I grew up in Untermeitingen, Germany, which had a population of around 2000 at the time and is about 16 miles (25 km) south of Augsburg and 45 miles (72 km) west of Munich, so I'm very familiar with rural living and having to travel quite a ways to experience city life. I also went to University...

I honestly thought Surf Coasters were just a gimmick until I rode Pipeline. It's nowhere near as uncomfortable as any standup coaster I've ridden (Togo, Intamin or B&M) and it's actually a very fun ride (can't claim to have had much fun on any standup tbh). I rode it during the IAAPA Expo...

Darlene Love - Christmas (Baby Please Come Home) I've watched her perform it every year for decades and the part of the season I always look forward to most. Performing on David Letterman over the years Bruce Springsteen presents Darlene with her platinum record "All Hail the Queen of...

I was debating on whether I should post this on our Facebook and Twitter news feeds. Glad I decided to wait.

Where's the cred? :p

??? How about starting with the # 1?

I started going to multiple concerts again this year, but I'm still not up for festivals (even though that's the only way to see many of my favorite artists). I also missed quite a few DJ sets I wanted to see because they were performing at pool parties, which isn't my scene at all. I also don't...

Seabreeze Amusement Park in Rochester, New York, is getting a Zamperla Windstarz for 2024. It's the first new attraction at the park since Time Machine, a Technical Park Super Miami (Wisdom Genesis style ride), opened in 2017. The Seabreeze Flyers, a Bisch Rocco (now Larson) Flying Scooters ride...

The date (Aug 11, 2022) is directly under the topic title. ;)

A bit of a bump, but more than a year after the collision authorities have filed negligence charges against two park employees. Investigators say the accident was avoidable; thus, officials filed the charges. Source (in German)

Another double post... Dollywood is getting yet another neighbor. Dig'n Zone Theme Park is scheduled to debut on March 1, 2024 in Sevierville, Tennessee. The construction-themed park will feature over 25 attractions that enable guests to control a wide variety of construction equipment, as well...

Nice to hear that all the work that goes into creating those pages is appreciated by some of our members and not just the GP.

Appetizers for the win! +1

Let's be honest - riding with Joe Draves, Ian, Scott and myself sealed the deal.;) Thanks for taking the post-rides photo! As for me, Iron Gwazi is relentless whereas VelociCoaster takes a bit to get going IMO. I don't mind the twisty bit at the start, but if the entire ride was like the...

Marble Madness will temporarily close this winter to undergo major upgrades. The revamped ride will feature a new station, new operation system and reworked cars when it reopens next season. Source

Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind is the "world's most expensive coaster" by quite some margin. Guess no one checks our Records page before posting. ;)
