Coasters!

me on Silver Bullet
(robot camera)

Knott's Berry Farm has acquired quite a collection of roller coasters over its lengthy tenure as America's first theme park.

I sampled Silver Bullet (front row!), Ghostrider, Boomerang and Xcelerator. The Farm won the Lisebergsapplåd award (name for Liseberg in Sweden) in 1988.

PS: yes I know this "inflated chipmunk" look isn't my most popular -- maybe too much like Elvis (the dead one). But hey, family members found it endearing. So just call me "a master of many disguises" (that's like a note to old girl friends or something).
