We had such a blast talking with our friend Airtime Myke! He has his hands in a bunch of difference creative coaster outlets, and we covered them all in our chat! We have a few trip recaps across the board, Myke talks Japan and his first true international travel experience, and we discuss Myke's YouTube origins, Coaster Cuzzies podcast, his pure love of freespins, and the start of the Blusiast coaster club.

Check Myke out all over the place!

Now that we've all been there, we can finally have our first park deep dive on Phantasialand! **Spoilers abound if you don't want to know a lot of Phantasialand details!**

We're joined by our good friend (and favorite British Canadian) Mikhile as we finish up a few Europe recap questions (Great Trip Recap Pt. 3-ish?), have another little trip recap, and then go into all the best parts about that bucket list German park, Phantasialand. Plus, find out why Allison wrote a note of "AKA no glasses and a random Dutch man" in her notes because she definitely doesn't remember why.

Make sure you check out Mikhile on the Chain Dogs Podcast! https://www.youtube.com/c/TheChainDogsPodcast

Phantasialand Deep Dive

The entire gang is back together again finally, with even more trip recaps! Bryant goes through his full Europe trip, including a stop at Energylandia and a long-awaited visit to the Coaster365 Zadra plaque. Plus he got an extra special surprise at Europa Park—Jenn! Jenn goes over her stops at Emerald Park and Schwaben Park, where she may have a new Talon at Dorney Park? We also answer so many listener questions about all of our European experiences and takes!

The Great Trip Recap!! Part Two

Bryant and Allison are both back from their big Europe trips, and there is so much to talk about!! (spoiler alert, Jenn surprised Bryant in Europe as well and she's still there, which is why this episode is only 2/3 of us.) They dive into Bryant's Colorado and Utah trip, Allison's full 10-parks-in-10-days Europe trip, and her NYC/NJ/east coast cred run trip. Oh, and her engagement?! 

Stay tuned, because Part Two will be Bryant's full Europe trip, and Jenn's surprise trip! 

The Great Trip Recap!! Part One

We were thrilled to talk to Mr. Richard Pretlow for the finale of our accessibility mini-series!

We're time traveling, and not just on the extreme spinner trains! This episode's deep dive is all about the good, the bad, and finding the balance in both in terms of train design aesthetics and ergonomics. We battle a lot of tech issues that we hopefully edited out well enough (also Allison's audio kinda sucks for some reason), Allison went on multiple trips recently and talks about those for awhile, Jenn has some thoughts about an unexpected train design, and  one listener (hi Alex!) wrote us a novel of a comment that none of us read in advance, naturally.

Train Design Deep Dive! Finding a Balance Between Rider Comfort and Visuals
