Sounds like you had a fun trip.

One minor correction, the top spin at Adventureland is a Moser.

I really like Adventureland, something about that park that just appeals to me. Tends to be a really laid back park, if you ask most of the time they will let you take your camera on the Space Shot to take pics. And generally for the final hour or so of the day you can pick a seat on Tornado and sit there for the rest of the night (at least when I go early/late in the season and crowds are light. Sidewinder the Moser frisbee ride is really good also along with sawmill splash, depends how they have the pads arranged in the trough, but it can spin at incredible speeds.
Favorite Wood Coasters: The Voyage, Ravine Flyer II, Thunderhead, Balder
Favorite Steel: Voltron Nevera, Steel Vengeance, Expedition GeForce, Olympia Looping
Parks visited: 232, Coasters Ridden: Steel: 894, Wood: 179, Total: 1073
