X2 - Xtreme Roller Coaster Pain at Six Flags Magic Mountain
Posted on July 9, 2008 - Filed Under Ride Reports | Leave a Comment
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 on a scale of 1-10.

California CoasterQuest Continues
Posted on May 16, 2008 - Filed Under Ride Reports | Leave a Comment
My long term goal of riding every roller coaster in California has tripped into high gear with the coming of Spring and all the amusement parks opening up for the year. In fact, next week three new coasters are supposed to be opening here in California: Pony Express at Knott’s Berry Farm (Thursday, May 22nd); Tony Hawk’s Big Spin at Six…
Cancelling The Christmas Trip

It took me six months to plan it, three months to pay for it and less than a week to cancel it entirely, losing about $650 in the process. Here was the itinerary:

When Parenting Gets Tough
Posted on November 24, 2007 - Filed Under Fatherhood, Road Trippin' | Leave a Comment
Z and I have had a deal for a little over a month now that in order for her to receive the benefits of all the cool trips and “toys” in the future she would have to earn them. This is because she was becoming spoiled in the literal sense: she honestly felt that she deserved all of the things…
Another Long Term Goal Takes A Hit
Posted on November 23, 2007 - Filed Under Ride Reports | 3 Comments
Well, the weight loss goal took a small hit as a result of Thanksgiving Turkey (and ham, and stuffing, and potatoes, etc), and another just took a hit thanks to an email I just received from Six Flags Magic Mountain-
The transformation of X into X2 is currently scheduled to begin with the closure of the ride as of December 3,…
