Alex's Coaster Expedition

Yes, it has been close to forever since I came up with the idea to create this blog. I think it's safe to say that it was a complete and total failure. However, I may actually try and get something going this summer when I take my first "roller coaster trip." I've been wanting to do this for a few years now and I'm finally in the situation where I'm able to go...

-I have money
-I already have a job lined up
-I have a little over a week off between the end of final exams and the start of my job

I'm not too sure how many parks I'm going to hit, but I would like to hit at least 3, if not 4. Here's the list

-King's Island
-Holiday World
-Indiana Beach
-Six Flags Great America

One might ask why I'm not including Cedar Point and/or Michigan's Adventure in that group. I've been to both of those parks way too many times. It's sad, but Millennium Force just isn't as fun the 15th time around. Being the engineering nerd that I am, I know exactly what to expect.

I'll be taking this trip either alone or with one other person, staying with friends along the way. The only tough part will be the Indiana area. I've got friends in Columbus and Chicago, but nowhere in between. Perhaps I'll just spend one night in my car at a rest stop.

Yea, so I came across my blogger account by some random chance tonight. I thought I'd waste a little more time and write an entry. Now it's time for bed. Three classes tomorrow then it's the weekend!
