wanting to ride coasters again
have you ever ridden a really good coaster at a park that you can only get to once in a long while, and had to leave or something before you could ride it again?
a couple of days ago i went to KBF and rode Ghostrider and i wanted to ride it again but we had to leave early so i never got a chance and now i want to go back soon but i probably won't be able to :( *** This post was edited by Wackokid on 6/23/2001. ***

Believe it or not, I've only ridden Millennium Force a single time - we waited 2 hours for the ride to open and break at the same time, came back when it reopened to wait another hour, and most of the rest of the time it was raining or had a huge (3 hour) wait and we just didn't feel like it, great ride notwithstanding. *Editorial Note, this was last year, we aren't going back to CP this year*

Sure did, but only '96 (Merchandise/Raptor Cart), '97 (Sweep/Disaster Transport), '98(Iron Dragon/Sweep). I still want to work there again, though, but it probably won't be for a few years. When we went to visit last year, we only had Starlight tix + 1 full day, and with our great luck it rained most of the time. Ah, well, the worst trip to CP is better than staying at home! :)

NITRO, ridden only three times. I went to SFGAd as a side trip from Coaster Con. It stinks because Raging Bull isn't as good. Also, Steel Force is a coaster that I will probably never ride again. But luckily I have ridden it 55 times of 2 days.

Gwasi and Kumba at BGT.
We were there in March. Gwasi was the first coaster hit that day. Kumba was closed until the afternoon (part of annual maintenance had it closed they said). I got to ride it once. By that time my wife was feeling kind of ill and we also had to head out to get to her grand mother's place (about 25 miles south of Tampa). So, only got one ride on Kumba and did not get to do any rerides on Gwasi on our way out as I had hoped.
Also, closer to home, went to Hersheypark on opening weekend. We were with friends so did not have much say in what order we went on things. By late afternoon my wife's friend said they were going to leave (her boyfriend was dead tired, having worked the night before) and my wife and I had to get to the hockey game, so no rides on the Comet were had.
No problem with the Comet... Hershey is 40 minutes away. I'll get there again before the end of the season. As for Kumba... next trip to Fla will probably not be until 2003. Hopefully will get to Tampa again (since my grandmother-in-law lives there) and have another shot a Gwasi and Kumba (and hopefully get to drive down to Dania Beach for the Hurricane).

Coasters I've only ridden once include: MF, SoB, Alpengeist, Loch Ness Monster, Batman Knight Flight, Big Dipper, Raging Wolf Bobs, American Eagle at SFGAm, Viper at SFMM and Revolution, among others.
It always seems like something, whether it's a sick wife, bored wife, bored friends, weather, shut-downs, etc., keeps me from riding some rides again.

Let's see there are a few.
Kraken: I only got to ride twice on the best designed steel coaster I've been on. And neither ride was in the very front or very back.
Montu: What I feel is the very best of the Floridian coasters (that I've ridden), only got one ride :(
The Legend: Okay, okay, I *did* ride like eleven times during SRM, but when you are talking about the coaster most suited to your personal tastes, no amount of rides is enough!
