I'm very happy to see something like the Mitch Hawker Poll coming back and I'm very happy that TPR is doing it. There are a couple coasters that I feel should be added to the final version (I'm not sure if I just missed it, but I think SFOG may have been left off). Also, I think it'd be better to group clones, such as Boomerangs and SLCs together instead of listing each one, like was done in the Mitch Hawker poll, as I really don't think there's really one specific Boomerang or SLC, etc. that needs to be ranked over another. But those are small and minor things, and I'm still very happy to see this being done.

Nice. It definitely looks like a fun little ride and a great addition to this park. I always enjoy hearing about out of the way parks getting cool new rides.

Very saddened to hear about the sudden removal of Wild Mouse. I understand the logic of why they decided to remove the ride, but it still bums me out and was hoping to get to BPB soon and ride it.

2017 was a pretty quiet year for me, but here it goes anyway. #1. X2 #2. Twisted Colossus #3. Xcelerator #4. Cannibal #5. Gold Striker #6. Joker #7. Timber Terror (New) #8. Tatsu #9. Riddlers Revenge #10. Batman the Ride

Damn. This thing looks f*cking brutal. But I'm glad to hear that it's actually apparently fun,.

Awesome trip report. Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween looks like one of the most fun Halloween events, and it's always cool to see everyone in costume.

1. Voyage 2. Wooden Warrior 3. Twister (Grona Lund) 4. Hades (Original version)

Pumpkin Spice Latte from Starbucks for $4. That time of year has arrived once again.

Hmm, really tough choice since I really love both. So hard to choose. Gonna go with Dollywood simply because Lightning Rod was closed when I went. Balder or El Toro?

Looks like you're having an awesome time, and Oktoberfest looks amazing, as always. One of these years, I'll make it out there.

62/100. Though I would not trust any its that lists Mean Streak as one of the best 100 coasters.

This place looks awesome. I really hope these cookie dough places take off as it all sounds incredibly good.

Awesome! It's pretty close to what I was hoping Knotts was going to get, and it looks really freaking good. Can't wait to ride this thing next year.

Yep. This is RMC Mean Streak. This thing looks absolutely monstrous and one of RMCs best coasters yet. Can't wait to ride it next year.

Grona Lund Honorable Mentions: Dollywood, Silver Dollar City, Phantasialand, The Other Disney Parks I've visited 5 BUCKET LIST PARKS 1. Tokyo Disney Sea 2.

Universal Studios Japan Honorable Mentions: Ferrari World, All sorts of weird Japanese parks that don't look amazing, but fun and quirky, Efteling, Oktoberfest (Technically, it's a fair. Not a park. But damn it! I want to go there!), Gold Reef City (Something about this park just really grabs my attention)

I have no idea what the hell happened to cause something like a freaking seat on a frisbee like that just...fall off. I keep watching the video, all I see is the ride running normally, hear a CRASH!!! A seat just falls to the ground and people are flying in the air. I never once suspected that this could happen. What I do know is that this is not normal and something was seriously wrong with the ride. You inspected it today and signed off on it? You're fired because you clearly missed something and this should not have been signed off. There is no excuse for letting a ride go so much that apparently an entire seat can just fall off the ride.

Ugh. Universal Orlando has pretty much over the past few years, done absolutely everything in their power to piss me off and always do the wrong thing. Seriously, this has to be the worst announcement any theme park has made since...since...ever. Seriously, F*ck this!!

Blue Moon a couple nights ago.

Awesome Photo TR. Yas Waterworld looks amazing and easily the best themed water park I've seen so far. Hope to get to the UAE sometime soon.
