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.

Back home for a bit and wanted to put together a few produced videos. I want to do a "Worst to First" video with coaster rankings but you pick the park.

We headed to Six Flags Darien Lake yesterday and to say there was a air quality issue is an understatement. Check out these photos (right from the camera) with the orange / yellow haze.
Don't worry, we were only out in this for 2 hours but wow, Canada loves to give this area a fun summer with all it's wild fires.

A wise man once said that life is what happens when you are busy making other plans and they couldn't be more right.
The trips we had planned for the 125 Roller Coaster Challenge has got to be put on the back burner because the inspiration for this channel needs me more than ever. We are not going to go into specifics but Eri (my youngest daughter) is dealing with some things and I need to be there for her.
We have a lot of videos stockpiled so there will not be much of a change on that front but the trips we had planned are now on hold for awhile. Please keep Eri in your thoughts and prayers and ride a coaster or two for us while we tackle our latest challenge.
See you in the queue soon!!

Hey Everyone,
The season is halfway over and we made some changes back on the channel.
First of all, after seven years, we are ending the Trimmed & Stapled Podcast. This is quite a bummer because we loved doing it, however, the time it took could be better used to create more produced content so everything comes to an end.
Thank to everyone who enjoyed the podcast over the years and hope you keep enjoying this channel.
Second, we are also ending the membership on this channel. We may bring it back at another date but we couldn't keep taking member's money and not giving them the content they deserved.
Because of this, we will be gently putting the videos and shorts that were exclusive to members here on the many channel so expect some multi video and shorts content coming onto the channel this month til everything is up.
Thanks again and let's get back to making produced videos soon.
