Coasting alone vs. with a buddy

I usually go to all the parks with my girlfriend (see my picture in the info). When I get to the gate I'm as bad as an 8 year old kid running for the coasters. She's always telling/ yelling at me to slow down. We ride everything and it's good for the company. I'll ride anything in a downpour but she'll opt to sit 'em out. I'll also sit on an empty coaster for rerides. After 20 minutes or so she'll want to go someplace else. We still have a good time though.

A few times this year I did Dorney, Hershey and Knoebels myself. I usually find another coasternut to talk to and ride with. When I'm flying solo thats when I take advantage of being the single rider. "Excuse me is that seat taken? Mind if I hop in?" :)

Not Too Shabby For A Summer

I prefer going to a park with one other person. Usually, it's not a problem, even if they're not big coaster fans. They know I love them all, so I they usually just wait in line with me, and then step through the train and meet me at the end. I love going to parks with my sister. While she's not as big a nut as I am, she'll ride anything, and we had a great time at CP this summer. I did end up going to CP once and SFDL once by myself, and it was OK. I liked being able to hit tons of rides, but it got a little lonely. For instance, at CP by myself, I hit MF twice, Magnum twice, Mean Streak once , Gemini 5 times, and Power Tower...by 4 PM. And nearly 2 hours of that was waiting for my second MF ride. That was nice.
