125 Roller Coaster Challenge
Welcome to our channel as we explore amusement parks and spotlight all the food, rides, roller coasters, and fun they have to offer.
What started out as a simple family adventure is now a podcast (Trimmed & Stapled) and this YouTube channel.
We just finished our seventh year and have ridden 399 different coasters and visited 78 amusement parks. Our channel continues to grow and add new video series including : Helpful Hints, Focus On (Park Reviews), Let's Eat, Let's Go Shopping, Must Rides, Making the Grade (Roller Coaster Reviews), Spotlights, Challenge Accepted and our most popular Explore Series.
Visit our channel for daily content including both full-length and shorts.
Thank you for checking out the channel, and we would love to know what you think, so comment on any ideas you have.
See you in the queue

Well rumor has it we are about to get crushed with some snow this weekend. So what are your thoughts on snow and cold weather in general?
I want it 80 degrees plus every day but I hear some people like it colder (hence the states of Wisconsin, Minnesota and the new state of Canada).
Let us know in the poll below.

Dropping our first 2026 filmed video tomorrow as we stopped by the Hersheypark area today. While everything we are dropping now is "new" as in never seen before, it was all filmed in the summer of 2025.
For this year, we want to get out videos a bit faster so when we film something new, you can expect to see it ASAP.
So tomorrow, get ready for the 2026 season!!

Filming begins tomorrow!! Hitting Hersheypark to film some of the new merch at HP Supplies, a little Chocolate World and maybe (MAYBE) Zoo America.
It feels great to shake off the rust and get back to our true passion. Which video should we focus on tomorrow.

It's a New Year so it's time to announce our new videos planned for 2026. Last year focused on smaller parks and water park but for this season we want to hit some of the larger parks (like Cedar Point, Kings Island, Canada's Wonderland. You can expect our video favorites like Let's Eat, Let's Play, Spotlights, Merch, and of course our Explore videos but we want to expand a bit.
We are adding Zoo/ Aquariums - POV of Log Flumes - Random Tourist Trap Explores and what we started late last season, Fudge Reviews.
Which of the new video concepts are you most excited for. Vote below.
