Thanks for the invite but I'll pass.  Never have been a roller coaster fan.    ;D

I used to love the Cyclone Racer at the "Pike" in Long Beach, California when it was the world record holder, but it was nothing to what they have today. I am sure this one will be overtaken soon.

I used to love amusement rides especially the roller coasters.  Right now it's all I can do to handle getting into an automobile, driving or riding on the road and sharing that road with others who don't seem to mind turning the street into a bumper car ride.  >:(

I am neither thrilled or amused by that.  :bad:

So with that said, I'll gladly give my seat to someone else.  Thank you for the invitation.  Enjoy your ride.   ;D
