Really need to start moving it along with these...
Saturday, August 13
We were all moving pretty slow this morning after a wild night out. The tylenol only led me back to the toilet, so when we eventually arrived at Morey’s Piers I settled for another hangover cure instead.
Some of our...
Fønix at Fårup Sommerland.
There're some solid supporting creds in the rest of the lineup, but without Fønix the next best ride is the suspended family coaster.
Ice Breaker is the clear preference as the unique layout makes it more interesting. Sky Rocket II's just aren't that exciting anymore now that there's quite a few of them, plus they're not good rides to begin with. The layout is just uncomfortable to get through.
Ice Breaker still suffers from...
Also nominating Helix was one of the most overrated coasters out there. The layout is second to none, but it just doesn't ride well. The subtle rattle gets in the way immediately.
When it comes to the queue, I appreciate the style they were going for, and the music is awesome, but there's...
- Coaster count at start of 2022: 241
- Coaster count at end of 2022: 338
- New coasters ridden in 2022: +97. By far my best year
- New parks visited in 2022: 15
- Park visits (number of days) in 2022: 26 different parks, with 28 days.
- Best new-to-you coaster: Piraten
- Best new-to-you...
Final update of the year for me. Had been meaning to get back down to Florida to make more use of some annual passes, so I finally got Iron Gwazi.

3. Lightning Rod
4. Voyage
5. Piraten
6. VelociCoaster
7. Ravine Flyer II
8. Wildfire
9. Iron Gwazi
10. Twisted...
I really need to do a rewatch of all the films again and revisit my rankings. I genuinely enjoy all of them while recognizing that some are clearly worse than others.
The originals will always be among the top. It's what we were introduced with and it has the best characters. The prequels are...
That's a shame to hear. This is one of my most hyped up rides that I'd love to try out but I have this fear that'll it'll gain that rattle that some of the other Macks have developed. If that is the case, I'm hoping the sheer ridiculousness will distract me from the rattle anyway.
Normally I'd say hopefully nothing good so I'm not tempted to return, but I ****ed up last year and missed a few of the creds so I guess I'll take a plus one.
It looks great! I've been meaning to get back there for Candymonium, but I'm glad I haven't gone through with the effort yet. That'll be a really nice +2 for me next year.
WE DON’T STOP!
Only two weeks after my Europe adventure, I was back at it with another weekender. A group of us planned to hit up Coastin’ by the Ocean at Morey’s Piers, which, for once, didn’t require a plane ride for me to get to.
So that finally gave me an excuse to pick up a notable cred...
I definitely liked it more than others in the group (most of them were kinda cranky as they were on a couple hours of sleep and had to deal with Amsterdam security). I'm much more attracted to European parks moreso than American style, and Heide just had that familiar setup of "big pond in the...
I’ll do another one of these posts at the end of the year culminating everything, but I figured I’d do a recap of this trip.
This was one of the best trips I’ve ever done, if not the best. All the parks we visited were fantastic, we rode some incredible coasters, and it was easily the biggest...
Been slacking, but luckily this is the last part of this trip.

My flight out of Stockholm was the next day, while most of the group would continue for a few more days hitting up some parks in Finland.
We ended up walking to the park from our hotel, which ended up taking...
Still a little unclear whether this will feel any different from their old standups, despite the moving seats. I think the layout will work for this model though, and I really like the look of paths surrounding it.
