So the boys and I had to put together a coaster for physics and well 5 hours later we had this. No measurements, all on the fly construction and it works...and well i might add.

wonderland is what we have up here.. i'm really tired of the rides. I've been on all over them more times then i can count. Once, when it was really quite (might have rained but didnt) i got on all the coaster a dozen or more times. Since then i've been less then impressed

Go to Cedar Point man, I'm telling you. It's right in Sandusky, Ohio. Right on Lake Erie. It can't be that far from you and it's SO worth it.

I can't get your video to work BTW.

Seriously, it is insane. Puts every other amusement park to shame. If you ever see those TLC or Discovery Channel specials on the top 10 roller coasters in the world, Cedar Point ALWAYS has at least 2 usually 3 on the list.

Biker,

Video? What's up with it?

And just go there man, you won't regret it.

Hope they don't make you answer the same silly questions on the way out of Canada as they do on the way in.

you need quicktime 6.0 to view the video.

No when I re-enter canada I dont get any questions, they say "welcome home rob" - no joke. I could have kissed the grounded when I came back in March... dam it was nice to get home

I have quicktime 6.

I meant when you left Canada do they ask the same stupid questions as when I try to get in?

It depends on the person and where you are flying to. When I flew down to Tulsa, OK they asked alot of question. I got a 30min talking to about why i was heading down to TULSA, how to get married the legal way and cheapest too, asked if i was getting married (which i wasn't) and how long i was staying. They also went as far as to get details of the gal i was staying with.

Normally though I dont get those kinds of questions from the gov agents. Most of the time they're very laid back about the whole thing. On the way back from Tulsa, even your US people were calling me by name (after looking at my passport of course), calling me sir and what not. It was really nice, one woman (after patting me down) said "You must be happy to be on your way home" which I thought was really weird, cause well I was. When I landed I could have kissed the ground... free at last I thought. BUt on well i'm home and loving it.
