urfavoritecoastersux: I'm Zach and I'm getting high right now.
Ben: I'm Ben and I, uh, I might too. I'll see how long I can make it.
urfavoritecoastersux: I think you should.
Ben: The only problem though, is like, I've just, if I do that without drinking, it's, I talk slower and I think slower.
Ben: Although if most people listen to this show on 2x, then maybe it's okay.
urfavoritecoastersux: Yeah, it'll sound just fine.
Ben: Or 2 .5x.
urfavoritecoastersux: I mean, this show is already at a slow pace anyway, so it'll just encourage people to listen at a faster speed.
Ben: Yeah.
Ben: yeah Yeah. Yeah. I did start doing that with a lot of podcasts, other podcasts I listened to, and it actually is kind of nice. Um, especially like driving, although I've noticed I'd then drive faster. So it's not always safe, but you know,
urfavoritecoastersux: yeah i i could see that kind of having that effect there's like the music's getting faster that's the thing that always gets me is when they get into like anything with a music segment it always sounds so funny
Ben: Yeah. See, I think instead of a speed up, they should just do like, uh, like if there is a way in post production to take out pauses or to reduce pauses, cause that's, I feel like that's generally the biggest problem with podcasting is like editing out pot, editing out pauses sucks. And then like,
Ben: Although I guess sometimes you lose out on like the, if there's any comedic effect pause, but I don't know.
urfavoritecoastersux: Yeah, um I mean, I feel like it's been four and a half years we've been doing this show. And we've kind of gotten the timing down a little bit better, I think.
Ben: Yeah. Yeah. The keys just fill it. Like if I consciously think about Talking and I make sure I just like just keep shit flying out of your mouth basically It's the key
urfavoritecoastersux: Yeah, and that's pretty easy for my ass to do because I can just fucking talk and talk and talk and talk. I don't know if you've ever heard me while you've stepped away, but I try my best to fill the time.
Ben: Every time I try to do that, I make it like 30 seconds and I'm just like, uh, okay, I'll pause.
urfavoritecoastersux: Yeah, I feel like that's normally what I do, too, is like I'm like, all right, so here's this and bla blah, blah, blah. OK, but then I feel like there's been at least one time I've managed to like cover the entire time.
Ben: Yeah.
urfavoritecoastersux: I don't know. Of course, that's the moment we both pause.
Ben: Yep.
urfavoritecoastersux: um Welcome back. This is your favorite coaster sucks. We're in all. Roller coaster podcast. We talk about roller coasters and laugh about the people who complain about them online.
Ben: Yep. And, uh, well, I, have you noticed, so I've always been kind of interested in like the Fousey community.
urfavoritecoastersux: And we are them, too, so.
Ben: Um, one thing I noticed, and I don't know if is this is just a product of like YouTube changing or maybe my algorithm is changing, but I have not seen a whole lot of coverage of Hollywood nights like I typically do.
urfavoritecoastersux: No, I think they've finally made that event so exclusive that, you know, you're only going to see an occasional picture here or there of it.
Ben: Yeah, which I get but like considering the amount of photos I saw of people with cameras and taking videos and stuff like I compared to like last ah compared to last year at least like I feel like no one is talking about it. Like it what wasn't even, it was barely even on Reddit.
urfavoritecoastersux: maybe
Ben: Like I feel like I'm not seeing it. Like in general, I just, it seems like the whole Fousey YouTuber thing is like starting to scale back.
urfavoritecoastersux: well i mean okay first of all i was gonna say maybe it's like a return to the old school and then around to that second point you made yeah theme park youtube i think is like it's now on a downward trajectory in terms of the amount of creators just because of how limited the ability how limited not the ability is but how limited
Ben: Yeah.
Ben: Well, I also wonder, yeah,
urfavoritecoastersux: the actual amount of money is going around that space because it's not like it's not like there's an infinite money glitch with YouTube there's there's a pretty specific amount that set advertisers are willing to play pay on big channels
Ben: I mean, right.
urfavoritecoastersux: or channels that get the the targeted demographic views that they are looking for. But other than that, yeah, it's, it's, it's a not really ah that big of a pool of money, unless your name is fucking, you know, Logan Paul or Joe Rogan or you know,
Ben: Yeah.
