"Ride Em, Cowboy
he thinks he is too old at 25?
I saw a gentleman in his 60s ride the Boss at Six Flags St Louis and that was for a total of about 3 hours of exclusive ride time with ACE. The Boss beat up several younger people, including my brother, but Jack(I believe thats what his name is) kept right on riding. He gave me hope that I can ride coasters right into my golden years:)
Anybody at the ACE event at SFStL on July 21 & 22 and remember whom I am talking about?"
Right on!!!! I sat next to a Hispanic gentleman, also in his 60s, on Viper at Magic Mountain once. He was with two teenage grandchildren, and I was sitting by myself with my wife and her cousin (to answer the topics question) in the seats in front of me. He decided not to wait for "the kids" and grabbed the empty seat. On the way up the lift hill he told me he'd already been on Riddler, and Batman, and hoped Viper would be as exciting. To make a long story short, Viper was pretty rough that day, but at the end he let out a "Whooo Hoo; I want to do that again". It was cool to see!
