My first ride on an H-53 Pave Low they did an AR, Hell of a ride!

I am not scared of rollercoasters, I just have no real urge to ride them.

I prefer keeping my internal parts in the same place they are when I am on the ground.

My girlfriend wants to go to Ceder Point but I would find it to be a waste of money for me since I won't ride much of anything.

How much is it to get in to Ceder Point and I wonder if they have a discounted rate for people (pussies) who don't want to ride the bigger rides

Wduaqnug, hey man! Why did you ban me from your forum? OK, nevermind. I just wanted to know who spunky was, could you PM me or something about that? I think I'm going crazy b/c I got no idea what this spunky thing is about.

I sure would love to ride that Top Thrill Dragster though. I used to go to Cedar Point almost every year as a kid; guess I'll have to go re-live some childhood memories. :D
Are you sure? I would have thought the Magnum would have been tallest and fastest at the time, even at 1994 (my dates may be off).
I don't know. I don't keep track of those things, but that's what it was billed as at the time. Could of been the tallest and fastest for 10 minutes for all I know.

I did them almost every day when I was in the Marines and crewing CH-46Es.

I was at cedar point yesterday... as someone previously said, it's currently shut down... and if it is not back up by Mid-July, it will be down for the rest of the year. Some kind of mechanical problems. I was lucky enough to ride it in May, though, and it's a blast! Goes hella fast too. For those of you that haven't been to cedar point yet, however, you must go for the Millenium Force. One of the best roller coasters ever (if not THE best).

Nope! I love rollercoasters!! The faster, higher, and steeper the drops the better I like them! :D
