Over the past few years, I have developed a love of Rollercoaster riding. I joined the American Coaster Enthusiasts in 2000 and have gone to several events since then. I personally prefer wooden coasters, though steel non-looping coasters rank second. I love airtime; nothing else can compare to it!
In my travels, I have collected a set of pictures of amusement parks.

Below is my coaster listing thusfar by year and net count. I don't
typically ride Kiddy Coasters unless there is no line and no one waiting.
