| Comet Con(s) | Stark Raven Mad | Blue Streak Bash | Coast-to-Coast Coastering | 
| Some of the best events I've been to have been the WNYCC's annual Comet Con at Great Escape in New York. | Talk about a park that goes all out for coaster enthusiasts! | I was thankfully able to attend the grand re-opening of my #4 wooden coater, the Blue Streak at Conneaut Lake. | I had offered to drive my friend's car from New Jersey to his new house in California, and he took me up on it. So in the course of 8 days I drove his Saturn wagon almost 4,000 miles, visited 10 amusement parks, and rode 30 new roller coasters. | 
| My 200th Coaster | PTC Factory Tour | ||
| June 4, 2000 marked my riding my 200th 
        roller coaster. Being stuck at 199 for over a year, I wanted to make my 
        200th coaster something special. I thought riding the oldest existing 
        roller coaster in the world would fit the bill nicely | Spent my 36th birthday weekend hitting 
        Whalom, Lake Compounce, SFNE and Rye | At the first Eastcoaster I attended, Tom 
        Rebbie of Philadelphia Toboggan Coasters offered those attending a special 
        treat - a guided tour of the factory in Lansdown, PA.  |
