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...

Any B&M coaster with vest restraints feels restrictive, especially if they tighten during the ride. I find the flyers to be a bit more comfortable than most of the others, but lying face down against those restraints for a long period of time feels uncomfortable after a few minutes of sitting on...

1. Arie Force One - this ride is incredible in the back row. Pretty standard RMC in the front. 2. Twisted Timbers - a lot of RMCs feel really short. This one is the perfect length. Wish more RMCs were like this 3. Iron Gwazi - It has some great standout moments, but it feels a tad short for its...

384. The Big Bad Wolf - The Wolf's Revenge - Big Bad Wolf was my very first coaster so that ride has sentimental value to me. This ride is the perfect spiritual successor to it. The ride tracks like its swinging through the village near missing buildings and scenery. The ride isn't intense by...

And we have pictures too

382. Xcelerator - This ride has a really cool gimmick in the launch into the top hat, but after that it sorta just meanders to the brakes. Not a bad first hydraulic launch coaster though. The launch basically punches you in the stomach and you get a really fun pop of airtime at the top of the...
