The Scorpion Rollercoaster at Busch Gardens Tampa, Tampa, Florida

Bond wanted a picture with a sign for his 200th coaster so he could announce his achievement in ACE News (the newsletter of the American Coaster Enthusiasts...if you haven't joined you need to) but we forgot to make one beforehand. So what does his crafty mother do? Of course whip out her Ipad and work up a digital sign for him to hold up in order to commemorate his 200th coaster.

Brian had been talking about how he absolutely had to ride Sandsorm for weeks prior to our trip. So after Scorpion and a hearty lunch at the Desert Grill Restaurant and Theater (Good food & great show by the way) Brian had his spin on Sandstorm.

Brian tried to get me on it but my memory of riding it; and how extremely sick it got me, made it an easy ride to pass on. Brian you ride it all you want I'll just wait.

Sand Serpent is a fun little wild mouse coaster designed by Mack that used to be at Busch Gardens Williamsburg before it headed south in 2003.
