Guests Say The Darnest Things
I heard someone in line for Intimidator 305 say: *Drum roll please* "Is this a roller coaster?" -I wonder Someone on Griffon asked me: "Is this that Griffon thing we heard about in the line?" -Does it look like it?

Friday, June 13th: This was my favorite day. We went to Kings Dominion, and boy was I not disappointed. Intimidator 305 is now my new favorite coaster. It's just fantastic. Yes, the ride that made me get tunnel vision the first time is my favorite. The second time I sat next to a nice man that told me to hyperventilate during the high g-force moments. That helped a lot, and made for a much more enjoyable experience (not that the first one wasn't). I talked to a guy in line for Flight of Fear's front row that was on a trip that went to Carowinds on Thursday the 12th, Kings Dominion on Friday the 13th, and Busch Gardens Williamsburg on Saturday the 14th. I wanted to see if that was one of you. Anyways, back on topic. Volcano wasn't to be missed either. It did it for me, just like it did it for Terpy. Dominator was great as well, and Kings Island needs a floorless coaster. The Crypt was exhilarating, and was one of the best rides there. I loved Shockwave much more than I thought I would. Overall, slightly better than Kings Island. The rankings for this park is: 1. Intimidator 305 2. Volcano, The Blast Coaster 3. Dominator 4. The Crypt 5. Flight of Fear

Thursday, June 12th: Today we would be moving to the Hampton Inn in Historic Williamsburg. We left for Water Country USA at around 11:00 AM. The lineup of slides there is very nice, and you could see there was well-thought-out landscaping. There was Terpy's Rampage, a unique and fun slide. Vanish Point was amazing, with slides that send you from a SkyBOX into a SuperLOOP, and slides that were the traditional straight down body slide. But the thing that was most impressive was the family slides. Colossal Curl was probably my favorite there, with an abundance of airtime. You fly out of your seat on the TornadoWAVE and the drop into it. A tip for riders seeking maximum airtime is to lift your feet up on the drop and ensuring TornadoWAVE. AquaZoid and Big Daddy Falls were some of the best."family raft rides" I have every been on. The rankings for this park goes: 1. Colossal Curl 2. Vanish Point 3. Rampage 4. AquaZoid 5. Big Daddy Falls

Wednesday, June 11th: We woke up and drove to Ocean Breeze Waterpark. We had a great time there, and there were no lines, so we got to do everything. My favorite thing was Neptune's Revenge, the new tube slide complex opened in 2010, which features two attractions similar to Triple Twist at Great Wolf Lodge, a traditional "toilet bowl", and a tube slide. The park also featured a "body slide bowl", some drop slides, tube slides, and a tube chute reminiscent of Schlitterbahn. The rankings for this park goes: 1. Earth Shaker 2. Trident 3. The Vortex 4. The Hurricane 5. Pirates' Plummet After that, we rented bikes and rode up and down the boardwalk, then got Ben & Jerry's.

Tuesday, June 10th: We drove the remaining four hours to our oceanfront Holiday Inn Express in Virginia Beach, Virginia. We got the corner room on the top floor, so things were going pretty well. After getting settled in, we rode Rudee Rocket, a speedboat ride. Then we played on the beach until 10:00 PM. Then we walked on the boardwalk and found a free telescope viewing party. We saw Saturn, Mars, the Moon, and a galaxy whose name I cannot remember.

SeaWorld Orlando or Busch Gardens Tampa?
It is only 150 feet tall, so it isn't a hyper, just a standard out-and-back. EDIT: Beaten to it!
