Matt McIrvin<p>I was almost anxious: After all these years, would the old Loch Ness Monster hold up? It does. <a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/tags/rollercoasters" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>rollercoasters</span></a></p>
mattlqx<p>Surprise!

Bob K Mertz<p>(1/2) Yesterday at Kings Dominion we were waiting for Grizzly to reopen after a rainstorm and a sheriff deputy walked down with an tablet and used it to take a picture of the ride rules sign at the entrance to the ride and then walked up there exit ramp into the station... We kind of looked at each other in confusion and then another person chimed in and showed us a picture he had taken just a little before the rainstorm of someone sitting on the catwalk on the lift hill. <a href="https://opencoaster.net/tags/rollercoasters" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>rollercoasters</span></a></p>

Jack C.<p>I love the times when I know for sure that my wife's enjoyment of things I'm into is completely genuine. Yesterday she called me to get my opinion on which <a href="https://indieweb.social/tags/pinball" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>pinball</span></a> machine she should play with her friend she's out of town visiting 🥰</p><p>I never want her to feel like she has to engage with my hobbies just for my benefit. It goes both ways too. She got me into <a href="https://indieweb.social/tags/rollercoasters" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>rollercoasters</span></a> and amusement parks, and I've now ridden 100 unique coasters with her. I'm slowly working on a <a href="https://indieweb.social/tags/blog" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>blog</span></a> post about this.</p>

Matt McIrvin<p>The iconic view of Wildcat's lift hill (and Phobia Phear Coaster and Down Time) looming above the entrance gate of Lake Compounce. The park had short hours today, with a bunch of school trips visiting, and Boulder Dash wasn't running, but Wildcat was. Since the track work over the past couple of seasons, it's running better than it has in decades and we were sure to get in a ride. </p><p>The highlight, though, was that their excellent raft ride Thunder Rapids (which can be frustratingly hard to find operating) *was* running today and we got in three rides on it. I think this was also the first time I actually went in the lake, at the small beach there. </p><p><a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/tags/rollercoasters" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>rollercoasters</span></a> <a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/tags/rollercoaster" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>rollercoaster</span></a></p>
