When I was a GP...

I have forbidden myself from speaking about such a time.

It must be hard to forbid yourself from speaking about who you truly are.

1: When I was a GP, I thought that Legoland was made out of countless Lego pieces. 2: When I was a GP, I thought that GP was, oh my stupid, Grand Prix, lol!

I used to think the SLC at Walibi Belgium was better than Black Mamba for some reason

As do I on the helix of Steel Force.... And I used to try to raise my legs a little on great bear too, I don't think theres another invert that has foot choppers like that

Great Bear had me like that too

Also, even now I get nervous watching metal flex, especially on Wicked Twister's spikes, where those sway a far distance in the wind! I go on them anyway and trust the designers, since I'm no structural and material engineer myself

I used the call rides "The (ride name)" and if it didn't make sense that way I would say ride at the end xD (ex: "The Manta" "The Journey to Atlantis Ride").

^ Batman: "The Ride". You still can go on with the way you did before!

OH OH OH

I acted like a GP at Magic Mountain last week. In the final helix's after the MCBR on Goliath, I was a bit scared to have my hands out to the side cause I wasn't really trusting in Six Flags and the not very known Giovanola to make sure the clearance between supports and hands were enough

If you put your hands out on Boulder Dash you risk having your arms chopped off by trees!

I hit my hand against a wall on winja's force once, it was bleeding. The onride photo shows how much pain I had.

MY GOD IT'S TRUE

... I used to find most awkward transitions awfully designed!

Oh god where to begin!

- I used to think that Nemesis @ Alton Towers was dangerous because of the B&M roar.
- I thought every roller coaster in the world was manufactured by Vekoma.
- I thought launched coasters were launched by an engine on the back of the train.
- I thought that if it rained log flumes would flood and the cars would come out of the trough.
- I believed the Big One @ Blackpool was the tallest coaster in the world.
- I used to think Rita @ Alton Towers was the fastest coaster in the world.
- As a kid I thought that the only thing keeping the cars on the track during an inversion was very strong glue...

I know, but I thought it still was in 2013...

I used to think the small dragon "coaster" at the fair was the only roller coaster in existence.
A few years later when I heard about SFOG, I thought that it was the only Six Flags (like many people)
I thought that Batman was held onto the track by super powerful magnets and that if you were to close anything that was metal that you had would get attracted to the ride.
I had no idea that 200 feet wasn't the legal limit for coaster height.
I honestly believed that every water ride at SFOG got it's water from the Chattahoochee because it's right next to the park.

When I was a "small" GP, I used to find amusement parks to be the planet's VERY best places.
