At Carowinds, I tend to skip Nighthawk (still haven't ridden it), Vortex, Carolina Cyclone, Flying Cobras, Hurler, along with most of the other coasters and flat rides... I mainly just prioritize multiple laps on Fury and Copperhead Strike, occasionally riding a few other flats or coasters if...

Islands of Adventure - As Matt is saying, it's a fantastic main street that really sets the bar for Islands of Adventure's incredible and highly immersive atmosphere. Six Flags Fiesta Texas - A shockingly well-themed, vibrant Mexican-inspired plaza, with a distinct charm that sets it apart...

Valkyrie is a clone of Gold Rush at OK Corral, and the ride cycle on Gold Rush actually completes a full circuit before rolling backwards at the end. Here:

I went to Wild Adventures this weekend and got plenty more photos of Cheetah's unfortunate deconstruction, here they are: The remains of Cheetah's last turn into the brakes The remains of Cheetah's turnaround (taken from Wild Adventures' exit road) It was pretty saddening to see this...

Twisted Typhoon, Wild Adventures (#191) - For my first SLC, I was expecting a much worse experience than it actually was. The last few elements were pretty shaky and jerky, with the train making an odd clanging noise through them, but I didn’t get off with a headache or throbbing pain elsewhere...

Time for an update! 2015 - Fury 325 2016 - Mako, Lightning Rod 2017 - Mine Blower, Mystic Timbers, Rowdy Bear Mountain Coaster, Whistle Punk Chaser 2018 - Twisted Cyclone 2019 - Copperhead Strike 2021 - Jersey Devil, Fun in the Sun

A few months ago, when Splashwater Falls began to be cleared out, I ran some rough measurements to see what could fit in that plot of land. Lo and behold, a MACK PowerSplash fits PERFECTLY! Aquaman's footprint at Six Flags Over Texas: Splashwater Falls' footprint at Six Flags Over Georgia...

I also remember there being ejector here too. That lap was full of surprises!

The Legend at Holiday World's speed hill (this one) particularly comes to mind here - only heard one other person mention it in the entire coaster community. For a famously laterals-filled coaster, I didn't expect much from it in terms of airtime, but Legend was a shocker. That hill caught me...

Extreme: Voyage, Holiday World (#1) Thrill: Phoenix, Knoebels (#10) Family: Autosled, Galaxyland (#69?) Kiddie: I haven't been on any truly standout kids coasters at the moment.

I personally don't see Kings Dominion adding 2 new coasters next year, considering it's the same park that went 8 years between Intimidator 305 and Twisted Timbers, and 4 years between Twisted Timbers and the S&S free spin. I'd think that Cedar Fair would want the most return on investment by...

If I recall correctly, Ice Breaker is actually a Skyrocket IV. I really think that the Skyrocket II image is a red herring. Fiesta Texas says they've been working on this project for 5 years now, and that it'll be a new signature attraction for the park - a Skyrocket II, while being an...

I'm generally happy with my ride count at a park if I've been able to accomplish my ride count goals. In the case of first-time visits like at Six Flags Great Adventure, this meant getting all the credits besides Joker with 1-2 rerides on Jersey Devil, El Toro and Nitro; while at Hersheypark...

A forceless B&M that dies after the mid-course. Plus, it isn't even the best hyper in Europe. Hyperion is around the same height, but it's WAY better - because Intamin actually knows how to make a good hyper. Voyage.

My newest credit was Fun in the Sun, one of those ridiculous SBF Big Air Coasters (the model with the Hamsterwheel cars). To start, the park itself is tiny - on Google Earth, it's 0.46 acres (roughly 55 x 30 meters) in size, quite possibly one of the smallest parks in North America. I got two...

Most Visited Park: Probably Busch Gardens Tampa Bay - I haven't visited this park much after I moved away (only once, in 2019), but when I lived in the area, I went to Busch Gardens Tampa countless times. Most Ridden Coaster: I have two contenders for this category... 1. Fury 325, Carowinds -...

Leviathan, Behemoth and Ziz are three legendary beasts from Jewish mythology. The Behemoth is an unconquerable land monster, while the Leviathan is a deep-dwelling sea monster, and Ziz is the primordial monster bird of the skies. As soon as Yukon Striker's tunnel began construction, everyone...
