Last weekend I couldn’t resisting running off to the movie theater to see Iron Man. As a fan of comics, I think some super hero movies are really bad, mainly because they don’t always use the source material very well. Case in point, Venom in Spider-Man 3.  But I will have to say Iron Man rocked. Robert Downey JR was a perfect Tony Stark. The supporting cast was great as well and this came as a relief because I really wasn’t too thrilled with the Iron Man animated movie. Mainly because I didn’t like what they did with Mandarin,  they totally butchered his character.  This not the case with the live action film, it was great!

We came, we saw and we rode everything…..twice! Six Flags was a blast. The park was not busy at all, practically empty. I think the longest line was about 10 minutes, and that was for Goliath and Superman. The weather was great, not too cold or too hot. I have to say it couldn’t have been much better!

Joey Styles is gone from the ECW announce booth and replaced my Mike Adamle. This Sucks! Joey is one of the best in the business and to me, irreplaceable. Apparently he’s toking over WWE.com. I wish him all the best and he will be missed. It’s true, anything resembling the original ECW is gone. I guess it’s better than beating a dead horse.

I’ve got family in from Illinois and we’re taking a road trip to Atlanta today. We’re going to head out in about an hour to get to Six Flags right when it opens. I’ll renew my season pass, because it costs less than admission for two days. A season pass will get you into any Six Flags park in the country as many times as you want. I would go every day if I could. Goliath, here we come!

It’s true, I’m a big kid. I have no need to apologize for this because as they say, “You’re only as young as you feel.” I feel much younger than my age. If I never had to work another day in my life, I would spend most of my time traveling the country touring amusement parks. I do this pretty often anyway. I can’t get enough rollercoasters. Up until 2 years ago I had ridden the tallest and fastest that the U.S. has to offer, then Six Flags in New Jersey broke the record again with Kingda Ka. As it stands Kingda Ka is the tallest and fastest coaster in the world and I must ride it. At a dizzying 456 ft high and reaching a top speed of 128mph It looks incredible!
