I've always wondered:
Do these signs on roller coasters mean that they don't want you to put your hands up?

Do you agree with us?
Riding an RMC is an ACTIVE experience - you can't just non-chalantly strap in & have a chill ride.

At one time in my life, I considered both Skyrush & El Toro to be my number one roller coaster.
El Toro held this coveted title for the longest time until Skyrush snatched the title.
Bottom line, both roller coasters were top notch attractions - at one point in time. Unfortunately, I feel like these rides have passed their glory days and are starting to fall from grace.
Today, I'm pitting Skyrush against El Toro in an epic Coaster Duel over on my YouTube channel - which coaster do you think will win?

We've all been in the super chaotic roller coaster station, with piles of people everywhere - assigned seating not only makes things more streamlined and effecient, but cuts down on that chaos.
Do you like when parks have assigned seating or not?

Just out of curiosity: what do you roller coaster riding plans look like for 2024?
Do you think you'll travel MORE than in the past? LESS? The same?

We would be so fascinated to find out whether park's revenues were actually UP after going completely cashless or DOWN - or not affected at all.
If you know how we could find out this information, please let us know!

Almost every single park we visited seemed to have gone completely CASHLESS by the end of 2023 - what do you think? Is this a good change or a bad one? Do you even carry cash anymore? (We don't!)

Back in June of 2023, SeaWorld San Diego opened their new roller coaster that unfortunately, kind of went unnoticed. No one was really talking about it and the ride was overshadowed by many other roller coasters that opened in 2023. This is such a shame because Arctic Rescue is one of the better family roller coasters in operation.
My FULL review of Arctic Rescue is up over on my YouTube channel - go check it out!

What do you think about companies moving more and more away from face-to-face interations and more into simply setting up a bunch of kiosks (to check in, to get your tickets, to print special passes, etc.)??

Our bottom line when going to amusement parks IN GENERAL: be respectful of the park's policies and the park employees. Don't try to take advantage of things, just because you think you can get away with it.

Just in case you're curious - I am still (slightly) salty over having missed out on this ride.

We're always blown away by the conversations we have with other families who go to amusement parks, but don't even know that a "parent swap" policy exists - so one of the parents just misses out on riding most of the "big" rides.
Do YOU know what parent swapping is?

We've had it on our list to create a YouTube video FOREVER about parent swapping - what is it, who is it for, and how does the policy differ between different chains and parks?
Well, we finally did it - the latest ERT episode is all about our experiences with using the PARENT SWAP at amusement parks!

Only one roller coaster has the rightful Number One position on our Top Ten list - and that's OBVIOUSLY Velocicoaster.