Ben: Yeah. Well, I was going to say too, like it also seems like there is that big uptick in new creators after COVID and then a bunch of people move to Orlando. And now it seems like that entire movement is like, this so I mean, like I get it. If after like a year or two, you're like, I'm not making any money. Like what am I doing? um
urfavoritecoastersux: well you know what here's the thing if that's all you got into it for fucking good riddance
Ben: Well, that's that's just it. like i was i was The reason I've noticed this whole change and is because the channels that I like, that I find like really fun and like put out good shit is they're still making videos, but they're not putting out... They're channels that never put out daily videos, but like every everyone you know every couple weeks or whatever. But like those channels where it was just like two videos a day are, I can't find a lot of content on those. Like, I mean, I'm at like during COVID, like those Orlando channels where it's just like a daily 30 minute video of like testing footage from outside the park through a fence kind of stuff. Like, I don't know.
urfavoritecoastersux: Yeah, I mean I Think yeah, it's like there This is this yeah, there's only so much money to be made And once that shit dried up then the people that don't actually have their heart in the shit or a real passion for it just because I Because like I don't want anybody to hear this and think that like I have some aversion to people making money off of theme park content. I don't. You go do you good on you if you can make some money doing this. You know, but. I don't think any time if people's goal was just explicitly to make money, I don't think that they are the ones that will be successful.
Ben: Oh yeah.
urfavoritecoastersux: And I don't think they'll ever be the ones that have the type of content that is sustainably entertaining or attractive to an ah ah either a loyal audience or a big enough audience with turnover.
Ben: Yeah. Yeah, exactly.
Ben: Um, yeah, that's another, and I'll, I'll admit that's probably just something that I, I, I'm not in the, I'm not in the end generation.
urfavoritecoastersux: And fucking theme park TikTok is just some whole other shit.
Ben: So I think I just missed it, but yeah, like one
urfavoritecoastersux: Yeah, I don't understand TikTok and I don't claim to, but I know that a lot of creators on YouTube discuss that TikTok makes it very hard to grow a brand as a creator.
Ben: Yeah.
urfavoritecoastersux: Like it's easier to make viral content, but it doesn't necessarily help grow a brand.
Ben: Yeah. That makes sense.
urfavoritecoastersux: Because you don't really remember creators when you're only watching maximum like 30 second videos, you know.
Ben: Um.
Ben: Yeah. Like, um, Also, one thing I hate about either YouTube shorts or TikToks is this, i this trend of like posting a POV, but only the first 60 seconds from like the station. So like you want, you click on, so you like see something and it's like station dispatch, dispatch up the lift Hill. Then right as you're getting to the top of the lift Hill, the clip ends. And I don't know if it's just some weird, like if the joke is on me for clicking on it, like if it's just some weird, like manipulative clickbait shit, or if it's genuinely people that are just lazy and clipping their POVs, you know, too short. I don't know.
urfavoritecoastersux: no it's probably a way to make money get extra views write three times the views
Ben: Yeah. Or right. it's Or it's like, Oh, well I could splice up the POV into three separate clips and there's three clips that I can put on versus just one. Yeah.
Ben: Yeah. Speaking of viewership. I, I, have you ever, have you heard about the acolyte, the news Disney star Wars short series thing on Disney plus?
urfavoritecoastersux: yeah kind of peripherally.
Ben: ah Well, obviously a lot of the, uh, right wing echo chambers are saying like, you know, typical, Oh, it's woke and this and that, whatever. That's not my bone to pick with it. I just found it incredibly boring. And like, it just feels like Disney's churning out so much generic shitty content that like it's becoming very exhausting.
urfavoritecoastersux: i mean i haven't really seen any star wars content since episode one came out i get it that's on me uh... and now i feel like kind of the same way i feel with marvel where i'm like there's so much of it that i'm just like i i don't even why even start at this point
Ben: yeah oh yeah exactly yeah yeah I saw what the hell was it last year Guardians of the Galaxy 2 I think and that was that was that was really bad um Well also, what actually made the video, what actually made the movie the more entertaining was the fact that the sound kept cutting out and the audience was getting so pissed that that was actually the funniest part about it. And then like the amount of people that complained upfront after the movie was done was pretty, was very amusing.
Ben: um
urfavoritecoastersux: You know what? I actually wanted to talk with you about a movie I watched recently.
Ben: What's that?
urfavoritecoastersux: Um, a delightful upbeat little comedy by the name of Civil War.
