Sounds like a great vacation! I agree that the roller coaster is clearly the best part. Did they have ones for other genres? Like a hip hop coaster with big 25 inch wheels and sub-woofers? Or maybe an a capella one where there isn’t really any ride, you just walk around by yourself?

(NukeDad) You might be on to something Matt. They could do a “Tommy” rollercoaster: just blindfold people, put plugs in their ears, put them in a box and shake it around! I think they tried a Hip Hop coaster, but the riders complained that they couldn’t get any gun shots off cuz it was movin’ too fast.

I can just imagine the coaster with “Whole Lotta Love” as loop music: you ascend the big hill with “Waaaaay down inside…. woman…. yooooou neeeeed uh….(dun dun!)” and then go over the edge with “Loooooooooooooooove!” Yeah. I could design rides with that kind of music.
As for the parking… they ought to have trophies for those who make it all the way to the highest (lowest?) level, and weekly competitions. They could charge an entry fee. Maybe better not say that out loud, they’ll start considering it. Glad you made it out alive.

(NukeDad) They could televise it on ESPN 8 “The Ocho”. Dodgeball and parking lot races! The sponsors are lining up already!

We went to Myrtle Beach in 1996 for a Shriner’s Convention. (I mean really, isn’t that the best reason to go?) My father-in-law, a Shriner Clown, was being “crowned” the Big Poobah or whatever the lead position was called in the Southeast Clown Division, or whatever the hell that was. They wanted our then-4-year-old to put his goofy hat on him in the ceremony. Makes me think of Mr. Cunningham. Anyway, the Lazy River was one of the very best parts of Myrtle Beach for me…I can’t remember too much else about it except that it was crawling with Shriners and motorcycle groups.

(NukeDad) What kind of mileage do those go-carts get? I bet it took him quite a while to drive it down there. Oh, the bikers have their own “Bike Week” now, they get upwards of 200,000 bikers for it. They get everything from Hell’s Angels to yuppies on their rice burning crotch-rockets.

Too old and too married? BWAHAHAHA! Also, this Nascar thing you’ve got going might be our demise. Just sayin’.

(NukeDad) Read closely; I never said I was a fan. When in Rome….
