The Coaster Spot

This is by far the best angle and it demonstrates why it was taken down by explosions! When the tower hit the ground with such force it simply snapped most of the bolts holding the different pieces together therefore creating what looks like an unassembled K’nex roller coaster on the ground. Now it’s easy for them to clean up instead of taking it down piece by piece with an expensive crane. This why Lex Luther: Drop of Doom will likely continue to operate until its end of service life regardless of Superman’s operational status and the location of the tower in park. It will have to be taken down with a crane and unlike Zumanjaro it’s not in the middle of nowhere. That also makes me bring up the point that if they are building another 400 foot tall coaster I really hope they don’t put the tower in the same location because it was always a terrible location. With the GASM and the parachute tower gone the tower really could be located right on the boardwalk midway and the station wouldn’t have to be located that much further into the Golden Kingdom as Kingda Ka’s was.

Unfortunately, I missed the toppling of Kingda Ka by a few minutes this morning… go check out Collins video for multiple angles. I’m Very sad that I didn’t get to see this in person yet alone film it myself…..

Who knew that during this visit it was going be my last ride on nighthawk? at the time it had just reopened after receiving extensive work so I figured we had it quite a few more years. Just like Kingda Ka it would’ve been nice to have some notice. I would’ve probably tried to make the effort to go down there. Hopefully batwing still has at least one season left. I will definitely be riding it a bunch and taking a few visits to Six Flags America this coming year. Anyways, go check out the video where I rope dropped this coaster that I enjoyed, but I understand some peoples distain of it.

RIP Steath 1999-2024

Since I don’t have time to make a video about the Kingda Ka rumors…. I’ve heard about them for about 2 months now from some trusted sources.
*2025 will be the last season
*Cedar Fair merger is the cause they don’t want another one
*1M+ Annual Operational Cost
*Not sure if a renovation was ever considered, but it isn’t anymore & it will be scraped along with Zumanjaro
*The 400 Launched Mack Spinner is likely

I don’t want to see it go but all of it make sense and it loses its record next year so they kind of have an out finally

The proposed layout for Kings Island at 200 feet seemed really dumb to me but at 400 feet that could be absolutely insane. Possibly a better ride overall and worthy replacement if it has a dual station and decent capacity. Go ride as much as you can, I have…. I hope what I’ve been told is wrong and is reconsidered if true.

We are devastated to announce that Chellybean passed away 1-5-24 in her sleep. She lived 11 fantastic years being sassy and gave such joy to everybody she met. We are saddened by her death but find comfort that she went peacefully.

You can check out a playlist of the videos that she has been in over the years down below

Is everyone looking forward to all the holiday events starting up this weekend? Personally, it is my favorite time of the year as far as amusement park go! I’d like to apologize, for the lack of videos. I have been very distracted by an family member’s health but a successful surgery was preformed today! Look for 2 videos tomorrow and hopefully back to a near daily schedule again!
