Michigan's Adventure

WHEW!!! With all this news, it's a good thing we have a fresh Podcast coming out of the oven next Monday!! :) ;)

Well, I'll definately be helping their numbers this year. Being in Lansing, we tend to alternate depending on the year between Michigan's Adventure and Cedar Point. This is a Mich. Adv. year. The sub thing in Muskegon sounds kinda cool too considering I have two boys that would be into that. We'll be certain to spend some time and money here this year.

A little rehab and return to 2002 form of ST and it might hold its own a little better and entice us long distance travelers to visit.Chuck, not hearing good reports the last couple years. That coaster although almost totally out and back is incredible. expecially in a light rain or at night.