Ben: Oh yeah, I saw that movie.
urfavoritecoastersux: Yeah, little lighthearted fun movie for a Sunday afternoon.
Ben: Yeah. I like, I like i liked it.
urfavoritecoastersux: meet you Me too, me too. I thought it was crazy because I always like to look up movies on YouTube after I watch them to see what other people think of them.
Ben: Yeah. Oh, for sure.
urfavoritecoastersux: And the general consensus among a lot of people seem to be that like.
urfavoritecoastersux: Oh, they didn't show how the war started, and it's like, oh, you're missing the point of that movie completely.
Ben: Yeah, exactly. Well, also too, like it, exactly. It's not, that wasn't the point of it. And it's important. They didn't do that because it didn't alienate any audience. Cause like, that's why, that's why they had the whole like kind of unrealistic situation of like Texas and California together in a the Western Alliance or whatever, because it's like,
urfavoritecoastersux: yeah and like and nobody nobody know the characters that they like came across along the way had like clear motives other than like kill the other guy there was no like oh we believe in this so that was even more a demonstrative of like unimportant how the fuck it started
Ben: Yeah, right.
Ben: Yeah, I mean, in my only complaint about it was that the very last scene or last couple of scenes were ah little unrealistic with like with them like chasing the like military into the White House it seemed to yeah well I mean it's a civil war I mean people are gonna charge the White House eventually
urfavoritecoastersux: Ah, spoilers. Yeah, doesn't matter.
Ben: um Anyway, yeah, I thought it was good, though, overall. ah What was funny is we saw that movie when we were in Duluth and in like very typical kind of Wisconsin, Minnesota um response to anything that's like just i well I can't call the movie art, but you know what I mean? Any kind of creative.
urfavoritecoastersux: Well, it is provocative, certainly.
Ben: Yeah. It was like two guys just like at the urinal. Huh, I was different. And like, that was it. And then they washed their hands and left the bathroom and.
urfavoritecoastersux: That's the takeaway.
Ben: So.
urfavoritecoastersux: That that's pretty funny. Yeah, I enjoyed it. um I kind of want to see if they release like a director's cut.
Ben: Yeah, let's.
urfavoritecoastersux: Because I feel like there is more stuff that they probably shot that would be interesting to see.
Ben: Mm hmm. I'm also interested if there was any like if this was the intent the entire intended storyline or if they had to change it or. um Because it is a pretty wild like concept of you know, US s civil war, especially this time a year, or this time in our existence with everything going on.
urfavoritecoastersux: and yeah yeah I thought it was good enjoyed it quite a bit would recommend it also watched a what the fuck is that give me a sec here it's a Australian movie where there's like there's summoning ghosts or spirits.
Ben: Um, not sure.
urfavoritecoastersux: I'll let you in. Talk to me. Yeah, there you go. Talk to me.
Ben: Talk to me.
Ben: I haven't seen that one yet.
urfavoritecoastersux: This is pretty good.
urfavoritecoastersux: It was an interesting new take on the old Ouija board concept.
Ben: Okay. Yeah.
Ben: Yeah, that was one of those that was playing at Alamo here. um
Ben: That was one I miss. I've been, typically we've been seeing like, I mean, we see like one or two a week lately. In fact, I've seen so many movies now lately that when we did the Guess the Oscars party, I got like 17 of the 24, right?
urfavoritecoastersux: Wow, look at you.
Ben: And I remember like before, before we started dating, I was like, I always said, I'm like, I literally have been in a movie theater three times in the last 10 years. So I think that was one of the three actually, but yeah.
urfavoritecoastersux: Well, to be fair, the last time I saw a movie in theaters was a Jackass 4.
urfavoritecoastersux: Because of course, to me, that's a theater movie, or a theater movie -worthy movie.
Ben: Oh, for sure. Yeah. I remember number two was very like optimized for the theater. They did a lot of um like big screen kind of bits. That was actually the first one I saw in theaters. That was really funny.
urfavoritecoastersux: Man, I fucking love jackass. I was watching a video earlier where Dave England was telling a story about how they were riding to a filming at some point and Steve -O ended up ripping this shit out of some Teamsters van.
