| Talon was built at Dorney Park for the 2001 season. It is a B&M inverted coaster... for the uneducated
that means it was built by the Swiss company Bolinger and Mabillard, and the train rides below
the track. It's a fantastic ride and in my opinion, it nearly rivals the Raptor at
Cedar Point.
This picture was taken close to sundown. I'm standing right in front of the Talon sign. Taken: September 2001 |

| Ok, so I'm not really on a roller coaster in this photo,
but Cedar Point's Raptor is in the background of this
shot. Raptor is one of my top 5 favorite coasters. It's an amazing ride. I
was on the midway ride crossing the park in this picture.
Taken: July 2001

This is the train passing through the first teardrop loop after the drop. | Medusa at Six Flags Great Adventure leaving the station.

| This is Storm Runner at Hersheypark. It is an Intamin launched or "rocket" coaster. | It's not the initial hill of Phantom's Revenge at Kennywood that is the most fun (as pictured here), but rather, the second hill, which careens down the side of a ravine and is much longer than the first hill. | One of the first coasters I was ever "terrified" of, the Comet at Waldameer Park in Erie, PA. As a kid, I went to Waldameer many times for school or family trips. I was always scared of the lone coaster they had there. Nowadays, it's so small compared to many of the others I've been on, but it's still fun. |
