My thoughts of you did not involve lying on my back with an erection, I promise.

Well, I know I am no MBC

I really liked X but haven't been back since they redid it. I am pretty upset since X was one of my fave coasters ever. Oddly, it didn't freak me out. What does freak me out is that tall one that feels like you are going a mile up in the air on the first drop. Is that Goliath? Whatever it is called, that is one I would never do again.

[Ghoulish Delight]

Goliath is JUST on the edge of how hi I'll go. Any taller than that and I'm out, but I can hold it together for Goliath.

Goliath was my second favorite behind Tatsu. Height isn't an issue for me. Plus, don't you find that Tatsu feels higher than Goliath because you are looking straight down most of the time?

I rode Goliath 15 times without leaving the train for a special event.

It wastes all that good momentum with hardly any airtime and high g helices that aren't fun.

Tatsu is just about a perfect layout, imho - excellent pacing, smooth motion from element to element, and the best part of the ride isn't the first drop, but the giant pretzel loop nearly 2/3 of the way through the course.

I haven't ridden Tatsu yet. Haven't even seen it.

But for me, it's not the height as much as the slow climb. Superman? not a problem. Maliboomer, no issue. But that interminable climb where I just have nothing to do other than watch the world get smaller and imagine giant gusts of wind or small planes losing their barings. Goliath I can just handle in that regard. Supreme Scream at Knott's was too much. I don't know which one's taller, but the slow vertical climb had me paniced. I pretty much stopped breathing half way up.

By the way, it's fitting that you started this thread on our anniversary about the site of our first date. Should have let us know you were going*, I would have given you a map with a guided tour of all the places in the park we've made out. It would have looked something like this.

Spoiler:

Man I love that carrousel.

Anyway, that was after the first date. The tour became much more straightforward after the second date.