Ben: oh Yeah Yeah, and actually that was Did I ever show you that it was like the steve -o don't try this out to don't try this at home tour DVD?
urfavoritecoastersux: And they had to pay for the van.
urfavoritecoastersux: no
Ben: Okay, I bought this DVD back in like 2004 and it was his like second tour or Or maybe it was like the first tour. Like he used to just tour to like college bars and stuff and just do stunts on stage. Um, like the year after Jackass, the movie came out basically.
urfavoritecoastersux: who
Ben: And then it was a tour DVD and it was just like the craziest shit. It was like all the footage of him, like destroying his apartment and building the skate ramp and pissing off his neighbors and stuff like that.
urfavoritecoastersux: i so I seen him doing that one where he builds the fucking skate ramp in his apartment.
Ben: Yeah.
urfavoritecoastersux: And that one where he just like fucking he goes off of a table and through like a wall of his apartment.
Ben: And they.
Ben: Yeah.
urfavoritecoastersux: It's like it's like, oh, you're not getting the security deposit back now.
Ben: I suppose that's the problem with like. Yeah, because I guess the story was that he. rented like five apartments in that building. So instead of just like buying a house, he just rented like five apartments in a building. And then there was like all these different ones. They had like each of like different purposes. Like one was like a sleeping one. One was for, um like people who worked for his company, I guess, like editing video and stuff. And like one was a skate park. One was like where they did all the drugs.
urfavoritecoastersux: that's ridiculous I mean that is a solution not necessarily the most um logical one but
Ben: That's a good way to. I just think it's funny, like most people when they get like insanely rich overnight, they would just like buy an insane house. But like he's like, no, I'll just rent five apartments.
Ben: yeah
urfavoritecoastersux: Hey, hell, whatever.
Ben: Yeah.
urfavoritecoastersux: He was fucked up like all hell.
Ben: yeah
Ben: What was it?
urfavoritecoastersux: Hey, I got to run to the restroom real quick.
urfavoritecoastersux: I got to run to the restroom real quick.
Ben: Okay.
urfavoritecoastersux: Do you want me to pause it?
Ben: Uh, yeah, sure.
urfavoritecoastersux: All right, I'll be back in a moment.
Ben: All right.
urfavoritecoastersux: Fucking Steve, oh.
Ben: Speaking of, uh, content generation, he has a podcast to figure is he's probably an interesting person for a podcast, but it seems like there's always drama with him in podcasting.
urfavoritecoastersux: Yeah. I mean.
Ben: There was one, and there was one random review that was basically saying he's like, that the BAM, the whole like BAM Margera thing and like his rehab story, that he's basically like trying to find ways to monetize it or bring attention to his channel.
urfavoritecoastersux: I could see that.
Ben: Kind of the old put in a, you know, the key word accident in your video after a unfortunate drop tower incident.
urfavoritecoastersux: yep that's the move but at the same time he mean it's hard to say though because it's not like he doesn't seem to legitimately be concerned about his friend you know
Ben: Yeah.
Ben: Yeah, but that's the thing that's a problem with like, um the in internet.
urfavoritecoastersux: But yeah, it's a tough read.
Ben: What was it?
urfavoritecoastersux: It's tough to read that situation.
Ben: Well, yeah, because the problem, I think there's a general problem of just the internet, when you become when you monetize it is like,
Ben: I don't know. I think about like all those YouTube podcast, you know, like the whole like YouTube comedian podcast, like universe.
urfavoritecoastersux: Yeah.
Ben: And it's like two bears, one cave. And then it's like all the random podcasts that Burton and then it's like,
Ben: The Tony Hinchcliffe group. There's like this whole like podcast universe that exists.
Ben: Where they're like all friends on camera and in podcasts, but like it's clearly a business. So it's like you're being sold. These people are like friends, but it's all just like a show, you know?
urfavoritecoastersux: Yeah, but I think that's the entertainment industry, isn't it?
Ben: Yeah, that's true.
Ben: That's true. But I guess like the the internet does that to people. So like even, I mean, like here's like, how many, like what percentage of channels do you think still like, okay, how many channels who had footage of the ride before the accident also put accident keywords in their videos that we just didn't notice?
Ben: Like it seems like it's just the problem of like being in the internet for money is like, it causes you to do things that you justify like, well, I need to put food on the table.
urfavoritecoastersux: that's what i'm saying
urfavoritecoastersux: But the thing is it's not really it's not on the individual actor then it's kind of just the broken system at large Because as much as you can point to any individual actor in that situation You can also point to saying like why would that what leads to that?
Ben: Right.
