It appears I will ride my 100th roller coaster during Riddle Con!

I computed some things and it looks like my 100th roller coaster will be Top Thrill Dragster at CP. So at Riddle Con, we will all have to run there first. I have nightmares that it will break down. I don't want Gemini Jr. to be my 100th!

I'm also figuring out other parks to go to. I was debating on flying into Chicago and doing Michigan's Adventure, Six Flags Great America, and maybe Indiana Beach. I can also fly into Dayton, OH and go to PKI, Wynanot Lake, and the Americana Amusement Park. Then again, I can fly into Pittsburgh and do Kennywood, Lakemont Park, Conneaut Lake, and DeGrosso's. Decisions, decisions...

BTW, what's happening on the Sunday of Riddle Con? All I see are breakfast and lunch.

Are you expecting a party or celebration after the 100th coaster??

I drink you should buy everyone a beer.

 

[Saffron]

Very cool!

Another reason to celebrate!!!

That's quite an accomplishment, Barry. I think I probably have fewer than 20, and that counts a lot from my old Riverview days before it was torn down in the 60's.

I drink so too Carol. . .

New t-shirt idea for all of us "stuff-holders":

Barry rode his 100th coaster, and all I got to do was hold his stuff.

WHo posted that picture the other day? Was it Belle?? Have you ridden that one Barry....I think its a Cedar Point the HUGE HUGE one??

I envy you, I'm not terrified of the actual ride, I'm terrified of how I will feel afterwards!

 

[BarryHom]

No, no...you are mistaken...you all owe me a beer after the ride! We will ride Dragster and then Millennium Force!

I don't think I can do Hersheypark this time. It's too far away.

If you are in the neighborhood Barry i would try and visit Six Flags Great America. As fas as Six Flags parks goes it is one of the best. And as for coasters they are building A Flying Coaster, have a great hyper coaster in Raging Bull, a excellant woodie in Viper, the first B & M inverted coaster in Batman and their first(B & M) coaster Iron Wolf(standup) as well as a classic speed coaster in Whizzer besides several other excellant coasters. Very good to add about 10/12 coasters to your coaster count. I havent hear much good about Michigans Adventure other than their great wooden coaster.
Now i dont know if you have been their but i have heard alot of good things about Holiday World in Indiana with 2 great wooden coasters and a park that is very clean/friendly staff and dosnt gouge you by offering guests free parking/free soda/free sun tan lotion.
PKI would also be worth a visit, they are weak in steel coasters but have great wooden coasters like The Beast and Son of Beast. Its a very good park!!
