  • The focus is red wine and to get right to it without distraction, click The Wine Commonsewer Speaks. The rest of the enchilada is just enough of an eclectic mix of commentary on culture, food, tax, and econ 101 to distract from the focus on red wine.

    We appreciate your patronage.

The Manhattan Express

Good Morning Gentle Readers,

Got a few emails questioning the 43 trips around New York, New York Casino and Hotel in the roller coaster. Some even suggested that TWC was engaging in rank hyperbole.

Nope, that is an actual number. The coaster costs fourteen bucks for the first ride. Seven bucks for a reprise. But, if you buy a pass for $25.00 you can ride as many times as you want between 11:00 AM and 11:00 PM AND you get priority seating without waiting in lines. Course, mid-week the lines were short anyway. TWC spent a goodly amount of time hanging around with a tall plastic cup, filled with Simi Cabernet waiting for the munchkins to alight and dash for the next train.

Body Damage? Yes, Jake was rubbed raw like road rash from where the mechanism clamps onto your shoulders so's you don't plummet to your death on the double loop. One elbow was pretty banged up as well. With the House Blond, it's harder to tell cuz she's pretty beat up anyway, but she seemed to have fared better.

Video is here. Night run here (taken from inside the train)

As Always,

TWC
