I thought the specials were good. I never saw the Top 10 show last year so it was new for me. I agreed with some of it although while the Thunderbolt deserves a top 10 spot, I don't think it should have been #1. It's good, but not that good. Must disagree with Jeff about the Steel Phantom- I love that thing and hate that they're tearing it down. A little brutal, but so what? As far as the Magic Mountain special, I found it to be very interesting and enjoyed it. Learned some new stuff I never knew before. My favorite 3 parks are IOA, Magic Mountain, and CP (in no particular order)so it was cool to get an inside look at one of my favorite places. The Extreme Ride special was the best though. I've seen that particular Skyscraper in action- when you see it in person, YOU WILL think twice before going. Watching it is nauseating. I bailed out on it and it wasen't the $20 charge, either. There is no way I believe the guy who said no one ever gets sick on it. I've never gotten sick on anything and I wasen't about to start there.
