I have serious issues, so I'm
is awesome, I had forgotten just how cool that place is. Yesterday we took all four kiddos and went. They all had a blast, and were in awe of the roller coasters. I haven't been there since piggy and I were dating, like 18 years ago or so. Some of the new rides are just insane.
Top Thrill Dragster, 420 feet high with a 400 foot drop straight down, 0-120 mph in under 4 seconds.
Did I go on it? HELL no.
Video of the ride I found on UTube:

This one is the Power Tower, this one is "only" 300 feet tall:
Piggy freaked out on the cable cars, said they were the scariest ride there.
The best part of the trip was a game piggy played, called the High Striker, where you hit as hard as you can with a big rubber hammer. A man ahead of us kept trying and trying to win a prize for his wife, at $2 a pop, and only managed a score of 70. He told his wife that the game was "fixed" and impossible to win. Then piggy stepped up and hit it as hard as he could and won it in one blow, with a score of 150 (had to get 100 to win a prize) and proudly handed me a stuffed toy in front of the other guy's wife, it was so funny, I was laughing my ass off. The other guy was embarrased.
My feet are still sore, I got sunburned again, but it was a fun day!!
