Post your favorite lift hill shots

Lift hills are underrated in photos. They show the whole personality of a ride if you catch the angle right.

RMC is amazing but I dont want every wood coaster converted. Some parks need to preserve the weird old stuff.

I dont care about credit count as much anymore. I would rather reride the great stuff.

Dive coasters are fun but the layouts after the drop need more love. Some of them just wander back to the brakes.

Weather changes everything. A hot evening ride can make a mid coaster suddenly feel cracked. Also sorry but that take is wild.

The newer Vekoma stuff looks so clean. The old boomerang reputation is carrying way too much weight.

Magnum has more personality than a lot of glass smooth rides. I said what I said. I know folks wont like that but whatever.

Idk man, the rattle was not charming when I rode it. My shoulders were cooked after.

Quoting the last point: no, thats exactly the thoosie brain rot I mean. The first half matters more to me. If the coaster crawls into the brake run, I still remember the good parts.

I used to think this was a bad take, then I got a night ride and yeah okay I get it now.

S&S free spins are lottery rides. Sometimes hilarious, sometimes just awkward bouncing.

I think enthusiasts overuse the word forceless. Not every coaster is trying to be a blackout machine.

Mack rides feel expensive in the best way. Like the trains, profiling, audio, all of it feels finished.
