    SFGAdv | Jersey Devil Coaster | RMC Raptor | 2021

    We happened to be there for an unexpected Passmember preview today after the media event. Was running 4 trains with no issue and great capacity! Once it got going I only know of it going down once for just a few minutes.

    World's Loudest Coaster?

    MaxxForce's launch really does sound like a cannon when it launches. Scared the living daylights out of me multiple times just walking through the park, and you could here it everywhere. I would also like to nominate Big Thunder Mountain's (at WDW anyway, I haven't been on any of the others)...

    What is the most surprising airtime moment you’ve experienced in your enthusiast career?

    The one that really comes to mind for me was the three back-to-back-to-back airtime hills on Twisted Timbers. I knew they were there. I know how RMC tries to buck you off. But oh man did I not expect the severity of those three hills. I was completely thrown off guard on those and left with some...

    Texas Cred Run in a Pandemic! | Part 3: SFFT

    Yeah, front was way easier to manage. I wish I could have gotten more rides on it, but heat and a very short timeframe limited what we could do. We'll definitely be back for more at some point. I'll make sure @Groot gets a front row ride to make up for it! We were very nervous about taking...

    Texas Cred Run in a Pandemic! | Part 3: SFFT

    DAY 2, PART 2: SIX FLAGS FIESTA TEXAS The drive over to Fiesta Texas was quick, and it was so unique pulling into the parking lot! The rock surrounding the whole park was gorgeous and I couldn’t get enough of it. We breeze through the entrance…and enter another deserted theme park. I loved the...

    Texas Cred Run in a Pandemic! | Part 3: SFFT

    We got really lucky with the timing! We had a contingency plan for the trip as well if Texas closed all the parks again. We were there during a heat wave, too... I would have died at SFFT if it were a regular day with normal lines ? It was definitely strange with the masks, but it was easy to...

    Texas Cred Run in a Pandemic! | Part 3: SFFT

    DAY 2, PART 1: SEA WORLD SAN ANTONIO! Day 2 started with a mediocre grab-and-go breakfast at the hotel that was so mediocre we ended up getting some additional food at a CVS. We got to Sea World San Antonio shortly before opening, where there were approximately 5 cars in the preferred parking...

    Texas Cred Run in a Pandemic! | Part 3: SFFT

    I'm sure my overall park views are skewed because we keep hitting parks when there are no crowds! Great America last year, and all three parks this trip. I really had no "Six Flags Day" moments. I'm sure I wouldn't be saying that if we didn't walk on to nearly everything...

    Texas Cred Run in a Pandemic! | Part 3: SFFT

    In a bout of slight stupidity, @Groot and I decided to take a slightly ill-advised trip out to Texas, aka one of the current hotspots for COVID in the United States. With the Texas Live in May cancelled, we were still itching to get out into the region, since we'd never been. We know how to be...

    CANCELLED - Name TBD | KENTUCKY KINGDOM, HOLIDAY WORLD, KINGS ISLAND | 30th - 31st May 2020

    "Get Rekt on the Onion Voyage" is the best I've got. Or something about not crying over an Onion, but idk. Like @Groot said, this is the one Live we're not sure about, mainly from a financial standpoint (we just threw all of our money at the Texas Live, basically). If we do go, it may just be...

    CANCELLED - Remember the Gal Gadot! | SAN ANTONIO, TX PARKS | 9th - 10th May 2020

    CANCELLED - Remember the Gal Gadot! | SAN ANTONIO, TX PARKS | 9th - 10th May 2020

    Take what @Hutch said, and copy that almost word for word for me and @Groot! Never been anywhere near Texas, so we're super excited for it (and to see all your lovely faces again). Add us to the Airbnb/carpool list for both Dallas and San Antonio! Also - our Sea World pass came with a bunch of...

    Busch Gardens Williamsburg Project 2021 - 355ft Height Waiver Filed

    I'm so confused by this whole thing. Especially so soon after Pantheon. That spike looks MASSIVE in those renderings, but I keep looking at these images and asking myself, "...ok, but why?" Like why is the twist so high in the spike? Why another swing launch so soon? So many questions. That...

    Your biggest positive surprise?

    Probably Goliath at SFGAm was the biggest surprise for me. It's a little short length-wise, but those stalls blew me away. I felt like we were upside down for ages. More stalls on everything forever, please. And I may get some pushback from this one, but Beast's helix was a big one for me as...

    CF-Lives 2020 | All Dates Announced!

    We're going to try our best! (However let's not kill him on his birthday please... ?) I think a lot of it will depend on if we do group lodging and what that cost might look like.

    CF-Lives 2020 | All Dates Announced!

    Oooh buddy! East Coast Live is an almost definite for us - we have a nearly two-week trip planned and I've already shuffled our plans to include those dates. That's gonna be one hell of a party. We're gonna try super hard to get over to Texas and give some love to @tomahawk and @Skeletor, as...
