Along with Waterworld, and Splashtown...
Now you have to drive to San Antonio to Fiesta Texas or Schlitterbahn to do anything fun.
Unless you like bars or strip-clubs; there're hundreds of each here...

Yeah, I remember passing Heartbreakers a few times, and when I was about eight years old, I asked my dad what they did there, and when he told me, I went, "EEEEEWWWWWW, GROSS!!" My dad busted a gut at that.

Re: What's the latest in people's lives?
Currently, there are several hundred strip clubs and about a hundred swinger's clubs here. Drinking and f*cking are about the only fun things to do here, really. Or, go see a movie...

Who needs anything else?
What does defeat mean to you?
Nothing it will never come. Death before defeat. I don’t bend or break. I end, if I meet a foe capable of it. Victory is in forcing the opponent to back down. I do not. There is no defeat.

Tsu - yeah, I prefer a roller coaster with a a longer duration, but Kingda Ka is incredible for the sheer height, speed, and twisting vertical drop. I don't know if I'd stand in line for it again, but I am VERY glad I did it at least once (in the front row, of course.) 0-128 mph in 3.5 sec, 456 feet high.
This one was cool, too - the steepest drop of any wooden coaster:

Re: What's the latest in people's lives?
Alas, I did not go on Kingda Kaa. In fact, I didn't go on any roller-coasters (I went on the Ferris Wheel...Once....for the first time in my life . Sad, yes). I'm not a "themepark" person, I was only there for the performance. I watched peoples stuff while they went on rides. And I swear one of the shops/arcades near the Batman Roller Coaster was playing the theme from First Contact at one point!

Dammit. Now I want to ride a roller coaster again. Or, at least jump head-first like an insane person down the craziest waterslide I can find. Again...Mikey wrote:I was waiting for that.Teaos wrote:Who needs anything else?

Re: What's the latest in people's lives?
Bah...rollar coasters aren't my style. Water coaster is more my style, and the longest watercoaster in the US is only an hour or so from here. The Black Anaconda at Noah's Ark Waterpark. It's .25 miles long! Or if traditional water slides are more your style Point of No Return is a pair of 10-story tall speedslides that take 3-5 seconds to descend.
Besides, at waterparks there is a lot more to see if you know what I mean.

Yeah, I always had more fun at waterparks... Especially those really fast rides that have a tendency to woosh tops off.ChakatBlackstar wrote:Bah...rollar coasters aren't my style.

Re: What's the latest in people's lives?
Whenever I see those bikini tops that have that tie in back...I have to really make an effort not to undo those ties. Those are genious though, much easier to undo then certain bra clasps...Tsukiyumi wrote:Yeah, I always had more fun at waterparks...

I love those tied tops as well. I'm quite good with knots...

Re: What's the latest in people's lives?
Actually, you can see quite a lot at the Six Flags by my house... there are water rides in the main park, as well as the attached waterpark.
And if you're really desperate to see something, we do have a nude beach here in NJ.

We only have one theme park around here and it sucks.

Re: What's the latest in people's lives?
Brianna (my girlfriend) (no, its not an ego thing dating the female version of my name) just got her tonsils out so I'm down with here for the weekend keeping her company and doing my final exams. Plus I'm taking Monday off, so this'll be a low-key weekend.
All and all, I need the low-key. I'm run down from school and my body is destroyed from the gym over the last two weeks. I'm seriously thinking of taking a week or two off from heavy weights and rocking a few days of various cardio.
Oh, and I can't wait for summer (3 weeks of school left)

Don't you hear my call, though you're many years away, don't you hear me calling you?
