Yeah still have one on my phone, still use it daily. I won't buy a phone without one. Still rocking the apple wired headphones 10 years later. Still have a headphone jack in my car.
Man I haven't seen price anywhere. Looks like FECs could get in on the fun. Also, it has to be a smaller track size and gauge than conventional RMC ibox shit right? I hope these sell like hotcakes, I always wondered why no one had bought the family coasters they've had listed for a while.
Oooh the trains look really cool.
Go to local antique shops/flea markets. Cool people and cool old shit
We just got a BGA rework machine at work, and I could do this

He's like a millennial Dave Ramsey. Personal finance doesn't get enough attention and he makes good bingeable content that makes me want to save more.
It doesn't seem like it's technically that crazy of a ride to keep open. Structural problems or what? God bless whatever park gets the first s&s axis lol
I second the k40. I've had mine a few years and it's a champ. I have exhaust hooked up so everything gets vented. Those open air diode lasers scare me I'd def burn my eyes out.
That was icon park, this is fun spot, two separate parks.
So I recently just got on Ka and Stormrunner recently, after missing TTD by a week, and xcelerator at knots the previous 2 years. And I don't know, the top hat seems to play second fiddle to the absolute batshit insane launch. Like, you could launch me to 120mph and then hit the brake run and I still think it'd be like, 60-70% as good. The top speed is sick though, and I do love the reverse spike on like say Mr freeze. I'm sure it'll be a blast, but Im mostly curious about throughput with 3 trains.
Also, does anyone think they had this being planned out as far back as removing wicked twister? They seem like kinda similar layout wise, and would look similar in the skyline. Still cool though.
Yeah man. If you hold on to whatever you're essentially negating the forces. I pretty much go full limp ragdoll mode. (except for holding my hands up). Wooden coasters that are a little more textured I will hold on, but for the majority of rides yes.

This song is permanently engrained in my head:
Crazy how much skate videos steered my music preferences over the years
I don't like how it's hard to put your hands up on a lot of B&Ms. Trims that hit to hard, getting stapled, having people who's hands are up hit you in the face, any kind of a rattle with OTSRs. Whatever tho I'm good at ignoring that shit and having fun.
Go check out Caleb Hammer on YouTube. People are paying 30% on everything lol

Ooh I too rode fury this year. Yeah, that's a bottom tier one fsho.
Yeah I get the sentiment. But if you rode the boss you'd understand (maybe...lol) American thunder is fantastic and screaming eagle fills the historic woodie checkbox. But the boss, with the gerstlauer trains is just awful. And I mean the park tries, you can see lots of the valleys have been retracked like this year. Regardless it feels like a losing battle. Like the last double up, from where they removed the helix, feels like in snowboarding/skiing where you "hit the knuckle".
Like the end of the ride feels pretty similar to this:
Mr Freeze and The Boss from the ferris wheel
With no raptors built last year, one ground up and one conversion, which coasters are you hoping for RMC to look at for next year? I don't have high hopes for RMC/Boss with Selim but, I can only hope. It's so rough even with the trackwork that gets done on it. I think it has the potential to be the best RMC conversion yet. Or do y'all think titan track would be a better route? I'm also hoping for a park to get a custom/terrain raptor but ehh.
I also never understood how the spike would be taller than the top hat. Unless they want you to get mad ejector over the tophat lol.
I also hope it's not just a straight spike and is twisted kinda like wicked twister.
I also think the blanket white paint looks terrible. Hopefully just primer or a base layer
Hopefully we get an announcement soon.
What's your favorite flat?
Giant canyon swing always gets me. Obvi it has the positives and floater like any s&s swing, but the acrophobia of feeling like youre about to be hurled off a cliff, combined with the amazing scenery makes it such a top notch installation for me.
Do y'all have any memories of being at parks before you were tall enough to ride?
This might not apply to everyone as I've talked to people that have no memories of before they were like 10, but, I have memories of going to astroworld in the early 90s when I was about 4 or 5 years old. I specifically remember ultratwister as looking insane and just having my mind blown watching it. I also remember Texas Cyclone as being just huge and loud. I was reassured by my parents that next year I would be tall enough to ride, but alas, we moved out califori-way and I never got any of the creds. Oh well, still lives on in my memory as a fun time.
