Top 5 things to do whilst standing in line for a ride:

- Scream "AAAHH!! You got it in my eye!"
- Tell the kid behind you about your "leaky bladder" problem
- Spin around really fast, trying to go back in time (I just LOVE that Peter Griffin bit)
- Announce that you are no longer interested in standing in line and demand to speak to Mr. Six
- Make faces at someone and tell them that you're just having an allergic reaction to all the bad themeing

Top Five best times to scream randomly:
1: On the final brakes
2: in the middle of the lift
3: as you leave the station (not launching)
4: During the ENTIRE drop
5: while on the phone talking to a friend, telling them that you're on the ride, but actually in line, and then screaming as if you are going down the big drop

Beast...3rd!?!?!?
Beast's helix is the best helix ever. It's what makes the Beast an awesome ride. Who wouldn't love extreme lateral G's in pitch black (and the crazy head-chopper going into it)?

Top 5 First Drops
1. Sheikra - Love it
2. Millennium Force - I rode it once in the back...WTF
3. Wildfire - Love the airtime in the back seat
4. Borg: Assimilator - the first roll onto your stomach gets me everytime
5. DD (both)

Notables: Arrow Corckscrew coasters in the back seat (Orient Express, Corckscrew at CP, and Python at BGA all gave considerable, sometimes frightening air)
-Incredible Hulk if you count the Zero-G-Roll in it
-Thunder Road backwards
-Dudley Do Right's last drop
-The really long drop near the end of the ride on Space Mountain

First Drops can sometimes make or break a ride for me

My Top 5 drinking spots @ SFGADV
1. The Coca Cola Chill Zone built into CHILLER queue that served Coca Cola products slurpees/slushies in 1998. The Sprite slushie was like nothing else I've had since.
2. Water fountains next to Runaway Mine Train and Conestoga Wagon. RIP Giant Teepee
3. The water fountains near Tango and Rolling Thunder. Good memories of the old section
4. Water fountains near Studio 28 arcade in Movietown.
5. Water fountains near Fantasy Fling - the ride is still there!

Top 5 Over Rated Parks (Warning Disney and Cedar Fair Fanboy's May Dislike this list!!!!!! Don't Insult, I have warned You!!!)

1 : Cedar Point (The Fanboys would probably tell you Disaster Transport should be the Best Indoor Coaster and Mean Streak should be the Best Wooden Coaster and new for 2009: yPigg the worlds best Pig Latin Themed Coaster)

2 : Holiday World (Their Waterpark wasn't Super-Great and when I went The Employee's didn't seem that nice)

3 : Disney Anything (They overcharge admission, underbuild parks (CHEAP), They spend way too Much on a ride (i.e. Everest, Rock N Roller, etc.))

4 : Six Flags Magic Mountain (Why? they aren't really that good if you don't count coasters, Ugly Midways, Expensive Food, NO FLATS!!, Closed Coasters)

5 : Six Flags Great Adventure (Again why? They have more kids rides then flat rides, Hmm. Why are the Lines At Great Adventure Long? Because they don't have enough flat rides to take people from the Coasters!!!!!!!)

^Wow. Why did you have to put that in here. We are all putting real lists on here and you have to put this garbage on here! I love Cedar Point and there are lots of people that do. Not one sane CP Fan would tell you that they are getting whatever you described. Most people who like CP don't like MS or Disaster Transport. I don't know where you are getting that. Please make sense on here.

From a local's point of view the lines really aren't that bad, it's just that's there's a crowded quantity of good coasters that should not be missed. Then there's Flashpass. The first three B&M's make up for S:UF, Toro, and Kingda Ka.
