Size of land for each coaster

Michigan needs some drastic changes to make the economy better. We're in a deep deep hole right now. Our current governor just isn't do a good job. I don't know much about DeVos, but a change needs to happen.

I really want to get back to MiA. It's a great park, it's just small.

We went up Wednesday after work. Check my blog for a TR.

It wasn't bad, and I didn't ride much because my wife can't ride the rough stuff anymore. The waterpark is pretty good (as a tip, get a strap and keep your sunglasses on). The lines throughout the park were alright (ST would have been a near walk-on if I'd ridden).

Its funny you brought up SRF, because Adventure Falls just looks puny by comparison. It looks so small I wonder how it even creates a wave.

Well, yes. I have been saying for quite awhile that Michigan is going down hill. We really need help for this state to maintain itself, its just not working out. I realize that Granholm really hasn't been doing too much to help out, and I wouldn't mind giving someone else a shot. Heck, for all I know, DeVos is exactly what we need. And if so, this state's to be back on track and that's a good thing.

SRF's splashdown is huge, according to CP's website it equates to 1,600 square feet of water, roughly the same as my home. Massive. Entirely soaked. But then, that was going over ten times with little time in between, essentially walk-ons every time! :) *** Edited 8/12/2006 3:46:56 AM UTC by topthrilldragster4lyf***

Ah, so you're for DeVos, eh, MiA Freak? Well, I personally don't care who is elected governor of this here state as I see it going downhill for quite some time (if not ever) anyway.

You should care whos elected Governor. Becuause if your going to live in Michigan, your going to need a job. Almost 93,000 jobs have left this state since she has been in office. If you want a job than you better care. I hate it when people say that they dont care how wins. Because most of the time there the ones that are complaing about the person that is in office.

Sorry I needed to get that off my chest.

Gemini - 6 acres
Raptor - Less than 3 acres
Mean Streak - 5.5 acres
Corkscrew - 5 acres
Blue Streak - 2.75 acres

I read somewhere that raptor took up 4 acres

I guess you read wrong then.

Well, one, I said that I don't care because this state is in so deep I can't quite tell if it would make a difference. I also said later that for all I know he has the capability of bringing this state back together.

Thing two, who says I want to live in MI, anyway? :P
