Have a great time in Fl, TGS, it's been getting the best weather in N/A lately....

I've not seen the latest coaster at Busche but they do have some of the greatest rides there...I'll bet the new one is a good one too.
It's also been a while since my last visit to The Kennedy Space Centre....it's terrific and never boring, and one of the best attractions (ever)...

Have a good one, be safe and Merry Christmas to you and yours....

This forum is one of the best things's happened to me this year. It is so good to know that there is somebody else who as insane about their cars as I am… it makes me feel much more confident when I am speaking with my neighbors
Marry Christmas to everybody! Have a wonderful time!
Hope to hear from you next year!

You got that right Igor, it is the best, and I hope to see you at some of our meets again when the weather becomes warmer.

Well Colin, here is the psychotic coaster we are going on. I have heard of people pi$$ing themselves on this one. Let's see if this stops my 49 year old ticker.

I am told this is the tallest vertical drop rollercoaster. Man, I am already nervous. Where's the valium?

I am sure we will. I rented a 2,200 sq.ft. 5 bedroom 18 mth old home for $ 1,200.00 for the week. Did the same last year, although lasts years home was quite a bit larger. Can't get a hotel room for that.

Pics are of the house I rented last year, one outside and one master bedroom shot. Place was a palace. The only way to go I'll tell you. My daughters bedrooms was 850 sq.ft., had its own sofas, bar, big screen.

My favorite ride in Orlando is the Hulk at Universal. This thing shoots you out a tube at high speed and you immediately go into an inverted loop. I will ride this at least twice. Also love the Duelling Dragons where your feet hang.

My business partner and his family are there now and we are hooking up for some rides. Some cynics might think I am trying to kill my partner for his shares

That place looks very nice Mark, and certainly a bargain at $1200. Is this something you and your family do every Christmas? In any case I am envious, I would love to be there for the holidays.

That thing looks insane. I would LOVE go on that. I was at Epcot last year and didn't see any rides like that. I went on the GM Test Track and that was pretty cool, but nothing beats a good coaster!

LOL, no worries......it's as safe as standing on the ground (they say. )

Strap in, close your eyes and have a blast.......
