Just rode this twice yesterday. Honestly? A for effort. I still have problems with dive coasters as a concept, but this seemed to be a step in the right direction. Good rolling elements dominate this layout, the best being that third inversion twisting up to that downward helix. There’s...

Heard the rumor it’s restraints as well on my end. Wonder if it’ll be like the great RMC cylinder recall of 2016 where it’s fixed within the season or if these things are toast til 26. In other news, looks like my Virginia trip can go way on the back burner! 😅

Saw this bad boy for the first time the other week, shame it wasn’t open but it looks really good! So smooth, so quiet, and everyone stops and stares at that cool tilt track. And with the reviews coming out of this thing, I’m even more excited to get on this thing.

Troy as 522- What a great way to finish the trip off! Toverland was kind of a flex day thing, with plans to use that day to return to one of the main parks or explore Utrecht on a rainy day or something. But we did it, we saved the best for last, the park pleasantly surprised me, and this thing...

I would love to make the Kings Island Live if nothing conflicts with it!

Had to swing by today to drop something off at the park so naturally, I brought the DSLR and my buddy Drew and we had some good clean fun getting legal shots from nearby parking lots that were open and accessed legally. From a distance, it looks so dominant. It’ll certainly be one of the first...

Day 6 I woke up in the predawn darkness at 6 am to get a move on to LAX, knowing that it would take an hour and a half to get 25 miles because, well, California. I checked my phone to see multiple missed calls, texts, and voicemails from my uncle...he was already at the airport! My grandma had...

It’s that time again. Halloween has passed, the coasters are closing down, and parks are getting ready for the winter season. So as things cool down, let’s reminisce on season’s past! Below, post your picks and maybe a short explanation if you want for the following categories: Best New To You...

So I’m here with my buddy Connor and we just got off our last ever ride on Vortex, but we’re also looking to the future since Orion is currently towering over the doomed Arrow looper and holy crap it’s massive! It’s visible from the park skyline and it’s about as tall as Banshee if viewed...

If you’ve seen it at all on Facebook this year, Cedar Point has been a complete madhouse this fall season. Last year I went on a Saturday and it was ridiculous, I waited an hour on the causeway just to drive back to my hotel on the mainland after. The park has hit capacity, traffic backed up all...

There’s a few tracking chips and the like that have been suggested, but how could anyone forget these? Your 14 year-old might not be too happy with it but it’s a surefire way to keep track of the kiddos. :P Hope you guys have fun in all seriousness! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Honestly, I was set to get all of the New For 2019 coasters in the US before this one screwed me over last month, so I’m now hoping that it opens in 2020 so I still have hope. :P And it’s quite a shame if I’m speaking freely, it looks like an awesome machine that’ll dish out a pretty good ride...

@Hyde pretty much covered it, but I was there too and snagged a few photos. Vortex’s departure won’t be the only thing clearly different on the skyline in 2020... Obviously it’s probably a bit taller than the coaster will be, but the crane is up and it’s MASSIVE. It can be seen from several...

Thanks a ton, it's an accomplishment I'm pretty proud of. Mexico was supposed to be 2021's region trip, but considering one of the parks on it just got shut down, I might go elsewhere internationally. It's just a smidge more to get to Sweden and my top of bucket list coaster is there sooo... I...
