- I fall into the category of being disappointed at the lack of park time,
- especially since it stopped raining Saturday afternoon -- the Saturday
- night ERT could have been awesome!! I also left early on Sunday, so I
- didn't get to enjoy the park on Sunday when it wasn't raining, although I
- did manage to be there for most of the ERT Sunday morning. However, I'm not
- sorry I went -- it was a nice vacation!! We spent a couple of days in Houston
- (I called AstroWorld in September, and asked if the park was open weekends in
- November. They said yes. But they weren't open when we went
- :-(!) We went to Galveston and to Space Center Houston (which was neat, but
- I'd recommend going on a weekday). Then we headed up to Arlington, where we
- did several historic exhibits, the JFK memorial, the zoo, and IAAPA.
-
- Sorry I missed you in line! It was hard to spot nametags, since most people
- were wearing them under their jackets (including me!) so it was tough to see
- them!
-
- On other topics (now that I'm caught on the week's postings!);
-
- Anaconda vs Loch Ness Monster: I prefer LNM myself -- I don't like going
- through the corkscrew slowly! However, the Big Bad Wolf is my favorite ride at
- BG. At KD, the Grizzly is _great_ and I like going backwards on the Rebel
- Yell. In general, I prefer wooden to steel coasters.
-
- Jersey Weekend next summer: I'm certainly interested, although I don't
- recommend going to GAdv on a summer weekend because of the crowds!
-
- -- Cheri (reading rec.roller-coaster is certainly the best thing about coming
- back to work!)
