Well, I got to ride some coasters yesterday for the first time since the summer of '98. I went to my home park, Six Flags Over Texas with my girlfriend and her sister. The trip had two purposes. 1) I needed a coaster fix...BAD!! 2) My girlfriend is a coaster newbie and she's going to CP with me this summer, so I needed to get her broke in. The trip was great. The crowds were light, but now I'm longing for CP even more. I rode the Texas Giant thinking of Mean Streak (I like the Giant's ride better, but I just think MS is a beautiful coaster). I rode Batman: The Ride thinking of Raptor. I haven't ridden Raptor since '95, but Batman comes nowhere close! It was nice to get on a B&M inverted, but it just doesn't run like Raptor. I still enjoyed it though. Oh, well, basically what I'm getting at is that I canNOT wait until July when I get back to CP for the first time in 5 years and get to ride my favorites and maybe have some new favorites. C'mon July!!!!!
