Why can't you come to Phoenix?

Why can't you come to Phoenix?

Let's hope my company buys a factory in Arizona, then for sure I'll pay you a visit.

My company (from Denmark) has been on a shopping spree in the US this past couple of years. They recently acquired facilities in Arkansas, California, New Jersey, Florida and Illinions.

Is there a refrigeration factory in Phoenix?

If you ever make it to Pittsburgh, you're more than welcome to stay at my place. I have great beer and can guarantee you won't become a father again! (all our hookers have been "fixed")

After a productive week of training people in SAP; I get a weekend for free in Los Angeles.

I decided to drive to Valencia, CA; stay at the Hilton Garden Inn and visit Six Flags Magic Mountain tomorrow.

It was that or Universal Studios, but I've been to the Orlando one, and I seek thrillrides. People say Magic Mountain is the Rollercoaster capital of the world.

Can't wait!

Knott's Berry Farm has some AWESOME thrill rides.

Doesn't Knott's Berry Farm still have Camp Snoopy?

The only time I ever went to Magic Mountain was way back in 1991. I remember they had a lot of roller coasters. Mainly steel coasters mind you. Over the many years of riding roller coasters I find I prefer wooden coasters myself.

Have fun!

Well anyway. Magic Mountain was incredible. The best roller coaster theme park I've ever been to.

Sure, Universal Studios and WDW are incredible, but if you're looking for thrills, nothing like Magic Mountain.

There are 14 roller coasters in the park, and I rode 13 of them (I stayed away from Goliath as I don't really like those nasty negative Gs without shoulder restrain (this one is almost a 70° free fall).

But I rode X and Tatsu twice, easily the best ones in the park right now, especially because of the special seating design.

I basically had no time for anything else, from 10:00 AM to 8:00 PM I did nothing but ride coasters; I just had a quick lunch in between and immediately went to the next (not a good idea though )

Damn, at the end of the day; I felt weird, my head was hurting a little and driving the car made me feel as if I was still on Batman The Ride It's a good thing the Hilton was close so I just went to bed.

I should now visit Cedar Point in Ohio one day, the park with the most roller coasters in the world (17) .

Lest I forget to post on the official "going on vacations" thread.

Will be in Mexico for the next two weeks, might not have a chance to post that often (I see signs of relief everywhere )

To everybody going to Monroe-A-Palooza, have a great time, dudes.

Shoot video and stuff.

Just saw the Cedar point reference.

Cedar point is a great park.
The lines are a bit long but it does cater to the rollercoaster enthusiast.
Well worth the trip to go.
Take the multiple day pass as the lines will hinder you from hitting all the coasters.
They have great wooden coasters and the Millennium (YTK) is still one of the most popular rides, for good reason. My favorite is the Blue streak I believe it is the oldest coaster in the park. Great wooden ride that rattles your teeth.
As a family we hit that park every year (except this one kinda far from home this year) Well worth the trip and my son has grown into a huge roller coaster fan. The boy is 8 and has n fear of the speeding roller coasters.
Not sure how he does it, I remember in my teens thinking once or twice about getting on them.
