As if I needed another reason to do the Scandi tour...This looks perfect. I absolutely loved Blue Fire and this looks even better! The Blue Fire trains are some of my favorites, it's really unique to be able to move so freely on an inverting coaster. I'm surprised they've announced it so early but I'm looking forward to following this.

Aside from thinking my sinuses were going to blow up, I thought it was pretty good. I'd like to see a few more of these with different layouts.

I really loved that ride, I'm not quite sure which side I prefer. That element is just so cool. It feels like slow motion. I hope some more parks pick up the concept soon!

I like the over/under same piece of track for the loop. It looks fun. I can't believe they said yolo.

The Knoebel's Scooters stocked with people to smash into walls, and Maverick.

Phoenix at Knoebel's! So much fun.

The whole wing-rider concept doesn't really excite me, but as far as the layouts go this looks like it'll be pretty fun. I guess I'll be renewing my platinum pass next year.

Eek, this sounds awful. I don't understand why he wouldn't just go to the hospital right away.

Ravine Flyer II popped right into my head. On a windy day, being up on top overlooking the peninsula that heads off into Lake Erie, it's a great view.

Leviathan the evening after the Coastin' for Kids event.

So far: SFMM Knott's Disneyland DCA USH Darien Lake x2 Canada's Wonderland x2 Coming up: The Great Escape Seabreeze Martin's Fantasy Island Cedar Point Waldameer Conneaut King's Island Kennywood Lakemont Idlewild Delgrosso's Kings Dominion Busch Gardens Williamsburg Hershey Park Adventure Park USA Dutch Wonderland Dorney Park Knoebel's Beijing, Shanghai, and Hong Kong portions of the TPR tour! And we'll see what the fall brings. Good season for sure!

Waldameer is one of my favorite small parks, I love the location and they have a pretty decent selection of flats. Ravine Flyer II is insane, although it's slowly getting the Gravity Group roughness. It held out for so long, too! Hopefully years down the road we'll see it with new trackwork and Timberliners.

Conneaut is weird. The hotel looks super creepy, I'd love to stay there a night. I'll be visiting for my second time in a couple weeks, and I'm looking forward to seeing how Blue Streak is doing, all I remember are the sunk-in holes and rays of light shining through the tunnel, it was like being in a musty cellar.

^You'd love it Dave, seriously awesome quality stuff! The burgers just fall apart in your mouth, and as we brought up it's almost like how White Castle's do, but that's for an entirely different reason.

What a great weekend! Really glad we went up to Blue Mountain, Ridge Runner is nuts! I had a blast at my first Coasting for Kids event, I can't wait until next year. And I will ride Sledge Hammer one day.

Thanks so much for this! I'll give it a try soon.

Crossing my fingers that on one of my visits this year I can finally get a ride on Sledgehammer!

Really excited for some backseat rides on this, it looks insane!

Very exciting news! I visit family in Arizona every so often, and have always wanted to go ride the Rattler. Now I'll really have to make the drive to New Mexico.

It might look decent and make sense if it was a bit more "evil," and not a bored looking woman. Very odd looking indeed.

I agree! So annoyed Latrice went instead of Phi Phi last week. Latrice was definitely a favorite. As is Sharon. And Chad's really good too. One week to go!

Two weeks of no Spanish class makes this essay/presentation due tomorrow that much more burdensome.

I agree completely! Especially in the back and after a visit to the beer tent.

I saw Cabin in the Woods yesterday, and it was really cool! Not really "scary," but pretty gory, a little sad, and some really good laughs! A pretty cool concept. Loved the scene of the "Purge" button.
