Yeah the stats nerd in me really loves this stuff. Stats, coasters, all my favorite nerdy things in one!

Wow! Huge news. For financial reasons at the time I was unable to make it to Atlanta and I just assumed it would be torn down tbh and I've missed it, so this is great news! Unless it ends up somewhere outside the US or ridiculously obscure lol but this is great, glad such a world class ride wont...

Excellent stuff!!! Love this. Guess I need to sit down and quit being lazy and actually rank mine 😂

1: Gatekeeper 2: Rapterra 3: Thunderbird 4: Wild Eagle 5: X-Flight X-Flight not bad, I did enjoy it but I do think pretty firmly the weakest I've experienced. Good scenery interaction/near misses I think I noticed it more than Gatekeeper but the ride is just kinda OK. In the last row there was...

How embarrassing, I forgot Intimidator/thunder striker on my last rankings but that should probably say something. 1. Fury 325 2. Goliath @ SFoG 3. Diamonback 4. Apollo's Chariot 5. Raging Bull (Wow I expected this to be weak but it was quite good!) 6. Nitro 7. Orion 8. Thunder Striker 9...

1. Wrath of Rakshasa 2. Sheikra 3. Griffon 4. Iron Menace 5. Valravan Yeah new number 1 and easy choice. By far the strongest dive, has it all: Good drop, layout, keeps its speed and has some force. Another great example bigger isnt always better.

I don't usually do these but it's been a while I've been to a new, full fledged park, and I got some hours to kill at the airport, so indulge me :) Ah the pitfalls of last second planning, much as a I love it sometimes it means the only time I could get to SF Great America is on a weekend. I...

I think you're right because same...thinking about it the only park hotels (excluding Orlando ones, I was also younger and didn't have to foot that bill myself) I've stayed at is Hotel Breakers, Breakers Express and Lighthouse Point lol Of which Lighthouse Point was my favorite.

I'll be going to SF Great America in a few days so right now: Maxx Force Raging Bull (seems awfully divisive, mostly on the negative side but a good number love it) Wrath of Rakshasa (will any dive manage to beat Sheikra/Griffon? Yet to find one, this seems like the best chance yet) Wildcat's...

The source I saw must've been wrong or I misread it, it was indeed the 2022 incident is what was being referred to with the young man who died. So my bad on that one. That said we do now have news about the July incidents, 2 separate cases of people having brain hemorrhage within in a week. One...

I actually had no idea, but seems yes there was a death from brain injury in 2022. As well as several non fatal injuries and allegations of head/nerve damage but never proven I guess. Yikes. And indeed, to the whole "would it lessen enthusiasts want to go" it really all depends on what replaces...

Or guess it gives you a 1 cred permanent edge, if it's a contest 😂 But yeah we enthusiasts are a nutty bunch, I do wonder how the "GP" felt. We can find a weird enjoyment in the experience and the unhinged nature (some of us) but I know the twice I went and it was open...the lines were short...

I think the roughness of X2 was a different beast, it wasn't just rough but the janky spinning on top of it. I know I was kinda startled how not totally smooth the rotations were felt a little more "segmented" and there's the part were going straight the seats did briefly but kinda violently...

1. Sheikra 2. Griffon 3. Iron Menace 4. Valravan Finally added a new one to the list. I wanted to like Iron Menace more, so thrilled it doesn't have a MCBR and it has some ok force at times, but so short! Just needed a little more to it or to bring some more oomph, still behind Sheikra and...

Iron Menace: Finally a dive without a MCBR! This is what I always said they should do and finally they're getting with the program. First ride on one and no doubt it's an improvement as it doesn't just kill all the speed then meander around the rest, but this one is so short! It had some force...

Went to Great Adventure yesterday. Only new credit was: Flash: Vertical Velocity have to say in the back it's a very fun ride! More forceful than anticipated, good pacing and good duration. Of course this comes at the cost of capacity but well...either be there at gate drop or use a one time...

Judgement shall be held until it can be ridden, and the inverted launch is epic but IDK this is just, to quote Hyde above, weird AF and not sure it'll really hit BUT we shall see. Regardless, kinda crazy it's happened esp as certain parks are pushing like 3 years to fully open something, here it...

Wow in 24 hours this went from rumors to confirmed. We have to hope AF1 will be sold/relocated but not taking the gamble. Imagine the kicking if you knew the park was closing, gambled, its not relocated and missed the chance! I'll use a long weekend, go to SFoG, Fun Spot, Atlanta for a day. An...

Siren's Curse The hype is legit. The POV did actually do it justice. This thing was epic. The drop is of course fun and different but the layout is what really shines. Packed with airtime, whip, and forcefulness. Not Maverick or I305 (sorry habit can't break it) levels but was surprised how much...

OK back from Cedar Point. Hate to be a flip flopper but my rankings need updating. 1: Gatekeeper 2: Rapterra 3: Thunderbird 4: Wild Eagle Rapterra is technically better in that it's a more consistent ride but its short, and while I'm not OMG this is horrible the shakiness throughout makes it...