Ben: Yeah, right.
urfavoritecoastersux: but yeah yep yep but that's um you know how it goes
Ben: And that's the shit to come full circle that when you see it in the theme park industry, then in a hobby that you really like, it's kind of like, ah, come on, this is exhausting.
urfavoritecoastersux: because unfortunately people figured out that there was some money to be made doing this shit. And that's all it takes.
Ben: Yeah.
Ben: I think whenever the defense is. Like whenever the defense of the actions of somebody in that entertainment space is. Yeah, well, they need to make a living. And if that's the response to doing like shady shit, then you know. That's not good.
Ben: Can you hear that thunder?
urfavoritecoastersux: now no listen up for the Thunder was no imagine dragon said imagine me dragging the okay I'm
Ben: It might show up if you're... We'll see. Listen to a very to it very loudly.
Ben: ah I don't know.
urfavoritecoastersux: Disney World set a opening date for the country country bear musical jamboree.
Ben: So this was being renovated.
urfavoritecoastersux: Yeah, apparently one of the characters is super offensive.
Ben: Okay.
Ben: oh Oh, yeah. Shocker.
urfavoritecoastersux: Yeah, who would have thought that the name liver lips was a slur? And that was the name of one of the characters.
Ben: Well, what if they brought back alien encounter, but instead of an alien that like comes back and like starts walking around you and breathing on your neck, it's like just some political figure everybody hates.
urfavoritecoastersux: Because of course it was.
Ben: And then he's like talking in your ear.
urfavoritecoastersux: Who is a political figure that universally is hated?
Ben: I can't think of one on the top of my head.
urfavoritecoastersux: Yeah, that that might be difficult.
urfavoritecoastersux: But ah it could work.
urfavoritecoastersux: I can't believe I just full on like Rick Sanchez worked.
Ben: Or can we COVID? We COVID, that would even, it's some, they accidentally bring somebody back that has COVID and then like the glass breaks and then that's what it needs to be. Like in 10 years when everybody thinks COVID, yeah, yeah.
urfavoritecoastersux: covid encounter well when like gen alpha
Ben: Like in 10 years when everybody thinks COVID is like a joke or I guess, no, 20 years, 21 years, whatever they say. um When it's like funny. And then it's just like, yeah, it's the same ride set up and everything. It's just that like they released the cylinder breaks and it's like, Oh no, we've released COVID. Was it a lab leak? And then you're like, you know, the restraint comes down and then it's like, you know, the the hot breath and like the, cough it's like somebody coughing and that sprays water on your face.
Ben: It's Karen. She's unmasked. She's about to talk about QAnon conspiracy theories.
urfavoritecoastersux: Yeah, they re themed the whole thing to an airplane. And then so you just hear like. a
Ben: Yeah, it's like a woman that's like in the cylinder. She's like wearing a MAGA mask and then like takes it off and starts coughing.
urfavoritecoastersux: And it's just like to do to do. Yeah, COVID encounter. When when Generation ah Alpha, um when they're making jokes about covid the way that um fucking Gen Z jokes about 9 -11.
Ben: Yeah.
urfavoritecoastersux: That's when we know it's time.
Ben: Mm hmm. That rides on God.
urfavoritecoastersux: No cap.
Ben: My Riz is up.
urfavoritecoastersux: Skibbity toilet, Ohio Can we just ruin every bit of youth slang right now and Let me just let me just say I'm a 35 year old man.
Ben: i couldn ski
Ben: I mean, yeah, I have to say though, remember like when people in their thirties talked about, I mean, did we even really have youth slang though?
urfavoritecoastersux: oh
urfavoritecoastersux: I
Ben: Like when was our, when was the millennial youth slang peak? Was it, was it in like the early two thousands when people got phones and it was like all texting slang? That's probably it, right?
urfavoritecoastersux: ah That's probably the closest I could think of but other than that, yeah, I don't know um Trying to think here um kind of draw a blank though I Feel like we kind of just normalized what was previously slang I
Ben: Yeah, I mean, I can't mean like millennials didn't really have slang in like the 2010s. Yeah.
urfavoritecoastersux: Like, like the word yo. That's just so commonplace now, you know.
Ben: Mm hmm.
urfavoritecoastersux: and Like, like basically now, yo, what's good? That's just like a very standard and formal greeting.
Ben: Yeah, that's true.
