Makes absolutely no sense


It makes perfect sense. The ride seems to get a little shaky in the helix at the end and I sometimes end up with a minor headache after I get off the ride. At the same time though, I'm not going to not drive a Mercedes because there's a dent on the hood.

As for taking pictures, I was at the park with one of my friends one day and he asked me if I had any pictures of people on my camera that I intended to take a picture of. Since I was taking pictures of rides all day, I didn't. My come back though was that he never asked me to take a picture of him and I don't just take pictures of random people.

If I had a time machine, I'd hit a few other parks first. I'd really like to see what Cedar Point was like before it had any coasters, and what the Switchback Railway was like. I'd also really like to see how Riverview was through the years. After reading so much about it, it seems like it was an amazing park, right in the middle of Chicago. Too bad it lost the land wars back in the 60's.

^^Agreed 100%. Oddly enough met a man yesterday at Busch Gardens Tampa waiting for the Scorpion who's first coaster was the Bobs. His first ride was at the age of 8 in 1951 and he is still riding strong into retirement.

With a million dollars, you would be lucky to get a coaster train, or a carnival Dragon Wagon.

You make a bunch of asinine comments on a fan website, get your self banned, and then go out and make a Facebook page telling people who arent even part of the site, to boycott it.

You could maybe build a halfway decent backyard coaster for that. Definitely not getting anything like Demon though.
