I know they get roasted but I have had some pretty fun rides on them. Depends on the flipping and the crew maybe.

Millennium Force is not an airtime machine and thats fine. Its about speed and scale, why is that bad?

The best coaster photos have people in the train reacting. Empty train shots feel kinda lifeless.

Steel Vengeance is great but the line and locker mess made me grumpy before I even sat down.

Photo approvals are a good idea tbh. Otherwise every page turns into blurry station pics.

Quoting the last point: no, thats exactly the thoosie brain rot I mean. That holding brake is still one of the best crowd pleasers in any park. People scream before anything even happens.

Front row for views, back row for drops. Middle row is for when the grouper hates you.

I still love boomerangs when they run decent. They are simple but the backwards part gets GP every time.

You guys confuse painful with intense. Those are not the same thing. Also sorry but that take is wild. I know folks wont like that but whatever.

A little roughness is fine. jackhammering is not personality, its just bad maintenance.

No way Magnum is better than most gigas. Its historically important but come on now.

People clown on clones but a good clone is better than a weird custom layout that does nothing.

Unpopular opinion but I would take a good family launch coaster over a rough looping coaster every day.
