Was just thinking about a couple moments from SRM 2002. I remember our first night rides on Legend. People were leaving their lap bars a bit loose, and we came down one drop/ turn combo (sorry, don't remember which drop) and the guys in the seat in front of me came so far out of their seats that they were practically sitting on the back of the car. Needless to say that scared me enough that I jammed my bar down more and didn't do any more loose lap bars after that.

The other memory is from that same event- Mick Foley dancing with Mrs. Koch and being such a nice guy for all of the people at the event, then all the rides he took over at Raven with everyone. Got a couple of good pictures of him riding and obviously having a great time. Had a lot of fun at that event.

Any Trip to lake compounce, (especially when the ops sang If your happy and you know it clap your hands on the lift hill speakers)

Trip to knoebels when we yelled out potato on the rides for no reason. We got everyone else on the rides to do it, and even the ride op on the Swinging ship! We even heard him yelling it out when he moved to the swings. That guy was awesome, whoever he was!

By far my most memorable time on any roller coaster was my first trip to a park this past season. I went to BGW, arrived just before the park opened with the weather looking absolutely awful. All the employees at the entrance kept asking us why on earth we even wanted to be at a park in such weather. Me being an enthusiast, weather really isn't such a big deal. The entire day there was no line anywhere. Including Alpengeist and Apollo's Chariot. So basically I got on Alpengeist on the back and rode it atleast I'd say 80 times over the day. All except maybe 5 were in the back as that was the only place you could get an crazy ride without getting pelted by rain like in the front seat. I couldn't get enough of it, It was so fast and so smooth in the rain. And sitting in the back on the left side the whip going through the cobra roll was possibly the most amazing thing I've ever felt on a coaster. Riding Alpie that many times no problems and with it giving such awesome rides deffinately takes the cake for mme.
