Good Trip report and pics Ben! Did you ever get to shoot Tastu down from your bunker? 

  

That shot there Jason would make a good Desktop for someone! very nice pictures.

I agree.  That's some high quality field work.  Our SFMM gallery was vomit inducing prior to his trip.

I love this shot. Perfection!

That pic makes me miss the OE that much more.

X2 is a great deal of fun.  It was my first ride on it and I was expecting to be underwhelmed as it had been talked up A LOT.  But words just don't do this ride justice it is just awesome, Number one steel coaster on my list.

Well if your expecting it to be like any other coaster you have ridden then you'll be disapointed. 
The thing is just totally unique and fun.

You know southwest has $150 roundtrip flights to lax, I am thinking of going back just for a quick day at the park! 

Glad you guys liked the pics and things, though I can't take credit for all of them, Sarah is responsible for several of them.  She is way better at composing pics than I am.

you know you're probably right. too bad too.  From the way some of the locals were talking in line X had gotten pretty rough in its last year and X2 was a much needed improvement. 

There is a very fine line between aggressive and painful.

Seriously?  I'll do it.
