Happy 4th of July (And the Coolest Roller Coaster on Earth!)


Happy 4th everyone. I’m not working much this week, as I’m vacationing with my wife and kids in New Jersey (visiting family) but I wanted to share something I did during the 4th week. Back when I was a kid, I remember going to Six Flags all the time so I wanted to make sure I took my kids there when they were finally old enough to ride all the roller coasters. Well, as soon as we pulled into the parking lot I saw this insanely-hugely-tall roller coaster (called Kingda Ka), and my 10 year old son and I immediately knew we had to go on. We even waited an extra 20 minutes to sit up front. All I can say is this thing was freakin’ crazy! By far the best roller coaster I’ve ever been on. Here’s a video if you want to get a front-seat view of what it looks like.
FYI… the video is not mine (I saw it on Youtube), and it’s not me sitting in the front. However, if you watch the guy on the right about halfway through the video, you’ll get an idea of how much I screamed and just how I probably sounded to my son :)
Have a great, fun, and safe 4th of July!

    That’s crazy! The ride was less than a minute. You should borrow Scott’s D800 and video it.

    Have a great 4th!

      I’d love to. They won’t even let you hold anything on it though.
