    This gave me a good chuckle. Posting to Facebook. :)

    For the baked bean eaters...

    Pardon an uncultured American, but what exactly is a 'jacket potato'?

    MLIA or FML?

    If you want some real entertainment, I love reading FailBlog and EngrishFunny. Both are top-class sites, I could easily spend an hour. :D

    Would you ride this? (Dodgy looking rides)

    Yep, I would ride that. Whore is me. :)

    Amazing offride footage of X2 seat rotations

    I love, love, love, love, LOVE X2's onboard music. In fact, it's shouldered past California Screamin' as my #2 onboard music for any ride (right behind Space Mountain). The best part, IMO, is at the brake run at the very end. It almost feels cinematic! :shock: And it also features a...

    Nerves?

    Never on a roller coaster, ever. My friends either call me fearless or stupid. :p Drop towers, on the other hand, can make me scream like I've just gazed into the depths of Hell!

    Rides You Just Can't Be Bothered With?

    Ever since I threw up after riding a Zipper, I stay far, far away from these. :) Curiously, I'm just fine on X2. Weird...

    When those 13 people are well-travelled, seasoned coaster enthusiasts, then yes, I believe that that's legitimate enough to form a ranking. When you read a movie review, chances are you give a lot more attention to what Roger Ebert thinks than the review from the Southern Hickster Daily. ;)

    ^ That's actually pretty disturbing. I know that the two shuttle loop variants (flywheel and weighted) run very differently, I wish there was a way to split those two up.

    Mini Trip Report: Two Hours at Disneyland

    So yesterday I had a few hours of spare time after finishing all of my homework and studying and whatnot, so I grabbed my Annual Pass, car keys, and made a quick 20-minute dash to Disneyland for the evening. There are some benefits to living in Southern California, believe it or not. Of course...

    What Parks do you know like the back of your hand?

    Hmmm... Disneyland Resort Magic Mountain Knotts Berry Farm, although not quite so much. Yep, I'm a destitute Southern California resident. :)

    Swingy Spinny thing, seating direction

    Outwards. I loved Gyro Swing at Lotte World but found La Revolucion at Knott's to be a little average.

    Why is it so absurd to let a ride stuck in the boondocks (i.e. Eagle Fortress) get its fair chance? Why shouldn't it be praised if it deserves that praise? And I've been on Eagle Fortress and Atlantis Adventure...not as part of 'the elite' but by myself on a trip a few years ago. They...

    ^ Iron Dragon isn't that bad, actually...apart from its incomprehensible boringness, there's nothing terribly wrong with it. It's just resolutely average.

    Conclusion: Southern California sucks for coasters. :(

    You know you're CF-ing it too much when...

    When you remember bygone stuff like Multicoaster and DragonKhan and feel special about it.
