Patience, boys! Joel said things are being “changed” as opposed to “fixed.” Give him a little time to spend with his family for Christmas.

Yep. The themes are gone and there will likely be more changes in the coming weeks. I think you will all be happy with the final product. At least, I hope so. The site’s gotten a bit stale and it’s time to freshen things up after a year with this look. So bear with me, the site’s going to be in transition for a while.

18 New Coasters! i`ve only ridden 17 in all this year in total!

P.S.- i like the new background, i was wondering if a theme would make it clearer and then, (duh-duh-duh-duh, du-duh-duh-duh,duh-duuhhhh!)…the themes are gone.

I bagged a bunch of new–to-me parks* this year, along with some old favorites. I also hit the 200 coaster mark with Manta and am currently sitting at 205. Joel is gaining on me, but he has a new baby on the way, so that should slow him down. I’m hoping for a grandbaby someday so I don’t have to borrow other people’s kids to bag the kiddie coasters!

Carowinds – 11 different coasters
Cedar Point – 17
* 6 Flags Great Adventure – 13, with El Toro moving into my #2 spot
Kennywood – 5, but still haven’t gotten Li’l Phantom
Idlewild – 2
Del Grosso’s – 2
* Lakemont – 3, with Toboggan taking the BOTTOM spot on my list
* 6 Flags New England – 8, but return trip needed to give Bizarro a second chance (Joel?)
Dorney Park – 9, with Talon being my first coaster ride in snow
* 6 Flags Kentucky Kingdom – 6
King’s Island – 12, with no rides on SOB
* 6 Flags America – 7
* SeaWorld – 4
Busch Gardens Africa – 6
HersheyPark – 10

TOTAL: 115 different coasters … who knows how many total rides.
Looks like 2009 was a darn good year for this old lady!

I’m working on them. Hopefully, I’ll have them back up in running in a day or so.
