WARNING - SPOILER AHEAD - MH, I suggest you do not read!

Janet - pretty much just in reply to you, but Iron Dragon is one of the few coasters that totally freaks me out. And one I'm glad not to have to ride anymore. It was another 46" one so for many years I had to ride as the 3 boys got to that height. And I've ridden a similar coaster at another park (Canada's Wonderland I think?) and enjoyed it.

But the fact that it's over water just terrifies me. Riding Top Thrill, the thought of possibly falling out of the seat at 400' and splatting down onto the earth - nope, not scary. Probably because I jumped out of planes for too many years in the Army. But on Iron Dragon, all I can think of is it somehow the train came off the track, and sank into the water, and I couldn't get out of my safety restraint - well, the image really scares me. I always do my best to leave as much room as I can between me and the restraint, but I'm not as thin as I used to be so that's usually pretty futile! Can you tell I don't like this ride?! Do you see why I didn't go into the Navy?

Okay, I never claimed to be normal!!

Okay, and this post is for everyone!

Does anyone else remember (I was in HS) when the Gemini was "The biggest, baddest, tallest, fastest rollercoaster in the WORLD!!"? (You have to channel the commercials and ads with the emphasis on the last word). With huge lines and everyone all hyped up about it? And now it's more of a kiddie/starter coaster!

Morning everyone.. TGIF!!!

Last night at our first-ever football game at the new private school I am coaching at...

We played badly, but still defeated our opponents (they were very, very bad) 64-0.

 

[patster734]

I'll add my

Happy Birthday, Mac!!

wish too.

I just realized that I'll never forget Mac's b-day again--same as my DD's--she turned 17 yesterday. Course we are still eating the cake from Disney for breakfast--yummy.

DS survived 1st day of high school w/o any phone calls to the principal. Although, I did have to email him about crap that DD is STILL dealing with from the NYC trip from June. Justice hopefully will finally be served.

Keisha not sure if that's a misspellhold down the fart
