Of these I did everything new up to the Gemini. I did not get to go to CP in 1978. In fact I had to wait until 1980 to ride it. Demon Drop scares me more now then when it was new. I find DD much scarier than Drop Zone or Power Tower. Soak City never really was something at the top of my to do list but the newer additions, especially the Flume Zoom, make SC a lot better.
Snake River Falls is fun. I worked at CP in 1993 and it was a hot summer and we had a lot of beat the heat nights. I actually got to see them officially open it with the vps taking the first ride. Probably still one of the best rides of this type in the world.
Power Tower scared me when I waited in line. The shot is more fun and that's the side I usually ride since the line is usually much shorter. But the drop side is more thrilling. I worked at CP its first year and we had many opportunites to ride the ride before it officially opened to the public.

3 year millennium i know you're counting by fives but millie is important
Wow, then it's the 1 year anniversary for Wicked Twister! 7 year anniversary for Mantis! 9 year anniversary for Raptor! They were all important too! Should I continue...?

What is most anticipated event of 2003? the debut of Dragster, the release of Metallica's new album, the release of Terminator 3, or the release of Matrix:Reloaded...tough call.

How 'bout the -73 day anniversary for Top Thrill Dragster? ;)
