Morning SoCal!

Well I took yesterday off to go ride some of the TALLEST and FASTEST roller coasters in the country...if not the world!

If you have never heard of Cedar Point...Roller Coaster Capital & Best Amusement Park in the World | Cedar Point Well...if you are ever in NorthWest Ohio...and you like coasters/rides...this is the place for you!

Their tallest and fastest coaster is the Top Thrill Dragster...we rode this ride 5-6 times and could have rode another 5-6 times if we chose.

0-120mph in 4 seconds up to 425' and nearly 0mph at top before reaccelerating back to ~120mph on the decent!

Official Top Thrill Dragster POV in HD - YouTube

I took my girls out of school for the day...an annual mid-May outting for us...and with being able to ride 30+ rides yesterday...that is WHY we go in mid-May during the week!

Joe.

Just got a smog check on the Escape.

%O2 = 0 (not a pollutant)
HC ppm = 0
%CO = 0
NO ppm = 0
%CO2 = 14.7 (not a pollutant)

Makes me wonder if his machine was working. But I'll take it.

Did you figure out how to make it run on water? That's amazing.

I firmly believe that So Cal and Nor Cal need to be divided into two states. Once you get as large as California its hard to stop things like this.
