PPP roll call - just wondering...

My first PPP was fantastic - Twister was the most intense wooden twister since the original CI Cyclone (including Legend AND Ghostrider, and I am a certified CCI addict). Underground tunnels are something special when you live in FL! Phoenix had more airtime than I could believe. Easily my top out-n-back woodie. The ride-ops had as much fun as the "enthusiasts". I use quotes because it was actually INSANE - too much fun. So, on to the point: how many buzzers attended this year's event, and how many would I know from their URC/RRC aliases... almost forgot, is Moxie really cough syrup mixed with Zima (yuck)?!?!!

I was at PPP this year. My third one actually. :) It's funny that I wasn't at more of them considering I live about 20 minutes from the place. I didn't post on URC or RRC for about a year or so chances are you probably don't remember me. I'm not sure about the Moxie I tried it at last years PPP. That was enough for me.
-----------------

This year my my 10th or 11th year at the PPP, and not even close to being my last!

I was there! It was my first PPP and it was just as awesome as everyone told me it would be. Not only was the Twister running better than I have ever experienced it, but I finally managed to master the Flyers. Learning how to get the cables to snap was a real thrill!
And Moxie truly is the nastiest thing I have ever drank!

I was there, my 2nd PPP and certainly not my last.

I read RRC regularly, and occasioanally post. Not surprisingly, my id is gregleg (more specifically gregleg@gNrOeSgPlAeMg.com). I also lurk on URC but haven't posted.

I'm glad to hear that everyone who attended had a great time... for me, words can't describe how much fun it is! Despite the fact that the crowds increase each year while the number of people in costumes decrease (the first time I went there were about 300-400 people in attendance), the event just gets better and better.

Hopefully I will meet some of you next year, since I KNOW you'll be there!

It was also my first year and it was a blast. Phoenix was out this world (I love the airtime) and Twister was great also. I use the same name on URC, but don't post too often. Can't wait to go back next year!

Hi! I was there, I met a couple CoasterBuzzer's and hung out with alot of CB'ers and RRC'ers all weekend. I post here as "RobCoasting", on RRC as Legendary182@aol.com (Rob Vaccaro) and on URC as Rob V.

I had a blast hanging out with Joe C (the original "Legendary") Natalie Villani (AirtimeSRoS) and it was nice meeting Brad Sherman (Arrow Guy) too. PPP was a blast, and I hope to meet more of you next year!

I KNOW everyone that was there saw me, because I was the yellow "highlighter-head" Coaster-Con.

i'm sure next year, it'll be some other color.

I was gonna go for reddish orange, but then people would think I dyed my hair, just for Holloween. that's not the case :)

Raven-Phile, the CoasterCons were cool! (the other large groups of costumed PPPers were the coaster-ghosts of designers past, and the Coaster Chicks of New England). Jill says we WILL attend next year, but that we have to wear costumes...OK by me! BTW, I was the one with six eyes (my two, my glasses for two more, and the bloodshot eyeballs given to me by a couple of grim reapers that I attached to my glasses)...made the rides interesting to have an extra set of eyeballs bouncing around my face...

I was one of the coaster-ghosts actually. Arthur Looff to be precise. A lot of people didn't seem to "get" our costume. Oh well, there's always next year! This was my first PPP, and it has made me a believer. I can't wait for next year. I'll be making this event an annual must-do. I'm also looking forward to SRM. :)

I got those costumes! One question though... there seemed to be one nameless "ghost" in your group... who was he supposed to be?
