    I got back into Electric Wizard again. Please hit me with all your favorite doom metal, lads. The slower, heavier, sludgier, and nastier, the better. Church of Misery is another favorite.

    New Themed Park Coming to US

    Any chance it's about Grand Texas? Haven't heard anything from that project in a hot second.

    Are theme parks Capitalist or Socialist?

    I would say even a small park is still capitalist, since the workers don't control the means of production nor are they (presumably) compensated for the actual value of their labor. As far as pricing, it may be more affordable than purchasing your own roller coaster, but admission is still...

    What's The Song You're Listening To Right Now?

    Folk metal is a very silly genre, but lately I can't get enough of Eluveitie. This song in particular:

    Busch Gardens Williamsburg Project 2021 - 355ft Height Waiver Filed

    ...yes? I'm not sure I've ever met someone who preferred it that way.

    Busch Gardens Williamsburg Project 2021 - 355ft Height Waiver Filed

    Maybe it's just me, but even just turning the trains backwards would be a 500% improvement. Imagine how lame Mr. Freeze would seem with forward-facing trains.

    Your Least Common Opinion?

    @Matt N your comment about stand-ups reminds me that I preferred Rougaroo back when it was Mantis. I never particularly found the stand-up restraints to be uncomfortable (maybe because I'm short) and the layout just doesn't work as well when it's a floorless looper. That probably qualifies for...

    Your Least Common Opinion?

    I guess any of these could qualify: -I don't think Iron Rattler is as good as people say. It's too short, really slow for most of the ride, and I never get any airtime on it because the ops staple me every time. The drop is fine, but not as good as people make it out to be. I prefer New...

    B&M’s Next Coaster Model after Surfing Coaster Model

    I didn't think of the possibility that B&M could enter the very lucrative watergun market with their new super soaker model, but this thread really opened my eyes.

    Your Top 10 coasters that you've ridden the least

    I don't really keep track either, but I do remember some of these since I've only been to some of these parks once, or gotten some of these credits within the last few years. Also most of my credits from parks other than Kennywood, Cedar Point, and Hershey are under 5x since those three are my...

    Do you have any theme park guilty pleasures?

    Speaking of BPPB, I went when Revolution was still themed to Irn-Bru (for whatever reason) and I thought it was awesome. Tacky color scheme and all. Mostly since Irn-Bru does not exist in the US so I had no clue what it was, and the serious-sounding narrator reciting the moto before you get...

    How the f are they supposed to RMC Raptor anyways, it's already steel. And inverted. And not at Dollywood.

    Universal's Epic Universe | Orlando USA | Theme Park

    I'm not totally negative on this, but as a huge nintendo fan, it certainly does feel like a waste. I always imagined a Nintendo theme park having an F-Zero rollercoaster or a Metroid dark ride or something. Honestly there's potential to make a Disney-sized theme park out of JUST nintendo...

    Small News From The Theme Park Industry

    Well dang, it worked a second ago. Deleted for now. I think between this and the Cedar Point BS from last week, I'm slowly learning that anything that Coasternation posts or re-posts is probably more full of crap than a livery stable.
