    It was the first park on my megatrip this summer as well.

    What is your top coaster on your bucket list?

    Top Thrill 2, I never got to ride Top Thrill Dragster. If everything goes according to plan this summer, it will likely be my 150th credit.

    What new-to-you coasters do you feel are your most likely top 10(ish) contenders in 2024?

    Post crack Fury is just as good as before and ArieForce One is great and so re rideable with almost always a walk on/stay in your seat and keep riding it. Rerideability and park operations are what puts it ahead of Steel Vengeance for me, although both are in my top 10.

    You know you're CF-ing it too much when...

    Or when you are wishing you could get the missed credits at both parks knowing it's a 9 hour round trip flight to LAX and is the only reason you have to return to California.

    SeaWorld San Diego planning new 2025/26 coaster?

    Last Summer I spent a week hitting a lot of the California parks and enjoyed SWSD as well as Belmont Park. Unfortunately Arctic Rescue was down the day I was there so I will need to revisit at some point. If they added yet another coaster that would be a bonus. I will also need to revisit KBF...

    Best 5 coasters in California

    I rode almost all of them in the last month so I have a pretty good recent impression. I wish I could have ridden Xcelerator as I think it would probably have been in my top 5.

    Fun Spot America Atlanta 05-06-2023

    I didn't find AF1 nearly as bad in the front as the back, can't wait to ride it again. I agree with you on Hurricane, though it wasn't as bad as I expected. Go-karts were definitely a blast when I was there. Much better than the garbage at most parks.

    If you drive, do you prefer to pull forward into a bay or reverse into a bay?

    I used to work for a trucking/shipping company. When training drivers, they required them to back in first and pull out when leaving. Studies indicated that you are 80% more likely to be involved in an accident when backing out than driving out.

    So I did the Hot Ones Challenge...

    If you are ever at Carowinds, PuckerButt Pepper Company is just a short drive away. They are the creators of the Carolina Reaper and Pepper X, the two hottest peppers available. You can purchase many of the hot sauces they make as well as Carolina Reaper pepper plant seeds at their store or...

    Most rides you've ever had on one attraction in a day?

    Last Sunday I managed 22 rides on Fury 325, 8 on Copperhead Strike plus at least 2 rides each on the other open coasters all without Fast Lane pass. Park was only open for 6 hours.

    Kentucky Kingdom Observations - T3 Closing?

    Probably why Vekoma wouldn't work on them. No idea if the parts are truly unavailable or what.

    Kentucky Kingdom Observations - T3 Closing?

    Take this with a grain of salt, but I was there last Sunday and was talking with an area supervisor who claimed the trains were worn out and needed parts that were unavailable and that Vekoma would not work on them.

    Small News From The Theme Park Industry

    I was looking forward to it myself in August, I doubt it will be fixed by that time.
