Never been a big Hawking fan, been quite awhile since I read it though.
Me and Miss SO went to ride Pantheon here at Busch Gardens in Williamsburg and , let me tell you, intense, real intense, its the same manufacturer that did Velocicoaster at Universal (which is in my top ten) but this is just nuts. A few things if you plan on coming to ride it, number one if you're over 6'2 you cannot ride it, also unfortunately due to the intensity and stalling loops waist size matters and I had to watch a few people in disappointment not allowed to ride. After riding the coaster I understand but it still sucked to watch people turned away due to their size. Then again, it has reinforced my need to lose weight as I'm carrying over 20 pounds on my frame that's unnecessary and unhealthy. Here's to eating better and drinking less when I return from vacation. Also, Williamsburg is still such a cool chill area, check out the Powhatan Resort, full kitchens, washer dryer etc for like $130 a night. No I was not paid for that but we've stayed here 3x and it's always been a blast.
