Haha, I had a feeling this would happen. Glad to see it come true.

I heartily recommend Quarters & I'm In Your Mind Fuzz by King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard. Both great albums, and very different from one another. I might be going to catch Ty Segall when he comes by this weekend. I prefer his earlier material to the newer, but I haven't heard his very latest yet.

As a huge fan of B&M Stand Ups, this would be frigging fantastic. I think they are far and away the most intense rides B&M has designed. However, I agree with you, looks too good (or weird) to be true. If not, though, I could see this being for China- since they appear intent on achieving a 1:1 coaster to person ratio.

Same, and going again tonight, haha. Cube 2.0 is beyond words.. Ed, we're 0-2. So close. Indeed. This was my first time at an EDM show (prepping for Electric Forest, though), and it was quite the sight to behold. The Aragon felt like an entirely different venue. Have fun tonight- I'm sure we'll run into each other eventually.

5/4 - deadmau5 at Aragon Ballroom.

I'm a big fan of Giordano's Stuffed (in reasonable portions), but I also think their thin crust is better than Lou Malnati's & Gino's.

And all was right with the world.

I've always assumed so, based on Giovanola's reputation, in combination with the Batman-esque layout. And word of mouf.

God, I want to ride Anaconda.

PortAventura is a park right near the top of my bucket list, and as evidenced by your photos, for good reason. Excellent report.

Surely, they've been following the SFA/SFNE threads and only wanted to nip all the forthcoming Gatekeeper walleyed omg will it be taered down speculation in the bud.

Undoubtedly the second track for Dueling Mean Streaks.

I mean, one of the main concepts of the GIB (at least early on) was that you might valley.

Normal People (NP?) is another good one.

Looks cool, and great photos. 5 car trains- is this the longest Gerstlauer has gone for their Eurofighter/Infinity Coaster? Looks different.

I was trying to go last minute but it was sold out. Weh. Ah, bummer- I had a spare last-minute ticket, too. It was a great show. I bet they'll be coming around here again sometime this year, because they're dropping another album in June (and supposedly 3 more on top of that in 2017). It was my first time at The Metro, which is a neat little venue.

Lest we forget- this is Dorne...err...SFA we're talking about here. I doubt Six Flags is ready to relocate Dare Devil Dive or X-Flight already.

King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard @ The Metro (Chicago) last night.

Indeed.

Yes! We get a kick out of it every time. Prior to riding it for the first time, no one had any idea what was in store. It's as fun-bad as it gets, and really, the only reason to re-ride it, IMO.

I've always assumed that if the trim doesn't hit on a B&M coaster, the train just isn't going fast enough. You're cresting the hill at roughly the same speed. Are we sure these great trimless rides aren't just a psychological thing?

Very excited for 2017 coastering. Due to that nagging Viper is getting TAERD DOWN rumor, we'll be hitting SoCal up for the first time (hopefully for West Coast Bash, if Viper can hold on that long). SFMM and Knotts have personally been huge coaster targets since X and Xcelerator were new, so this by itself makes 2017 a success. We're also looking to stop by Hershey again sometime in early July, and have our yearly late-season CP trip scheduled to coincide with the unannounced, mid-week opening of Kind Streak. Oh, and the home park (SFGAm).

Glad to see this bullshit only lasts through Memorial Day weekend.

I actually passed on Disaster Transport, multiple times. Now it's gone, forever and ever amen.

If this goes to Dorney I will be so happy.
