Who are you???
Well anyway my name is Corey and i'm 15.
(If you don't feel like reading all this crap but would still like to get to know me then IM me, my sn is RllrCstrDude187 )
I live near SFWoA and too far from CP. Since I'm 15 my only job is school which really sucks cause I don't get payed to go. Although I sometimes help my brother clean some trucking company building every week. Its real easy and it only takes an hour and most of all it gives me just enough money to make it to all my favorite amusement parks. I want to find a better job before I'm turn 16 next July that way I'll hopefully be able to get a car and I can drive to CP or SF. I really don't do much throughout my day except for sleeping on the couch and watching the Simpson's. Other than that at school i do Cross country and track. I was also gonna try the ski club but i never did. There's more about me but i'm too lazy to add it all so like i said, if you want to know more IM me.
Fav. coaster: the MF'er
Fav. Woodie: Villian at SFWoA or lightning racer at Hershey. It's hard to decide but I might just go with Villian if I'm in the front seat.
Fav. Park: Definitley CP. That is the most awesome park
First Coaster was the Villian. I rode it toward the end of 2000. And in the beginning of 2001 i went back to SF and really really quickly got interested in rollercoasters. Either i was meant for coasters or it was because my friend dan was interested in them already and he practically brainwashed me into liking coasters.

Still rock hard!

Does this thing go faaaaaast!

Watashi ha Robu Desu. My name is Rob. Like all of you, I too enjoy riding, and reading about riding coasters. I am 35 years old, married, have 3 kids (which to this day freaks me out), and play drums for a living. Who woulda thunk it? I get to travel a lot, and I have ridden a ton of coasters, many of which as a youngster. I have moved many times in my life, so I have witnessed both coasts, as well as Europe, and Japan. I love Japan more than anyplace else in the world, and if I had my way, I would become a citizen. My band is great! Check out the link below for more info on me. Later

I also play drums. I've been playing for about 5 years. My favorite drummers are Neil Peart (Rush), Keith Moon (The Who), John Bonham (Led Zeppelin) and Mike Portnoy (Dream Theater/Liquid Tension Experiment/Transatlantic).
I'm Brett, I'm a 20 year old student from Pittsburgh, PA (only 30 minute drive from Kennywood!) I'm studying Civil Engineering with the hopes of one day becoming a designer of these great machines we know and love. And beyond too - my dream is the first park where every aspect, from coasters to flat rides to landscaping to lighting is designed by the same individual/company. I didn't start riding til I was 13 (dragged on Magnum by a pretty face ... ) and I haven't had the time to stray very far from Pittsburgh to ride (mainly cause by self-choice I have been very independant and don't ask my parents for much for the last 3 years that I've been in school - so high-cost trips are usually out of the question.)
I think that Kennywood is the greatest park there is, although Cedar Point comes a close second. I am also a huge hockey fan and I love punk and ska music.

Geez...interesting thread but it will take days for me to squeeze enough time out of work to read all the posts. :) Anyway, I'm Jesse, 23, student at the University of Arkansas but I'm working as an intern at a nuke power plant right now. I have another two semesters to go before I get my degree (most people would be getting their Masters at my age) -- I used to want to go into the coaster biz but I'm not so sure anymore. I spend much of my time reading and studying. I'd like to ride coasters more but there's not much nearby and I don't have the time or money to take many coaster-riding vacations.
Park: Holiday World. CP has lots of great rides but I also consider crowds, hospitality, etc. If I could spend a day anywhere I'm going to HW.
Wood: Beast, Legend a close 2nd.
Steel: Mantis, Kraken & MF close.
Want to ride most: Nitro, Riddler's Revenge, Colossos @ Heide Park.
Dream job: Doing control systems work for Consign AG, but the industry is likely too selective for average guys like me. Maybe someday...

