track day, maybe even even one of those indoor kart tracks, well, rollercoasters rather lose their edge.








But some of those b@$tards at cedar point do look pretty kickassss

I'm not one for coasters...I use to ride "The Runaway Minetrain"(I think that's what they called it) at Six Flags St. Louis and that was it...it was tame, probably the tamest coaster there. Then I went on a band field trip in 8th grade to K.C. and we went to Worlds of Fun, where I was peer-pressured into riding the Magna(I think that's what it was, it's the biggest coaster there) and it was fun, kinda...I have a fear of heights, so I was pretty anxious on the way up...no, very anxious, and staring at the seat in front of me so I wouldn't look down. I dunno, it's just not my type of fun.

road trip anyone?

[kozzman555]

ill go, but only if you wear your "depends" diapers. im not stopping every 30minutes because you have an over-active bladder. and don't forget, to bring some air freshener. GOD HELP YOU if i smell an old man fart. i will leave you and your wheelchair on the side of the road.

Harsh. I always wear my depends. My farts smell like roses, btw. Lets do it...
lemme pick up my meds first, though.
