Love your work fatman. I too adore coasters. I am around your age but fear that by the time my 9 year old son reached the age to come on the big coasters with me, I won't be able to do it anymore. Most recently went on the Hotwheels sidewinder rollercoaster on the Gold Coast of Australia. My son almost came but I'm glad he didn't. Apparently its one of the tallest, high-speed gravity rollercoasters in the Southern Hemisphere. Thye g forces were amazing but many people got off holding their necks. I suffer from mild whiplash so it was an aweful few days of painkillers for me but it was so worth it! So many theme parks on the GC - it's well worth the trip for their coasters. Check out scooby doo, the greeen lantern, superman, buzzsaw to name a few.
Wishing you well.
