  1. Great report! I've been to the park around the arch, but never up in it. I've heard about how small the "pods" are, so it was neat to see them. I'm sorry if I missed it, but how long does it take to get to the top? I'm not entirely sure I could ride for too long in something that small and crowded. It's too bad about the river cruise being cancelled. The area I where live is also right on the Mississippi a few hours north of St. Louis. Flooding has been terrible this year! As always, thanks for sharing!
  2. Great report, thanks for sharing! The zoo is absolutely wonderful. I'm hoping to get down there for their zoo lights this holiday season. I've really enjoyed reading through your detailed reports! You share such great pictures. I'm looking forward to the rest of the installments!
  3. Great report as always! Thank you for sharing. It was especially enjoyable on this cold day with 50mph wind gusts. lol
  4. 1. Name 3 of your favorite roller coasters, but not your top 3. American Eagle, Shivering Timbers, American Thunder (I have such a hard time getting my daughter to ride coasters with me, but she loves American Thunder) 2.

Your favorite 2018 park addition (ride, food, show, etc)? Since I only visited my home park, SFGAm, I don't really have one. If I had been, I'd like to think it would have been Steel Vengeance 5. What ride exceeded your expectations the most in 2018? Lobster. It's running so well these days 6. Best meal/food at a park in 2018?

Based simply on what I want to ride, Steel Vengeance 8. Name one park you will definitely visit in 2019. SFGAm, and hopefully Cedar Point. Haven't been since 1997 9. Best ride themed to a bird?

You're in Orlando and magically have a 1-hour ERT session on 1 coaster of your choice at any park in the city. You choose... I think I'd go with Mako 15. Holiday In The Park vs. Winterfest. Who reigns supreme? I've only been to HITP at SFGAm, and I was quite impressed. I can't wait till the next one! 16. Mystic Timbers mystery shed or Wicker Man fire infusion?

What are 3 things you enjoying doing at your home park other than riding rides? Grabbing a beer and people watching, watching my daughter ride rides, just walking the park listening to the sounds 26. What is your second favorite Cedar Fair park and why? Michigan's Adventure. Shivering Timbers! Plus, it's been way too long since I've been to Cedar Point, so.... 27. What is your home park and give us two good reasons why we should pay it a visit. Six Flags Great America. Clearly. lol It's been a theme for my answers. I know people like to knock SFGAm, but I think we have a pretty good collection of coasters and flats, plus we have Goliath. It may be shortish, but packs a punch. I love the stall. 28.

A map and often a sports bottle or souvenir glass 34. Best wooden coaster over 110 feet tall? (rcdb will help you) Of the ones I've been on, Goliath 35. Have you ever been hit with something (loose change/a tree/vomit/etc) while riding something? Nope 36. Skywarps: credits or no? State your case. Sure, why not? 37. Turkey legs: nah or yaaaaassssss? Yum, so yaaaaasssss! 38. What is the most recent B&M that you rode? Raging Bull 39. You can eat nothing but corn dogs, churros or funnel cake for the next 48 hours, which do you choose? I suppose corn dogs 40. Post a great on-ride shot of you from 2018. (DO IT! I'm cheating, here's one from 2017. I'm in the green, riding with my daughter!
  5. While the clues did sort of point to a coaster, I'm surprised it actually is a coaster and not a water park expansion. However, I think it looks awesome and I'm super excited. Looking forward to watching this thing go up.
  6. Great pictures of a park we don't see often. If I was ever in the area, I'd definitely stop there for a visit. Thanks for sharing!
  7. Thanks for sharing your trip. Looks like you had an amazing first day! I enjoy the detail in your posts and am looking forward to reading the rest.
  8. I agree about the lighting. I've seen a couple other videos posted as well, and I think it looks great!
  9. I've always wanted to hit SFGAm for Mother's Day, and this year I finally made it happen. It was a great day for me. My 11 year old daughter, Molly, is afraid of heights, so not too keen on coasters unfortunately. With the short Mother's Day lines I'd heard so much about, I was able to get on several big coasters I hadn't been on for a while. I waited less than 10 minutes each for Raging Bull and Goliath. I hadn't been on Goliath since 2016. Having only been on twice before, I kinda forgot how much fun it is, even though it's a tad short. It really makes me want to get to Cedar Point! Again taking advantage of short lines, I got my first spin on Joker this trip! I thought it was fun, but I don't think I'd spend too much time in line for it. 5 minutes was all I had to wait this time. American Eagle was the longest line of the day for us at 20 minutes. I also grabbed rides on Superman, Batman, Viper and Demon, and Little Dipper with Molly. I'm hoping they'll be done painting Whizzer before we go next time. My daughter likes the spinning flats, so we did multiple rides on Hometown Fun Machine, Lobster and Fiddler's Fling. HTFM really seems to be feeling it's age. It takes forever to get up to speed these days and it feels like they've shortened the cycle. Lobster on the other hand is running great. I liked Orbit, but I'm so glad they decided relocate and keep Lobster. We ended up leaving around 5:00, due to the 3 hour drive home and having school and work today. Next year I'll take the Monday after off. lol Here are just a few random pics. Here's the remains of Pictorium from STT A couple random shots from above. Hangover looks pretty tall from this view I think. Pictorium from the ground Whizzer support poles on the right were recently painted. We saw them priming this area 2 weeks ago when we were at the park. I've always enjoyed the area by Whizzer and HTFM I love Arrow corkscrews, so had to grab these shots. I was surprised they ended up opening Yankee Clipper and Roaring Rapids. I do like the colors they picked for Hangover. Classic "I visited SFGAm" pic. lol
  10. Lagunitas IPA is one of my favorites! I'm enjoying a Sam Adams Rebel IPA
  11. I'm echoing the sentiments; what great photos! Thanks for sharing.
  12. Oh my gosh, thanks for sharing! I've had a couple beers this afternoon, unfortunately, I'm nowhere near a slide of death. lol
  13. Thanks so much for posting updates! After seeing videos and updates from previous years, I know Oktoberfest must be absolutely amazing! Enjoy and thanks for sharing!
