"On trip 2,304, I counted six seagulls on the lift hill and I get and extra half inch of air over the third bunny hill"..Overheard one day on Magnum!
BTW, this article is on the lower half of the front page of today's PD (7/16) with a nice photo.
Way to go Dan!

Good article.

It is kind of strange, however, that none of us seem to know anything about this guy.

Nice article though! Maybe this means in some indirect way though that Dan will finally retire the damn counter! Haha. Knowing him though he'll probably have it hooked to his Tux though come Wedding Day! ;-)

Some habits are hard to break. Like retiring the counter. I do not see Dan doing that any time soon!

MF Circuts=400(03=84)
TTD Launches=13
The Cleveland.com article said:
The Magnum debuted as the world's tallest, fastest coaster. But that record has been broken several times, three of them by Cedar Point.
I'm confused on this, are they saying that CP broke Magnum's record 3 times, because they have only had the tallest coaster 2 times since then, MF and TTD, But they've had 4 tallest fastest coasters, including Gemini. Or is it just that they don't have their facts straight?

EDIT: Haha..whoa, I guess I misread that. Maybe they were just confused and didn't have their facts right. It would be nothing new for the media.

Theres a difference guys about having a legitimate love and connection complete with history about a ride than just some kid wanting to break a record! Dan is still the Magnum Man to us on GTTP and always will.
One was looking for the attention, the other the attention found him.
That's all I have to say about that. Ruuuuun Forrrrrrest! Ruuuuun!

OMG! The Space Spiral is leaning!!" Must be the weight of that new air conditioning system everyone keeps hypothesizing about...
Where can I get a counter of my own?
Anyway, to Magnum Dan and Robert, you guys ROCK! Oh, and about the psychiatrist thing in the article, email me, and I can give you the number of mine.

Part of me makes me wish I had been counting since 89. Maggie literally made me love CP and coasters at 9 years old.
I may have ridden coasters that may be better, but none has the character, personality, and feeling that Maggie has.
With Maggie, it's personal.

Thats right Virginia, I am Santa Claus.
For me though I am happy to see Magnum get some press as it now stands in the shadows of Dragster.
As for the count, I say I am going to stop, but deep down I can't. Maybe after I hit 3,000!
