Separating this one out from my general thread as I’m featuring some cultural stuff as well (meaning you’ll have to wait a few days for the creds). After a couple Europe trips last year, both of which were group trips that I “tagged along” on, I wanted to do an international trip solo, do and...

I’d been wanting to clear out this trio of parks for some time now, and I finally got around to it a couple weekends ago. I had already done BGW, way back in 2013 (just a few weeks before I first joined CF!), so I was due for a revisit. Plus I needed Kings Dominion and Six Flags America, and...

I wasn’t going to write up a report for this, as I’ve done a couple reports on each of these parks in the past (including one just last year), but a lot of unique and unexpected stuff happened this weekend. I’ll focus on those highlights, and keep my opinions on the rides themselves brief. I...

I don’t think I’ve ever done a trip report of Canobie, but that’s probably because I’ve only gone a couple times over the last several years, despite it being the park closest to me. Well this year, I made the effort to return not only once, but twice?! Ok, so the second visit wasn’t actually...

You think someone ranks a coaster too high in their Top 10? Does another cred on their list deserve to be higher? Does Steel Vengeance not being someone's No. 1 infuriate you? Well, now's your chance to prove them they're wrong! Whenever someone makes a post, take the coasters in their Top 10...

Because giga coasters are the best rides in the whole world!!!! *ahem* Only done two. Here they are: 1. Millennium Force - Actually a pretty well rounded ride and holds up tremendously well. Amazing drop, some good positive gs (I tend to grey out in the first overbank), and a mix of solid...

Let’s do this. I had a few reasons of putting this trip together. Obviously there were a lot of big rides and parks I wanted to check and try again. Steel Vengeance was a big one. After hearing unanimous praise about it last year, I couldn’t wait another year to pass up on that puppy. I needed...

So I just got an Apple Watch and I was wondering if it’d be safe and secure enough wear it on all the big creds. I’m using the standard Velcro strap. I’m sure it’s fine but with it being a brand new and expensive device for me I want to be sure of the risk before I go all out on the creds this...

I was taking a look at my spreadsheet and viewing what rides I have rated the lowest. Excluding the kiddy crap, my least favorite coasters are made up of stand ups, boomerangs, SLCs, some painful woodies, Kingda Ka, and any other crap Arrow or Vekoma loopers. Thing is though, all of these have...

Time for another "Rank the xxx" thread! 1. Mind Bender - Good drops with some nice airtime, solid loops, and decent location. Not much wrong with it really. 2. SooperDooperLooper - My first Schwarzy, but nothing real special. It rides more like a mine train after the loop, but it was still...

The recent POV of Maxx Force left me disappointed with the ride's length, especially how it ends, and I imagine its length will likely be a part of the conversation when discussing the ride's quality (you know, once people ride the thing). It got me thinking of other coasters where the length...

So I finally got Planet Coaster. Been playing for a few days now, trying to familiarize myself with all the mechanics and whatnot. It's basically everything I've wanted out of an "RCT4," but it's very overwhelming, particularly with all the scenery stuff. I'm currently working on a park, but...

Might as well have one for these, right? 1. Griffon - My first DM and it's still my favorite. It has the usual drop into the Immelmann, but the extra airtime moments in the second half elevate it to the top. Splashdown is nice too. 2. Valravn - With the best inversion selection and a nice...

Part 1 – Carowinds My family and I usually do a major coaster trip (usually a few parks) around this time in June, so this time it we visited Carowinds, Dollywood, and Six Flags Over Georgia for the first time. Nice way to kick off the 2018 season. On Friday, June 8th, we got up at an early...

Take a look at your top ten (or some of your favorites, if you don't have a definite list), go through each coaster and think of improvements/modifications you wish the ride had to make it even better. Here's what I think for my Top Ten. 1. Skyrush - Better restraint system to remove the...

This summer hasn’t been too exciting for me when it comes to theme parks. I didn’t do anything at all in June/July/August. Because of my summer job, weekends were really the only free time I but naturally I'd rather avoid going to theme parks then. I did have a few weeks off from the end of my...

I've been playing this game on and off for several years, but I recently downloaded OpenRCT2 on my Macbook, which makes RCT much more accessible for me to play than the **** laptop I used to play it on. I went and started a new park on the Extreme Heights scenario and wanted to share some of my...

In recent years, my family and I have gone skiing out west for spring break, but this year my older siblings were unable to get enough time off from work. So since it was just my parents and I, we decided to go fly down to Florida and stay at the Hard Rock Hotel at Universal Resort to do some...

I wrote most of this months ago but schoolwork had prolonged me finishing this. And for a while I just never really bothered to post this (it's been some time since I've posted anything on here I think). Oh well, better late than never, right? Back in late August, my dad and I did a college...
