It sure is, canadmos. I may be going to CP. But for sure in 2 weeks I'm going to some really big dunes. how big, you ask? Imagine Top Thrill Dragster (420 ft) launching into the bottom of the dune, and the tophat is sticking out of the peak of the dune. All you would be able to see is the airplane beacon.
yeah. It is gonna be awesome.

I'm going Africa for two weeks (Ivory Coast to Kenia plus a 1 day trip to Madagascar). From the 14th to the 30th. And no, I won't do any themeparks over there, because:
1)No more money
2)It's a kitesurf and safari-trip, no time to do any.
Kinda suckage, because I really wanted to do at least 1 crappy themepark [:(]
