I don't suppose selling lemonade or brownies will work either? :D Perhaps we could have some kind of sell, I'm sure I could find a few things that I wouldn't mind getting rid of.....like my brother for one. :wah: :p


I was going to suggest selling things on ebay...not too sure that your brother would sell on there!!

So, as Lu Lu said, Lottery winning would probably be the best...so lets all get out there and buy those there tickets...Wendy wants to RIDE!! whooo whoooo:driving:

The poolhall's a great equalizer. In the poolhall, nobody cares how old you are, how young you are, what color your skin is or how much money you've got in your pocket... It's about how you move. I remember this kid once who could move around a pool table like nobody had ever seen. Hour after hour, rack after rack, his shots just went in. The cue was part of his arm and the balls had eyes. And the thing that made him so good was... He thought he could never miss. I know, 'cause that kid was me.

Well I found that NYNY ride to be a little boring, considering it looks to be really good. Perhaps that was why there was a very small queue when I arrived there.

Well as far as I remember the queue went through the Arcade on the first floor, and it seemed that most people were more interested in those games than the ride hahaha. Was a bit of a letdown though have to agree!!

Couldnt find a good pic of the last one, sorry.



But here's another of my Favorites. The Rattler at Six Flags Fiesta Texas.



This is the first real Roller coaster I ever rode. I always manage to ride it at least once a year.



I even like the Entrance to this ride. They have a 4' Rattlesnake statue.

It might have been back in it's heyday. It's definitely one one of my top 10!

Nope, It's been up and running since March of '92.



It started with a 166' drop, but the rails cracked or something and they cut it to 124'. At first I could really feel the difference. I would be expecting to drop the other 42', but the drop was over. Got sick a couple of times trying to adjust. :yh_sick :o

Don't know if this will show up, but its the Volcano at Kings Dominion...it's a fun one, your feet hang down...I love it when your shot out at the top of the volcano and fire comes out, of course doesn't touch you...but looks like it does, from a distance...
