It's almost summer! That means its time to go stand in line for 3 hours for 60 seconds of thrills and excitement

ROLLER COASTERS

Coasters are fucking awesome and everybody should ride the hell out of them. Unless you are pregnant or have a heart condition or whatever.

Here are some of my favorite coasters:

Fahrenheit at Hershey Park

Raptor at Cedar Point

Top Thrill Dragster at Cedar Point

Millenium Force at Cedar Point

Vortex at Kings Island


Heres where we talk about the first time we rode a coaster. Or how we are too afraid to ride. Or which is our most favoritest.

Or I guess we can just talk about amusement parks in general.

    I somehow managed to go to Cedar Point on its busiest day of the year. I only got on like 4 rides. I forget what the others were aside from the dragster one and millennium force though. Dragster was pretty amazing though. The ride before us got stuck at the top and got to fall down backwards for a second launch.

    Hershey Park, bitches.


    It is in a magic land where street lamps are shaped like hershey kisses and there is chocolate everywhere.

    Then you go into the park and there is even more chocolate and roller coasters. There is one ride that you don't even need to go into the park, just by the park to get into and they give out free chocolate and sing about chocolate and at the end you go into a store where every Hershey product ever is on sale even like Hershey kiss crystal sculptures.

    It is like stepping into a dream world of Chocolate. Or like that time on scrubs when JD was thinking of his dream job and he was the candy man and everything around him was made of chocolate. But with roller coasters too.

    and then colossus.

    Sidewinder pretty much put a hurting on everyone. Javen was sitting next to me and we were in the front. By the time it was all said and done most of our brains had been turned into scrambled eggs.

    You know what rollercoaster isn't the OP and needs to be?

    One of the best rides of the day.

    Man. That was such a good day. Farenheit was the perfect way to start things off. Only coaster where everyone was almost totally silent during the first drop. Everyone just sucks in a bunch of air and holy shit.

    I like riding rollercoasters.

    But I like designing them more.

    I've been to a couple parks, but the only one I've really ridden a bunch of coasters on is Six Flags over Georgia. Lots of cool ones, I haven't ridden the Superman or Goliath yet though. I worked there a few years ago, and it really kind of killed my desire to go back.

    busch gardens in tampa has some pretty fun coasters. nothing record-breaking, mind you, but fun nonetheless. i dunno how many times i've ridden montu, but i love it.

    islands of adventure has the hulk roller coaster which is a blast

    when i went to japan i went to this place called fuji-q that had this sweet coaster called eejanaika, which i think has the record for most inversions or some jazz? anyway, very fun stuff.

    Cedar Point is so fuckin' rad. Me and my friends make a trip up there every summer.

    Last year the lines were really short for some reason. We managed to ride everything twice and still have time to hang out in the arcade and play Donkey Kong for an hour.

    We usually wait for the weather to be as cold as we can handle before we go to the parks. The lines are short and it's not as cold when you're a Prairie Canadian.
