I know I'm speaking slowly; it was my first time reading in front of a camera, and believe it or not, I do get a tad bit nervous!
Help me out! My teacher says I speak very well, but I've been questioned about my speech in Chinatown from strangers.
So, I will ask you, 你可以幫我嗎?

Yes, I am still here! During the off-season, instead of doing Weekly Updates, I will begin posting Scream Machines Simulator Coasters! (No Limits may be in the future, I downloaded the demo and have begun to get the hang of it).
But! Over the past few months, I have built MANY roller coasters, this one being my latest; just finished earlier today. Please enjoy Ravine Dweller- a new take on the Wild Mouse.
Beginning in the 2005 season, I visited the park a few times annually. It wasn't until 2007 where I began my enthusiasm for roller coasters, and my passion for Six Flags Great Adventure.
Come 2008, however, my love turned in a new direction, and I was hired to work in the retail department at Six Flags Great Adventure. My first year experience working at Six Flags Great Adventure is one that I will remember and cherish for the remainder of my life. I absolutely can not wait to return next year.
Because of my extremely long work schedule, I had few chances to visit the park. But, I feel as though the footage I did capture this season was put together into a spectacular video.
This video is one that shows my deepest gratitude, sincerity, and appreciation for this wonderful amusement park. My home park, my employer, and my life long companion. Please enjoy my Six Flags Great Adventure 2008 video.

Enjoy the video guys!
I realize that this song has been used in countless Hershey videos. However, it fits the theme appropriately, and I chose to make a totally awesome video with the song. So...

Call it RAW Footage, call it a VTR, whatever. I decided to stop with music videos. They get boring after a while. Expect more videos like this. Like it? Tell me about it.
After a hectic off season, finally, I present to you all- my first Amusement Video of the 2008 season.
Today, Keansburg opened all rides except Wildcat and Sea Serpent (go figure). So we took advantage of it, and even though personally, I only rode Double Shot, I had a great time being in the amusement atmosphere.
Ride Count:
Double Shot: 2x
Hope you enjoy the first video of 2008.
***EDIT***
Congratulations to coastermadab for winning the naming contest!

(NOTE) This is my first time using the new software to create videos. The timing and effects are NO WHERE near what they should be. But I wanted to experiment with the quality after YouTube compression.
A B&M Sit Down, Mammoth delivers riders with unparalleled thrill. Soaring through 7 inversions, this 176 foot monster is a mammoth among coasters.
Beginning your ascent, you enter a tunner climbing a 40° lift slowly driven by tires. Suddenly, before you can blink, you are propelled at a speed of 46 m.p.h. into a Zero-G roll and downward at a steepness of 70° into the first drop. You then begin to climb the tallest vertical loop ever constructed. Reaching the apex of this 158 foot loop, you begin to pick up speed again and rocket into the second Zero-G rolle. After the Zero-G, brace yourself, for you are entering the giant 110 foot tall lakeside cobra roll. Upon exiting the dual inversion element, you soar into the first of two airtime hills. You then climb up and bank to the right through the first loop and into the brake run.
Halting to a speed of 22 m.p.h., you drop and enter the Immelman loop. After a moment of hangtime, and a bit of time to process what just happened to you, you drop again and enter the second of two airtime hills. Soaring over the tree tops, you drop and bank to the right and enter the final element- the heartline roll. After exiting the lakeside inversion, you enter the final brakerun and roll back into the station at a speed of 7 m.p.h.
Mammoth is a custom B&M Sit Down perfect for any thrill seeker looking to challenge the next big thing.
