Your crowning/memorable moment for 2003.

Hmmm, let's see...

4) Da Midget finally clearing 48" and riding adult coasters

3) CBaby backing out of SV after a day of dragging little sis on coasters by the scruff of her neck

2) The events of July 26th, of which you'll never hear me say a word

1) The events of July 25th, which just might be the worst-kept 'secret' on the boards

That about wraps it up.

NOTE: Severe fecal impaction may render the above words highly debatable.

Oh Playa you tease! Now we all wanna know what happened!!! lol.

Mine would be the first time on Dragster with one of my best friends..front seat. Pure bliss. NOTHING can compare to that rush (see photo in my profile).

Holding two-week old Timbers and Kumba for the first time, ironically on the day I buried Janis, which was the lowest moment in my life this year.

Meeting Bill, Rob, Jeff, Rob, Moosh, Dawn, Brent, and all the other freaks at my first SRM. :-) Classic!

Getting to hang out with my brother for Christmas, who I won't see for another year since he's going to Iraq.

The first and last rides on Drop Zone and Delirium, and every one in between. ;-)

My most memorable moment of 2003 would have to be taking my first trip to CP with my best friend. It was the best time I've ever had at a park. The greatest part of the trip was finally riding TTD on the last day of our trip after entering the line when it was all the way back to the corkscrews, but only waiting 45 minutes.

Hmm...Coasterwise...

-Being absolutely freaked out by the thought of riding SOB and feeling it's pain , but it ending up being my favorite coaster ever.

-Riding Hulk in the front seat for the first time.

-The whole of Spiderman at IOA.

-Eating at Victoria's pizza at Dollywood with my best freinds.

-My tenth on the Raven , at nightime.

-My cousin's antics on the whole of my middle America trip.

-My first taste of DDR at SFOG.

-My final coaster ride of the year on S:UF in the rain at sunset.

Ahh , good year.:)

----------------
Best...Coaster..year...Evar.

Riding my first ever woody at Blackpool pleasure beach.

It was bloody awful and rough and I will never step foot on a woody again!

My most memorable moment would be purchasing my first home in the lovely hamlet of Snoqualmie, WA in August, followed by a housefire, a light flood, and a windstorm which tore half of my roof off. It's all good. ;)

My memorable coaster moment was THE WAIT for TTD in May, the day after "the breakdown." 5 and a half hours, and it wasn't bad at all! I had a friend, and 53 more coasters on my list over the next week, so I had a lot to think about in line.

The most impactful coaster moment this year was the death at SRM. It certainly changed the coaster climate for a while. I still wonder how her family is faring. Regardless, I thank my friends for making my year a blessed one, and a great time was certainly had. Just watch Corey's SRM video at www.kineticcollection.net I think that says it all, and I've referred it more than once now.

Happy Nude Year.

My most memorable coaster related moment would be riding Legend in the dark/the whole Holiday World experience.

My most memorable non-coaster related moment would be getting engaged Christmas Eve.

Congrats on the engagement!

On the Legend front, I'd have to say that Legend at night, with the new PTC trains made me a believer, and became my new #1, without a shadow of a doubt. So fun, and so terrifying.

Coming back into the station after my first ride on TTD.

95% of people moments where from TTD. Cedar Point has made a lot of people happy!

Thanks,

Ditto, 100%.

Also, congratulations Sarah! This Christmas Eve marked my one-year anniversary of my proposal to my finacee, Liz. I'm sure she has an idea of how you feel. ;)

I would have to go with TTD too. Last train, last row, 1:30 a.m.!

One year now and I'm sure you've set a date, Mike? ;)

Anyhoo, I want to throw my congrats out there for my good friend Sarah on her engagement.

I have to concur with the Legend at night comment. It was a pure religious experience. I definately saw God on the Legend that night.

Certain victory.

Now THAT'S funny, Bob!

Thank you everyone for the congrats! I appreciate it.

Yes, Vater, I'm sure your fiance knows exactly how I feel. :) And about setting the date thing, ugh, I'm not even thinking about that yet. At least not for a year. So your not alone there either. :)

For me my most memorable moment was SRM as well. Never have I had so much fun and felt so bad later.

2nd moment for me was on the way back from SFWOA with "Chucks Brother" Rob and realising boy that tire doesn't sound right. Low and behold it was almost flat. Plus me and rob trying to keep each other awake on the trip back from the park.

Hi.....whats your name again?

Yup, May 1st--just four months away! Actually, just about everything has been taken care of, down to the guest list, reception hall, and honeymoon arrangements (nope, no coasters--Carribean cruise :) ). I still gotta get a tux, though.

I have a feeling '04 will be a minimal year for riding coasters...unless the Money Fairy decides to pay us a visit! :)

Experienced my first station brake failure! It was on the Giant Dipper at Santa Cruz. We got the bonus ride and a station full of very jealous patrons. :)

Mine was becoming a coaster enthusiast hehe. Then the other was a extremley fast beast ride. Lets just say that those new brakes on the hill's arent 100% efficient.

Been around for awhile...

Meeting a ton of really cool people and making some very strong friendships this year is tops with me.

Second to that would be my religious experiences on a slew of new-to-me coasters that rocked my world: Tremors, Apollo's Chariot, Great Nor'Easter, and Timber Terror.
