Here's your humble author with Daffy Duck.

Now if you're a nerd or have seen the British sci-fi show Doctor Who you will get my shirt. What amazed me throughout the day was that I had dozens of ladies commenting on it.

"He likes Dr. Who"

Yep been watching it since the 80's.

"Oh my God it's a TARDIS shirt"

I'd hear all of this as we walked around the park and it was really frustrating. I mean where were all of these ladies when I was a teenager staying up late watching Dr. Who (who was played back then by old men with bad teeth and not some cute young guy) on the local PBS channel all desperate for a date?

Despite the ladies digging my shirt Bond looked much cooler than me hanging with Daffy.

Iron Wolf is gone but left it's station.

Actually the station was first used for Z-Force and then it was re-used for Iron Wolf. My guess is that Six Flags might have plans to put another coaster here someday since they left it up instead of demolishing it.

Vertical Velocity is like the Whizzer or Triple Play. Whenever we walked past we had to hop in line and take it for a ride.
