What are some of your other passions and interests beyond swimming?

Originally posted by Scansy Rollercoasters are awesome. My whole family loves them - (except the four year old!). We go to Hershey Park a couple of times each summer - they have a new one (Stormrunner) that starts you on flat ground and somehow accelerates you to 70 miles an hour in under two seconds. Then shoots you up a hill that comes back down "nearly vertical" (their words). I can say that when you are on the ground looking at it and especially when you are riding it feels like vertical. Then it does the standard loops, corkscrew stuff. It's a relatively small amusement park, but Hersheypark has rollercoasters that rank with any park I've been to. They have two "new" wooden ones that really toss you around too. We debated going to Hersey this summer and decided on Cedar Point because it is closer and DS has been wanting to go there a long time. He and I like coaster, DH and DD do not!
