^^Phantom's Revenge had nut-squashing airtime.

^Shari, thanks for usage of your kid in order to whore out Little Bill. I still feel dirty about that. :oops: I seriously hope the ops joined our site though, I think that was half of the fun of credit whoring.
-My butt has touched 112 roller coasters, how unfortunate.

Well when I rode back in June they did hardly anything at all. And if they lower the maintenance costs and keep it that good, then I really don't mind them.

Don't you love it. ;)

It's really cool to see that on a hyper coaster the last half is designed like a mine train. I'd love to see another hyper at Kennywood, they're so much fun.

Why do I still have a donkey title???

Good to hear. I was hoping that they didn't ruin that part of the ride, especially the double-down.

^ I would as well. A B&M hyper would be nice. =)

Let's just say that with repeated trips to KI about every other week, I've become rather jaded toward the place. That was until yesterday! It was great to see you all at the parks. Most fun I've had at KI in forvever.

I got to meet so many of you guys, and catch some rides with you as well...and that made my week. Robb & Elissa, good to finally meet you in person. My wife (Kelly) had a blast meeting and talking with Elissa. By the way, Elissa thanks to you, Kelly really wants to go on one of the trips in '08 which really makes me happy.

The only downside to the day was my son Josh, (he's almost 4), got his first ride on the Tornado at Stricker's, and hit his nose on the lapbar at the bottom of the first hill. Yes, he cried, but he was fine 5-10 min. later, he was happy to add two more coasters to his list, (the other was the Fairly Odd Coaster).

Thanks to all on the midwest trip for a great day, hope to see you all in '08 some time!

Looks like Nikki and I were the outcasts at Kennywood :lmao: That would be our own fault, I suppose! Hey, there's always next time! We got to meet some of you guys though, Derek, Robb and Elissa, Dave and Mary, Ted and Catrina, Mateo, and Erik Johnson! And of course seeing Micole and Paul again is also awesome. I also am quite certain I heard a "GO JAYS" as I walked through the gathering outside of Phantom's Revenge - I'm assuming that was one of the Hooters crew!

Can't wait to read everyone's TRs!

^ That was so me! I saw someone with a Jays hat on (I had one on as well!) and I actually figured that it was you even though I've never actually met you! I didn't think you heard though!

The Mid-West trip rocked! I knew I was going to have a fun time, but I couldn't have imagined it being that amazing. As great as the coasters are on these trips, it's the people that are really the highlight of the trip. I've got to say a special thank you to the Hooters Crew for making the trip so unforgettable, I really will miss all of you! I won't have anyone to shout out random Matt Damon's to me anymore :(

I'll finish off my trip report over the next few days, so if anyone still cares to follow along they can look forward to that!

Robb and Elissa, again, I just can't say thanks enough!

Haha, I figure that was you, too. What I heard was someone yelling something, and then about ten steps later I realized that it was the guy with the Jays hat yelling "GO JAYS", and by that time it was too late to turn around and say something. I actually kept my eye out for you later in the day because I wanted to say hey, but alas it was not to be!

^ Too bad we didn't actually get to hang out at Kennywood.

Just seemed like our paths didn't cross.
