    New track at the B&M plant

    What was Inverted #27 and is there a physical difference between IC and IC2 track? EDIT... oh because 26 letters of the alphabet. That makes sense.

    Biggest Coasters with the Lowest Throughput

    Lost Coaster of Superstition Mountain's train holds 8 people on a relatively long ride for its size, and I didn't see a transfer track for another train. Tig'rr runs two cars, but each car holds 2 people (4 if you're willing to sit in somebody's lap.) Finally, Steel Hwag was running 1 car, but...

    Heide Park Colossos retracking (2019)

    I wonder what reprofiling it would get. A steeper first drop would be quite awesome.

    Wild Mouse at BPB Closure - R.I.P. 1958-2017

    Was it truly unsafe though, with the possible exception of clearance issues? I really don't like the trend of individual stapling restraints on everything and the neutering/demolition of older aggressive rides. The people who make those regulations would like every coaster to be like the CGA...

    Mourning a loss

    Georgia Cyclone. An intense woodie with plenty of airtime that could've honestly been a well-loved and great coaster if it was kept up just a bit better. The ride was very good in a certain "magic seat" (Red train, second to back row, left side) and I imagine that with a bit of work, it could...

    If they RMCed a coaster you liked...

    Georgia Cyclone. Loved that ride, it could've been so much better had SF maintained it, had some great airtime. And then to add insult to injury, the resulting RMC seems like a half-done job. I love RMCs, but I find it a bit sad that what is, in my opinion, the best woodie to have ever been...

    B&M Vest Restraints

    Putting them on Valravn was a bit excessive. But they're not that bad, just a bit of buzzkill when you can't experience the airtime very well. Gatekeeper's no longer lock, but they're still tight. On Valravn and Banshee, they are fairly loose vests compared to GK. Keep in mind though, that the...

    How to LEGALLY record POVs?

    At Adventuredome, as of 2015, the signs around most rides don't mention cameras, and the ride op informed me that basically every ride there except El Loco can be filmed (including Canyon Blaster) on-ride. While I usually don't trust ride ops when they say you can film (sometimes they don't care...

    Your Volare count

    Just 1 - Time Warp at Canada's Wonderland. To be honest, I didn't find it that terrible.
