All 5 hosts are on the podcast this week for the first time ever, plus we have our resident mountain coasters expert Jacob back with us for this chaotic deep dive! We discuss whether or not we consider mountain coasters to be creds (spoiler alert: we all do), what are some of our favorites, Jenn's first (and only) mountain coaster experience, why Nate is now the Cat Distribution System itself, and more!

A BIG shoutout to our Patreon subscribers! Much love to Chris, Jeff, Alexander, Barbora, Nick, Chad, and Adam for the support! Check out https://www.patreon.com/c/InvertedCreative if you want to learn more!

Introducing the Inverted Creative Awards! Honoring Creativity Across the Industry

We're lucky to have friends who work in the industry—like Jacob, who works as a Site Design Engineer for Anakeesta in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee. Jacob’s role involves planning outdoor areas for flow and infrastructure, helping design how rides fit into the park, and working collaboratively to design new attractions with theming, aesthetics, and architecture. We have a lot of great conversation about Anakeesta and how the park blends with the surrounding environment!

Another Round of the RCDB Game! (Because We Needed an Episode on the Fly)

We've been holding onto this one until a day we needed it...and today we needed it! Allison sat down for a Conversations episode with someone she kinda knows just a little bit - her husband Mike (or Mullet). We get into how family trips influenced his love of coasters, his MASSIVE collection of nanocoasters and coaster cutouts, some of our European adventures, why we visit so many fast food spots internationally, and more!

Allison and Brambo met through Buzzed Bars, but it wasn't until a weekend trip to Virginia to visit his home parks that they truly became friends. Brambo has a coaster photo Instagram that is mostly focused on story highlights of his trips, with some cool cinematic moments! They talk about the recent Buzzed Bars Birthday Bash, some of their personal BGW experiences and Pantheon takes, a few of their recent trips, weird city names, and much more!

We had so much fun with the RCDB Game that we decided to try a new variation that Allison dubbed "I Spy"! And this one got INTENSE. Play along with us on one of the categories and see if you beat us! We will definitely be playing this again, so if you have some creative ideas for categories, let us know!

Playing Another Round of the RCDB Game!!

A few of us booked a trip to Atlanta for Arie Force closing weekend (before the Kumba closing announcement, otherwise we probably would have been there!), and it was quite an interesting experience. We talk about the mood that day, the closing speeches, some of the creative aspects of the ride, what the future might hold, and a lot more. Also, a quick Alabama Adventure recap from Allison and Mike!

Recapping Our Experience at Arie Force One Closing Weekend

Longtime friend Meg is involved in the coaster community, but has long said she's not a thoosie—meaning, she doesn't really know manufacturers or stats, but she loves the rides and the friends made along the way! We chat about a lot, including our history with Buzzed Bars, some of the favorite places we've been to together, quizzing some of her limited park knowledge, and of course her horror movie podcast!

Matt is one of Allison's local friends, who we met through one of our crazy weekend trips years ago and haven't looked back since! Matt has an engineering background, which influences his love of the hobby and his creative views of coasters. We talk about that, some of our past trips, our shared appreciation for the social side of Buzzed Bars, and more!
