I saw that in a targeted facebook ad today lol. Let me see if I can paste the article here: Hopefully I didn't accidentally break any rules here. All images are from Matt's article.

Do the rapids rides count? I'm assuming Smoky Mountain River is by Intamin but I'm not totally sure about that. I agree it's probably the dark ride, but man would I love to have a Mack hyper somewhere in the states.

As in "Dollywood hasn't worked with them" or "Herschend hasn't worked with them"? I still want that Mack hyper at DW, but the latter would rule that out.

Didn't Dudley Do-Right catch on fire a while back too? I swear Toon Lagoon is cursed.

Kind of a hot take, but I think you could make a case for Hershey being the best park for Intamins. They tend to take on prototype models from Intamin to get a discount, so you get some really unique rides like Fahrenheit and Skyrush, and IMO Stormrunner is the best accelerator out there...

Post yfw Ice Breaker ends up being the fast-paced airtime machine and Velocicoaster ends up being the "family" launch coaster, after all that hype.

I live in Houston, so the closest thing I have to a home park right now is Fiesta Texas. I'll parrot the common opinion that they could use a hyper coaster, but since I really doubt Six Flags is willing to shell out the dosh for a B&M or Mack hyper in this day and age, I'd also be cool with...

Whelp if they weren't going downhill they'd be pretty boring rides :^)

Didn't see this posted anywhere else, feel free to delete if I missed it. https://www.interlink-lg.com/used-rides/inverted-coaster/?fbclid=IwAR2Hab4cp6vmae-JEYTsBYF9F_pBFX89baS7xp62mQDXDgQ0_NeiSyVfbQ8 Used B&M bat clone is up for sale. Even though these are nothing new, I think this is cool...

I used to be super into dark rides when I was younger. I have fond memories of Gold Rusher at Kennywood (RIP). River Caves at BPPB blew me away, I thought some of the theming was really well-done for a small park. Also the mine train thing at Knott's. Nice little fun relaxing dark ride.

Pepsi Max Big One for me. I know that's a "wrong opinion" as an enthusiast, and that it doesn't have any airtime, and blah blah blah but I always like to think of it as the steel equivalent of The Beast. Iconic rides with bad layouts on paper (for enthusiasts at least) that are still unique...

Thunderbolt at Kennywood has this really weird not-quite-double-up right into the chain lift that actually provides some ejector, but only if you're sitting in the absolute front of the train. I don't recommend it unless you really love having your quads violently slammed into the buzz bar, but...

I know it's not a coaster, but the current King Kong dark ride at IoA is the first thing I thought of for this. Awesome and immersive queue, totally underwhelming ride. Also I would have been young at the time, but I remember Space Invader 2 at Blackpool having a really cool themed queue. Not...
