Flights booked for the weekend of August 1. Visiting last weekend of operation was not my first choice but that's my friend's only available weekend. Also planning to knock out Alabama Adventure and Lake Winnie. Wasn't planning on doing much the rest of the year so it'll be nice to get a...

Good god that looks like it could permanently ruin this hobby for me. I NEED it. Kyrgyzstan looks beautiful though, so it's not like a possible trip would be just for this.

Ugh, I'm missing the creds. I'm not one to prioritize a trip for a closing coaster I need (especially as most of the closures we see these days are creds that aren't all that good), but I may need to get down there for a random weekend this summer. I'm not willing to let AF1 slip into spiteful...

Unfortunately these days you just can't rely on that anymore, no matter what the park.

Hate it when that happens.

Hyped for this and glad it's happening! The woodie was "fun" but far from good. I'll never say no to an RMC Iron Horse. We'll for sure learn more details about the layout/elements. Those turnarounds are way too simple/unbanked to actually be it. Generally dig the layout here, love to see lots...

Yeah, was there that day. One of the most miserable visits I've had in a park honestly. Was not having fun in that cold rain and high winds. The park was dead obviously, so I managed about 14 of the creds in a few hours (including the big boys). But someone thought it was a good idea to run...

Sunac Land has been high on my list for the eventual China trip for me, pretty much for Coaster Through the Clouds and Python in Bamboo Forest. CTTC may not seem like the world beater these days, but it's rare that Intamin does "modern" hyper coasters anyhow, so it's kept my attention.

The tiny wild mouse sitting in the middle of a dirt field with a giant coaster being built nearby is the silliest looking thing.

He and his family also did the race and I know a lot of folks that did run didn't spend a ton of time in the park. Don't blame them--I hate running myself, but a post-run hot tub sounds much nicer than following up with a pretty hilly park day. Crowded parks can suck, but you can still get by...

I originally wasn’t gonna write a report for this since I covered Dollywood pretty well from my first visit, but there’s some new creds, old ones have been updated, and it’s been eight years since I’ve visited. That’s way longer than I would’ve liked to revisit—especially since it was one of my...

Energylandia tends to just build things man. I honestly don't recall any of their announcements, but they're not exactly something I pay attention to to or anticipate.

I'd love to see the flying coaster make a comeback. My money's on a wing coaster. Roughness aside, that would make the most sense with the lineup. Could see them going for a big one. Really hoping it's not a dive. But how hilarious would it be if they put in a junior invert?

I'm in the minority but I still think this will be a great ride (though to be fair, anything was going to be better than Kingda Ka... 'twas a horrible ride). The capacity will be bad (I mean we'll see, moving station platform will help), but sitting in those trains at 100 mph will be...
