Real Florida? Who knew....

Who knew that right behind the Magic Kingdom you could find this....
 Its kinda nice I guess, to see there are still large open spaces, lakes, swamps.... and not just theme parks.
In an odd way.. It kinda felt nice to just 'get away' from all the 192 and I-Drive crap.. yet I was right next to them both, it didn't feel it.
Its almost kinda sad that this is the real Florida and it seems like most people who visit here never even get to see it.
But I guess I'm not really one to talk.. As it took me almost a year of living here until I started to really explore the area outside of the amusement parks and tourist traps... Hell, I ended up finding this area by accident just on my way to work taking the back roads.

Ooh, I've wasted my life (And money)

So after playing around with google maps for a bit.. and RCDB at the same time.. I made a map to see where all I've been.... And now I'm kinda sad.

Just giving a little preview....

It's still a work in progress... But it gives a pretty good idea of how much of my life I've spent going to amusement parks... :( - I'm a loser, here's the map....

Oh, Larson.....

I'd like to thank you for making the car-crash of a ride, High Roller / Crazy Train. And I'd like to thank Wade Shows for still bringing their awful-themed Roller "Kick Flip" to the Central Florida Fair for at least the past two years.


I guess its... Skateboard themed

It's fun...and stuff.
I'm not sure why.. But both times I've seen this one... It's been missing its 5th car....

Yay!
So again, thank you Larson and Wade for making this the best birthday ever, I hope to ride your awful ride in the years to come. (I really do love this awful ride) The odd oval-shaped loop.. the fun flipping motion the entire ride makes.. as the train goes around the oval loop... And the terrible sounds it makes.. Oh, and I love how friendly this ride is for tall riders like myself, oh wait. But hey, its lapbar-only?
