Phoenix - Knoebels Skyrush - Hersheypark Pantherian (Intimidator 305) - Kings Dominion Fury 325 - Carowinds X2 - Six Flags Magic Mountain Arie Force One - Fun Spot Atlanta Steel Vengeance - Cedar Point - I really wish RMC stuck with this style of coaster over the whole "rip your body in half"...

They went with the cheapest manufacturer. If they went to Gerstlauer from the start, this would've probably already opened by now.

402. Wild Mouse - Cedar Point So I was with my boyfriend trying to ride this and it broke down right before I got to the station (a pretty regular occurrence over the two days I was at Cedar Point). While the shutdown wasn't too long, I was trying to get to Steel Vengeance before the park...

Valravn is a solid crowd pleasing coaster, but I think Siren's Curse does the whole drop gimmick better. I love the way it sits on the midway. It's really imposing. I think Griffon and Oblivion do a better job making the drop part of the observation area. More dives should take advantage of...

Today I conquered my 400th coaster! Iron Dragon Ever since I rode my first coaster (Big Bad Wolf) and became an enthusiast, I've made it an effort to ride every single Arrow suspended coaster and I've not only conquered every currently operating suspended coaster, but I've made the last one I...

I intentionally skip coasters all the time. Sometimes its due to time, sometimes I prioritize rides so that causes me to skip stuff. It took me about 6-7 visits to SFGAdv before I got all the credits lol. I went to CW and only rode 4 of the 17 coasters they have there. I skipped Invertigo at...

Coliwood Studios posted an update! Orange markers have showed up on the construction site. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dObc0DkDDZg

390. Steel Curtain - I finally got this ride after it being closed when I went to Kennywood during COVID in 2020. I wasn't sure what to expect but I love that this ride focuses more on positive G's while Phantom focuses more on negative G's. The ride is really comfy and the inversions pull some...

1. Velocicoaster - Islands of Adventure - what hasn't been said about this ride. This ride is a perfect overall package. 2. Pantheon - Busch Gardens Williamsburg - what it lacks in atmosphere, it delivers in a great punch. The backwards launch is unreal. 3. Storm Runner - Hersheypark - Its a bit...

Phoenix - Knoebels Skyrush - Hersheypark Pantherian (Intimidator 305) - Kings Dominion Fury 325 - Carowinds X2 - Six Flags Magic Mountain Arie Force One - Fun Spot Atlanta Twisted Timbers - Kings Dominion The Ride to Happiness - Plopsaland de Panne El Toro - Six Flags Great Adventure Iron Gwazi...

389. Mine Cart Madness - This quirky little coaster suffers from having really low capacity for a massive destination resort like Universal. The theme is really fun. The queue is a bit on the brutal side, especially in the outdoor section. For such a low capacity ride, the line still moves at a...

For a recent coaster, Curse of the Werewolf is a surprisingly great family coaster. While it is a tad on the shorter side, the launches are super punchy and many of the coasters elements have a nice kick to them. IDK if I'd wait 70-100 mins for it. but if the line is reasonable, I would...

There's a bell on the load side that I believe was the bell in the church tower on BBW. Everything but the station and the gift shop are new builds.

Gotta be patient with a camera. Doesn't matter if you're bringing a point n shoot, using your phone, or using an SLR. Usually if I'm bringing my SLR, I stick with one lens. Unless I'm going to specifically get camera shots, I won't worry too much about changing lenses. My rule of thumb for...

1. Wicker Man 2. Thunderhead 3. Mystic Timbers 4. Texas Stingray 5. Kentucky Rumbler 6. Gold Striker 7. Apocalypse: the Ride - This ride was pretty fun but even front row rides felt a tad rough. I love the queue theming, easily some of the best found on any GCI. That being said, the...
