In early June Greg game me a call that he had been invited to Evel Knievel's media day at Six Flags St. Louis.  I of course said "heck yeah" when he asked if I wanted to join him.  The thing was we needed to be at the park at 6:30 am which I jumped at as it's rare to get to be up at the crack of dawn riding coasters.  So I planned on leaving work a little early (I work all night long, I'm a night owl anyway) and heading on south.  Well with the Mississippi rising and levees failing between here and there I wasn't so sure where I'd be able to cross so I left work even earlier and headed on down south.  I got to Greg's in plenty of time to get online, check the Negative-G Forums and grab a shower before heading to the park.



We got back to Evel Knievel just as the sun was peeking over the horizon. 



Any day that starts out with a view like this is going to be a good one.



When we got there they had been testing the coaster and setting up the camera rig for the media day.  Greg and I wanted to hop right on but we had to wait just a little while longer.
