the list of "Thrill rides"
http://www3.cedarfair.com/greatamerica/attractions/category.cfm?ac_id=2

i'm thinking i'll go on all them except for The stunt tower and that bungee thing. the last time i was a big theme park i was 88 pounds heavier so i'm looking forward to actually fitting comfortably in the seats and walking around the park without sweating to death.

2. i love Roller coasters, there is one at 6 flags that is awesome, hopefully

Great America will have something that will be as good.

3. I used to go there when I was a kid when it was "Marriott's Great America."

Loved it. When the big loopy rollercoaster went in, that was big stuff ...

4. Hey Fellow Oregonian

5. Hey there!

Lots of us former Bay Area peeps up here, eh?

That's right -- the Devil. I recall that now. That was the first upside-down coaster I'd ever been on.

We were just down in Calif. and took the kids to the Santa Cruz beach boardwalk. Beach and rides and chocolate-dipped cones -- what's not to love about that? :hi:

6. Oregonian

Me a true Oregonian, born and raised here!!!! :hi:

Yes the Devil was awesome.

We rode the gondola/tram and my mom got scared of the heights back then!!~!

7. Ride Invertigo for me, will you?

I haven't been in a while - I can't find anyone to ride roller coasters with. My SO flatly refuses. :cry:

8. i will, my daughter told me she wont be going that one either. I am the only one

in my house that likes roller coasters so she'll be warming the bench with my friend tomorrow or going on the non thrill rides while i go on all of the coasters.

9. If you need a seatmate, let me know

It's killing me - I once dated a guy solely because he liked roller coasters. :P

11. cool! the Medusa at Six flags is awesome! Big vertical drop and they don't tilt

the tracks at the bottom of it like they do at Disney so you get the effect.

10. Have fun!!

we live only about 1 hr away!

:hi:

[AlCzervik]

12. will do, i am really looking forward to it and i'm hoping i can get my daughter

to go on some of the bigger rides tomorrow, she usually begs off but maybe she'll give in a little and at least try one.

:scared: Have Fun!! :bounce:

14. not feeling that one, the Tower of Terror at Disney is about as close to

one of those rides as i'll get.