Ben: I mean, I'm trying to remember though, if there were moments, cause what the Gen Z slang thing or Gen Alpha slang, whatever you want to call it is like. People are like, people in their 30s now are like, I don't get it. And I don't understand the context. It's like, I don't know. It takes like a minute. You like look it up and look at what he means. And you hear a couple of people say, and it's like, okay. like But like, remember trying to talk to somebody who is an adult who is not phone literate?
Ben: about like acronyms. They acted like acronyms were like the most challenging thing to comprehend into decipher.
urfavoritecoastersux: che t y l
Ben: I don't know what any of this means. Just text normal.
urfavoritecoastersux: TTYL I remember my dad was like the opposite of that
Ben: Oh, overdid it.
urfavoritecoastersux: Yeah, yeah. Well, because, you know, he like worked in like I .T. and shit, so he'd be like. He'd be like, apparently, but he'd be like reading these articles from like fucking tech people his age.
Ben: yeah
urfavoritecoastersux: So he'd be like, yeah, you know, like. The the slang now is that young people spell cool K .E .W .L.
Ben: Yeah.
urfavoritecoastersux: and It's like, all right. and
Ben: Remember like phone commercials that would make fun of like overused acronyms, like everything was an acronym.
Ben: Like, bow body.
urfavoritecoastersux: What's the first B stand for? Business?
Ben: Business.
urfavoritecoastersux: Yeah, I, am ah that but um...
Ben: Yeah.
urfavoritecoastersux: What was it, like, OMG, my BFF, Jillian?
Ben: Oh, right. we're Right.
urfavoritecoastersux: I think that's kinda like millennial slang.
Ben: Yeah.
urfavoritecoastersux: It's like dumb shit from like commercials or songs that like caught on.
Ben: Yeah. ah Well, it's because every pretty much everyone, every millennial across the country was watching the same shit.
urfavoritecoastersux: Are you jellin'?
Ben: It was.
urfavoritecoastersux: That's a millennial fuckin'.
Ben: Yeah. And then like, yeah, you went to school on Monday and you like were on the bus or whatever, and you'd be like talking about the commercial and then people would be imitating it.
urfavoritecoastersux: Jell -in like a felon.
urfavoritecoastersux: Yeah, millennials had that that was millennial shit.
Ben: Yeah. Like, yeah.
urfavoritecoastersux: I don't know if it was slang so much, it's just like. Fucking memes.
urfavoritecoastersux: Yeah.
urfavoritecoastersux: Isn't it weird to be a millennial?
Ben: I feel like it's probably one of the better ones at the end of the day when you even things out What's they yeah, I feel like Gen X is like
urfavoritecoastersux: I like how Gen X just is quietly sitting there doing nothing.
Ben: They were fine. Like they didn't really have, like they were able, they were, they became adults quick enough before all the shit hit the fan.
urfavoritecoastersux: Fucking assholes.
urfavoritecoastersux: They're like, yeah, we. We got, you know, REM and the gin blossoms and the falling of the wall.
Ben: I feel like the rollercoaster scene is probably the best for Gen X. Like if you think about like the wild shit that opened in the early 90s.
urfavoritecoastersux: Yeah, like the mid 80s all the way through to the early 2000s.
Ben: Yeah.
Ben: That era of like seeing ah a crazy like prototype ride and like you only know you only see like a picture of it and you get to the park when it opens, you have no idea how the ride runs.
urfavoritecoastersux: Yeah, I or you like see a news report and you're like, holy shit.
Ben: Yeah.
urfavoritecoastersux: Oh, to have been a Genexer at that time.
Ben: Speaking of, um speaking of old people, I was thinking about this the other day. um Have you ever, have you ever driven an electric vehicle or an EV as the kids say?
urfavoritecoastersux: No.
Ben: So it's like really odd because it's, it's like silent and there's no like vibrations. There's no, Like it's it's kind of hard to explain. Like there's just nothing. It's really, it's really weird. Like you don't feel like you're really in a car. Um, and so because of that, you don't really feel acceleration. Like you could floor it and suddenly you're going like 90 miles an hour. It doesn't, like there's zero vibration or noise. Um, like imagine, like imagine elderly people, right?
Ben: who get an EV and in their mind it's like oh like these are electric vehicles they don't have they have like no power they've got like no kick you know like it would be like a golf cart and they think they're just getting into this like a little car but they'd like floor it and then they don't even realize they're going like 150
urfavoritecoastersux: Yeah, they're like, like, oh, what was that? Must be a speed bump.
urfavoritecoastersux: Imagine one of those the first time there's one of those old people accidents where they're like, I thought the gas was debris and they go into a business.
