Default Greetings from the US of A!

Hiya folks,

Just a short note from Sanford Airport. Paul and I will be back home tomorrow from 2 fabulous weeks in Florida. We have had a great time, although am not sure Paul was that keen on the roller coasters!

Only got 5 hours to kill till the flight Am afraid all those that thought you had got rid of us....unlucky!! Normal service will be resumed soon

Take care, see y'all later
Steff

Pah You'll go all that way for a stick of rock but can't make it to the Foxglove to see your (so-called) mates














Hope you had a good 'un

PMSL @ Mick. Unfortunately, no pics of Paul on coasters I could only drag him kicking and screaming onto a few and even then certainly no hands up poses. You've heard of white knuckle rides, try white all over for Paul lol . Seeing as the last one he went on was the Corkscrew(at Alton Towers),

I think I frightened him to death on the first one (Duelling Dragons @ Islands of Adventure)

and he declined to accompany me again on any of the big ones. He seems to prefer speed and twisties on tarmac for some bizarre reason
I had to go on Sheikra without him

The photo doesnt do this ride justice. Even me, a hardened coaster rider, got the ******* on this one. It has a 200ft vertical drop to start with, a few loops, then it suddenly stops 100ft in the air and drops you vertical again, into water.

That middle one is just mad!!! To be fair, kicking and screaming is the only way you would get me to the cue before i escaped and ran away from you like a crazy man..lol

coasters arn't my thing, paying to be ill hats off to you thrill junkies.....

looks like dualing dragons... :-) thats an awsome ride... once went on it 5 times in a row, but then my back gave out... had some real pain in my lower back due to the forces... its propper violent in parts...about 3-4 g turns i guess...

top ride though...?

also did you have a go on the top fuel dragster @ old town? 0-100 in 2 seconds!

Didn't go on the Dragster at old town Dazza, we accidentally found a bar selling 1 litre glasses of Bud so it all went a bit pear shaped mate.....
