Coasting thru the winter

Well coaster season in the midwest is over. Time for the non-riding funk. I will need to travel far away, ie west coast, or head indoors, Mall of America maybe? I will definitialy need a winter escape this year. Sure hoping both my kids reach 54" before next season. Parker is 1/2" short, Noah about 2". Come on Growth Spurt

NoCoasterCon is on the horizon now. Its a an all day event in January where we gather (300+) to listen to park reps talk about next seasons surprises and coaster events, watch videos put together by coaster enthusiasts, and be on the look out for freebies (which are always appreciated).

I dont look forward to the 8 hours in hotel conference straight back chairs. Have to bring my ass pillow again (not roids, tailbone pain). Last year some guy got a coaster seat and made and office chair out of it. He sat in the that all day long. Looked dorky but secretly was envious. I heard it was from Superman at Geauga Lake.

Always a great time. Have to buy the requisite 2010 Coaster Calendar which I never to hang up. They are nice pics. someday I will make framed photos of them.

Always fun to see what outrageous outfit Marty Moltz will wear. Hard to believe he is a real Judge.


Well the 2011 Coaster for Six Flags Great America has started arriving. Its the former Chang Standup from Six Flags Kentucky Kingdom. Rumor is they will make it a sit down instead of standup. Not sure why it is waiting on 2011 for installation though. Rumored themes are super hero based, bizarro superman or green lantern. no one in the know is saying.

Intimadator 305 is looking pretty impressive at Kings Dominion. Might have to finally get there in 2010. Looks like a nice park.

Looking forward to Hollywood Nights at Holiday World. Havnt been there in 4 years. Can you believe I have only ridden The Voyage once? Just sad and wrong. New seats will be an interesting change.
