100 Things

{Take the 100 Things challenge!}

So I think this is a fantastic way to get me back blogging here on LiveJournal. I've kind of ditched the LJ for WordPress, because I'm trying to get some blogging experience and whatnot. My WordPress blog is still very small in terms of followers because I just don't believe in the begging people to read and comment thing.

But I'm going to do this 100 things challenge. And I think this year for me, the perfect topic is going to be Amusement Parks/Roller Coasters.

So sit down and enjoy the ride!

So I was going to wait until tomorrow to post this, but I just decided to heck with it, and get this started today.

Since I've gone to Six Flags Great Adventure twice so far this amusement park season. I'm going to start my 100 things with ONE of my favorite wooden roller coasters. (I have 3 that are interchangeably my top 3 and all will be featured in due time) but today belongs to:

El Toro (http://rcdb.com/3183.htm)



Why I love El Toro. It's tall, it's fast, and it's just plain awesome. It opened in 2006 and it still feels just as smooth today as it did back then. I also love the lift hill. It's not your typical clank of the chain lift, but it's a cable lift, so instead of minutes to get to the top of the lift hill it's a matter of seconds.

Every time I go to Great Adventure, I have to ride El Toro. The park has 12 other roller coasters, and while some of those are awesome. I just have to ride El Toro every time.
