Sunday, June 4, 2000 marked my riding my 200th roller coaster. Being stuck at 199 for over a year, I wanted to make my 200th coaster something special. I thought riding the oldest existing roller coaster in the world would fit the bill nicely, so Debbi, Joe Pellegrino, Mike Dorris and I drove 5 hours out to Altoona and Lakemont Park. Heading over immediately to Leap the Dips, I took the front seat and made my milestone.

My 100th coaster was Timber Wolf at Worlds of Fun in Kansas City, MO back in 1994 during my 8 Days and 41 Gas Stops motorcycle journey. With my upcoming short journey across the country (for the 3rd time) I hope to hit 250 by summers end.
