01.11.05 Correct itinerary:

At long last, I've updated the Itinerary to reflect the actual trip itinerary. After only 5 months back. Yes, I'm special. Well, at least it's correct now. :)

12.13.04 Deserted?:

Just a note that despite the site not getting updated for the past few weeks, it's not abandoned. There's a lot more stuff that's going to be going up on the site, we're just both a bit bogged down by xmas stuff right now.

11.09.04 Our top 10 wood coasters:

Eventually, I'll be building a page called "Our Top 10 Coasters." It will have each of our top 10 coasters, both wood and steel, with photos and a paragraph or 2 from us explaining why it is we love it so much. But that's not today. Today, however, I do have our favorite 10 wood coasters of the trip, thanks to the demands of Mitch Hawker's coaster ballot. Without further ado:

Cla's Top 10 Wood Coasters

01) Shivering Timbers Michigan's Adventure MI
02) Thunderhead Dollywood TN
03) Rampage Visionland AL
04) The Legend Holiday World IN
05) Raven Holiday World IN
06) Cyclops Big Chief WI
07) Boulder Dash Lake Compounce CT
08) Avalanche Timber Falls WI
09) Cornball Express Indiana Beach IN
10) Phoenix Knoebel's PA

Mike's Top 10 Wood Coasters

01) The Legend Holiday World IN
02) Shivering Timbers Michigan's Adventure MI
03) Phoenix Knoebel's PA
04) Thunderhead Dollywood TN
05) Cyclops Big Chief WI
06) Rampage Visionland AL
07) Boulder Dash Lake Compounce CT
08) Cornball Express Indiana Beach IN
09) New Mexico Rattler Cliff's NM
10) Comet Great Escape NY

We have 8 of the same coasters in our top 10, though in different order. I have the New Mexico Rattler and the Comet at Great Escape in my top 10 while she does not. She has Avalanche at Timber Falls and Raven at Holiday World in her top 10 while I do not.

11.09.04 Internet coaster poll:

I've filled out my ballot and have harrsed Cla to fill out hers for the Internet Wood Coaster Poll. That means expect a page detailing our top 10 wood coasters soon... or maybe just our top 10 coasters, and we'll combine wood and steel. Not sure which we're going to do yet...

11.08.04 The Internet Coaster Poll:

It's time to mark your favorites for the Internet Wood Coaster Poll. This is by far the most accurate and interesting awards out there, far more accurate as a list of quality coasters then the Golden Tickets. Even better, this year there is a web ballot.

Also, unlike many awards, this poll is open to anyone and everyone. If you've only ridden a few coasters, that's not a problem, as the poll only counts which coasters you think are better then other coasters you've ridden, as opposed to the idea of popularity. So not having ridden a ton of coasters isn't necassary at all for you to fill out a ballot.

So go there and vote today!

10.05.04 Upadting...:

OOF! My brain hurts from the revamp I'm doing for each park category. This staring at the screen stuff has got to be giving me brain damage.

10.04.04 New way of doing... stuff:

So I'm planning a new way of showing things. It will look quite nice in the end but will also make stuff a bit broke for a while.

The way it will all look can be seen here:

It's just kinda a different way of laying it out, and making the overview page a little more accurate, and also a little prettier.

09.30.04 Progress...:

Well, the trip reports aren't flowing as fast as I would like, but they are coming. Schlitterbahn should be up in the next day or so. Hopefully if you are visiting you are enjoying the two or so decent photos I try to get up each day....
