Hi Tim .... thanks for starting this ... it's fun to read thoughts of those who do ride 'em after AN, as well as those who think they might, but just aren't sure. I wish the latter folks well when they do first ride as a postie. Hopefully it'll be fun for all of you, without problems.
For me, I had AN surgery in November, so I had lots of time to get ready for my first post-AN ride. Hershey Park in PA is a great place to experience all levels of wood and steel coasters .... about 14 in all. I go at least once a year. A friend who is afraid of heights is my coaster buddy .... he got me riding some of the higher level rides .... their newest has a 97-degree first drop ..... that's right .... past straight down !!!
Echoing Jim, space mountain and all the other Disney coasters are fun. Daughter Kaitlin worked space mountain for the Disney intern program .... so we rode it more than once.
Two other fun rides are "high-roller" and "big shot" on top of the Stratosphere in Vegas. The first is a coaster .... the second is the opposite of a quick drop ..... straight up real fast. What a view! And the San Diego's Belmont Park coaster is fun.
Re the first line of your June 24 post, I live just outside Annapolis. If you get east to the Academy, PM me and perhaps get together for a beer. From your blog, I know you like coffee, so that's an alternative beverage.
Anyway, stay well all!
Greg
