I am burning off a lot of vacation days so would prefer to rendezvous on weekends, although I do agree weekdays are better. We'll be (...) (25 years ago, 9-Apr-00, to lugnet.off-topic.fun)

      (...) this is true... airtime rules. I swear, I got good airtime in the front car on the Beast, though, especially when it was just starting to rain and they haven't closed it yet. The Beast remains my #2 woodie (1), because it bit me. Only coaster (...) (25 years ago, 10-Apr-00, to lugnet.off-topic.fun)

They have been advertising a new wooden coaster open this year--the Son of Beast, it will (...) (25 years ago, 11-Apr-00, to lugnet.off-topic.fun)
