*Best moment - Riding Outlaw Run for the first time, dispatching, and my mom bawling into my arms as I'm clapping like a madman.
*Best individual ride - Outlaw Run, back seat, left side.
*Funniest moment - Falling out on the lift hill of repiV - "This isn't even remotely close to safe!" :lol:
*Scariest moment - Outlaw Run's first drop for the first time - Holy ****
*Strangest moment - Pretty much all of Thunderation.
*Favorite individual park visit - Silver Dollar City just blew me away.
*Nerdiest moment - Talking with another goon in Powder Keg's queue.
*Best non-coaster related thing to happen at a park - Being part of an hourly show at Silver Dollar City - that was hilarious.
*Favorite new experience - Silver Dollar City as a whole.
*Least favorite anything (ride, visit, queue line, anything) - Outlaw Run deciding to be a bitch multiple times in terms of breaking down.
*Best individual ride - Outlaw Run, back seat, left side.

Coaster-wise, the year was crap. I think I rode 9 coasters, of which 4 were new for me.

Best moment of 2013 was definitely Juvelen at Djurs Sommerland!
I was super excited to go on Piraten! The Intamin mega lites are such a hyped coaster model and this would be my first one. As is often the case with hyped rides I got of a bit dissapointed. It was more like riding a pinball machine than a coaster. "Bouncing" from extreme positives to extreme negatives. Not like the feeling of flying you get on other Intamins like Colossos, Bizarro, Skyrush etc. And it was all a bit repetitive, the three s-bends in a row is a bit unimaginative imo. It is a good ride thoug. Just not top 10 material.
Juveln on the other hand, which I thought of as a "filler attraction" (or great family ride at best), was an amazing surprice! Not only is it a long layout but it's also super fast and very intense at moments! Especially the second launch and the upcoming turns are very powerful! Such an amazing ride <3 I wish more parks to get "family" rides like this one in the future!!

I guess it was..my first ride on The Smiler was on the front row, which made it even more amazing! And riding my first B&M Hyper, shambhala! Plus getting quite a few trips to Thorpe this year with also seeing loads of queue jumpers put to shame.
