Yes, I’m late. No, you won’t read this. I’m back in the hospital, cut me some slack.

Six Flags Over Georgia is just about the only theme park I’ve ever been to. That said, The Ninja is my favorite coaster ride. The Monster Plantation was always one of my favorites, too, and I’ve heard it’s been renovated, which makes me sad.

Bill, I remember the Looping Starship fondly, and your story is hifrigginglarious.

A long time ago, before many of you were born, there was a place in San Jose, California known as Frontier Village. It had a dark ride called The Lost Dutchman’s Mine. It was the only ride that scared me, probably because I could’t see how it worked. The place is long gone, torn asunder and condo’d over. I hoist a Fun Fizz to your memory, Frontier Village, you truly were “The Fastest Fun In The West.”

The only theme park ride that comes to mind is Star Tours at Disneyland CA; actually, it’s sort of a default choice just because I haven’t been to any other parks. I haven’t been to Disneyland since June 2003 (Grad Night), but I’ve wanted to go back. The funny thing is, living in the San Fernando Valley, I’m about equidistant to two major theme/amusement parks, Universal Studios Hollywood and Six Flags Magic Mountain, neither of which I’ve ever been to, and neither of which is more than 20 minutes away by freeway if traffic is good.

@Jaclyn Oh yes, their haunted house is one of the great classics of the park. I was afraid of it as a kid, but after reading Matt’s tribute to Castle Dracula, I learned not to take a good Haunted House ride for granted, and started enjoying it.

Yet, I’m still afraid of the Haunted House version of that 3D-XD ride I mentioned. I’ve learned to appreciate Haunted House rides with the traditional gimmicks, but a Haunted House ride with state of the art 3D CG might still be pretty scary. *blush*

I am a coaster junkie my favorite rides are: Bizarro at Six Flags New England and Nitro at Six Flags Great Adventure. Bizarro is just one of the best rides ever and Nitro is a sentimental favorite because I had to take the walk of shame off of it and spent years trying to lose enough weight to ride it.
