It is that time of the year again. While the main part of the US-park season nears a conclusion, we've reached announcements & awards season! Who's ready? Let's look at the Golden Ticket Awards. While no single award show or voting system is universally correct, many point to the GTAs as the...

With all of the rumors and current 2017 announcements, it appears that 2017 might not have as many roller coaster additions. Do you think that this means that it will be a down year? Also, might that indicate that 2018 will be more coaster-focused? Edited to correct grammar in title. - ECG

Okay, so this question might have been asked before, so, if that is the case, please accept my apologizes (and please point me to the proper post). There is a 60/40 or 70/30 chance that I will be able to film a few POVs at one or two parks next year, so I wanted to get some pointers from the...

Apparently Bart Kinzel is out... he resigned or something to that tune, and now Dorney Park's Michael Fehnel is the new GM as the upcoming expansion project nears its grand announcement later this month. Here is my quick post about the news ==>>...

Okay, so I have not been to Carowinds or KD, but I will be at each this week. However, I have 3 CP shirts, 3 or 4 KI shirts, and a few SFOG shirts... are there unspoken rules that many prefer to follow? Of course, I will probably not take SFOG shirts with me since I will not be at a Six Flags...

So, I have only been stuck on a ride twice, and both occasions happened within the past year. August 2013 - In my first trip back to Cedar Point (and first time Elaine ever went there), all was well... until we got on Mantis! I do like Mantis (since it was my first stand-up coaster), but we...

I am big into marathons and anything coasters. I have done a few already and know what I do to get ready, but I am always anxious to learn from others and implement accordingly. Currently, I am getting ready for the Children's Healthcare of Atlanta Coasterthon - 9 to 10 hours on the...

Back when I was going to Cedar Point every summer and before Fast Lane (back when they just offered two quick line wrist stamps per person), I recall that CP had either an informal or somewhat formal challenge. I think you had to ride Wicked Twister, MF, and Top Thrill all within 1 hour...

We all hear about those typical days that are busiest at the parks (i.e. holidays, spring break, opening day, last day of the operating season, Mother's Day, Memorial Day, Father's Day, July 4th, and Labor Day), but what day at a park was the busiest you've seen? I hear Disney for Christmas is...

Okay... so before CP added Luminosity, they had that white screen up over by the train area. They would bring out the Peanut characters at night and have some fireworks / pyro show(s). It was a nightly deal, and I loved it. Living in Michigan, they often played many of the BIG 10 Fight songs...

Sure, there are not a lot of gigas out there. Sure, the price is not cheap for these gigas. Sure, parks like SFOG have height restrictions due to nearby air traffic. However, where there's a will, there's a way. SFMM and Great Adventure both have tall coasters. Great Adventure has Kingda Ka yet...
