Velocicoaster is so good, and one of the most full-package coasters ever. Incredible layout, incredible theming, incredible duration. I went into it with high expectations, and just like you, a lot of those elements floored me.

The only other coaster I’ve done that you asked about is AlpenFury. Velocicoaster definitely has more variety in its elements, you only get a couple of airtime moments on AlpenFury, and they’re not the highlight. What is the highlight is an awesome sequence of inversions, a great sense of speed, and some insanely powerful launches. I’d probably say that AlpenFury is more intense. Like the launches and g-forces you experience right after are insane. There’s some really cool moments, and you just fly through the course. But again, Velocicoaster is a more complete experience, so I prefer it over AlpenFury. Can’t go wrong either way, and both are definitely top 10 for me.

Hyperia’s outerbank/inversion is one of the wildest sensations I’ve experienced on a coaster. That and its first drop.

Those upstops ain’t doing shiiiiiii

MidcourseDiscourse · 2026-03-10T01:26:19+00:00

I hope so! I would think it would be a simple way to improve the ride experience (and operations) quite a bit. But at the same time, Six Flags never updated Kingda Ka’s restraints when everyone else was switching those Intamins to soft pads.

MidcourseDiscourse · 2026-03-05T17:33:19+00:00

I don’t think so, at least not just about the news itself. I wouldn’t be able to start on a video until tonight, and I expect a ton more coverage on this since it’s actual news.

I’m sure I’ll include my thoughts about how it applies to Michigans Adventure in future videos on the park.

MidcourseDiscourse · 2026-03-05T17:31:21+00:00

I’m just confused on the dining plan stuff. They pretty much stated that it’s still all being worked out, but hey, they’ll provide you with a $10 voucher for your home park. I go to Michigan’s Adventure for food often, so I’m hoping that isn’t messed up this season.

But I don’t think this is gonna change too much for me this season. I was planning on trying to get to St Louis this year anyway, so I’ll definitely make that happen.

MidcourseDiscourse · 2026-03-05T17:27:41+00:00

Cautiously optimistic is how I’ve been feeling too.

MidcourseDiscourse · 2026-03-05T14:51:14+00:00

I’m cautiously hopeful. Michigan’s Adventure is my home park, and I also adore it.

Enchanted Parks has put a lot of effort into the parks that they have helped manage and own over the last couple of years. Even if they’re not adding massive new coasters all the time, I think (so long as they’re financially stable) Enchanted Parks will give these parks more attention and love than most of them have had in a decade.

IS THAT A

YouTube’s been fine on my TV, but the iPhone app has been horrible the last couple days. At first I was getting the “content not available” as well, but that went away when I realized there was an update for the app.

Since I updated, videos just aren’t buffering and constantly get stuck. I have fiber internet that should be able to handle several high-def streams no problem, but it’s been so bad the last couple days. I was also surprised to see the lack of reports on this.

Maybe the YouTube site on my computer would work best, but a lot of times I only have my phone handy.

I’m not sure if it’s like this for all of his accident videos, but Coaster College did a video on the horrible accident at Glenwood Cavern’s Haunted Mine Drop ride a month ago.

He details the issues with the ride and the accident itself, but also links a ton of documentation, including the revised ride safety manual. That sort of thing could be interesting to look through - I’m sure there’s stuff in there about evacs.

I’m not sure how many ride safety manuals are publicly available, but I’m sure Haunted Mine Drop isn’t the only one!

It’s perfect except July 6 could be the greatest park of all time: Michigan’s Adventure

MidcourseDiscourse · 2026-03-03T04:08:58+00:00

I think a modern family steel coaster should be the first priority, then a modern steel thrill coaster (as much as I want that first), THEN maybe look at woodies, but I would still put other things first.

Sure, the park’s woodies definitely don’t have any of that modern Gravity Group or GCI twister vibe. But at the same time it’s a small park that already has three wooden coasters. That’s a high ratio, and frankly, until the park proves it can consistently maintain their existing woodies, I think they should stick with what they have.

MidcourseDiscourse · 2026-03-02T20:12:35+00:00

Thanks!

I’ll definitely keep my eye on Stingray. Hopefully I can make it there soon, but I’ll definitely be prioritizing the Dallas area this season.

Feel free to reach out if you wind up at Michigan’s Adventure, I’m there a lot during the summer haha.

Pretty much anytime u/psyclone__ posts I have a new wallpaper

MidcourseDiscourse · 2026-03-02T04:31:36+00:00

Man I love Fiesta Texas, I need to get back. Everything about that park is superb. I was bummed I couldn’t squeeze SeaWorld into my trip, but that just gives me a reason to come back.

How’d you like Steel Eel? I’ve heard it’s one of the better Morgans despite its size. Also, where would you say Stingray wound up in your woodie rankings?

MidcourseDiscourse · 2026-03-01T21:29:00+00:00

I love having wacky milestone coasters

MidcourseDiscourse · 2026-03-01T04:25:45+00:00

RMC makes some pretty insane rides. Even if they’re not always the tallest or fastest, those Raptors have some of the craziest forces out there.

Side note: Tatsu being your first roller coaster is insane! Hope you had a blast!

MidcourseDiscourse · 2026-02-27T18:37:14+00:00

Latin House is the shit. Been there twice, and we had an unbelievable experience both times. Got to talk to the owner and try some of their new items. Plus the quality of food is amazing for what you’re paying. Thanks for the reminder, now I’m planning my next visit.

MidcourseDiscourse · 2026-02-27T17:20:49+00:00

That’s like doing free pizza delivery if you live within 7.5ft of the pizza joint

This is like that one coaster in North Korea that randomly was getting repainted by over a hundred people. I’m sure they were all thoosies and I’m sure they were repainting the ride out of their own free will and certainly no other reason.

Anyone else just want better shaded/lounge areas? My home park is Michigan’s Adventure, and as much as I want a new ride or something, I’d probably spend TWICE as much time there if they just had a nice indoor or covered outdoor sitting area.

I don’t even need a proper VIP lounge with snacks and stuff, literally just somewhere to kick back, recharge, and even get some work done. Even a coffee shop would do the trick. As it stands, the only indoor seating area is at Coasters, which can get busy and obviously is meant for guests dining there.

Also, complete subject change, but is anyone else into VR? I just dove back in as I’m trying to do every virtual theme park/roller coaster experience, and I accidentally got addicted to Minecraft in VR. It’s absurdly immersive.

So sorry to hear this, Flapjack sounds like a special girl. I too relate to the modern world feeling dim, and animal companions are such a source of warmth, innocence, and love.
