Before becoming an enthusiast was about a decade.
After becoming an enthusiast, 2020.
January 1st to June 14th - a Python Pit broke that spell
June 28th was the first actual park visit (Trimpers Rides & Jolly Roger Ocean City) and first real coaster (Tidal Wave Vekoma boomerang)
July 2nd was...
Went to Kentucky Kingdom. Interesting place. My top 10 shifted a little thanks to that.
Skyrush - Hersheypark
Intimidator 305 - Kings Dominion
Fury 325 - Carowinds
Twisted Timbers - Kings Dominion
El Toro - Six Flags Great Adventure
Lightning Rod - Dollywood
Superman the Ride - Six Flags New...
My list has changed quite a bit since I last posted something here.
Skyrush - Hersheypark
Intimidator 305 - Kings Dominion
Fury 325 - Carowinds
Twisted Timbers - Kings Dominion
El Toro - Six Flags Great Adventure
Lightning Rod - Dollywood: dethroned Storm Runner for favorite launch coaster...
So I was kinda underwhelmed by the cinnamon bread at Dollywood. It kinda reminds me of a fancy cinnamon pretzel but bigger and a lot more expensive. It was good but I probably won't go out of my way to try it again.
Coaster Count January 2019: 130
Coaster Count January 2020: 168
Not as many as some people here but I'm hoping to make it past 200 this year.
New parks visited: Plopsaland de Panne, Thorpe Park, Six Flags New England, Coney Island, Dollywood
Favorite new credit: Lightning Rod
Favorite new park...
1. Tower of Terror (WDW) - Best drop/dark ride in the world hands down. Different ride every time plus great atmosphere and a perfect theme to boot
2. Drop Zone (KD) - When its running, its really good. Dropping from that height and not hitting the brakes till the bottom is a great feeling. I...
I dunno if its because not a lot of people have ridden them but
Zamperla's Thunderbolt coasters have godawful restraints. They're bulky, super uncomfortable and they always staple no matter what. Something a little more open would do wonders for those rides since the rides themselves are pretty...
I like both of Disney's map styles. The previous design has a lot of character and detail but I like that the newer maps are designed to look more accurate to match the maps in the phone app.
IMO a good park map has a good amount of detail and is easy to read so you can actually use it to...
1. Stealth - Pretty great launch. Its basically a mini-Ka and I really like Ka
2. Nemesis Inferno - Its a little short but its really well paced and has some decent forces
3. Saw - Pretty standard Eurofighter. I like the pre-lift section. The rest of the ride is pretty alright I guess
4. Swarm...
People rag on Saw? It was good when I rode it. Probably the best of the (3) Gerst coasters I've ridden so far. Not really saying that much considering all 3 are pretty middle of the road coasters.
I don't really get the hype Gerstlauer coasters get though, They're fun rides but they look a...
I really like the ride a lot. Fantastic airtime, awesome soundtrack, decent pacing. The ride has a bit of a rattle but that doesn't really affect the ride experience that much. A lot of people ragged on the ride so I came in with low expectations and was blown away by how surprisingly good it...
Hollywood Rip Ride Rockit is criminally underrated and is my favorite coaster in Florida.
Also Vekoma flying coasters are better than B&M flying coasters.
My top 20 shifted somewhat thanks to this previous trip. Rides in bold are the latest additions to my top 20.
Skyrush - Hersheypark
Intimidator 305 - Kings Dominion
Fury 325 - Carowinds
Twisted Timbers - Kings Dominion
El Toro - Six Flags Great Adventure
Superman the Ride - Six Flags New...
Went to Plopsaland on a weekday last month. It was a ghost town. I was surprised to see none of the shops open at all.
Same with Thorpe Park on the same trip except that was a little bit busier. I couldn't imagine visiting during a high season like summer. It seems like that park gets quite the...
1. Skyrush - Its been a while since I've ridden but I remember being legit terrified by this thing. Nothing's beat it since.
2. Intimidator 305 - Most intense coaster I've ridden by far. Strong positive G's, great laterals, and an interesting mix of air really puts this ride over the top
3. Fury...
