How did you start and end the 2001 season?

In '01 I started out on Incredible Hulk, and ended on Troika @ CP cause the Magnum crew closed entrance 2 minutes early.  Asses.  For 02 it'll be something at Disneyland Paris on February 23rd, then a week later I get Knott's and SFMM.  Good start to the season :)

Rode hard and put up
wet. Aint down but i cant get up yet. Its a long ride back to the way i want to feel.

started with Nitro ended with Batman the ride

I started with Rugrats Runaway Reptar at the PKI media day in May.

I ended with a front-seat ride on Desperado in November.

I'll probably start next year with a ride on Raptor, unless I get invited to the Tomb Raider: The Ride media day.

You can't spell "dishonorable" without "honorable."

My season started on a chilly, windy Monday in March at Sea World on Journey to Atlantis (Kraken was closed because of the high winds... but we caught it on Friday).

It ended on a chilly Thursday night in October on Hersheypark's Comet.  7 rides in a row (the last three with out even getting out of my seat), to close down the coaster for the night (and also for my year).

2001 Ghostrider........X...Ghostrider.

2002 Started with SFMM Viper, and a baker's dozen rides on X.  As for the end of 2002....Xcelerator perhaps?  Ghostrider is more likely since it is on the way out of the park.

Xx22 so far.

Started: Top Gun: The Jet Coaster at PC

Ended: Top Gun: The Jet Coaster

2002 will probably start with: Superman: Ultimate Flight at SFOG or Top Gun: The Jet Coaster!

If you don't include daily test rides, I started with Nitro and ended with S:ROS at SFA....if you do include test rides, I started with Batman:The chiller and ended with Robin:The chiller

OK this is really sad because I didn't get to go anywhere this year...

I tihnk i started with California Screamin at DCA, and ended with Speed: the Ride at the Sahara hotel and casino.

I started off this year well... Ghostrider at Knott's on January 5th, 2002... closer to January first than mid-June at DCA...

I hope to end it with the same coaster, or something at SFMM...

LOL!  I had no idea you were in our group!  Way not to introduce people, Sean... :)
I was the one who *didn't* fall over playing DDR, lol!  And Python Pit rocks!
What a fun, fun weekend.  Good to see all of my friends again!

Started with Cyclops at Big Chief's, ended with Shockwave at SFGAm.

I'll start my 2002 season on Gwazi or Montu in 72-76 hours from now.

I have no signature.

I didn't plan any major coaster trips at all for '01.

I started with PT @ VF on opening day and ended with WT on a cold day ( translate:  loose midcourse brakes!) on closing day.

In between I hit 3 new parks (Lake Compounce, MA and DP), discovered my two new favorite woodies by far (duh....guess which two) and had a great season considering I hadn't really planned on going anywhere.

This season should begin with Dueling Dragons on spring break and probably end at WOF. If  I purchase SF passes, it'll be SFGAM instead.

Pretty sure it started with Top Gun.  I always start with top gun for the official season, its just tradition.  I ended 2001 with the second to last ride on Goliath on New Years Eve.  Very sweet.  I started 2002 on Space Mountain, New Years Day.  Well, actually the first ride was Indiana Jones.  Very cool. 

Start: Greezed Lightnin' at Astroworld Job Jam (Jan)
End: The Incredible Hulk at IOA (Nov)
[first wood: Texas Cyclone (March), last wood: Dania Beach Hurricane (Nov)]
Only month I didn't ride a coaster was December, never made it out to Holiday in the Park at SFoT.
This year, I'll be starting my coastering at Astroworld this Saturday for Winterfest (ERT on a couple rides).

Hmmm, I cannot remember what I started on in 01, I think it was S:ROS at SFNE. Ended at Dorney Park on Talon. This year has already started on Hulk, Dragons, and Kraken.

I ended 2001 with a trip to a great park.  Wild Adventures and ended my 2001 season with about 40 rides on Cheetah, What I consider a great coaster :)  Jan 31, 2001

I started 2002 with BGT on Jan 1, 02 and IOA on Jan 02

 

Chuck, who encountered no lines and is thinking of making the first week of Jan a regular vacation slot!
