Having enjoyed another ride on them yesterday, I feel comfortable solidifying my placements of the new dueling roller coasters at Epic Universe! 1: Voyage 2: Project 305 3: Iron Gwazi 4: Steel Vengeance 5: Skyrush 6: ArieForce One 7: Velocicoaster 8: Fury 325 9: Toutatis 10: El Toro 11...

Now that Family Previews are starting at Epic Universe and things are getting a little less strict about information, I feel good about posting my reviews of the various coasters at that park! I attended Team Member Previews four times in the first two weeks of March, during which I got multiple...

Thanks! And from the looks of it, it's here to stay for the forseeable future. Not only have they totally refurbished the launch, but they're in the process of building a second train on the transfer track! (Presumably made from TTD parts donors)

Smashed through 400 last month! Also holy mackerel this ride kicks ass.

When I lived in Virginia, my home park geographically speaking was Six Flags America, being 45 minutes away by car, but in terms of what I actually visited I considered it to be Kings Dominion. I was 90 minutes away and I’d go 4 or 5 times a year, mostly during the summer holiday. Now that I’m...

My week-long Northeast extravaganza has come to a close, and with it I’m welcoming a whopping… one coaster to the top 20? Ok, so some stuff didn’t hit quite as hard as I’d hoped, but I’m still grateful to have pretty much completed New England, if only so that next time I visit I can focus...

Another HoliWood Nights done! Voyage is still better than perfect. Somehow, this year’s Voyage crushes last year’s and even 2022’s. It’s a good few seconds faster and there’s a new awesome moment of laterals coming into the midcourse. I just don’t see how anything could ever get better than...

For me, it’s definitely the Rail Runner mountain coaster at Anakeesta. There’s one specific turn on the ride that, when taken at full speed, seriously tests the integrity of the single lap belt restraint. I am not one to say that I feel like I’m falling out of a ride, but I absolutely in that...

While obviously the world is better without a park that mistreats their animals, I’m pretty sad that Dragon Mountain is finally kicking the bucket, especially so soon after I rode it and loved it. I’m glad I rode it at all, but man. That thing was probably the funniest coaster to ever exist.

I am a little trepidatious about this change, a big part of why I love the ride so much is its incredibly open restraints and seats. If I still feel as exposed riding it with new seats as I did before I’ll be pleasantly surprised and relieved.

Honestly, while none of the names were good by any means, I think they made the right choice out of the three finalists. Iron Splash: the Surf Coaster, while hilarious, is an absolute train wreck of a name and was almost certainly submitted as a joke. Aquaphobia on the other hand is WAY too...

Holy mother of hyperlink…

After a semi-surprise visit to Hersheypark and a revisit to Busch Gardens Williamsburg, my coaster 2023 is now complete! With that, my top 20 is finalized for the year. 1: Voyage 2: Intimidator 305 3: Iron Gwazi 4: Steel Vengeance 5: Toutatis 6: Skyrush 7: ArieForce One 8: VelociCoaster 9...

According to this article, the main investor, Jiayuan Chuangsheng Holding Group, defaulted on their loans in august, and the property has since been put up for auction. In the same article, the workers installing the glass panels are mentioned, with the reported purpose being "to prevent further...

After one previous visit with it closed all day and 2 other cancelled visits due to extended downtime, I've finally gotten on #313 Wildcat's Revenge! It gave me so much trouble but after 7 rides on it I've found it was worth the wait. This thing's pacing falls right in line with the likes of...
