Enthusiast coaster & amusement park chatter about whatever. If it's not about coasters & parks, it'll go to the garbage file. Keep it on-topic and flame-retardant, please.

I really didn't take too many photos as I was busy riding. If I had it to do over again I'd have given my camera to a ride op and asked them to take some photos.

Enjoy

I returned to the Eagle tonight for my first rides since the marathon. The rough spots really aren't rough at all when you're only riding a few times.

I forgot to mention one of the best perks of the marathon. Once the park closed to the GP we were allowed to keep a drink on the station floor right beside our seat. When the train would pull into the station our drinks would be waiting as the train came to a stop. All we had to do was reach over and grab the drink. Pretty cool.

Gee, Greg...sounds like the *pretend* service we had in early May along the mid-course brake. You remember, don't you?

What fun we had !

That sounded like a really cool experience.

I am envious that you had such a memorable time.
