Hey where are all my adoring rollercoaster fans? You're supposed to look at my pics (or pretend to look at my pics, that's ok another rollercoaster website update) and then come back and fawn all over me how wonderful they are.

I'm not here for my health, after all. Wait, no, I am here for my health! That's why I need some cyberlove from my friends here!

Ok. I gotta confess. I haven't visited your site because I feel like I already know what's there and I don't want to change the visuals you gave me by PM. They were way too exciting! I told you how I feel about roller coasters! Don't wanna over-do it, ya know! hehe

Howsomever! I'm still a devoted and adoring fan of yours! another rollercoaster website update another rollercoaster website update another rollercoaster website update another rollercoaster website update

There's more where that came from. Just let me know if and when you need more "adoration," ok? another rollercoaster website update

I love rollercoasters! Now they are a memory, unable to ride anymore I can still keep the "thrill" alive in memory.

I have visited your website before, and had not went to the roller coaster part recently. I went there today and (off topic) visited Cedar Point, and it really brought back momories of my younger days. another rollercoaster website update

At the park I rode the folowing coasters- Iron Dragon (it was newest at my last visit, I think?

The Mine ride

The Gemeni - as I remember it was worth the wait

The Blue Sreak

The Corkscrew- That was from what I remember the first upside down coaster I rode, and rememer thinking of it going spiral over the walk way. It was increadable

And Last But not least I remember riding "The Demon Drop" which I didn't see. Is the Power Tower a new version of " the Demon Drop" It sounds like it. I remeber going so slow up to the top of the Demon Drop Then to the top, then out forward into the air, and then drop I had never experienced anything like it. I think there were four or six of us sitting in a horizontal row. The line was long, and as soon as it started it was over but the wait was well worth it.

I loved Cedar Point it was really increadible experience.

I have more Parks to visit on your web page- Thanks for helping me remember the " good times"

Take it easy

Peace~ CHRIS

Demon Drop is still there. It is the same idea as power tower sort of but different enough that they haven't gotten rid of it.

They have a demon drop at my local six flags also (they call it freefall, it is part of a stunt show theme in the warner bros lot) and we always like to ride that.

Thanks everyone.

I know that some of you don't like or don't care about coasters... that's fine and is why I said it was okay to pretend to look at my pics another rollercoaster website update

Sometimes I just don't feel like posting an "i had another crappy week" post. Whenever I start one of those all the subject titles come up in my browser form and i realize it is a lot of the time just the same thing over and over. i still need to post that once in a while just to vent but i don't want to overdo it.

{{{{{{{{{{{{Dave}}}}}}}}}}}}}}} I know what you mean about it getting old posting "crappy week" things, but when you gotta, you gotta. These coaster posts keep you thinking about pleasant things. another rollercoaster website update

Hi Dave,

You are really doing great with your website! I understand wanting people to pay attention to it - I'm the same way with mine. I have suggestions and pleadings for people to leave me a comment all over the place. That was the point in even having the website - needing approval or at least someone to notice that I exist.

And your approach asking people to look at your website is totally appropriate and much better than the way I just tack one of my stories on somewhere in someone else's thread because I'm too shy or something to start my own thread, disguising it as giving support to the person who's thread it is (like I did just now I guess). another rollercoaster website update

Dave, you really are a great guy. Thanks for everything you do to help people here - you have been a big help to me and others too.

Hi dexter

Nice website,I just went there. I am very fascinated by rollercoasters, I can't ride them though, I have this thing about going really fast and upside down.

Did you ever see the remake of The House on Haunted Hill. In the beginning there is this bad rollercoaster. That looked cool, holograms, manicans in seats, made to loose limbs and things.

Hey I was finally able to look at your update, cool! I love coasters, if I ever go anywhere on the east coast I know where the good parks are. Those are great pics. My fav coaster is here in California though "Top Gun" is still the best in my book. another rollercoaster website update. Again, great site!

Yea in fact it was on TV again recently. The coaster in the beginning is a real coaster (although the real one doesn't fly off the track!) it is Hulk down in Orlando at Universal I think.

Everytime I see that movie I get all bogged down in the beginning... I mean, with the "fake train" going off the track, where does it land? And then how do they reload it for the next group of people? Even the crazy elevator up took too long! Coasters have to move people! Long line! Movie stars! Swimming pools!

I have the ride capacity stats you can see that most coasters do about 1500 to 2000 people per hour... and there are still very long lines for these. Any coaster that starts in a tower, NO ELEVATOR!!! Would be able to move people through fast enough! They just have winding staircases filled with people on the way up another rollercoaster website update

Anyway I'm glad you like them... there will be more coming as I finish up. I went through my Hershey photos today (so much for the "break") and they're not the greatest photos. When I get to Kennywood I have some great ones of the new coaster there that I never posted.
