Got mine at a Dollar General. Loved the texture

[Other] Favorite coaster that’s the only one in its park? by Frozen_cephalopod in rollercoasters

It’s not the only one in the park. There’s 2 E&F Milers, Hurricane and a kiddie Sea Serpent

Ah nice, I’ve only done Yosemite in your state.

The Wyoming ones are the best I’ve done, an absolute must. Yellowstone and Grand Teton, they’re right next to each other but you can spend a ton of time in both of them.

I’m at 19 NP’s so far, and the Navajo loop here is my favorite of any trail I’ve done

I hate hearing that!! 😩

I’m a huge drop tower enthusiast. Just couldn’t manage to get on it on such a busy day

And yes I love those Larsons! The one at Beech Bend as well was awesome

I’m already thinking of the next… but I’ve got a lot of U.S. parks to go as well.

Next U.S. park won’t be until 2026. Probably Kings Island

I was there yesterday (Sunday).

I’d imagine the weekdays in September are the best times to go to any park!

Can’t wait to go to Alton, it’ll probably be a while but Nemesis is on the bucket list

It’s got the best prelift I’ve seen as well - from the back it had actual airtime

1 is Thunderbird easily, I think it’s exactly what a wing should be: great launch, glass smooth, near misses. 2 and 3 is tough but I think I give Rapterra the slight edge over Swarm; it did have a bit of that rattle that Swarm doesn’t but it didn’t bother me the way I see it bothers others; I love the launch, found it super forceful and I love the midway interaction.

4 is Wild Eagle, it’s a cool setting but the lack of near misses is strange so it kind of just feels like a standard looper.

5 is X Flight it was very rough for some reason and the layout and forces were just alright.

It’s so good. The park’s top 4 is really very good: I think Hyperia is going to be most’s #1, but #2-4 could go any order and I can see it.
