OT: I grew up in Toledo, so I spent many summer days at Cedar Point. One of my favorite family pictures I have is from the M Force. When you go over the top, they snap your pic and you can buy it at the bottom, right. Well my wife and I bought ours and she is hands straight up, with a huge screaming grin and her hair blowing wildly...having the time of her life. I, on the other hand, am white knuckle gripping the bar, eyes cemented shut with a grimace of sheer terror and death on my face. It's hillarious.

the Millenium Force at Cedar Point

oh man, that first drop is as close as you can get to seeing (the) god(s) (of your preference(s)) without actually dying...

i prefer the back seat, the way it completely lifts off in that near-vertical drop...

oh man...

i'm getting goosebumps...
