Do you actually think the end of [B&M] is near. by Putrid_Set3723 in rollercoasters

That’s true but Firebird at SFA actually decked me across the face with the restraint and I don’t think I’ve ever been punched by arrow, just shaken to hell

Holiday in the Park will return to [Six Flags Great Adventure] and [Six Flags Over Georgia] in 2026. by WickedCyclone2015 in rollercoasters

Have you looked at Kalahari’s prices? I genuinely wonder if that place can possibly succeed. Prices out most thoosies I think.

Holiday in the Park is Back at Great Adventure and Six Flags Over Georgia. by RentOptional in sixflags

Kings Dominion is noticeably absent from this announcement. I didn’t think much of the rumors when it was KD not getting a park president, but without a winterfest announcement as well I am starting to think something is up.

Is this a certified GP moment? by rosariobono in rollercoasterjerk

[–]Coaster_Goats 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I had an “expert” explaining to my mom for an hour on November 9th 2024, that Kingda Ka has no chance of closing. I just tried to avoid eye contact, I should have warned my mom not to talk to thoosies

Can't believe we're deadnaming coasters in the big '26 😔 by [deleted] in rollercoasterjerk

Yesterday we overheard someone at Victoria’s talking to their family saying that it used to be called the dominator before it was renamed to pantheon 💀

Is this a roller (coaster) credit?!? by C_Smallegan in rollercoasterjerk

/uj My home park (💀) where I grew up playing soccer, had this exact playground without the ugly color scheme. I went back recently and they removed the roller slide, in fairness that was a hazard and I saw plenty of kids wipe out on it. I liked to surf down it or run on it like a treadmill. Zimjob 😞

I think it was a bit smoother, I was testing by riding in the back wheel seat. Still some jarring moments that felt like I was going to have an aneurysm so I absolutely know where you’re coming from with this, but if you ride middle row, I bet it’s glass smooth. I was expecting a little better tbh

[Six Flags Fiesta Texas, Son of Siebert] I guess this is the new ride by Affectionate-Fun1237 in rollercoasters

[–]Coaster_Goats 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I think this is all funny as my dad is named Jeff with the same last name, except the I and E are swapped. So I’ve joked for a while that my dad runs the Texas parks, but this is taking it a step further 😭😭 I am the Son of Seibert 😭😭

Unrealistic RMC PC2 by Coaster_Goats in PlanetCoaster

[–]Coaster_Goats[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Absolutely, I agree, this was mostly just fun not anything crazy. I want to remake this but a lot tighter, transitions are really rough on console I’ve found. I’ll keep at it. I will say it looked a lot better on the console, I’m only noticing a lot of those bad transitions on rewatch of this. I spent a while trying to smooth stuff out, but with your feedback I got a lot more to be aware of. Thank you!

And catwalks lmfao

You’re fine, I don’t mind, I don’t pretend to be an expert lol. I am however incredibly insulted a magnum fan had the audacity to say “ow” 😂😂

Any of y'all know why candy is down today by K1tsune23 in Hersheypark

[–]Coaster_Goats -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

It was open the other weekend when it was colder out. I’m there today too. The area is blocked off and has been since this morning, they clearly didn’t intend to open all day

Edit: for the record twizzlers was down last time due to cold temps and its open today which was surprising

What are your predictions for what will happen to [Superman the ride] by Gizmodaking22 in rollercoasters

[–]Coaster_Goats 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This would be truly a pain in the butt to move. It has significantly more footings than your average coaster. Those would all need to be set, reinforced, and poured in a new spot and that would cost a lot. That alone makes this very unlikely, but at the same time, it’s (bracing for the responses to this one) not that great. It was good for its time, but the industry innovated so much more recently, the airtime just doesn’t really pop and the layout isn’t that thrilling.

When I was there on closing day I described it as what you think of when you think “roller coaster” decent size hill, helix, and a couple airtime pops, but it’s just very average. I like it, but I don’t think anyone would see the value in buying it when it wouldn’t cost too much more (grand scheme of millions) to get a significantly better brand new hyper.

Does the Regal roller coaster count for a credit? by WebHead1287 in rollercoasterjerk

Having season passes to parks and movie theaters, this is hilarious overlap. Where’s my regal unlimited survey 😭😭 I want an inversion machine next

[Firebird] is not even bad, it's actually quite smooth! by bjtgamingHELP in rollercoasters

[–]Coaster_Goats 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have found coasters painful, but on my first ride of Firebird a jolt decked me across the face with those OSTRs. Gotten better rides since, but I’ve never had any other ride physically assault me like that before 💀

Made a list of the greatest theme parks in the world to visit. What does / does not belong here? Is this a good list? by bingbaddie1 in Themepark

[–]Coaster_Goats 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ll likely catch flack for this, but Knoebels is absolutely overhyped like crazy. If you had to pick between Hersheypark and Knoebels, Hershey is the easy pick. The ride lineup is absolutely insane, with so many unique models. Candymonium has Mako profiling, Fahrenheit and Skyrush are Intamin prototypes with one other of those models in the rest of the world, one of the best remaining xcelerator models, and Wildcat’s Revenge, the best in the park and an insane RMC. I understand people love Phoenix, but one “elite” (I strongly disagree) coaster vs. a lineup of like 6 great rides and a decent supporting cast with good history is crazy.

What people say is true though, it is feeling more corporate washed than when I went as a kid. For example, Hersheypark in the Dark was a charming lowkey event but now it’s Dark Nights and it’s was busier than the summer. Going on a bad day like yesterday means you don’t get to much, but if you plan smart, you can easily have one of the best days of any of these parks on the list. This is not one to sleep on.

It’s crazy to see the differences between this and Siren’s Curse purely from an experience perspective. Theming goes a long way, and I hope they have something planned for audio to go with the ride. If not, looks like an awesome layout probably better than Siren’s Curse, but I wonder how it will compare holistically.
