    363 - Rapterra - I attempted to brave the multi-hour wait on passholder preview but I had to tap out early. My back was killing me and the line moved at such a slow pace. My pass was upgraded to presitge when I bought the all park add on so it gave me a free Fast Lane so I used that instead...

    Steel Curtain should be ready by opening day.

    Rank the GCIs

    I honestly wasn't expecting much out of Wicker Man but the layout is really fun plus the theming really puts it above the rest. I love the preshow segment, the flaming statue and the dark sequence at the end. The layout has the quick pacing that Mystic and Thunderhead has but its much better...

    Rank the GCIs

    Added 2 more GCIs to the lineup last year, including my new favorite GCI of all time. There are now 4 GCIs left in North America that I need to ride. 1. Wicker Man - Basically take Thunderhead/Mystic Timbers and add some amazing theming, a preshow, and tuck it into the mountains so you can't...

    What if Warner Bros. Still Owned Six Flags?

    So I get most of my speculation from Paramount. Paramount invested pretty heavily into their parks in the 90s and early 00s but scaled back most of their additions. I can definitely see WB making a similar approach. For new parks, I can't really see them adding anything to the US or Europe but...

    What if Warner Bros. Still Owned Six Flags?

    As with most alt history related stuff, its really hard to tell what WB would do with the Flags parks if they still owned them outright. So much time has passed and the amusement industry has changed a lot, dealt with a financial crisis, and a global pandemic. WB was all about bringing...

    Defunct attractions where you differ from the common posthumous consensus

    Volcano wasn't really that great of a coaster. Sure the gimmick was cool but that's all it was, a gimmick. It was never worth the long wait times it pulled and after the launch out of the volcano, the ride just meanders to the end. Yeah the 80 ft drop was neat but the ride hit the brakes...

    Six Flags Over Georgia | Georgia Goldrusher | Intamin Ultra Surf | 2025

    In all honesty, I really like the new theme and the name change. The old name sounded pretty generic and the old logo looked pretty amateur so I'm glad they actually put more effort into making the logo a bit more professional. Maybe we'll get some decent theming to go with it. You could easily...

    Rank the 9 roller coasters at Walt Disney World

    1. Expedition Everest - I think the theme and the ride length puts this over the top. Single rider line makes this so easy to ride on most days but I love the standby queue too. 2. Cosmic Rewind - This would be the best coaster on property if it wasn't for the reservation system 3. Big Thunder -...

    SeaWorld San Diego planning new 2025/26 coaster?

    It would be really nice if SWSD had an actual transit stop that would actually stay open at or after park close. Walking that half mile to the only open stop after the park is closed is a bitch.

    Why do enthusiasts suddenly love an attraction once it's closure was announced?

    RRR is actually a great ride! The airtime is some of the best in the state of Florida. I've always been a RRR fan and always try to ride it at least once per visit. Its definitely one of the most underrated coasters out there. I liked KK for what it was. Yeah it was rough and its not even the...

    What’s behind the recent rise in “rattle” criticism on new rides?

    You can definitely feel the rattle on a lot of older B&Ms. That being said, it took years and years of operations to develop the rattle. The problem is you feel the rattle on most newer B&Ms. Why are Penguin Trek, Emperor, and Nemesis Reborn as rough as rides like Nitro, Kumba and Kraken...

    Carowinds retires Nighthawk and two flat rides

    I liked Nighthawk and will be sad to see it go, but the real loss here is Scream Weaver.

    Universal Studios Japan | Mine-Cart Madness | "Boom Coaster" {Rumour} | 2024

    I was kinda hoping the launches out of the barrels would be faster at least. Also I'm a bit disappointed that they didn't use the Mine Cart Madness theme, but I'm hoping they at least cycle through all the different tracks. The indoor part still looks a bit unfinished but the ride looks...

    Six Flags Over Texas | Unknown | B&M Dive Coaster | 2026

    It would be amazing if the ride ended up being a 300 ft tall version of Hangtime at Knott's. I'd go nuts over that. A drop like that hanging from 300 feet with lapbars? Count me in!

    Kingda Ka and Green Lantern's removal for new 2026 record-breaking coaster

    Record breaking launch coaster could still mean anything right now. I'd be bummed to see the KK structure come down but as long as the replacement is better, it doesn't really matter to me in the long run. I definitely have a feeling they're keeping the tower in place but maybe that's hopium...

    Kingda Ka and Green Lantern's removal for new 2026 record-breaking coaster

    There's enough space in the park for multiple new coasters in that corner without getting rid of KK. Not only do they have Green Lantern to work with but they also have the old Rolling Thunder spot as well. Right now its still way too early to tell what they'll get but a giga is a possibility...

    Kingda Ka and Green Lantern's removal for new 2026 record-breaking coaster

    Hail to the king! A couple observations about KK and SFGAdv SFGAdv's anniversary year was a bit of a miss. Nothing opened on time, and there were budget cutbacks everywhere! But the park is clearly making major changes to the park. The biggest being the new entrance setup. The old ticket...

    Rank your Ridden B&M Inverts

    Ridden a bunch of these since then 1. Nemesis - Love these old school B&Ms. The layout is short but it packs a serious punch. I love how the ride weaves in and out of the valley and around the theme elements placed throughout. This is the best overall invert I've ridden. 2. Afterburn 3. Montu...
