2013 was a very special year for my roller coaster
riding. It is the first time my wife and I went on an international
trip with American Coaster Enthusiasts. This year's trip was to central
Europe. During the year, I visited 27 parks and experienced 142 coasters.
Here's the list of coasters and parks for 2013, listed in the approximate
order that they were visited and experienced. Parks and coaster in
bold were parks or coasters that I did not experience in 2000 through
2012. Coasters ridden by my daughter Katie are designated with (K)
after the name. A bold (K) indicates her first year
riding that coaster.
