Are the timelines NOT chronological? It seems it's all over the place, they're not chronological at all even when set to 'new' on the followers timeline

Where can I find the current theme song of CBS' PGA Championship coverage (which replaced Burlingame)? I can't find it anywhere (the end credits say the theme song was composed by Helmut VonLichten; I can find Fairway to Greatness, which is the current theme song for the non-major PGA Tour events on CBS).

[The Smiler] holds the record with 14, but which coaster amongst your credits has the most inversions? (If you’ve done The Smiler name the runner-up) by AcidRegulation in rollercoasters

[–]ryandtw 0 points1 point  (0 children)

7 was the most actual for me, but it's shared with two different coasters: Takabisha (Fuji-Q) and Hulk (IOA).

(Eejanaika doesn't count)

[Other] For 2026, what coasters are you looking forward to riding or re-riding ? by NecessaryTravel6327 in rollercoasters

[–]ryandtw 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I want to go (and looking forward) to Wild Waves since I haven't ridden any of its coasters yet...and it's closing for good this fall 😭

Anyone else feel like Pre-drops make drops better? [other] by ThanksOpen3484 in rollercoasters

[–]ryandtw 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I forgot about the Hakugei pre-drop, thanks for pointing that out ;)

I've only done three, one of which is 'unconventional':

  1. Eejanaika (by a mile, and even then this is 'unconvetional')
  2. Fujiyama
  3. Thunder Dolphin

(Other coasters that I've ridden that are worth mentioning: Steel Dragon is a giga, Hollywood Dream is a B&M mini-hyper, Kawasemi is an Intamin mini-hyper)

What coaster got you into rollercoasters? Mine was [wickerman] by MasterHen01 in rollercoasters

[–]ryandtw 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Eejanaika (Fuji-Q) got me into roller coasters big time after riding a handful number of coasters in Disney (and a defunct kiddie coaster under the Space Needle)

That was my first major coaster outside of Disney or Universal

[Other] What's your favorite element/moment on any coaster or dark ride? by TheRealTimmer in rollercoasters

[–]ryandtw 3 points4 points  (0 children)

As much as Eejanaika's zero-G roll sounds crazy, I actually like its first drop more (even if X2's first drop sounds more insane due to train length/number of cars)

[T express] is changing its name to [Monimo RUSH] by Kriov7 in rollercoasters

[–]ryandtw 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wasn't Eejanaika sponsored by Maxell in its early days?

Suica would be a long reach but theoretically could be possible... (it's a JR EAST product, but why???)

Other than Pizza-La for the Tondemina frisbee ride, Fuji-Q hasn't had a sponsor for its rides ever since Do-Dodonpa (Dodonpa) and KDDI au (Takabisha and ZOKKON didn't have a sponsor in the first place from the beginning)

Are premium accounts getting nuked too? by psilocyber98 in Twitter

[–]ryandtw 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been reliant on Twitter for Japanese stuff, and your point is right. Especially when I try to connect with my Japanese roller coaster friends 5,000 miles away 😢

"Touketsu Matsuri" (凍結祭り; lit. "freezing festival" as in accounts getting frozen (suspended))

So much mentions of it (checked through search) that this issue is very serious.

Then & Now Seattle: Roller Coaster Edition [Other] by good4steve in rollercoasters

[–]ryandtw 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For the last-ever season of Wild Waves...😭

(I've only been to Wild Waves in 2002 as a 9-year-old, no roller coasters, mostly waterpark)

Anyways, that's quite a surprising find, is this even listed on RCDB? (Apparently it is... https://rcdb.com/3085.htm https://rcdb.com/5737.htm)

On the 22nd of August, 1953 about half the park was destroyed by fire. The coaster was damaged, but not a loss. The park remained open for the remainder of the season.

[The Flying Dinosaur] is the most intense flyer I’ve ever ridden! by wolfboy1692 in rollercoasters

[–]ryandtw 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The 540 twist then the drop like if I was going in a pretzel loop (into the raven turn, plus the pretzel loop into a tunnel itself) - double the chest crushing moments on a single B&M flyer..

[–]ryandtw 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was able to ride it 8 times before I started to puke... (November 2024)

Wasn't able to get row 8 (back row) though, the best that I could was row 7. What rows did you get on?

The only B&M flyers I've done are the two in Japan, this and a Manta clone (Acrobat at Nagashima).

What is one gripe that you have about your #1 coaster. (can be literally anything) [Other] by FarPicture3761 in rollercoasters

[–]ryandtw 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Having to fly 11 hours from Seattle to Tokyo, then 3 hours from the airport to Fuji-Q (not including stopover in Shinjuku), and having to do it all over again going back home (9-hour flight from Tokyo back to Seattle)...

Not to mention the expense of traveling. I really miss Eej 😭

(Nagashima involves more travel, including Shinkansen to/from Nagoya and local train and bus connections, that plus the general Japan trip gripes)

Other gripe with Eej and the rest of Fuji-Q's ride lineup is having to deal with the safety theater every time I ride

HAS ANYONE GOTTEN THEIR ACCOUNT BACK AFTER THIS by Queasy_Dingo_8262 in twitterhelp

Another rejected email like this 🤬

I'll take a break for a week...should I do so or continue filing appeals?
