roller coaster

My second stop on my week-long road trip was Cedar Point, America's Roller Coast, and what I call the coaster enthusiast's Holy Grail.  I visited this park way back in 1999, but so many roller coaster superlatives had been added since then, it would almost be like a brand-new park for me.  Join me for my first-time reactions to five new-to-me roller coasters at one of the best amusement parks in the world.

In June 2022, I embarked on my first week-long road trip to visit four bucket list parks and see how some of the most elite roller coasters in the United States compare to Florida's latest additions.  Join me for my reactions to the likes of Copperhead Strike, Afterburn, Intimidator, and my 100th roller coaster, Fury 325 on my first visit to Carowinds.

With the pandemic on the decline, many anticipated new rides finally opened in Florida, and I needed to escape the daily grind and ride some new roller coasters.  I made a trip to Orlando in fall 2021 to visit SeaWorld for the first time, and also returned to Universal to ride Velocicoaster and Hagrid's Magical Creatures Motorbike Adventure.   I also went back to Busch Gardens Tampa in spring of 2022, and finally rode Iron Gwazi. 

In this episode, I give you my in-depth reactions to all these new rides, and lay out my plan for the road trip I would undertake in the summer.

This episode documents the time when I was a seriously lazy coaster enthusiast.  From 2005 to 2014, I only made a handful of visits to my local Florida parks including Busch Gardens Tampa and Universal Orlando.  My brother and I went to Six Flags Great Adventure in 2014, and then four years later, we did a two-day roller coaster trip to Kings Dominion and Busch Gardens Williamsburg in 2018.  That trip got me back into following the amusement industry through podcasts and social media and would put me on the path to rekindling my coaster-riding flame and putting that road trip together.

Today, we explore one of the most infamous sections of the Appalachian Trail. Get ready for the ups and downs of Northern Virginia's Roller Coaster.

Welcome to the first episode of Coaster Redux.  My name is Erik and I'm a life-long roller coaster enthusiast, but up until lately, I've been kind of a lazy one.  Through high school and college in the late 90's and early 2000's, I was a full-on coaster nerd, then I entered the working world and went on a lengthy hiatus, only visiting parks every few years.  During the pandemic, I got back into following the theme park industry, and I'm about to head out on a week-long road trip to experience some of the most elite roller coasters in America.  This is going to be a different kind of roller coaster podcast.   It’s part trip report, part on-ride experience, part ride review, and all storytelling.  In this episode, I tell the story of how I became a roller coaster enthusiast to set the stage for that epic road trip.

On today's Kid Got Your Ticket Podcast we go talk about how a simple understanding of self defense can keep you and your family safe. How a natural reaction the human does is not allowed on roller coasters anymore. The media keeps saying there aren't enough vaccines but everyone is getting able to get them. Even not at risk young people. Will we need one to be part of society? 10,000 hours to be an expert at something. Even if you only need to be an expert for 22 minutes. Border is getting worse now than before. No difference. Is the magic of New York City Lost?
