Mr. Coastermania

Week 13 and things are really great.Im now at 228.5 and down to a size 40. Now weight watchers advised me to slow down but i told them im following their plan and using all my points.The thing is im now very active now sense i feel much better.Im losing about 4 pounds a week and they say this could be bad for my heart in a way.Can anybody give me a few tips or ideas that may work or should i just not worry about it?Im not hungry and i feel just fine. I cant wait.Just 24 more days till my first trip of the season. Hope everyone enjoys opening day.Please send some pictures back.Im sure everyone would like to see the d-backs line on opening day.

Yeah it's a little more than a 3 hour drive so driving up before opening day would drive me nuts with nothing else to do. If i drive up on friday the 24th Im hoping to get there early to get processed and get some rides in and get a early ride saturday on d-back.

42 here but i feel much younger.

Once the park is open,What are the hours for pass processing?Is it only during park hours or will they open up early to process passes?

I know what you mean.As a kid i would head to the park almost daily if i could get away with it and then from the time i was 18 to 38,i just stop going.Now i go almost every day again.My girl friend calls me nuts,then says drive faster the park will be open in a hour.hmmm and she calls me nuts????

With trips planned for knotts berry farm,Cedar Point and Kings Island i will be saving a lot with platinum pass.

Welcome aboard.first off Season passes is the best way to go.You can save money and come anytime you like all season long.I would say 2 to 3 days would work.If it's not busy 2 days will give you time to enjoy the park with less wait time.If you can keep up with your kids,then what the heck enjoy 3 days.Hope you all have fun.

I use to think that to.But my thoughts ended up with what if you get stuck upside down how much blood would rush to my head?My girl friend hits me every time i ask that question.ouch!!!! see she hit me again.

I do have trust in the ops that's why i continue to ride.I just wanted to see how others react to moments like that.

I will miss opening day but will make it up next weekend since i will have 2 days to enjoy park. I had planned on opening day but the park is only open on the 18th and closed sunday the 19th. so i had changed my trip plans so i can enjoy a whole weekend up there.

All clear )

Sorry,had to edit.

I remember last year riding the Flight of Fear and for some reason,someone wanted off and that meant releasing the the bar.For some reason other people started yelling out to not start the ride yet.Im sure the ride ops knew what was going on and had it under control. Has anyone else had a scare or close call like that?

You might be a KI addict if you get more excited over opening day than you do christmas day.

53?man thats a lot.If i only lived closer.

LoL,I thought this was life.It's what i call rehab in a crazy world.This is how i rehab.

Hey just go.I went by myself many times.Easier to ride what you want with out someone backing out or just mess up your day period.Friend and family are cool to go with and can be fun but go when you can with or without is up to you.

With Dback opening up this year a new thrill awaits us. With this in mind how many trips does everyone plan to take this year? I hope to make 10 trips this year as well as my trips to Cedar Point.Hurry up spring.

That is AMAZING! And especially that you've kept it going for 10 weeks straight. Congrats and have fun with your hiking, especially knowing that you won't get tired as quickly now. Ive been heavy for to long.This is not just a quick fix thing but a life time commitment. It's not about what you cant eat,it's all about how you eat. Yes and thank you,i will enjoy hiking. Where as before when i use to hang out at the park,i would go home early because i was tired of walking,but now it's a walk in the park.lol.

Week 10 and im at 238 lbs.So far a weight loss of 40 lbs plus. Im planning on some hiking this weekend.Getting around the park will be much easier this year.

Thank you.That is one way to keep in shape.Do what you enjoy. I

Great weigh in monday.Im down to 240 lbs and im now fitting into my size 42 jeans.Im feeling much better than i did a month ago. Im really looking forward to 2009.I know i will be enjoying my season pass much more this year. How much do i miss Kings Island?I work at walmart and they have some motor in the back loading area that sounds like Flight of Fear at launch.Yes my girl friend thinks ive lost it. Hurry up april.D-BACK is ready to strike.

I always seem to miss out but not this time.Im making plans to be there for both days.

Oh hurry up april im going nuts.HMMM maybe i can trade places with the dummy.Im sure i can look the part.
