No one wants to go w/ me, so, I'ma thinkin' of hitting it up on me own, anyways (Sat 20/08).

It usually just ends up being a pub-crawl/ride-fest (I'm a certified ride-junkie) but, I really laughed @ the Super-Dogs, last time I was there (what? 3 year ago?....)

FYI: The wooden roller coaster @ the PNE was voted the 3rd best wooden roller coaster in N. America by the North American Roller Coaster Federation in (oh, was it... '94/'95?...) because it had sooooo much "air-time" (the amount of time you float out of your seat).

Wooden roller coasters are like old men: they are stiff, slow, and rickety @ the beginning of the day, but, after some use, they loosen up and become faster. Which is when the brakes come into play, when the train starts traveling a bit too fast through the circuit.
Moral?: ride the coasters @ night when they're @ full-tilt!

Not to forget the Wild Mouse!
Scary-ass shit, in it's design, but, even MORE funky knowing the damn thing has been sitting in the rain for a couple of decades, now....
*LOVE* that shit!!!!!!!!!!!

As far as Canadian roller-coasters go, though, you HAVE to make an effort to hit up Canada's Wonderland and ride BEHEMOTH!!!

*_MAJOR_* Airtime!!!!!!!!!!
