Hmm, a theme that isn't NASCAR might actually make one of the world's most overhyped coasters worth riding. I guess I'll find out next weekend!

Just got to ride this over the weekend. It's really good, honestly! I wasn't expecting it to have as much kick, given how much smaller it is than Railblazer, but I ate my words and it's a solid second in my raptor rankings. At such a long train for such a scaled down layout, there's a lot of...

Fire Runner Popped back to Iowa now that this was actually open, and man was it worth the trip! I was expecting something weaker along the lines of the YoY twins, but this is a solid second fiddle to Railblazer as far as Raptors go. There's killer airtime getting ripped down those drops in the...

Since I'm about to have Fire Runner as my next newest credit, might as well drop a review of my current one... Wrath of Rakshasa I'd not heard good things about this one so I kind of went in with a "just get the credit, possibly new worst dive coaster, I don't even like dive coasters"...

The day we were at Walibi Belgium it was really cold and we were incredibly close to just ditching Pulsar for that reason. Then the sun came out, so we got in line. And then it broke down and we almost missed it anyway! 😅 (Fortunately they fixed the turntable and we got to ride...though our...

Around the 3:50 mark it goes down a coaster-like drop on rails. No different from Journey to Atlantis and there’s a pretty solid consensus in the community that that’s a credit. Counts at least as much as Blazing Fury imo. Not gonna backseat mod, keep the thread where you feel it belongs, but...

I love counting and playing favorites with airports! To me, the best way to experience an airport is to leave from it, if I've not done that I'll mention that but if there's no mention assume I've flown out of it. DOMESTIC Dayton (home airport) Columbus Cincinnati Cleveland Detroit Chicago ORD...

Wouldn't it count as a coaster if it's a rocking boat, though? I thought Mission Bermuda had a drop down rails, that's definitely a credit.

Gonna vouch for Ride to Happiness here because it's absolutely insane in the most unique way possible. There's nothing else like it, Time Traveler rocks and all but this is on a whole other level. Ride with it off balance and it'll take your breath away! Mods delete the video link if it isn't...

Six Flags America was always the overhated Six Flags park. It was crappy, but crappy like a fast food burger, you can’t help but love it. Wild One is that park’s heart and soul, glad to see someone else enjoyed it enough to wish it saved.

I was the same way walking there last summer, it's oddly in the middle of that neighborhood and I was repeatedly checking my GPS to make sure I was going the right way. Yes. I love seeing "American food" in Europe, Bakken and Grona Lund in particular had those funny burgers and fries diners...

Whatever caused this to get delayed made us miss it Fourth of July when we were in Iowa. We were gonna stay in a haunted house in Villisca and go to Lost Island, but this wasn’t ready and the haunted house is a “book months out” thing so we had to go all the way to Great America instead to ride...

Top Thrill 2 is such a piece of junk, this isn't the first time I've seen someone spited by that thing who traveled for it. Enjoyable report all around, though! Canada's Wonderland is hands down the most beautiful legacy Cedar Fair park that isn't Cedar Point.

Just rode this twice yesterday. Honestly? A for effort. I still have problems with dive coasters as a concept, but this seemed to be a step in the right direction. Good rolling elements dominate this layout, the best being that third inversion twisting up to that downward helix. There’s...
