kentucky kingdom

So....listen.....

Life is hard, to the point that having fun itself seems impossible sometimes.  Join us on a trip to Kentucky Kingdom on an attempt to wring a little joy out of life in the midst of tragedy.

Andrea didn't love the park, a rare event for her, and Chris's dad was dying of cancer, so his 'wheeeee's' on rollercoasters were less than enthusiastic.  

But baby, them's the breaks, and these are Them There Thrills!

This week on the Coaster101 podcast, we're joined by Jefferson Richardson of Kentucky Kingdom and Chris Foshee of Worlds of Fun, two of the most prolific theme park tweeters in the game. Learn more about how they got their starts in the industry, what goes through their mind when creating content like the world's first Strata Waterslide or a video completely comprised of Stock Video footage to sell a theme park, and their upcoming (we think?) rap album.

This week Andrew and Eric are joined by Coaster101 founder John Stevenson. While our normal hosts have been stuck in lockdown and haven't been to any parks this summer, John's been to a bunch! So he's joining us to recap his visits to Dollywood, Kings Island, Kentucky Kingdom, and Six Flags St. Louis. We get some comparison of the parks safety procedures and crowds, and get into some ride talk (so it's not all bad).

Tell us about your park experiences this summer! Have you caught a mask in the face like John did? Email podcast@coaster101.com, or find us on social media @Coaster101.
