Morning Mumblings

It’s brisk and sunny outside today and although I’ve had enough winter and snow at this point I found it pleasant outside

oh yeah, and unless you had your head strapped on, it would be completely torn off your head. (strapped on it may just severly strain your neck)

Listening to the amount of energy that goes into spinning the fly-wheel to accelerate 6 tons to 120mph in 4 seconds is unbelievably scary/sexy. Sooo much power.

And such a phallic design ;P Seriously though, if you like coasters... this one is a trip. Hell of a short ride though :P

Tell me about it.. just check out the power source for a monster like that:

I use to like the big coasters until one shook the hell out of me. It was the coaster at Bush Gardens in Virginia. It actually hurt my neck. I stopped going on the big ass coasters after that.

I like big coasters, they're smooth to ride..
What really hurts my back/neck are wooden coasters... Sheebus! I know with a bad back I shouldn't be riding coasters at all, but the wooden ones remind me of why not >_<

Maybe the one that shock the hell outta you (you had the hell in you?) was a wooden one?
Those suck majorly >_

Nope. It was the Aplengeist. I'll never ride it again.
