YeeeeeeeHAAAA!
Hi, I'm Steve and I am a coaster.
"Hi Steve"
I live about 15 minutes from Busch Gardens-Williamsburg, but have yet to
ride Apollo's Chariot. I've got a season's pass so it's only a matter
of time... I have ridden AlpenGiest and, while it is a good inverted
steel ride it has almost no negative G. Even the first hill turns
before it dives, which makes even the drop positive. Eh.
My favorite? I agree with the National Amusement Park Historical
Association (NAPHA)'s ranking (that I saw in the 3-hour "Thrills,
Chills, and Spills" Discovery channel marathon on Sunday night) the
Thunderbolt in Kennywood - Pittsburgh, PA. While there I also rode the
Steel Phantom and, while exciting, it was also a neck-snapper. Not my
favorite kind of ride. I stay away fro the Big Bad Wolf (BG-W) for the
same reason. Headache every time... BG-W also removed the Draken Fire
when they put in the Apollo's Chariot. From what I heard they got too
many complaints from riders...
Hands up! WOOHOOOOO
