    Deodorant - roll-on/stick or spray?

    Areolas? That's odd :wink:

    Coasters that seemed ahead of their time

    ^ I'm guessing he meant to say first LIM launched coaster, which would be true. In that sense, it could be considered innovative, but not ahead of its time.

    Deodorant - roll-on/stick or spray?

    Stick, since it also often works as an antiperspirant. Makes you smell good and keeps you dry.. 2 benefits are better than one.

    Top 25 Favorite Movies

    ^ Meh, I don't think it's quite as terrible as people make it out to be. As per usual for a Pixar flick, the animation is pretty stunning at times and there are enough in-jokes and subtle points of humor to entertain older viewers. The main problems I have with it are that the plot is fairly...

    "Now Showing"

    Boogie Nights Even though I heard this movie was supposed to be good, I was still surprised by how much I liked it. Just very well put-together in all aspects, and almost Pulp Fiction-esque at times in the way it blends violence & comedy to create tension.

    Top 5 or 10 coasters in your home country

    Going off of Ian's idea, this is my take on the top 10 "must-ride" coasters for the US (some of which I admittedly haven't done & am listing based on reputation): Boulder Dash Top Thrill Dragster El Toro Bizarro Millennium Force X2 Phoenix Outlaw Run The Voyage Magnum XL-200 So yeah, there's...

    Do you like the pain?

    Spot on. Cyclone at Astroland rides much the same way as Nash, I'd imagine. Plenty rough due to age, but enjoyable because of the layout and airtime. Meanwhile the Hurlers may very well be two of the worst coasters ever constructed.

    Do you like the pain?

    Do I enjoy actual pain? No, it ruins the ride. I don't rate Skyrush that highly, for instance, because despite its amazing layout, the restraints smashed my thighs and disrupted the experience for me. Intensity-related discomfort seems to be something that I can handle pretty well, though...

    Most theme parks visited in a year

    2012 takes the cake as my most active park year, with 7 different parks visited: Funtown Pier Casino Pier Six Flags Great Adventure Hersheypark Busch Gardens Williamsburg Kings Dominion Dorney Park So not that impressive compared to most of the responses already put forth here. But this year...

    Best and Worst Roller Coaster Manufacturer

    ^ Sorry, but I don't think you can really challenge someone's opinion on a ride unless you've ridden said ride. For what it's worth, I actually don't think Mean Streak was all that bad either. Not great, by any means, but not as terrible as most people make it seem. I'm the same way with...

    Six Flags Fiesta Texas | "Iron Rattler" |Steel Hybrid

    Hard to get a sense for the speed it's going to have through those jiggly bits and airtime hills on top of the cliff before it dives over the edge again. Looks almost pedestrian in the video but I'm willing to bet it's going to feel like anything but that. Also a little disappointed that it...

    Interesting Hard Rock Park article

    In all fairness, your photo is from the Freestyle Music Park days, when attendance was even worse than when it was HRP. Really, I thought the park itself was alright. Yes it was small and the ride selection was very limited, but the level of detail that went into the theming and atmosphere...

    Liquid soap or Bar soap

    ^ Same here, my skin feels really tight and dry after washing with bar soap. Shower gel & liquid hand soap all the way.

    Favorite Coaster Trains

    Guess I'm jumping on the race car train bandwagon we've got going on here, but I also think iSpeed has some pretty slick trains. Hollywood:RRR's also look pretty cool at night.

    Showering.

    Exactly the same for me.

    Six Flags Fiesta Texas | "Iron Rattler" |Steel Hybrid

    ^ This is where I'd ordinarily make a joke about your mother's jiggly bits or something like that, but this is a family-friendly forum. :wink: Um, but yeah, I really really really REALLY can't wait to get this ride into my life.

    Top 25 Favorite Movies

    Man, that's tough to pick just 25, much less rank them. I guess my list might include these movies in some order: Goodfellas The Dark Knight The Fugitive Pulp Fiction The Good, The Bad, and the Ugly The Shawshank Redemption The Big Lebowski Fight Club The Sting The Bourne Identity (really I...

    Thrift Shop

    Meh, it makes for a good party theme, anyway. Everyone shows up in the most ridiculous outfit they could dig up from Goodwill for $20. Been to two of these now and both produced some quite hilarious results.

    What do you think will be the best new coaster of 2013?

    I'll be doing both Iron Rattler and Outlaw Run, and of the two, I'm slightly more excited for Rattler. Both look dead sexy though. It's really a toss-up.
