Should I hold my new ride count at La ronde to only 5 so that Bd could be my 100th coaster? LOL

La Ronde has a lot of bad rides I`m sure I could pass on.

Do what you want. I've never made any effort for "milestone" rides. In fact, I have no idea what any of them are except, I think the kiddie coaster at Kings Dominion may have been my 500th, depending on what I count (duelers, racers, flume coasters).

you should try and get the kiddie coaster Marche du Mille-pattes as 100.   That would be a milestone. lol

Dragon is totally LAME! We waited about an hour for it. Total waste! I don't think we managed a ride on the flume, which is kind of shocking considering we're both kind of flume enthusiasts too. It wasn't a very good day at the park. Long lines, Horrible operations, missed some credits. We saw Dainan there though! He loves that place.

We went the weekend after PPP that year. W went to Marineland at opening on Sunday and stayed there for about 2 hours (rode Dragon Mountain about 5 times), then hightailed it back up to Wonderland and played from about 1pm to 5pm, then went to dinner why they closed down to prepare for Haunt. Then we went back from about 7pm to midnight. It was a great time. We got all of the credits except for a kiddie coaster I think. Stunt Track was closed until about 11pm when we finally got that. We rode Vortex and Behemoth three or four times each and everything else once, except a re-ride on the powered mine train, because it was so badass. We even got on the Sledgehammer flat ride and did pretty much every haunt, including a show.

Would it surprise you to find out Thunder Run is considered to be neutered in comparison to how good it used to be?

So PPP isn`t always the second weekend of Oct.

Did you ride Sockwave... Best flat there is

No Shockwave. We didn't want to throw up!

I think PPP was early that year because of when the weekend fell. It's always the weekend of the Covered Bridge Festival, not necessarily the second weekend of October.

Had Moosh not passed, I would have done CMania.  As it stands, I'll likely be doing the Point in July now.
