Here's a fun game to try: I appear in one photo in the Yearbook, but ye'd have to look carefully. Can ye find me within three minutes?

I have done most of them, and a few opinions. El Toro needs to be higher on list. Boulder Dash is way overrated. The Beast is only on list because its so long. I would like to ride Xped. Geforce some day.... Renegade was way better than Maverick. Cedar Point is the best park! Only  my opinions ladies and gentlemen.
