Great idea, I might have to do this in my dorm room

when I go to college......

It actually reminds me of Shivering

Timbers.....

If you need any accurate planning on the comp, contact me

and I can make it into a NL track.....

Yea, I live about 5 min from SFSTL.....

You can write letters to parks and ask them for posters, always rember to ask nicely

and say you are willing to pay for them....

If you say that they will almost

always send you one for no charge......

I asked the SFSTL humans

director when I went to apply for a job there if they had any posters and they gave me

several, one of BTR, Mr. Freeze, and the Boss.....

They are

awsome....

Send a park a professional looking letter stating that

you love coasters, and that you collect different coaster memoriblia....

I

wasn't able to get a job because I applied too late and all the 15 year old

postitions were full, but I am going to apply next year to be a ride op.....

I don't have a full coaster idea but I think you

should do an Emmelman or dive loop on the turnaround. It would take up less space.

Just a thought.

Xcleration Factor!
