I can guarantee you that the answer to #10 is not D. I was on that "excursion" with Jeff, and the answer is C, but it almost turned out to be D ;)

10 depends on if you count "this year" as the coaster season or the calendar year. Granted, didn't PKI close the weekend of my wedding?

Yes, Neil, I think I was successful at navigating that nutty city of yours (with your directions, of course). Just don't drink heavily the night before hand so that you get the ****s while trying to get into the damn parking lot, only to side track to the McDonalds and leave a nasty surprise for the cleaning people...

Millennium Force laps: 50

Is #4 laden or unladen? =)

Don't worry about that, Jeff, that McDonald's is classic. Going there beforehand is a local tradition, no matter what the situation is.
