Age range of this board?
45. Though I know I look much younger--a lot of strangers tell me I could pass for 25. Of course, I have to pay them first...
Yep, I've been insane about amusement parks since my first visit to KI in 1973. I remember when I was 9, I told my dad that someday I'd write a book about them. Sure enough, decades later I did. And a screenplay about them. The comic strip is still a work in progress...

39. first visit was in '89.
You boneheads need to learn how to roll up the extension cord for the fluggegecheimen when you're done with it!
I think all of us old folks have intimidated the younger crowd from posting. ;)

When I was 4 I asked Santa for the bumper boats to put in my backyard. Instead he gifted me a season pass.

No, but my wings are tired. :)
Although I'm still laughing too hard from the Monty Python witch post to care.

34. First year I went was 1982, been there every year since. I have hazy recollections of the Frontier Lift, Avalanche Run, and the Sky Slide. I remember the opening of Iron Dragon and Demon Drop quite well.
From my first visit I clearly remember the Moon Buggies, getting "stuck" on the Cargo net in Kid Arthur's Court (Dad had to come rescue me), and riding the Jr. Gemini over and over while my Dad ate vinegar french fries from the Happy Friar. I also remember the Dodgems quite well, as I broke rule number #1 and ran towards the exit and fell, covering my self in some black grime that never did come out of my clothes.
A week or two ago my parents took their boat out off the coast of CP, and my Dad remarked to my Mom "Our son really likes this place, you think that has do do with us?"
Gee ya think?
I'm 44, been going to CP and KI yearly since around 3-4 years old and I did NOT get to ride the Jumbo Jet so I'm jealous of Captain Bob. I had been on a hiatus with only a couple scattered visits to both parks over the course of 10 years due to having small children. Back this season with passes for the first time and have found myself becoming obsessed reading about CP on this board.
Rcoaster10, I've enjoyed seeing your park ideas and I'll say I'm even more impressed at what you've come up with at 14.

I'm 21, my first coaster was Blue Streak when I was around 8 or 9 but I didn't really start to ride coasters until 2009. And wow, I've been on this forum for almost 5 years now I think.
