Ever go to any parks there? I went to Islands of Adventure about ten years ago when it first came out and it was pretty unreal. The parks these days are so incredible, makes ya feel like a little kid again.

So what's the biggest coaster you guys have been on? Behemoth would be mine, 230 feet high, 77 mph.

Yeah, I used to work at Disney so I've been to all of the Disney parks a lot. As far as parks literally in Orlando go, I think the only one I've been to is the original Universal one. Never been to Islands of Adventure though I've heard it's pretty cool.

Hey speaking of Florida theme parks, do you remember Baseball and Boardwalk?

Thats rad, I've met alot of people that worked at Disney. Have not been there since I was very small. I used to love Pirates though and I heard they redid it. Kissimee and Orlando and all that is the same to me.

Yeah, The Beast is still there.. though for how long I have no idea. I've heard their closing a few rides, The Vortex being one of them

Awesome. 12 MPH. 5ft high. Beat that. I barfed up a lung and everything.

Haha, Kiddie Coasters are surprisingly fun. You go around and around and it feels really fast.

You can't beat the waltzers for throwing your chips back up.
