Wow!! Holiday World is world class.

And as I mentioned earlier, you didnt even realize you were doing that speed. Especially if the majority of motorists around you are going the same speed.

You are right though, that people going slower than the flow of traffic are a far more danger. That is why when you get on a highway in the Chicago area, you better keep up with the cars and trucks that are pushing 80 mph plus.

I can vouch for Chicagoans not obeying speed limits. When we went to SFGAm last year, I was going 10 over the limit and STILL being passed like I was standing still. I had to speed up to 15 over just so I didn't feel so much like a hinderance to traffic.

I remember driving in Chicago during Christmas time and I had my mother in law in the car with me. A fresh snowfall blanketed the city and she was freaking out because I was doing 90 on the Kennedy expressway heading out of town. Thing was, if I was going to do anything less than 90, I was going to get run over.

People up here in Wisconsin have a special dislike for Illinois drivers because they invade our state every weekend, like we are their damned backyard, and they drive like crap the entire time they are up here. The other weekend driving home from the Dells I thought I was in Illinois because those were the only license plates I saw.

Illini, keeping the Wisconsin economy alive and kicking! Cheese can only do so much, you know.

And hey, you're welcome!

Yeah, right. Like you've never driven I-94 anywhere west of Jackson. Warp speed nine, baby--warp speed nine.

I once got high-beams flashed at me from a State Trooper for going 72 in the fast lane. You wish I was making this up.

Cant blame Moosh for this one.

The culprits are Nasai, Sparky, and heck, I contributed to the hijacking of my own HW love thread. :)

Back on the "Title" Topic , Holiday world is so wonderful that my family wants to go back on a DAY trip even though it's a 4 1/2 drive from our house.

Now for the highjacking..... I'm sure the 41/2 hour trip could be shortened if we drove 80-90 MPH. Of course the trip would still be long.

Dang You Tennessee roadwork, DANG YOU!!!!

Ramming your face into the bottom of a swimming pool is not very fun.

We live 4 hours away and we're making a day trip to HW this weekend to celebrate my husband and my sister's bday. My sister has never been to HW and I'm so excited to share it with her!

I injured my knee almost a month ago, and haven't ridden a coaster since. I'm having serious withdrawal! But I'm walking ok now and can't wait to ride Raven and Legend!

I have never been to HW, but it is in the top 5 of the ones I must visit soon. I think next years SRM might be the time.

As for speeding, I am a Maryland State Trooper. Keep telling yourselves that 9 mph over is safe and you wont be bothered. In fact I look forward to seeing all your faces trying to get to SFA a little quicker on my shift.;) Frankly I dont have a set speed at which I pull you over, it all depends if I feel like getting out of the car ;P

I may hijack a lot of threads but I'd never hijack a Holiday World thread.

nasai, my guess is that the real reason behind your SFGAm TR being overdue is your reluctance to share your and Sparky's "Kodak Moment" with everyone else! ;)
