Good Night and Have a Good Slumber CP..01 memories

My favorite memory was taking my 61 year old mother on Thunder Canyon for the first time. She is scared to death of all rides, but she loved it so much she literally drug us back thru the line to ride again. Of course it was raining and cold that day. I'll be counting down with everyone else.

You Gotta Hold On!
-------------
You'll have lots of fun in 01!
Wait...or is that 02...either way,
I gurantee it!
I don't know where to start:

* To the 12 of us who completed the Gem 100.  That was one of the greatest days I have ever had at CP.

*  My 2000th ride on Magnum.  Yes the shirt was tacky but I still love it.

*  Seeing myself on the giant IMAX screen during the premier.

*  The second day of the season where I got 70 rides in 8 hours.

*  The first day of Millennium Mania where I got 80 laps in six hours.

*  The last day of Millennium Mania where Jeff Spartan and I got a solo train on Millennium Force.

*  Helping my brother and Brandon move in and out osf swedars, I mean Cedars.

* "PING"

It seems just like a few weeks ago when many of the GTTP'ers spotted Gemini's trains running backwards at the Charity Golf event...

...time does fly...

MF count: 23

This has been a memorable time for me as well. This summer was my first, and thus far, only trip to the Point, and I loved just about every second of it. What began as a family trip lead to a totally new interest for me. Such friendly faces, and incredible thrills. I can't wait to return with my friends and family next year.

And to think, a week before I went, I was telling all my friends, "I'll go on any coaster, just not Millennium Force." LoL

:) my best memories.. That is so hard to say.. well, i'll narrow it down to:

1- Meeting the world record holder for "most consecutive rides on Magnum XL-200"

2- Working next to the kewl Ripcord/Vertigo crew- you guys rock

3- Hearing all the interesting guest questions- My favorites: "Do you have to pay extra to ride the MF" & "Which one is the Magnum Force" 

4- Learning new things was also fun- i can recite the vertigo and racepark speils, as well as the autospeils from Magnum and Gemini pretty much from memory.  :)

and most importantly: 5- that tingly feeling on sunday night when the challenge park manager John Wolshuck came to thank us for all our hard work. :' )  What a perfect ending!

Skyward time check!

the near roll-back incident on Magnum

"...so Frank can moan to me how much he looooves me!"

So what exactly is Clay Soccer, Joe?

"Evan..I think this is the way they get OFF the ride.."

Magnum Barbie

"I'm losing control!"

"The line ride looks too intense for me"

"Magnum Dan, will you sign my Scooby?"

There's so many more, but Jeff will hurt me if I list them all. ;) Thanks again guys for the great season, and I hope to meet even more GTTPers next year! :)

To think, last year I wondered how they were going to top themselves. They managed!

Joe Cool Mornings:
12 front seat rides on Raptor in an hour
14 more rides on Raptor in an hour
Special Events:
CoasterMania
MillenniumMania (all four nights of it)
45 + 1 laps on Raptor
Special Perks
Special Friends and Crews
100th lifetime visit
600th Raptor Ride

I can't believe that its over already.  This was my first season pass year, and I made it there 15 times. Some highlights include:

     FINALLY getting the yellow train on MF, after riding red and blue for 18 times.....what are the odds?

     Front car on MF for the first time, before they let you wait. The couple in front of us goofed up and ran for the second car instead...hee hee  .

     Millenium Mania the first week, with 19 Vertigo launches in 2 days, awesome.

    Second week of Millenium Mania, riding The Force 21 times in the rain(the pain, the pain).Nice meeting you Coast, and thanks for riding with me.

     Riding Mantis during "Monsoon Mania" front car with one other guy and nobody else on the train...and thinking we weren't gonna clear the first loop....

     And the last day of the season, doing Ripcord for the first time and screaming like a girl. My last ride of the season was Mantis, front car, last train of the season, with the trims off, ahhh, that was so sweet...

    Well, I'm off to buy Roller Coaster Tycoon, hope that will pass the time for me til next season.

As I don't want to chew up Jeff's bandwidth anymore than I have to with my long winded comments.. My thoughts can be found here...

Thank you everyone...

According to my trusty calculator, the odds of not getting the yellow train in 18 tries (assuming all 3 trains were running all the time) is:

p((2/3)^18) = .0006766 = .068%

You should be buying lottery tickets.

CP fan since 68.

My first Halloweekends visit to the park this year was by far the best time I have had at a park in quite some time.
*experiencing VertiGO for the first time
*Telling my friend about getting shocked on Raptor...he said "I won't do it" then a second later I heard some profanities ;), that was hilarious
*2 MF laps in about 10 mins...a half empty load was something to remember, but really slow going
*Although not a good memory, breaking my $300 digital camera on Magnum(yes, it its case), still a heck of a ride!
*MF in the pitch dark, fogged over from the smoke machines
*Raptor and Magnum: short waits, best rides of my life
*Meeting fellow buzzers/gttp'ers
*Actually seeing a Chaos run, after I'd been seeing ours out of commission for weeks
*And lastly, the moments with my friends that will last forever, even if not coaster-related

Ok, so I have 403 laps on ST, but I would give it all to have CP as my home park.

So many memories in such a short time, it's hard to belive it's all ove. (Until Next Season at least...) Great page Rob! You helped make that first week of Millenium Mania a fun one, you and all the crazy people the made us work with! :P That week was a fun one, along with rest the season. Thanks guys for a great season!

Ah yes, riding MF in the rain is an unforgetable experience...painful but unforgetable. I got wetter during that ride than I did on Thunder Canyon!

I went to the Point by myself for the first time ever, and it was so fun. I met some nice people in line, I could be spontaneous, I didn't have to wait up for anybody, and I come power ride all I wanted...just a great time!

I Will Miss CP Like Mad, I Already Do Even Though It Has Only Been 2 Days (Man,How Am I Going To Make It Through The Off Season?) This Has Been My Second Season Working There And My Second In Camp Snoopy. I Will Return Next Year But Not In Snoopy Land. I Miss You All And GTTP Rocks.
