Who are you???
My name is Lisa and I'm 29 years old (soon to be 30). I am a full-time Accountant Aide with the New York State Retirement System. My job entails data entry and monthly reconcilliations of international purchases and sales of stocks and foreign currency. I am also a part-time student at Siena College working towards a bachelors degree in Accounting.
My boyfriend and I just bought a house in Albany, NY and we've been spending most of our time working on it. We have 2 cats, Muffin (a pure bread ragdoll) and Mittens (has 6 toes on each paw) who are currently staying with my parents until we finish painting. I am an only child and I have no children.
I like the beach (not sunbathing), traveling, and amusement/theme parks. In the winter I like to play with my cats, plan my summer vacations, watch football, and go to the movies. I am about an hour away from The Great Escape and 1-1/2 hours from SFNE.
My favorite coaster are:
Wooden: Phoenix
Steel: S:ROS at SFNE
Inverted: Talon
My other favorite site is www.themeparkcritic.com. My username is Shortcake.

Name: Craig
Age: 14
Location: near Denver, Colorado.
I turn 15 on the 7th. If you probably haven't figured it out already my favorite food is pudding. I am also a big fan of Dave Matthews (going to the concert on the 11th!) and I also enjoy the sounds of Matchbox 20. When my home park SFEG isn't thrilling me, I go to my home water park, Water World. (which is ranked 5th in the country!!) I'm pretty much a full time student (except during summer, of course). In my free time I enjoy playing basketball, running, playing ice hockey and a good game of racqetball with my friends. My favorite summer past-times have been lazing around the pool, late night parties, and buying and eating candy for no-good-reason-at-all. Finally, my favorite ride is Mantis.

Hi
My name is Mike and I am 16. I'm going to be a Junior at my high school. I play football and wrestling at my school and have already got my Varsiy letter. I live over two hours away from my nearest coaster. I like all sports whether playing or watching. I also love to shoot off fireworks. I like all kinds of music and I can't wait to go to the Blink 182 concert on July 4th. Thats about it for me.

Name is Joe. I am a 26-year-old banjo-playing vegetarian currently living Columbus, Ohio but originally from the great state of New Jersey.
I'm employed by a well-known university in the field of horticulture research but my real love and ambition is ecology and conservation biology.
I like gardening, music, camping, hiking and long bike rides with the one I love. I like watching the steady progression of spring wildflowers and the thrill of capturing that perfect picture of the red admiral butterfly perched delicately on the purple flowers of the blazing star. I've been known to skip a coaster for the chance to sit in a field and watch the aerial acrobatics of barn swallows over a mid-summer meadow.
I like the smaller, traditional parks and hope to get to several before this season is out. I might need to refresh my hookey playing skills to do it all.
everything's better with a banjo

Hi, my name is Kellen, like it says right above my post. And here's just a few things about me.
Age: 16
Sex: Male
Residence: Diamond Bar, CA, an hour from SFMM
Occupation: Student @ Diamond Rach High School
Hobbies: Drawing, Video Games, RCT, Sonic the Hedgeog, Basketball, Soccer, Track, Rollercoasters (but I'm sure you could've figured that out)
I also like acting. Although I'm not a big star or anything like that, I have had a little part in the movie Dave (starring Kevine Klien and Sigourney Weaver) if anybody's interested in checking (I play the little boy in the homeless shelter, that the president, Kevin Klien, talks to and does that magic trick to).

Erm, I'm James. As you may have guessed, I'm also a male... Er, I'm 15, and I, uh, like punk rock, and basically anything played on 97.3, for you Cincinnatians... I'm also addicted to Diablo II, and I just got the expansion for more life-wasting fun. Yeehaw...

REDWINGS 2002!!

REDWINGS 2002!!
My name is John and I live currently in Upper Arlington (the rich area of Columbus) Ohio. Born in Chesterland Ohio in 1973, I grew up at Geauga Lake.
I was concieved on a rainy night in front of a fireplace with chocolate candy and white grape juice on a bear-skin rug.
My love for rides began earlier than I can remember. Though not a coaster buff for starters, I enjoyed flat Rides at carnivals until my early teen years, eventually getting into coasters into college. I have now been on 169 pemanent coasters and about 14 portibles.
I majored in art in High School and attended the Columbus College of Art and Design and now have a BFA in visual communications. I work for the Columbus Dispatch designing ads and being a production artist. I write poetry on the side and can do all types of artwork....Painting, drawing, charcoal, pastel, watercolor, etc.
I drive a 1989 Honda Accord LXi with 136,120 miles on it, I love to eat KFC, and my rear end shows it!
My measurements are: 40, 32 and 6.5.
I have over 740 CD's and 38 DVD's. I love all types of music. I love DEPECHE MODE, THE SMITHS, MORRISSEY, THE CURE, NEW ORDER, GARBAGE, TEARS FOR FEARS, SUNDAYS, DAVID STEWART & BARBARA GASKIN, BILLY BRAGG, PUMKINS, JAMES, A-HA, JOURNEY, SAMPLES, U2, ICEHOUSE, LIGHTNING SEEDS, ERASURE, PET SHOP BOYS, FLEETWOOD MAC, GOO GOO DOLLS, CARPENTERS, METALLICA, BEAUTIFUL SOUTH, MARION, GENE, ELECTRONIC, RECOIL, MATCHBOX 20, THIRD EYE BLIND, and many, many more.
I yearn to learn more about ride construction and I have done ride models.
I collect Transformers and Beast Wars, I have over 300 of them, and I love to play with LEGO. I have two roomates and date a wonderful woman. I also dabble in the stock market.
I want to get a better paying job soon, a 2001 Honda Accord V6 EX, a house and the laser eye surgery.
I pay my bills on time, except when I am late.

Man. My kids are older then most of you. What the hell am I doing here? Oh, yeah! I'm a coaster junkie, and have been since 1972, when I was 13 (do the math). My wife and I plan on riding most of the coasters in the free world while we still can.

So many coasters - so little time.
