Most posters in these forums don't pay attention to the thread starter's directions and the longer it goes the more off track it will get.

^ Uh uh, no you didn't. You know very well that Volcano at Paramount's King's Dominion has inverted track. How the hell can it fly off the track??

[holladay]

^ What are you talking about? Riding the tracks? People don't ride Amtrak anymore. It's just a service we keep around for novelty value.

[Segun]

^ Thats true, Novelties make good stocking stuffers.

The only reason I listed California's tallest is that Oregon and Washington are technically "the Pacific Northwest" and have an unhealthy hatred of all things from the Golden State ;)

For Texas:

Houston - JPMorgan Chase Tower - 1,002 feet - 75 floors - 1982
Dallas - Bank of America Plaza - 921 feet - 72 floors - 1985
Fort Worth - Burnett Plaza - 567 feet - 40 floors - 1983
San Antonio - Marriott Rivercenter Hotel - 546 feet - 38 floors - 1988, (441 feet without the spires).
Austin - Frost Bank Tower - 515 feet - 33 floors - 2004

Currently Austin is building a new tallest which will be 563 feet tall with the spire and 472 feet to the roof with 44 floors. We also have a 780 foot, 55-story tower and a 700+ foot tower with 47 floors in the planning stages. And right now I get the best feeling from that 780 footer, "The Austonian".

^ A person can never get enough stuffing. Stove Top, Double-Stuffed Oreos, down comforters. Stuffing makes the world go 'round.
