LOL :)
What do you expect from a kid wearing Cre-Ho shirts :)

Chuck

That's my boy....thank Gage for mentioning MY ride at Great America. Oh, and can I stow away in your luggage when you go to Germany? :)

"The Munster monster"? ;)

603 coasters at age 11?! I wonder if his parents are looking to adopt a 30 year old who likes to travel. ;)

funny pic: claims to be a (prohibited) on-ride camera use, but is probably photoshop (strange perspective on rails in the back)

My guess is that it isn't an on-ride photo. He probably took it at one of the ACE events where they had a walk back. It could be that the person who wrote the article sees him with track in the backround and assumed he was ridding.

Good job, cool article d00d.

Way to go Gage. Caitlyn isn't far behind, and Casey will be destroying you all someday. :)

BTW, I believe that photo is from Rumblefest when the attendees got to tour the ride. *** Edited 11/6/2007 6:11:57 PM UTC by Acoustic Viscosity***

So what is his favorite coaster? He first says it's Millennium Force. Then at the end of the article it says his favorite of all time is The Voyage. WTF?

You've not met his dad...

Seriously though - I assume you refer to the top five list at the end of the article? Nowhere does it state that that list is in order of preference - maybe you should read it through again before ripping on the kid.

Now, that aside, how would you like your grapes - red, green or sour?

Hell there was lot taken out of context. You know how papers go. You can't believe everything you read.

KaKa isn't even one of his favorites and she was asking what was the fastest coaster he has ever ridden and it got put on the list?????

Thanks everyone else!

Get in line behind Gator, he has been begging for years now! ;)

Craig

^Caitlyn will adopt me before you ever get around to it...LOL!

I think I still have to wait until *she* passes my count...I think that's the rule regarding adoptions, right? :)

Thank goodness age doesn't come into it! ;)

P.S. I still want to know how Gage "rode" KRumbler without a coaster TRAIN??!!? Nice caption... ;)

lol, my first thought when I read the part about KaKa was how much Craig thought it sucked. :)

Aska was demolished in 2006, guess thats why it says of all time. However I have seen photos of it, no clue how it could be in this kids top 5.

Seeing photos is hardly the same as riding it, though. Aska was a great ride, I can see it.

Way to go Gage! That's my boy! Great article!

For all Chicago people. Set you TVs for Friday morning between 5-7am on CBS 2. Gage and Caitlyn will be interviewed live!!!!!!!

This is going to be fun.

Craig

That is so awesome! The next thing you know they will be on Oprah. ;)

-Tina

That'll be one of the episodes with Dr Phil I presume? ;)
