KickTheSky 100 - Trip overview...

Yes, not only am I ripping off CPlaya's 100 idea, but I am also using his trip report format to do it!!! This trip really was about hitting 100 coasters so it became my own personal 100. This trip was originally intended to be a business trip for some seminars out in L.A. but the way work scheduled it (on purpose I might add) I didnt really have much work to do. They just wanted me to relax. On top of that I took a few extra days of vacation time as well to start the trip out. So without further ado, here is the overview of the trip using the infamous CPlaya BulletPoint format!

LEFT HOME: 5:30 pm 8/13/2003
ARRIVED HOME: 11pm 8/21/2003

MOST PROFOUND DISCOVERY: California has to be the line jumping capital of the world. Most parks won't do a darn thing about it either, and that includes Disney.

WORST EXPERIENCE: Waiting for two hours for X when I was in the run to the ride at the beginning of the day.

MOST PLEASANT SURPRISE: Getting to ride a coaster on my L.A. city tour I took!

BIGGEST DISAPPOINTMENT: Magic Mountain. The whole damned park.

MAJOR NON-COASTER ACTIVITIES: Work related seminars and an L.A. city tour complete with seeing the movie star's homes. How much more tourist can you get?

BEST NON-COASTER RIDE: The L.A. Freeways! They really werent as bad as people make them out to be. Chicago is much much much much much much much worse. I had a nice shiny Sebring convertable for the trip which made the drives even better.

OTHER COMMENTS: Not much else to say that won't be said in the individual trip reports...

On to day number 1 and 2 at Knott's Berry Farm

Dude, if you're gonna knock off my style, knock it off right. That means adding forward and backward links in each TR and whoring it in your sig line. Oh, yeah--don't forget to stop somewhere in the middle and never finish.

The CPlaya 100--6 days, 9 parks, 47 coasters, 2037 miles and a winner.....LoCoSuMo.

Well I got the forward links in, I will probably throw in the backwards links too eventually along with a master link section on this thread... then again, I am stalled in the middle of the trip, just like you were so...
