One of the major ‘nags’ of the summer was finally laid to rest today as we took the kids to Waterworld at Waldameer. The weather was cooler today, which was ideal, though I don’t think either kid would have noticed if it was raining! Waterworld is smaller than I had been led to expect. Or, more fair ...

How does it happen, every year? Summer starts when the kids get out of school and you have this huge vista before you, all the things you’re going to accomplish, both educational and just-for-fun, and the next day comes, and the next–and suddenly it’s August already and almost back to school! How do ...

Good Morning Everyone! Hope you had a good weekend. Did anyone adventure to Roar on the Shore? Or see the movie The Dark Night? According to Time a lot of people decided to see this movie. (I did both) ; ) This photo is actually from last week when I ventured out near Waldameer. This shot is of the ...

Boy, it’s been a good week for Waldameer and its new roller coaster, the Ravine Flyer 2. I mentioned earlier how the new coaster was rated the fourth-best ride in the world by CoasterFanatics.com. Today, the coaster is getting big play in the New York Times in a story about old-fashioned roller coas ...

The new Ravine Flyer 2 roller coaster at Waldameer is getting a lot of love from roller coaster enthusiasts. The Web site CoasterFanatics.com lists the new ride as its fourth-best roller coaster, a pretty lofty ranking for a venue that doesn’t have the marketing power or scale of the Six Flags chain ...

So, after a really crummy day, I went for a walk downtown and before I got block away from house a car full of kids pulled up and called me a "dirty spic". I was really too amazed to be offended - can it be a hate crime if your "attackers" have misunderstood your ethnicity, or perhaps the nature of ...

Shit. I just took a what political party am I quiz &, well, look! It made me a libertarian! Not that I'm that surprised; I think the quiz site wanted people to be libertarians. I'll have to try a couple more. On another quiz I got "dirty hippie." Um, wtf? Anywho...yesterday we went to Waldameer. Me, ...

But then I got the absolute fuck scared out of me. I'm sitting here, reading LJ, drinking Diet Dr. Pepper & Old Rotgut Whiskey & thinking about posting about today. Only the light in the middle room is on. I'm getting pleasantly buzzed. Husband isn't home; he went to play with a friend of his. It's ...

Nice work by Erie Times-News photographer Rob Engelhardt, who captured a point-of-view video of the new Ravine Flyer II at Waldameer. Of course, you can’t ride the coaster just yet. But the GoErie video gives a virtual preview of what it’s like. The views look fantastic. Here it is:

Jack Tirak at Erie Media Go Round gives props to Waldameer owner Paul Nelson for investing in the Ravine Flyer II without taxpayer money. It is indeed worth highlighting Erie entrepreneurs who are putting money into their businesses and investing in the community — especially after the taxpayer-fund ...
