I think that I'll keep Fight of Fear. I love that thing to death. Can we do The Vortex for The Bat trade, though? Then we would have a stand-up.

I take it you haven't ridden Carowinds' Vortex.

No. I have never been.

If you had, I doubt you'd be interested in that trade.

What is so bad about it? I don't understand all the stand-up hate. I think they are rather cool. The Riddler's Revenge is one of my favorite coasters.

It's an early B&M stand-up. Second only to Iron Wolf (now Apocolypse), it's rough, has terrible transitions and is a head banger deluxe. It has very little in common with Riddler's Revenge.

I offered that we take Vortex from Carowinds...

In all honesty, it's the only B&M stand-up I've genuinely enjoyed. Maybe I wasn't in the right mood for it, but Georgia Scorcher--typically one of enthusiasts' favorite B&M stand-ups--did little to nothing for me. But hey, I also really like Boss... (Have I mentioned that yet? )

I still would like it. Come on. No coaster is bad.

There are bad coasters. Let us start with The Roller Coaster At New York New York Casino. Then, there's Ninja at Six Flags Over Georgia. T2 at Kentucky Kingdom, all Zamperla Flyers...

But still, you would want them in your backyard. There is no such thing as a bad coaster, as long as you don't get injured on it.

I'll gladly take a BBW clone

That could go many ways now after typing this I realize that haha

Mean Streak....

I like Mean Streak.

And no, I wouldn't want ANY coaster in my back yard.

What? A BB What now?

One word posts violate the Terms of Service...

I changed it. And I know you want a coaster in your backyard. I would put Millennium Force there.

I like Mean Streak.

Last time I rode it, it felt like someone had taken a jackhammer to my lower spine.

Millennium Forceless? Please, NO.

Well the last time I rode it, I was 10. Mean Streak, I mean. (NOT Millennium Forceless) When I ride it, the first drop feels like my spine is compressing, so why is it forceless?

Because Bizarro at Six Flags New England it is not. Millennium's fast. It has a beautiful setting (though Bizarro has it beat even there).

Nothing beats clear moonless calm lake rides in a cool quiet breeze

Well except for a cloudless moon lit night that's warm and trimless on Maggie..some of my favorite moments in life were there

Life's not over yet...

No but lapping Maggie over and over the week of my Birthday running from exit all the way to the train was a fantastic night

Riding it at 3 AM is fun, too.

Oopsie.

When did you ride it at 3 am?

I just remember Carowinds Vortex being lame.

Why so?

Mean Streak....

I rode late may, and I rather enjoyed it. I found it very painful back in 2010, but this year although anticipating some pain.. I really enjoyed the coaster and it was an aggressive fun that didn't make it over to my classification of "too rough"

When did you ride it at 3 am?

At 3 AM, of course. Duh.

Terp, who said that once already.
