After a couple more rides on Nitro, we headed over to...

...we'd made it to the (almost totally empty) parking lot. We'd made such good time on the way down that we had plenty of time to set up my camera to try to catch shots of us jumping in the air using the auto-timer. Haha.

Taken just a second before our car went over the drop. Hahah.

With a belly full of food, we opted for the smooth speed of NITRO!

Here's a pic (stolen from Dens!) of us on the coaster! This was the ride where Dennis discovered he wasn't a huge fan of roller coasters! (The three of us all have our arms in the air and he's holding on for dear life).

And here's Dens and Karen. Check out the photo of Dens on the right: 0 - 128mph in 3.5 seconds = G-forces smoooooshing yer face. Hahaha.

Long story short, we get to Kingda Ka and the line is closed. I give the guard a sob story about how we'd only gotten to ride ONE RIDE (er, ok...and a $20 handshake...cha-ching!) and we were magically admitted to the line. Four hour wait, my ass! Wooooo! Here's us right up at the front of the line.

After Batman, we headed over to check out Nitro - which at 230ft (over 20 storeys!!!) is the largest traditional roller coaster on the entire east coast.

Here's a picture of us pretending we're not scared shitless.

This picture does the size of this coaster no justice. It's insanely tall.
