Anything else you want to say: Wife and I have a shared love of rollercoasters. Our motto is "Open to close, front seat only" and we've followed that mantra at a dozen or so parks together. Trying to get our kids interested now; our 12-year-old son rode Hurler last year as his first "big" coaster and loved it, so wants to ride Copperhead Strike this year. Our 9-year-old daughter is not as brave yet, but loves to ride Wilderness Run and wants to try the no-longer-named-Scooby-Doo coaster this year.
