Things To Do During A RIDGE

[cdcollura]

Man, if you're going to go to Cedar Point, at least ride Magnum XL-200! The Top Thrill Dumpster is probably one of the most boring, unimaginative coasters ever built

True ... I rode them all there, and each one was different.

Top Thrill Dragster is just a "quick shot" and "bragging rights". Magnum XL was awesome, and so was Millenium Force!

MAN do I miss Cedar Point. Stuck here in the ridge that is (was) Tornado Alley. Only wind in my hair would be on Magnum XL-200 or Millennium Force!!!! *sigh*

Chris and all,

I have relatives in Dallas, so I go see them when death ridges strike during my chase vacations.

Also, being an aerospace enthusiast, I visit museums such as the Kansas Cosmosphere in Hutchinson, KS, the Stafford Museum in Weatherford, OK, and the American Airlines Museum outside of Dallas.

Well, I guess I should have stayed home to get an early start on hurricane season. While I'm up here in SD and NE positioning under "SEE TEXT" SPC risk areas, my home state is experiencing tropical storm force winds, embedded supercells, flooding rains, and oh yes, even tornado warnings. Yeah, I've done a lot of the sight-seeing type of things to pass the death ridge time and still do, but I'm a little too depressed right now to list my favorites. On a more positive note, I might have a job when I return home, so no, I'm not drowning in sour grapes, just a bit disappointed for the time being.

Terror is coming to the Plains...

Pish on it, I will leave tornado alley and go SW and maybe see something out there while nothing is going on here.

Time to head to Sante fe, NM. play in the monsoon rains and some poker at the casinos! . maybe a few rounds of golf.

There is always June and a few nice slow moving LP's in the panhandle and east colorado.

How about dust devil chasing in the southwest or spout chasing off the coast of Florida?

How about dust devil chasing in the southwest?

Almost forgot that was a chance down there. LOL

Florida/Gulf coast does seem like a good play now. If I had a fixed vacation I'd probably be heading down there at least for a few days.

Ha ha, I love the pics! Too funny, the SPC outlooks and others. Know what I'm doing during the Ridge, I'm coming to ST to get my laughs for the day on this topic! Thanks, guys and gals. =]

Those pics of TTD - yipe. There's a limit to insanity, and this coaster exceeds that. Have another name for it - Rip Yer Face Off. 'Course, trying to stay sane during a Ridge is past the point of insanity, so ... *sigh*

Save a spot in line for me, 'k?
