Ewwwwwwww!

What's up with the woman next to him?
His face is covered in the blood of a bird smushed up by his chiselled features and she's all, "Oh look! Funny!!"

Sorry not to enquire about the crotch rot Monster.
I didn't want to objectify your snatch.

Just never walk around for ages in wet clothes on a humid day unless you are blessed in the gap department.

back in the day when astroworld was here, the Texas Cyclone was tha bomb!! i would go to astroworld and do nothing but ride that coaster all. day. long. from open to close! sorry to see it's demise. here is a vid i stumbled across just now...



and the full ride on the cyclone:



now here's a funny story regarding another ride at astroworld. greased lightning.
rumor had it that if you dropped something from the top of the loop it would hit the person behind you. i used to chew tobacco. beechnut. wintergreen. BIG wads of the stuff. yep. it's true! i spit out my wad of tobacco at the top of the loop and it hit the person behind me. right in the face! that was totally awesome!

Yup, kids and bars don't mix. We were able to let the boys go off on their own on that trip. Ive only been to a few water parks. They used to be problematic for me because of my glasses. A serious pain in the ass having to deal with them...being able to relax at the pool with a beer made my day on that trip. Now, after lasik, I can really enjoy myself a lot more.

Well, the only amusement park I ever went to with regularity was Kennywood. I love that place. The Thunderbolt, the Race, JackRabbit, and any one of the many incarnations of the phantom roller coaster. I haven't been to an amusement park in years. I really need to go again.

Filthy, the Texas Cyclone looks like the big brother of the one in Gt Yarmouth.

This is what I will be riding come July.
I'll take lots of photos during the trip, but I doubt I could better this video for the coaster.
Esp as it now costs a fortune and the best seat for riders is behind the brakeman :)

While I haven't been fortunate enough to ride any of these northern coasters, as a life-long Floridian I've been on all of the ones at the Disney parks, all but one at Busch Gardens Tampa, and all but one at the Universal parks. Out of all those, my favorite is Expedition Everest at Disney's Animal Kingdom. It is so wonderfully smooth, it feels like flying.
