Aw c'mon, give Paul a break. I wouldn't presume to speak for him, but I
know that if I was in his position, I'd probably be just a little let down
that the records were stolen from The Voyage. In fact, I AM a little let
down. I love HW and I was glad to see that they were going to be a record
holder for a little bit because it was a nice change from the usual CP,
SFGAdv, SFMM record holder thing.

I live in central TX and I have never had a record breaking coaster go up
anywhere near me. Well, OK, TX Giant held a record for a little bit, but
even that was disputed with Hercules. Any other TX coasters that might have
held records, lost that status long before I got here. If there was
suddenly a huge record breaking coaster going up at SFFT, and before it even
got built some other park a thousand miles away from me announced a coaster
that was going to steal the record from it, I'd be just a tad disappointed.

That said, I did watch the video of El Toro and it took my breath away. It
looks like a fantastic coaster. Too bad it'll be years before I ever manage
to get to NJ to ride it.