My other car is a Giovanola!
Since my original post I was laid-off. Instead of going back to work in the same ol' situation, I chose to return to school. Film school. :)

I've traded in my 2000 Giovanola for a 2002 Arrow X4D :)
My other car is now an Arrow X4D!
Hi there kids, my name is Tom, and I am 16 years old.
I live in Greenville, South Carolina. I go to M------ High School, where I am a rising Junior. I keep a steady 4.0 GPA (I'm a nerd, I'm comfortable with this fact.)
I have a job. I am a Game Room Referee at Chuck E. Cheese's. Please do not laugh.
My favorite band is Rammstein, although I have other faves.
My hobbies include: Music, watching movies, hanging out with friends, Roller Coasters (duh), and being online.
Interesting tidbit: I am a photographer. I took a photography course at a Community College where I was the youngest person to pass the course with a perfect score, as well as having my work published in a book (which one I will not indulge).
There, feel the fun.

"Enjoy your record-breaking ride on Millennium Force"
Hey, I'm Matt. I'm 16.
I live about an hour away from sfgadv, and about 1.5 hrs away from sfne. Its a tough location, but I guess I have it better then some other people.
As for me, I'm ranked second in my class, but the funny thing is I never study. I work as a pharmacists assistant, and Plan to go to Cornell or Yale ($$) after I graduate for pre-med school.
Favorite Parks: CP, IOA, BGW
Top 5 Steel: MF, Maggie, Alpengeist, Nitro, Kraken.
Favorite Wood: Cyclone (the real one), Roar, Gwazi, Lightning Racer.
I also play Drums, and the Bassoon (all state whattt). I used to be pro at tennis, but now I just swim, run, and lift.
My profile pic is on Robin's opening day with lapbars.

How much more floorless can they get?
Most people know me as Julie or Super Jewels. I am 20 years old and live near Youngstown, Ohio. I'll be starting my 3rd year of college in the Fall and I work at a Video Store.
My biggest loves are Music/Concerts, Coasters, Cirque Du Soleil, T.V., Photography/Video, and of course, the internet. I'm sure there is a lot more but that is the main stuff.
I'm into ALL kinds of music, don't know what I would do without it. I'm a big Linkin Park fan.
As for Coasters, anyone who knows me will tell you how "dedicated" ;) I am to Superman Ultimate Escape.
I am also a huge fan of TR:TR. Give me SUE and TR and I am 1 happy camper. Add a little SoB, Drop Zone and BKF and I'm set for life :)
School wise, well I'm not really a fan, but you gotta do what you gotta do... I am majoring in Arts & Technology. That's enough about school.
I am absolutely fascinated by Cirque Du Soleil. I want to see every Cirque that is still Touring/Resident. I have seen Quidam 3 times and La Nouba once. I am really interested in seeing Varekai and "O".

Hello! My name is Dawn (you may have guessed that by now-also, it has nothing to do w/the ECW wrestling manager-whoever that is). I'm old (for this site-28) and live in Champaign, Illinois and work at the University of Illinois (when I say orange, you say blue-ORANGE!) as a residence hall (translate: dorm) director which offers the distinct priviledge of actually living at your job. The summer is quiet though.
I suppose I have been an "enthusiast" since my trip to Cedar Point last September (first since my teens). Millennium Force is kind of life changing. I try not to get too caught up in ranking coasters but if I could put two in my backyard (well, on the quad) I'd take The Legend and Magnum. I also enjoy shopping, the Beatles, late 80s hairbands and early 90s "alternative", reading, and theater. and I'm leaving in an hour to take my little sister (through Big Brothers, Big Sisters) and my mom to Holiday World! Have a nice weekend! I know I will.
My name is?
I live near Detroit.
I am in my 11th semester of college and have not graduated with my BS yet. I do have an AA degree though. why? I was touring and running my own concert/theatre production company for three years. I only went to school part time.
well, thats all I feel like writing. :)
My name is Gabe, I'm 15, and I live in the middle of Kennywood and Idlewild.
I'm into Roller Coasters, video games, film making, and politics.
My top three coasters consist of Phantom's Revenge, Thunderbolt, and Montu. Although Mega Zeph is a close runner-up.
I usually tag along with my mom on her business trips, if there's a park nearby ;). I hope to follow in her footsteps, and become an engineer.
My first coaster was the Jack Rabbit, at Kennywood Park. I can still remember going up the lift hill. :)
