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:

:wah: Hahaha that's true I can't see him selling for much if anything on Ebay, though they do sell some really wierd and bizarre things on there!!

"Insanity" wasn't finished when I was there...but we did ride the other three.

WOOO HOOOO!


Oh, Its finished! I've never had so much fun!

You have to include Speed the Ride as well, as that is brilliant!!

They took down the High Roller?! :-3

MGM used to have one. they took it down in 2000.



This is the one at New York New York. According to rcdb.com it's called "Roller Coaster."



OOOOOOH! :wah:

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.

This is "Speed" at the NASCAR Cafe. Is this the One you meant Chris?

You did?



So did I! I went when it first opened. HUGE line! It was a bit of a let down.

Yep that's the one that's next to the Sahara. It's not too long, but that 360 loop is fantastic!!

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.

Hmm I think I have heard of this rollercoaster, isn't it supposed to be in the top 10 in the world? Anyways I would love to go on that, it looks like so much fun!!

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

hmmm, I don't remember it...remember the texas Giant...We were in Texas for a family re-union and a gang of us went to six flags for the day....it was SO much FUN!!! hard to believe it was 10 years ago!!

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...

So, there are 2 Six Flags over texas??? I went to the one in Dallas/Ft. worth.

There's only one but it's Officially in Arlington. It is closer to the Dallas/Fort Worth area though.
