Rollercoasters HERE WE COME!

Yes, Dan and I will be on a plane bright and early tomorrow morning. We are looking at Magic Mountain all day friday and Disneyland/California Adventure all day Saturday.

Faves of Six flags:
Ride Name: Goliath!
Near vertical 61- degree first drop into a 120-foot-long underground tunnel.
Towering 255-feet above earth, the massive steel superstructure has one of the world's tallest drops and at speeds of 85 miles-per-hour, it is one of the fastest roller coasters of modern day. Combining traditional coaster thrills with a few new devilish twists, GOLIATH sends riders on a 3-minute "non-stop" high speed adventure over 4,500 feet of steel track with daring "butterflies-in-your-stomach" plunges, huge sweeping spirals, zero-gravity "floating" hills and drops, and the 120-foot-long tunnel shrouded in total darkness for the thrill of a lifetime!

Ride Name: Scream!Unique floorless trains. Seven 360-degree inversions including: a cobra roll, zero gravity roll and dive loop. Riders are strapped into "flying chairs" racing at intense speed with their feet dangling in the air - no track above their head, no coach around their seats - screaming through a series of Xtreme maneuvers. Top Speed: 65 mph First drop: 150 feet tall Height at Tallest Point 255-feet

Ride Name: "X" - no limits:
Prototype vehicles that spin 360-degrees forwards and backwards.
One twisting front flip, two back flips and two raven turns will leave you speechless! For the first time ever, riders race in prototype vehicles that can now spin independently 360-degrees forwards or backwards on a separate axis -- creating an unprecedented "don't know what to expect next" sensation. Perched on the EDGE of a massive 20-foot wide wing-shaped vehicle, riders plummet 200 feet to the ground - head-first face down -- and race at 76 miles-per-hour spinning head-over-heels and performing forward and backward acrobatics through the massive 3,600-foot twisting steel maze. Top Speed 76 mph First Drop: 200 feet

So, this will be the best anniversary of mine, yet! I can't believe I'm old enough to be having a five year wedding anniversary. I am so lucky to be married to such a wonderful guy.

after staying till close and literally running from the end of the ride to the front because there were no lines, the last (10th) time on the viper was a mistake. it was a green drive home...all the way to portland...

Viper is cool, we did it only once (lines were horrible as it is right next to X so an obvious next ride). And in comparison to Goliath, "X", Scream and Dejavu, viper is archaic and slams you around alot. These new ones including Riddlers Revenge and Batman are so smoothe. And just thinking of X and Dejavu make my heart palpitate! I might have to make another quick jaunt down after the new year because every girl needs to hear her husband giggle like a little excited girl now and then.
