Best comment today, by far! Lmao 🤣

Which one? lol Six Flags Mexico or COTA? The interesting thing to me is that Vekoma offers 2 different tilt models. Nobody knows if these two will be the same layout or if one of each model got sold, so I'd say that I'm excited to see both! It would be a huge win for the community if each ride has a unique layout!

Thanks for that, I try my best to keep them consistent, yet improving as I learn more myself!

Thanks! I figure if I keep trying to produce decent content, viewership will catch-up eventually!

@PRC2019 It is kinda niche but the masses will wake up soon enough and you're gonna have a monster on your hands

Thanks!

Thanks for watching! If you live in that part of the country, I'll be posting park reviews for many of the independent parks throughout the region later this winter once travel slows down for the season.

@@PRC2019 W

I love all of those ideas and would be supportive of anything that saves these parks vintage rides and helps preserve the history.

I may or may not be riding Ghostrider on September 12th... Hopefully, we find out!

We've been teased far too long!

Is it safe to lose consciousness that many times in a 12 hour timespan? LOL Sounds like a fun day though!

Obviously you were not on our rides. I call it like I see it. I rode both trains multiple times to make sure I wasn't overreacting. It's fair to disagree with me, but there is never any harm in having maintenance look into a ride that I WITNESSED riders walking away with minor injuries, including one that drew blood. If anything, I thought I was fairly reserved with my criticism.

@PRC2019 It has nothing to do with disagreement, it's just wild to see someone who's a coaster enthusiast calling for a wooden coaster to be closed because it's not glass smooth like a steel coaster Pretending it's unsafe because it's "rough" to you is just cringe. I remember when enthusiasts used to love wooden coasters now some of them like this guy are out to make wood coasters seem outdated and unsafe.

Quite the opposite actually. I love Shivering Timbers and I was mad at how poorly it has obviously been maintained in the last 14 months. I had THIS very same ride ranked in my top 20 last year, yet this year it is simply awful. Which was heartbreaking considering that we drove 8 hours just to spend the day at Michigan's Adventure. The SMALL potholes have become LARGE potholes. So much so that during the first drop and valley it physically makes the trains bounce vertically off its upstop wheels. This is causing major jackhammering...side to side and vertically. It's bad. No two ways around it. They SHOULD close it for the season, fix the insanely bad areas, THEN re-open the ride next year on opening day. Considering that we personally witnessed injuries, here's what I can tell you are matters of fact: -we all know that track imperfections only worsen over time, which logically means the park would be exposing itself to greater liability and risk every single day this goes unaddressed. -a potential lawsuit could effect the park in the short and long term, and worse yet could close a ride like Shivering TImbers permanently, and I'm confident nobody wants that to happen. -my number 1 responsibility is to public safety and honesty to viewers, followers, and subscribers, not shilling for a park that made poor maintenance decisions. (but fortunately not uncorrectable!) FWIW, I'm a FSCP® and deal with businesses and their risk mitigation strategies, my wife is a RN with years of experience working with insurance companies for injury claims, and I have 2 brothers that are attorneys. Let's just say that I've seen a few injury related lawsuits in my day... Where you think I'm hating on the ride and wooden rollercoasters, I'm actually defending the ride and giving it a voice. I love the ride, I want it here to stay, so fix the damn thing. We want the same thing ultimately, but we cannot ignore reality, because doing so might blowup the whole damn thing. My final piece of evidence is the lines... IF Shivering TImbers is running 'properly' then why is it a WALK-ON while Wolverine Wildcat is nearly a 1 hour wait? (which also got ZERO additional Titan track like it was supposed to) Even the GP won't ride it, that's really the only evidence that I need.

Aye! If it does eventually get sold, I hope the purchaser decreases the typical length of time between new attractions!

Definitely would not have been my choice either, let's just hope that it's at least a pretty good one.

This one does not have a mid course break run so it should be better then most.

Intamin

Thanks for the sub!

I do my BEST to avoid politics in the videos, but I do agree. Parques would be wise to stick to markets they know if they truly believe that a recession is upcoming.

@@PRC2019 IMO the recession is here, the markers were changed by the media. Next is a depression....there goes my retirement ☹

Same here.

I obviously wouldn't complain about either one!

Agreed. I hope it stays vintage.

Nothing as of yet, but ironically, I just referenced this as a joke for the new video regarding the Vekoma thrill division.

I'm hearing some more details about possible intentions and more regarding potentially motivated suitors (a couple of the groups we discussed in this video.) Once I'm able to corroborate some of the info I'm getting, I'll definitely have an update video. I don't know if this will ease your mind at all, BUT...as the days move on, I'm becoming more excited opposed to concerned. The demand for Kennywood and Lake Compounce specifically, is SIGNIFICANTLY higher than many of us initially considered.

@@PRC2019 With Kennywood im not surprised sense its the Biggest, Most known, and as far as I am aware loved park in the chain so if anyone wanted just one or few of the parks I do know that's likely the biggest one others would want, Lake commence being up there not to surprised, for until they acquired Adventureland it was the next biggest Thrill/Everyone park they owned.

American Thunder is awesome! Super underrated! And Boss is quite polarizing, I've never met someone who thinks it's just "ok". It's either hate or love...lol So I definitely get it!

You're a great dad, my friend!

I thought of them originally, but the only part of the family that could have afforded it is if they had all stuck together. The old man kept that whole operation together. 1.3 billion dollars is HEFTY financing!

I wouldn't mind exploring that one a bit more. Walibi would be an intriguing stateside owner.

I found myself saying this a few times...lol HOWEVER, I think the poor outlook for the economy could actually force another merger, perhaps even more unlikely than the one we just saw. Uncharted waters and uncertain times! I think the possibility of Merlin is a wild thing to imagine. I'd be over the moon happy.

@@PRC2019 yeah, I agree. If Merlin gets involved, I'd be excited about that as well. I guess time will tell. I wonder if Palace knew about this and that's why they've been focusing on the improvements around the park the last few years.

Hopefully it wasn't too long being stuck up there!

@@PRC2019 it was for like 30 min😭😭😭

The new video I just uploaded will potentially throws this topic to the back burner for a while lol

It's debatable 😂

I do dig the mine train, it might slide up higher at years end after my rides this season!

I can not disagree

Screaming Eagle was tolerable! Ninja is just bad lol

Then it takes all the fun out of the big ol eagle!

To be fair, most boomerangs are last for me, but not all.

I agree with both. The dive is way too overdone right now, and a new wing is already coming to KD. I must admit, I LOVE the gerstlauer infinity coaster idea that has recently been floated out. Wouldn't mind that addition in the slightest.

Agreed. Not everything has to be maxx force lol

Yep, agreed.

I'm just happy that the GP still love it! Helps keep the lines lower on the others lol I don't need to ride it again.

@@PRC2019 exactly haha

Thanks! Always appreciate the support!
