Don't know about that, I've got a good 6 years of extra misery over Sonic.  I reckon Sonic should be Kinky Tom the 2nd.

We do seem to display similar tendancies.  (Leave all the gay jokes out, that's not what I meant)

We looked at the queue (3 hours) and watched the ride, it was the same as the corkscres but only the first 50mph is quick so we deided to leave it!

It had a rubbish cart and looked not all that good!

I'd go on it.  Might need some new shorts after, but I'd definately give it a go.
