Ahhh, what a beautiful day it was to ride the Coasters at Magic Springs on Saturday, August 16th '08. About 10 brave souls made the trip, and... a good time was definitely had by all!
I think this has to qualify for a Family of Rotary event.
The first up, "The Gauntlet" - a ride suspended from the top rather than the traditional car to sit in. A unique ride as it flings you up and over, around and then a wonderful corkscrew spinning twice. WOW. (OK, so thats why you take your hat & shoes off)
Now holding a camera on this kind of ride is a feat unto its self.
Headed to the "Gauntlet"
Sure its SAFE.. Trust Me!
Amazing Ride!
And there was plenty of time while standing in line to solve most of the world's problems... and to catch up on family news. Thank goodness for the mild weather.
O'Quins, Gilberts, & Dennis
Almost there...
Stan's group arrives.
Who's driving this thing?
Now for the traditional wooden Coaster:
The Arkansas Twister!
The anticipation is always the best.
You get a little flutter of the heart...
and,
before you know it,
you are off and gone. . . .
First you gotta go UP...
Then its straight DOWN!
A great day for fellowship.
What a RIDE!

Well, we should definitely do this again because several others wanted to go and could not make the trip.
