I make videos about roller coasters on the internet, for some reason

🚨 New video! 🚨

Theme parks are great, but they're just not the same anymore

The joyful theme park experience of yesterday is a far cry from what we get today

And that demise all started with just a single idea - Disney's FastPass

Hoi hoi 👋

Next week, you can expect a new 24 minute long video all about switch tracks

It doesn't get more thrilling than this, people 😎

@PeedleJaydle Hey, I'm alive and kicking - don't worry! The last video I put out was 10 May, the next one will be mid-July.

I've gotten into the habit of making longer videos, which slows the upload schedule. The next one is 25 minutes!

I appreciate you checking it and thanks for watching 😁

@ThomasC_Designs Is Mystic Timbers still mid tho?

🚨 New video! 🚨

There's a wide range of roller coaster manufacturers in the theme park business

But, not all coaster manufacturers are built equal

We break down who they are and what they actually do

Yes, I am not dead - hurray! 🥳

Yes, I'm aware it's been nine months since I last uploaded.

And yes, I'm debuting a new video this Friday at 6pm UK time! 🍾

I promise 2026 won't be as content-bare as 2025 was...

p.s. vote coasters is coming 🗳️

Mine cart madness at is a one of a kind roller coaster 🐒

Well, two of a kind if we're being fussy 🤷‍♂️

The fake track gimmick is cool, but does it actually work? 🤔

@james_davis20 @airtimetraveler I'd agree with that, definitely.

[coaster bot @coasterbot]

@james_davis20 @airtimetraveler I think collecting data to inform the curve makes sense.

It's a question of value at the end of the day. How many times better is #1 compared to #100, or even #10 compared to #200.

Realistically the best coaster isn't 10 times better than the 100th coaster

[coaster bot @coasterbot]

@airtimetraveler @james_davis20 I'd definitely be interesting in seeing a worldwide version!

[coaster bot @coasterbot]

@james_davis20 @airtimetraveler I agree - it's a good system to have

How did you calculate it? Are there certain scores that pin the curve of best fit?

[coaster bot @coasterbot]

@EthanAfro Hey, I'd love to make some more operations videos to be honest! The hard part is getting the data.

Maybe once Epic Universe is up and running I'll put out a request for people to collect data, and see if I can make a video from that?

[coaster bot @coasterbot]

Hello internet 👋

I am alive, despite the lack of videos

I'll be posting a video about this very funky ride, Mine Cart Madness, on Sunday 🤯

Videos should be more regular again after that 😌

[coaster bot @coasterbot]

@james_davis20 @airtimetraveler This is cool, how did you decide on the decaying score line?

[coaster bot @coasterbot]

@airtimetraveler This is very cool - I did some similar analysis a few years ago. It's no surprise CP comes out on top.

I wonder how changing your scoring method impacts the results. There are a lot of quality rides in the 200 to 300 rank bracket that aren't really contributing to park's scores.
