2009 -

Terminator Salvation, Six Flags Magic Mountain
Saw, Thorpe Park

I actually think that's it... still have Blue Fire and MAYBE RingRacer left to go, but, it's looking like the second one won't be open :(

I don't think it's horrible, but Psyclone, back before they let it fall apart was a better ride.

Essentially, all of the other GCI's I've ridden were better, IMHO. (I'm missing Prowler, Trot and Thunderbird.)

That would definitely be pushing it me thinks.

Especially after Evel Kinevel.. I think Termy looks sexy. :)
