I didn't read the story at first but I caught the onride photo and I was shocked to see that lady riding. I think that's really awesome and hope I'm still riding when I'm older.
For my father in law's 70th birthday, he, and his 80 year old brother and I are going to ride Titan at SFOT. Both of them have been on it before.... and BOTH of them still drive faster than that coaster when they're behind the wheel... :-O

I hope that if I live that long I still love rollercoasters and continue to ride them.*** This post was edited by xTTDx 7/19/2004 4:12:49 PM ***
