88-Year-old grandmother loves Diamondback at Kings Island

Hopefully in 30 years, I will be just like that granny and still riding my favorite coasters.

As Jan and Dean put it, "Go Granny, go Granny, go Granny go!"

Go grandma! I am 38 and can't even IMAGINE what kind of cool s*** that will be available in 50 years!

I am nowhere NEAR a power-rider! I could probably last a while on Diamondback, though. :)

I consider myself a power rider, but like Jeff said you get to the 7-10 range and the forces from the ride really mess you up. I made it for ERT one morning and had 8 rides within 45 minutes, which sounds awesome, but ended up making me get some lunch and taking a long break from the coaster. I always thought that I could ride diamondback all day, but it just never happens. Most rides I've gotten in a day is 16. I can ride the beast and voyage more consecutive times than diamondback.

I tried the power rider thing once. It didn't work out.

^^Oddly enough, and despite my love for coasters above all else, I think I found myself arguing on another site in favor of significantly lower coaster counts at parks in exchange for making the ones that remain really interesting.

It was this site, sirloindude.

I hope I can still ride coasters in 47 years when I am 88. Actually I meant to say 67 years! ;)

I hope I'm still alive at 88. :)

I hope we're all still alive when I'm 88.

I hope I'm dead by 88.

No Gonch, you will still be here! You are going to outlive all of us! :)

That would be the irony that is life.

I want to host SNL when I'm 88.

I subscribe to the wisdom of Pete Townshend..I hope I die before I get old. (although I realize my signature can eithe agree or disagree)

He and Roger sure didn't.

Maybe by then they'll have Fast Pass-away. ;)
