    Reopening in Ohio - Cedar Point and Kings Island

    So I've heard, and apparently they are NOT doing fast lane? This will change my calculus. Esp as I plan to hit KI as well (plus KW, possibly more) so gotta make sure they are all open.

    Hershey 7/25/2020 (and first park of the year)

    You're right, after showing up for me they're now not there. Lemme try to fix that. I see them now so please let me know! (I'm starting my coaster blog so deff need to make sure it's not screwed up) As for Candymonium ya know...its both as expected but a tad disappointing. I knew it'd be...

    How is your tolerance of roughness?

    Pretty high. If anyone knows Hercules from Dorney in the day, I liked it though most of my class found it intolerable. I was fine with Beast, the HW woodies, Racer at KI, Mean Streak. Don't get me wrong the ride sucked, but I didn't mind the roughness of it. So yeah I think pretty high...

    Last Cred Review

    Last cred I rode was also a new one. Briefly discussed but I will go into detail here: Candymonium - Hersheypark This is the definition of a "solid" ride. Not bad, not great, not just eh. The lift is quick, and needless to say it's not that tall so while it's not Skyrush, it doesn't have that...

    Hershey 7/25/2020 (and first park of the year)

    So wasn't sure I'd even go to park this year, but dang it...can't say no. Wasn't sure what to expect, and was a mixed day though not all could be helped, some was on me, and I understand these are just not ideal times to do solo parking. BTW I don't usually do photos...we've seen em all and...

    Reopening in Ohio - Cedar Point and Kings Island

    Great report and glad to hear! I hope in Aug the park will be as dead, (ideally dead-er)! Thanks for the tips, and glad you had a pretty solid time!

    SFGAdv | Jersey Devil Coaster | RMC Raptor | 2021

    lol ofc it's delayed till 2021. Fair point....2021 leaves all year open. Watch it be like...Sept 2021 haha Welp, not going to SF this year. Not paying and dealing the bleh for El Toro and Nitro and possibly 1 ride on KK. Hate to say. Guess there's next year. Looked sick too.

    Your Least Common Opinion?

    Wow....well you're a first. Seriously, I always get **** for WT and no joke half the times I'm with someone they sit it out! I don't make it a thing but I have thought before "You tried to get the op to let you on the kiddie cred at Kentucky Kingdom but will scoff and not bother with Wicked...

    Top 10 Theme/Amusement Parks

    I used to have a steep drop off after the first 2 but got to experience so many in these last 4 years I feel I can assemble a true list 1: Cedar Point (still and forever. Not being a fanboy I just dont see what will top its quantity, quality and (for a huge park) nice feel) 2: Hersheypark...

    Your Least Common Opinion?

    Oh I got another one, and this is one I think truly ruffles feathers and yes, I fully mean it: I enjoy Wicked Twister better than Raptor. Note: Not saying better ride just idk...Raptor is good, I like it but it never hit me as hard as I felt it was supposed to. And as it ages ironically it...

    Coronavirus: Impact on Theme Parks

    Fair, and I 100% admit to laziness....was not gunna read 95 pages lol Though I suppose Indiana Beach is no surprise. That IS a park I plan to hit later this year btw I guess to be specific I'm looking for: Hershey, KI, IB, SF Great America, CP and KW. It's esp the crowds and ops I've wondered...

    Coronavirus: Impact on Theme Parks

    Well, parks have been waaaay out of thoughts this year, but now I plan to go again.... What HAS it been like? Specifically, crowds and ops. Like, has it been less crowded than would be? Are ops slower/less capacity and if so does this negate the lesser crowds? Or are they still jammed? How...

    What positive things have you got to look forward to in the near future?

    Well, I am moving to Providence, RI this Aug to attend grad school at Brown University, so that has been one shining piece of good news I've been looking forward to, (even seems (at least some) classes will be in person). Yeah...this idiot who rambles about coasters online with little regard...

    “Warming up throughout the day” - a myth?

    I dont claim to know the physics and science and nitty gritty detail, but I really gotta go with the observation test on this one. In the morning rides just aren't quite as fast, and are later in the day. Not just a few times but a lot, over all my years of riding. There's got to be something to...

    Busch Gardens Williamsburg Project 2021 - 355ft Height Waiver Filed

    Yes I agree with Coaster Studios, the "was part of Pantheon" theory makes a ton of sense. Answers the "why" and this does feel like it could so easily be part of Pantheon. He had some early sketch that implied this was possible. And yes backward seats would be superb. As for the colors, oh yes...

    Kings Island | Orion | B&M Giga Coaster

    I don't quite understand the hate, but I also don't think it's real hate just enthusiasts doing what we do. I mean...KI is getting a giga. This is like a decade of memes finally being put to rest lol It's still a giga. Will still be great. It all comes down to those hills for me. Weak air and...

    Busch Gardens Williamsburg Project 2021 - 355ft Height Waiver Filed

    So, a 350 feet multi launch shuttling coaster with spiraling spike...the year after they open a multi launch shuttling coaster with spike OK Well, I used to gripe there's not enough unique rides out there. Kudos to BGW this is truly different. I mean looks dope, but...what? Feels like it...

    Busch Gardens Tampa | Iron Gwazi | RMC Gwazi | 2022

    Love it. Cant believe a huge RMC will be just a few hours away. Me thinks I'll be getting a season pass. Any idea on an opening? I will be in St Pete for March, would be great if it was open by then.
