Limited Edition Dick Kinzel Autographed TTD Cup! (

I think this post goes best in trip reports, though few people read these.

Just outside the park Friday, my friend and I walked by the arcade near the Soak City Gate, and we spot Dick Kinzel. Yup, just saw him, probably walking from the arcade.

Anyway, since I had my trusty sharpie in my pocket, we finally got his autograph, which my friend originally asked for on opening day!

(See: http://www.guidetothepoint.com/cpplace.aspx?mode=thread&TopicID=11703)

The time inside the park was cool two, with some first-time rides on a couple of flats I have not bothered to ride @ CP, and a spin on TTD with a cute foreign employee (who was off duty of course)!

I saw him and Mr. Spehn (sp?) a week ago but was too scared to say anything to them.

Now tell me Cedar Point is running out of space.

Haha, was that you that was showing all the Magnum crew your Dragster cup signed by Kinzel? I heard about that :)

Anyways, best day of my life was when I saw Mr. Kinzel in the cafe and got up the guts to be like "Hi, you wrote me a letter last year that totally made my entire life." Well, he ended up buying my lunch and talking to me about my summer at CP and my interests in Michigan's Adventure over my break. Really nice guy :)

That was an interesting lunch, I don't think Kara stopped staring at him once, lol. Sorry Kara, I had to say it.

Yes Kara, it was!

And the worst part is its not even my own cup. Its Swordmaster's!

And the Magnum crew better know me! Can you do me a favor, and say high to them for me? I haven't been able to get to the point the last couple of weeks for medical reasons. I should hopefully be able to go by Labor Day though!
