Answering Concerns About Cedar Fair And Disabilities
Posted on July 11, 2008 - Filed Under Health Care, Ride Reports | Leave a Comment
Yesterday I praised Cedar Fair on their new policy that disabled guests now need to wait just as long as everyone else to experience the rides at Cedar Fair amusement parks. Since I wanted to share as many details as possible the post ran fairly long. Therefore, I decided to leave off my response to […]

Now there’s a headline I never thought I’d write.
My regular readers are aware that my “day job” is caring for developmentally disabled adults. In fact, I work more than 100 hours per week doing this, so it’s more like my three day jobs. You should also be aware that Z and I are […]

Working so many hours I find myself seeking more and more interesting vacation ideas. These days my most frequent problem isn’t paying for the vacation itself, but losing the time at work (working in social services provides zero traditional benefits like sick/vacation time).

The prize for most innovative gate discount […]

Last fall I made an “emergency” trip down to Six Flags Magic Mountain to be one of the last people to ever ride X, their Arrow Dynamics created prototype 4th dimension coaster, before they did a $10 Million revamp and transformed it into X2. I was very much not impressed, rating it a 3 […]

So, it’s been almost a month. If any of y’all are still checking out, Philaahzophy I apologize for my absence. But I’m not going to apologize too profusely, cause frankly, that’s just what happens when you try to follow along with a manic-depressive blogger. Yep, I’ve been absent as a result of […]

In my ongoing quest to ride every roller coaster in California, this was, by far, the most difficult to locate. Let’s start with just gathering information about it online…
It’s name is simply “roller coaster”. This doesn’t really give the search engines much to go on, does it. Add in the fact […]
Getting Serious About California CoasterQuest

Last November I dropped a post about some long term goals in order to provide a template of sorts for Z. One of those goals was to ride every roller coaster in California. As I’ve noted here before progress toward this goal has kicked in to high gear recently. So, I though […]
