[@ejectorairtime73]

Rest in Peace STAN, what a legend

[@ericjones3362]

CANT is a four letter word! I love that. I had the opportunity to meet him over the past year of his life. He was such an inspiration to me! He made a difference in the world around him and has a wonderful story! What could anybody else ask for. A life well lived!

[@thekurtmagirt]

I worked for, Stan at S&S for 8 years and Soaring Eagle for 3 years up until 2014 when i moved to Las Vegas to oversea his Zipline on top the Rio Hotel. He's been a great mentor and friend for over 14 years.

[@CoasterStudios]

that's awesome to hear! It was a pleasure to meet with him, he really is a great guy!

[@Shockzone1495]

RIP Stan Checkett He had just passed away today.

[@Undercoverelevator212-s2n]

R.I.P. Stan! You will never be forgotten in the industry!

[@Dannyjones1]

RIP Stan... Your contribution to the industry is massive. Can't believe I actually watched this on the 4th of Jan, but only just found out he died.

[@ArrowEnlightenmentLeader]

Stan, what a Man!

[@CoasterWriter]

Your profile name (and picture) put a huge smile on my face.

[@kabe1750]

RIP Stan

[@danielworleyyy]

I remember reading about this wonderful man in some of my old coaster books I would obsess over growing up. Outside of rollercoasters, he's made some of my favorite thrill rides which exist. This was thoroughly intriguing and I'm very happy you had the opportunity to interview him.

[@XGaming1]

Please come to Happiness Flags Great America!!!

[@ALTFlying]

Thanks for giving Glenwood Caverns a shout out. The Haunted Mine Drop has certainly been a runaway success and can't wait for the reception it should receive being open a whole Summer. I had the pleasure of being one of the first riders before public and even know what is about to happen as the floor pulls away and still caught me off guard. I'll make sure to share this interview with marketing. Stan has done some crazy things at our park and couldn't be more thankful.

[@CoasterStudios]

ALT2870 thank you so much! We love Haunted Mine Drop and glad Stan was able to construct such an awesome attraction for all of us to experience!

[@TheAndroidvsapple]

I saw Stan on a documentary about rollercoasters.

[@coasterlover2484]

Why does he kind of remind me of John Kramer XD

[@TinCanCampers]

[@zackwelch3038]

Can you do a coaster battle: Goliath vs Goliath vs Goliath vs Goliath vs Goliath vs Goliath vs Goliath!

[@txsms4197]

He seems like a nice guy

[@Therecreep]

Great video, Btw, you should do a Coaster Parody on something from Six Flags: Great America, something bad like the Demon or something good like Raging Bull. It'd be interesting.

[@scrambled5948]

I wonder if I'll be brave enough to go on a roller coaster. Maybe someday...

[@jarrenlumpkin5178]

Scrambled 59 you don't like roller coasters I been in love with roller coasters since I been little I wanna rid one so badly tho 😭😩😭😩😭😩😭😩😭😩😭😂😂😊👍

[@scrambled5948]

Jarren Lumpkin which circle of hell did this reply come out of?

[@jarrenlumpkin5178]

Scrambled 59 you said wonder it you would be brave enough to rid a roller coaster then you said maybe some day and I kind had went overboard with my reply sorry 😂😂😬😬👍

[@roxynano]

Completely unrelated, but for the Silver Ticket rewards. Wonder Woman Golden Lasso Coaster wins for... McDonald’s the ride!

[@mattglumactheautisticgolfe1608]

Bring back some of the classic Arrow legends Stan.

[@j-coasters]

Matt Glumac :The Autistic Golfer: the only arrow design worthy of being revived is the suspended swinging. All the other arrows, especially the loopers deserve to stay in the grave that they’re in. No park would want to buy a clunky, rough, painful piece of crap coaster for a little nostalgia factor.

[@mattglumactheautisticgolfe1608]

I don't care at all for that comment.

[@TheCoasterDude]

I had nothing to do until this video was uploaded
