Hey all,
My lovely monkey and I spent our weekend flipping upside down, bouncing up and down, and screaming at the top our lungs (then we left the hotel room).
This was Knott's Winter Coaster Solace #6, a very fun, freaktastic event that makes me even goofier than normal, and this year it was capped off with a all day visit to Disneyland and DCA.
During the ERT (Exclusive Ride Time) on Silver Bullet, we had a streak of 14 rides without getting off the train - that's 84 inversions in just one lil portion of the whole thing. We got fed lots of good food, had some good drinks (thanks Darkbeer, and a mysterious figure from Texas who seemed to know us really well), and won a few things in the raffles - Monkey won a wheel from Jaguar (it's like a big plastic donut, only it doesn't taste so good). I won an opening day kit from Silver Bullet (A fanny pack, with a wooden case inside, with a silver bullet inside), a set of pins from Cedar Point (yeah, I've got multiple pins from one of the crappiest pieces of crap that ever crapped on God's green earth - Mantis), tumblers from Geauga Lake, and my favorite, a framed picture of Silver Bullet from it's opening day.
Well, my brain is more like a big gob of jelly at the moment; the whole weekend was an awesome blur of rollercoasters and food.
Oh, Mad Tea Party - Hat Dance at Knott's POOPS all over your patheticness - I saw a double amputee girl spin her Hat Dance sombrero faster than a whole teamload of football players can spin a teacup now.
