The worm at Flamingoland was pretty far out there and I am not even sure if we took the best path either. We had to cross some weeds just to get to the damn thing.

When we finally got there the operator asked "How many times do you want to go around" to which I quickly replied "We only need one!".

Ah ... the life of a whore.

Dreier Looping in it's heyday. Later it was moved to Flamingoland and operated under the name "Magnum Force". I really liked it when we rode it in 2002.

oh yes the Lightwater day, **such** a smart idea to NOT go to bed the night before... hmm yeah real bright.

I still think the moron ride ops from The Ultimate still win as the funniest on the trip for the A$$holes with their crazy dj skills. And then was them riding in front of us with no restraints, standing up, and smaking their arms into a tree :D

Yeah Clint, GREAT typo there. :roll: :lol: Cameron shush! You were with us until like 1am, hypocrite! :) (I should also point out that if you're getting up at 5am, and are still in the bar at 3.30, staying up is probably a good idea, beats oversleeping anyway!)

That picture of us on the coach is priceless, we were soooo tired that morning. I had my "grumpy pants on" as Clint would put it.

Still miserable at the lack of pictures of the frantic search for Larry's belongings. And those women flashing... :P

Enjoying the pics so far Jeff!
