Well we addressed the elephant and donkey in the room....which coaster represents each candidate and who wins the coaster battle. This episode is ridiculous but nothing like getting you in the voting spirit than a crazy coaster battle!

Six flags loses how many people!?! We lament our missing invites to some coaster events. and finally we address the elephant and donkey in the room when we line up Trump and Biden in an all out coaster war.

Wrapping up a great Florida trip with the family and just reflecting on how awesome it is to share the things you love with your kiddos. Walt Disney World truly was more magical getting to experience it through their eyes.

Got to admit that Vekoma sort of crushed this one.....looks awesome!

F.L.Y. is just beautiful 😍 We still can't believe opened such a big expansion again, Rookburgh is next level 😱
The top speed of F.L.Y. is around 85 km/h (53 mph) and it is the longest flying coaster in the world! Fun fact; they had to lower down the launch speed in order to not make F.L.Y. too intense! There are 4 queue lines in the station; 1 for front row, 1 for single riders, 1 for priority pass and the normal line. Every rider receives wristband that belongs to a locker where you have to store everything before you board F.L.Y. The coaches are all motorized and rotates you into the flying position while riding, really unique experience and so smooth!
We can't wait to visit Rookburgh again! Did you ride it yet? 😁😏🎢

On this episode we get a quick trip report from Chris in his adventures to Dollywood, we talk about the worst things we've purchased in a park and sit down with Josh the creator of Made to Thrill a lifestyle brand for people that love theme parks.