Ben: Yeah. Well, I was singing like I was, yeah, I mean, you could probably, there was maybe a joke there.
urfavoritecoastersux: Just keeps going.
Ben: Suddenly they're zooming down the road at a hundred miles an hour straight through a wall.
urfavoritecoastersux: Yeah, oh, Jesus Christ. I'm just picturing like. A 93 year old dude in Florida.
urfavoritecoastersux: I got one of these new EVs.
Ben: It's a woke car. It has no power to it.
urfavoritecoastersux: Yeah. and And they're like, would you like to test it out?
Ben: um Lucids were supposed to be kind of like an old person car. Old people with money was like their literal target demographic.
urfavoritecoastersux: I mean, that's a pretty good target demo.
urfavoritecoastersux: If we didn't already stake our um claim on being egregious assholes, I'd say let's rebrand and focus on old people with money.
Ben: Yeah. What about a coaster podcast that is, uh, targeted to boomers?
urfavoritecoastersux: how How so?
Ben: I don't, I don't know, but that would be a funny way to do it. And then you can have like need ups and stuff.
urfavoritecoastersux: It starts off with a guitar solo.
Ben: It'd be fun.
Ben: Yep. And then, uh, boomers just don't like EVs.
urfavoritecoastersux: Like no, no EVs here, just solid rock.
Ben: It's funny. I just,
urfavoritecoastersux: Give me a 64 Hemi any day.
Ben: this is I love, there's this dark part of, there's this really dark part of Facebook that I still, cause I don't use Facebook, but I still am like an observer because there's all these people that I follow that I've been following for probably like 15 years plus, you know, like it's like random people I went to school with and then like, Sometimes their parents or it's like coworkers or like coworkers of coworkers type of thing from like years. And so somebody forgot existed suddenly like post something. And it's like, it's like, uh, talking about how, I don't know, solar farms are causing global warming or something. And it's just like, ah it's so out of nowhere. It's just funny.
urfavoritecoastersux: I mean, 5G caused COVID, so.
Ben: Yeah. Oh, if yeah, for sure. And then like random QAnon things. um It's amusing. Sad, but amusing.
urfavoritecoastersux: I think that's just like, you know,
urfavoritecoastersux: the curse of the small town.
Ben: With the problem of the internet,
urfavoritecoastersux: Yeah, yeah, yeah, because you can find quote unquote supporting evidence for whatever you believe in now.
Ben: Yeah, I mean literally that's the problem is like literally any viewpoint you have, there's an endless stream of content available.
urfavoritecoastersux: Yeah, it's like I'm a doctor and the thing you just said is totally true Like you could just like come up with any dumb shit now and you can get a whole fucking internet subculture around you like Pickles don't have salt Don't believe me fucking prove it
Ben: but
Ben: Orion is a giga.
urfavoritecoastersux: we found We found a third generation pickle maker.
urfavoritecoastersux: Says who? I won't believe it until they bust out the tape measure.
Ben: It would be like, um, it'd be like that. Did you ever see that flat earth documentary about the people who believe in flat earth and they're like doing these experiments.
urfavoritecoastersux: No.
Ben: And then in their last experiment, they basically proved that the earth was round.
Ben: So is it's a I don't want to like butcher the clip. Basically, they so they were floated like three boats on a lake. and they were like And then they had lasers. And they were like, OK, so um you know they got out on the boats. They turned the lasers. and um
Ben: They aim it at the at these targets and then like they're on the boats and like, Hey, I don't see the laser. Yeah. Are you sure sure it's on? Yeah, it's on. Oh, okay. Um, here, try lowering it. And then they'd be like, if, uh, According to like how far the boats are away, if the laser is ah three feet above the target, they will prove that the earth is round. And they're like, all right, keep lowering the laser. And then they're like, how but about, how low was that? It's like, yeah, it's like about three feet. And so anyway, they like disprove their entire thing at the very end. Um, I don't even remember what I was talking about. This is why.
urfavoritecoastersux: You smoked a ship, my friend.
Ben: So that's not a good idea. this
urfavoritecoastersux: Well, ah let's see, I'm going to see if there's some amusement park news. Here we go. um Six Flags Over Georgia. Is maybe going to open the Georgia surfer at some point.
