One of my friends did text me about the day I'm going to De Efteling. (This weekend)

He: are you ready to go on the worlds highest drivecoaster?

Me: yeah. I like that name "drive coaster"

He: I ment Baron

Me: I explain it later...

I have explained this many times now but my friends won't understand it!
Yes....

While I was watching the Travel Channel show Insane Coaster Wars, during a segment about X-Flight at Six Flags Great America, the narrator called the ride an "airtime machine". X-Flight is a fun coaster, but there's no airtime to be found anywhere on that ride.

??? X-Flight has plenty of airtime... It's just not "traditional" airtime...

Well considering you're pretty much suspended in the air, then yes X-Flight is non-stop airtime.

I have a lot but here are some of my favorites.

*waiting in line for the Beast*

Person with little brother- How many times did that flight of fear go upside down?

Brother- Probably a thousand

Older sister- No, probably more than that.



Friend- I rode the fastest coaster in the world.

Me- Which one?

Friend- Top Thrill Dragster.

Me- How fast was it (In curiosity if he knew)?

Friend- It was 200 miles per hour I think.



Mom, to son in line for Mystery Mine- "Hold on tight, people have fallen out of this ride".

She would be half right if they were in line for New Texas Giant.

Also a kid on my old school wasn't allowed to go on a school trip to Bobbejaanland because his mother thought coasters were dangerous and she didn't want to risk the life of her son.

I'll get so pissed when someone isn't allowed to go because their parents or guardians believes that they're "dangerous". >_>
