WOW..Just like the Groundhog coming out of the hole on Feb.2, SERVO returns to GTTP on MAY 1...How the heck are you? WELCOME BACK...
P.S. Have you been paroled from Chicago yet?
I know you guy probly won't remember me, i havn't been on here for a long time. But this is a VERY VERY VERY happy time for me. IT is almost summer vacation for me which means it's almost time for me to got to the point. doesn't mean much for you guys, but for me it's almost profilling a life ambition, wait it is like that. Ever since i was six i been utterly, and totaly obsessed with coasters. When i was seven i heard about a park with the most rides, coasters in the world! Although my love for parks, and especially coasters has grown to an unmeasurable level since then, i have always wanted to go to Cedar Point. It was kinda of like being a kid dreaming about becoming a rockstar, you know it wil never happen, but you still dream about it. It was like that with me about going to cedar point. it wasn't untill just recently i had even had a remote chance of going to cp. I am 13 now, and about 2 years ago my family decided we were going to go on a family vacation. We couldn't figure out where to go untill we decided to go cedar point. i dreamed about going there everyday for almost a year, obsessing about getting there and seing magnum, blue streak, and all the other coasters, then riding them. I was supposed to go there on summer vaction that year. But when it got about a month from summer vacation, my dreams started to fade, as financial problems quickly ruled out any chance of me going there. It seemed as if every time we get some money somthing happened, and we lossed it. there was still a glimmer of hope of going, as we got just enough money saved to go. Then on the way home from work, my dad's car broke down. I knew what would happen, we would have to drain our savings to fix it. Sure enough, that's what happened. It felt like a giant part of me had been torn out when i found out we wern't going. every day of the vacation, i slowly slipped into my self created deppresion, as i looked at this forum thinking how i could be at CP, at that second on magnum, or raptor, or some other coaster. then half way through this school year, my parents started to consider yet another attempt to go somewhere. the whole cycle started over again. Then sure enough when i got so obsessed about going there i couldn't stand it anymore the same problems started to repete themselves. To make a long story short, my parents decided, we couldn't go. Untill they had the idea of just letting me and my dad(who is the only one eho ride anything with me) go. it all worked out untill my dad gave away a week of his vacation time to someone else who's father had just died. We were left with the same dilemma. We finally had to end up making reservations for a day and a half bus ride both ways to get there, and have two days there. Finally there is hope. Now i anciously await the day i go in about a month. I finally know that nothing can happen, and i will actullay get to go!!!!!! So, yes this is a very special time for me. sorry for wasting your time:-)

Coaster guy2000, I remember you! I've been around a while and have seen many people come and go.
I felt like you did last year during the off-season. I sunk into a depression longing for the summer. I swear if I hadn't discovered this site when I did, I would have gone insane. It seemed like I'd never be able to ride MF, but finally the day came. I went to my first Coastermania and had the best day of my life. I hope you have as good of a time as I had.
These are some of the long posts that have a lot of thought put into them which is what GTTP was like "back in the day."
Im really siked for this opening...I have had the coaster "jones" so bad..I had to get my coaster jollies at other parks recently. I know I cheated...but hey...when ya got the urge to ride a coaster...you drive whatever lengths necessary!
actually, Tim, dan and all, i have NOT been paroled from Chicago yet...i am stuck here INDEFINETLY as money is tight, U2 is NEXT WEEK (EEEEE!!) ANNNNND the Alarm comes back in June and i do some work for them. SOOOO you guys MIGHT see me in late June but more likely early (gasp) SEPTEMBER!!! man will i be hurting for some SERIOUS MF by then!! gawd i hope there's a Millennium Mania this year!! get in some good ones for me!!
guess Raging Bull, V2 and Deja Vu will have to tide me over....sigh.
i'll be HERE tho, so you'll see me more often after May 16th...
