Me vs. Superman : A Love Story

So, I think it is possible that I have ridden every variation of the “Goliath” 1 that exists at every Six Flags in the entire country.2 I feel so familiar with this cute coaster3 that I thought I could videotape the ride.4 Well, you’ll soon see that I only made it to the top of the hill until I wimped out. Though, I still give myself props for holding my phone in my hands WITH my arms up the entire ride.5

1. You may know it as the Titan, Superman, etc. I used to put toilet paper in my sneakers when I was a kid to boost my height to ride this bad boy. I’m THAT dedicated.
2. Thank you, Bamboozle Roadshow & Warped Tour for more flags and more fun. I think I may puke before I ever eat another bite of Dip n Dots.
3. I’m still using my alliterations, Mrs. Nuzman!
4. I know I’m going to get a call from my mom in t-minus ten minutes yelling at me for “being so careless with my precious iPhone”. It’s called multitasking! How else would I have captured that beautiful view? I HAD NO CHOICE!
5. Ten points for Gryffindor.

Can you tell I’ve been reading WAY too much Klosterman lately?

    I love that ride. :D We aren't technically allowed to call it the Superman anymore because Darien Lake is not owned by Six Flags anymore. But whatever. :P And I can't believe they let you hold you're phone. I tried to get on it several times while I was there and they kept telling me to put it away. :P

    I love Sex, Drugs, and Cocoa Puffs, and as soon as I started reading this, Klosterman immediately popped in my mind!

    Chuck Klosterman? I remember reading Sex, Drugs, and Cocoa Puffs when i was around 11 or 12. I thought I was cool because the title had sex in it :) I should probably re-read it though, because I don't actually remember anything about it haha.
