Kudos to you. I never had the balls to ride the big guy rollercoasters like the Cyclone even thou it's pretty much the same as the Sling Shot. But true, I heard the ride is $20. Add just a few more bucks and I can get me a good-looking American Eagle shirt. Yea, I'm cheap.
I only wish some of our cars would look that gritty...
*Edit* Scratch that, the 32s gets the job done in that catergory.

Me and a few friends decided to hit Coney this evening. Checked out the new rides, they seemed pretty good. The beach was live with so much butt as far as the eye can see. The breeze and water definitly cooled us off. Didn't swim, just went in deep enough for the water to reach my kness.
As I was on the this morning I decided to take a peek of the operating cab out of boredom. Sure the train was moving but the speed meter just read "0". I know that "back then" many m/m had no other choice but to operate by feel and many do today but wow...
Randy and his fellow bike riding friends just pulled off another one of their block-long wheelies. There's literally not one day that passes during the summer in which I don't hear motorcycles roaring down the block. Everyday it's like a bike show. :cool:
