New Fast and Furious Coaster looks Awesome (And will Dad ride it?)

(This is a guest blog entry by my dad!)

It looks awesome. It really does. And nobody who knows me well would think that I - of all people - wouldn’t be excited about a Fast and Furious ride. Excuse me, FAMILY…

I should stop for a second and say this, though. If I had my way I would be headed over to UO today to get on Rip Ride Rockit. I genuinely love the Fast and Furious franchise, and I genuinely love(d :( ) RRR. It was “our ride,” the one where we always picked the same song from the secret menu. Always “103,” Jim Morrison, Break on Through… and going on RRR became known to us as “going on Jim,” or “going Jim.” … “Just a quick trip to UO for something to eat and going Jim real fast.”

More on that some other time…

But walking by there and taking the nostalgia and sadness out of the equation for a minute, “the new Family” looks really good, and really fun. It looks LONG, and that “spike” at the top looks JUST about like it’s going to be my “limit” for intensity. LOL! I did go on Stardust, three times, and it’s now one of those ones “I’m going to have to not do anymore.” Velocicoaster is close to that too, but I’ll go on it if someone really wants me to. I think Fast and Furious Hollywood Drift looks like it’ll be okay. I’ve gotta try it at least once. Then I will decide whether it’s one of the ones I do all of the time, or one of the ones where I let the kids go by themselves while I enjoy some popcorn on the bench.

What about you? Are you going to try it?
