Awesome Di.  Thanks for posting those :).  Amazingly enough, we were both most likely at that coaster celebration and didn't even know each other at the time LOL.  I'll have to dig up a few that I took as well.  It isn't as easy because they are..... get this... on real film!

No pictures to add, but thanks to an early Coaster Celebration, this is one the few Arrow looping coasters I ever got to climb..up to the mid-course brake, up the lifthill...was fun.

I will miss Great American Scream Machine.  The park is, indeed, apparently changING.

I may be a newbie here, but I thought that this would be a great thread for me to introduce myself in. I'm Niccole and I have just recently discovered my love of coasters through Gasm... Sadly though, we said our final goodbyes this past Friday... Out of all the silly souvenirs that were available, we agreed that this was the most appropriate...

Alas, I have not written in a long time, but I had to for this thread.  Being in DC now, I don't get up there too often anymore, but here are some of my photos from years past.



















The world is coming to an end, I've actually created a blog!

Awesome pictures! They made me sad thinking that I will never be able to get any of those views in person again. My favorite picture is the one from the parachute tower. It gives a really neat perspective of the train cresting the first drop.
