    I've been OBSESSED with this band ever since I caught their set at Levitation 2021 in Austin. Just really incredible post-punk/goth rock from Dallas area. They dropped a new album on the 3rd too, if anyone is interested.

    Parks you can't be arsed with

    It's currently SWSA for me since I'm a roughly 3 hour drive from San Antonio, and anytime I'm interested in doing a day trip out there I'd rather just go to Fiesta Texas. Plus SeaWorld always seems so overpriced, and the conditions for some of the animals always was a little off-putting for me...

    Small News From The Theme Park Industry

    Whelp that's not quite what I was expecting, but that's kind of nice. Kangaroo was probably my favorite of those 4 flats that got removed last season. I wonder if this refurbishment was always part of the plan, or if this is just a reaction to local backlash. EDIT: Also I'm curious to see if...

    Small News From The Theme Park Industry

    Could be absolutely nothing, but Kennywood's Facebook page posted some kind of a teaser for Friday. I just took a screenshot from my phone. If anyone's curious, the link just sends you to a page to sign up for their newsletter.

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

    Driving down Richmond Avenue, in Houston's Westchase district. Roughly 5mph below the speed limit. Idk what the contractor was smoking when that road got paved, but I want some of it.

    "Now Showing"

    Got another horror movie to discuss! The Fog (1980) - This was a really great time, I honestly can't recommend it enough. While it's probably not in that upper echelon along with The Thing, They Live, or Big Trouble in Little China, this is one of those John Carpenter movies that just does...

    @Nitefly hell yeah, I loved Hereditary. One of my favorite recent horror movies

    "Now Showing"

    I've been trying to watch a bunch of horror/Halloween-themed movies for October. I haven't been able to watch too many since the month started, but here's what I managed so far: The Woman in Black (2012) - It's really cool that Hammer is still making these kinds of gothic horror movies...

    Coasters you really like that aren’t particularly intense

    I guess I'd say Wild Eagle. It's pretty mild when I think about it, but I really love the first drop, the sense of speed, and the beautiful wooded setting. It curls my toes. Cheetah Hunt also comes to mind.

    Brilliant in concept, disappointing in execution?

    The Gringotts ride at Universal comes to mind. A lightly-themed indoor rollercoaster would have been a million times better than what we got. Even if they wanted it to primarily be a screen ride, I think it could have been done a lot better.

    "Now Showing"

    @peep it's on my watch list! And @FarleyFlavors I'll have to add that one to my list as well.

    "Now Showing"

    Oh spit, I've actually watched quite a few movies recently that I haven't posted about yet. Here's some thoughts: The Suicide Squad - I'm pretty burned out on superhero movies, and this was one of those movies where it was getting really good reviews, and I wasn't sure if it was getting good...

    Biblical Coaster Names

    I don't think that one really counts. It's named after a local cryptid, not a literal devil. Kinda like a tasmanian devil (except that one is a real animal)

    Biblical Coaster Names

    Are there really that many rollercoasters named after demons? All I can think of is Leviathan and the generically named Demon at each Great America park
