I agree a spiral lift is awesome! (though unlikely) but correct me if I’m wrong, isn’t this supposed to be a ground up Titan track and therefore not a wooden coaster? Or a wooden GCI with the new infinity flyers? Sorry if this is a dumb question.

Not a recent read but I remember my dad brought home a small book documenting the history of Willow Grove Park. It was one of the early ‘trolley parks’ that were once quite common to the area and it was located down the road from my childhood home. Lots of excellent pictures of the place I only...

Hottest: my last visit to Hershey on 6/21 was pushing into the mid 90s F. However, I doubt this is my hottest park visit because I just expect parks to be that hot in the summer so I can’t say for sure. Coldest: Six Flags over Texas was easily the coldest. I was visiting family in the Dallas...

About damn time! Hoping for a full GCI retrack like Ghostrider but anything would be better than leaving it as is.

Knobels should buy the Whirlwind, I’m sure there’s someone out there who misses it

Definitely an interesting topic but IMO track length and ride time seems to influence a ride’s critical reception much more than any other stat like height or speed. Steel Vengeance, Iron Gwazi and Zadra are much longer rides than your average ‘Cyclone’ RMC or the prototype raptors which many...

Why are they building another Intamin family launch coaster?

Those mad lads just couldn’t let the standup die

True I’d probably be a little distracted seeing magic mountains skyline too

Honestly wouldn’t be surprised if it was a park employee but ya never know with magic mountain/ six flags can’t rely on the staff to help with that kind of stuff. I would seriously recommend getting into the habit of just locking your car up whenever you go somewhere longer than 5-10 minutes...

Favorite: RnR (Orlando) Decent launch, fun inversions and theming the rest of the layout is pretty meh though Least Favorite: Laff Trakk The name is corny even by Hershey standards, the line is usually the longest in the park and the damn thing barely even spins! I think the ride experience is...

Gotcha that makes sense I figured that’s what the double chain was for. I wasn’t sure if Gerst had a different set up, as I noticed there’s some sort of cable that runs on the side of the lift

Been to… Philly Harrisburg Atlanta Denver Orlando Milwaukee Kansas City San Diego Dallas Fort Worth Myrtle beach O’Hare Newark Heathrow Of those Newark is the worst and it’s not even close. If you’ve been there you know why and if you haven’t, well the other airports in NYC are also ****...

Apologies if this has been asked before but, these rides are difficult if not impossible to evacuate on their lift hills so how do these coasters handle a situation where the lift is stopped? I know that Zierer uses magnetic brake fins that snap into place after the train passes. If anyone has...

For me it's gotta be the Phoenix. I have yet to go on a coaster with more airtime and less restraints

Yeah I'm not too sure why I forgot to mention Texas. Its one of the few places outside the Northeast I've visited an amusement park.

hilarious

I'd personally think you can narrow it down to four states: 1. California 2. Ohio 3. Florida 4. Pennsylvania Thoughts?

If I had to pick a favorite, it would be the inline twist on Impulse at knoebels.The hang time with just a lap bar is exquisite

The only one that I can think of would be Candymonium (2020)
