Okay so I had this idea. We can do this every year if everything goes successful. Here's how it works:

Each time you go to SDC keep track of how many times you rode each ride. I'm thinking we will do these rides listed:

• Wildfire
• Powderkeg
• ThuNderaTion
• Fire in the Hole
• American Plunge
• Lost River of the Ozarks
• Frisco Silver Dollar Line
• The GIANT Swing

(If you guys want any other rides listed just say so, but I consider these the main rides)

Anyways once you get back from your trip post how many times you rode each ride in this format:

Your Username: Trip Date
Wildfire: However many times you rode
Powderkeg: However many times you rode
ThuNderaTion: However many times you rode
Fire in the Hole: However many times you rode
American Plunge: However many times you rode
Lost River of the Ozarks: However many times you rode
Frisco Silver Dollar Line: However many times you rode
The GIANT Swing: However many times you rode

Now to keep things fair; since some people like me, Joy, Steve, etc. can't make it to the park all the time like some people that live in Branson or Springfield, you can't post your numbers more than once a month. If you go to SDC seven times in one month, you may only post one of your trip credit numbers. Don't add them all together either please. This is just to keep things fair.

Each ride will have an individual winner. If you win you will get a sig banner to put in your signature. You then can sport that across the forums for all of 2009. If you win more than one ride title then all your rides can be placed on one signature. If someone else could make the signatures that would be great. I can't make anything like that.

The game will end on December 30, 2008 (the last day of operation for SDC). Just post your trip numbers in this topic once a month only for the trip you want. If there are any questions or if I left something out just tell me. This should be fun. Here are my numbers. Once you guys post your numbers I will edit those into this post.

You can currently post for March, April, and May (if you want to use a trip you have already went on in May).

Have fun!

(it was a very slow day no lines, i like my birthday weekend for that fact it's usually really slow with riders but heavy on show guests)
(the 5th time on the swing was the 3rd back to back trip and i felt very queezy (sp) after getting off the third time.)

^It seems to me that TGS might be your favorite ride? Just a guess....

[DocSpeleo]

haha just because it's new... i did the same thing when the other new rides came in.  but the swing just does something for me lol
hahahaha
Here's a picture of it with dummies on the ride before the park opened.  I snapped a quick picture and tried to enhance a zoomed pic in there so you could see the dummies riding the ride while employees were training on how to work it.

^ That's great! I have to agree with you. The Giant Swing scared me in a way roller coasters can't. Such amazing views, too!
