Things I learned @ media day:

It's really nice to put faces to names, and all of the fansite people I met are great: Wade, Diana, Stew, Phil... the list goes on and on...

El Toro TRULY is the best coaster: the headchoppers, the airtime, the drops, the turns, the lifthill, the smooth steel coaster-like quality...

A really BIG "thank you" to EVERYBODY involved...

Agreed!

I would like to extend a huge THANK YOU to Six Flags Great Adventure, Kristin, Angel, Keenan, Wade and Diana (and Everyone else I missed!) for extending this privilege to us! It was a FANTASTIC EVENT to celebrate a FANTASTIC Ride! I also want to say, it was GREAT finally putting faces to all the names we see online every day!

Here are some of my pics from Today:

The Bull-riders in the Station (With a certain Pilot in the Background!)


The First Drop (And Second Train on the Transfer Track)


In The Loop was Recording Live From the Queue.


The line when I left at 2:45 was extending outside the Queue!

And one for you Di:

Rode this ride during its soft opening on Sunday. Waited 2 hours in the hot sun, but it was so worth it. Probably the best coaster I have ever been on. Very good ride.

I'm in one of the pics somehwere.

Memorable quotes of the day by Keenan:

"Maple Grove Beat It"
"They are a different race"
"There's not many of us left, they outnumber us"

Great day, great weekend, great times.
Great Adventure...taking over the world one record at a time.