Ben: Oh, that's right. Was that right? um It's like the Intamin ripoff of the mock splash.
urfavoritecoastersux: Georgia surfer.
urfavoritecoastersux: I'm just like, honestly, that's just my reaction to that name. What a horrible name.
urfavoritecoastersux: Like, first of all, well, about three quarters of the goddamn rides in that park have Georgia in the name.
Ben: Mm hmm. I knew that I knew that Texas was very like. Into their brand, but I didn't realize that Georgia was.
urfavoritecoastersux: Well, they have the Georgia Scorcher. They used to have the Georgia scott Cyclone and the Georgia Surfer.
Ben: Yeah.
urfavoritecoastersux: I mean, maybe it's not that many, but still. That's like twice as many rides as Great America has any ride with Illinois in the name.
Ben: Yeah, Illinois doesn't work out that way.
Ben: The it.
urfavoritecoastersux: Yeah, it's like the the Illinois corruption. Which sounds like a pretty awesome team name, by the way.
Ben: Yeah. Or like that could be like a flat ride name.
urfavoritecoastersux: I think I think that's the team that plays against the Harlem Globetrotters.
Ben: Oh really?
urfavoritecoastersux: No, that's the Washington
urfavoritecoastersux: Whatever the fuck they are. Nationals or something. No, that's the baseball team. I don't remember, but no, the the and the Illinois corruption.
urfavoritecoastersux: I like that. um But yeah, it doesn't really work very well, but Georgia's surfer is not. A good name.
Ben: Well, it's also, I mean, it seems like these were, remember when Intamin was offering random product offerings that were all ripoffs?
urfavoritecoastersux: Yeah. I think they're still doing that.
Ben: Which is funny. Oh my God. Ruger farted. Gross.
urfavoritecoastersux: Speaking of ah gross farts, the Golden Ticket Award nominations are being accepted.
Ben: Oh, nice.
Ben: Did you get a ballot?
urfavoritecoastersux: No, I don't think I can participate anymore.
Ben: Have you tried though or did they just stop sending it?
urfavoritecoastersux: They stop sending it.
Ben: ah Okay.
urfavoritecoastersux: But I did get to vote once, so.
urfavoritecoastersux: They can never take that away from me.
Ben: Yeah.
urfavoritecoastersux: Six flags over Georgia, there's a kid flash status update.
urfavoritecoastersux: I just want to be very clear here. I'm discussing the roller coaster.
Ben: ah system That name...
urfavoritecoastersux: Kid Flash.
Ben: Cause Kid Flash isn't even a movie, right?
urfavoritecoastersux: OK, here's I'm going to just read them read this scream skate update verbatim because it's fucking hilarious.
urfavoritecoastersux: I've got a quick correction regarding the status of Kid Flash at Six Flags Over Georgia.
urfavoritecoastersux: just that made me laugh uh previously it was reported that the dueling coasters closed a few hours after the park opened with many believing it was down again long term this is not true however as it was confirmed to me that kid flash did reopen that same afternoon and we haven't heard any further stories about issues since um kid flash
Ben: this
Ben: Okay flash Yeah So they're so they're technically getting two coasters and
urfavoritecoastersux: Kind of sounds like a rapper. Yeah, because Kid Flash took fucking a year and a half to open.
Ben: Why, why are those rides so late? Like what, what's the problem with them?
urfavoritecoastersux: I.
urfavoritecoastersux: hard to say maybe the lights really fucked it up Georgia's
Ben: Yeah, maybe. You know, one thing I don't like about Georgia surfer is that it doesn't have
Ben: Oh it doesn't even splash down. It's just found.
urfavoritecoastersux: surfer kind of sounds like um
urfavoritecoastersux: Like one of those really weird country pop fusion bands.
Ben: Yeah.
Ben: Oh shit, I'm looking at this promo of Georgia Surfer and there's apparently like a ah ah a tunnel, like a fountain tunnel ah that the ride can go through.
urfavoritecoastersux: Interesting.
Ben: And they're calling the spikes a gravity stall ramp.
urfavoritecoastersux: That's. An interesting. Way to put it.
Ben: The best one out of that was the mock with the loop.
urfavoritecoastersux: That should look crazy. Like for real.
Ben: Yeah, that's the best one.
urfavoritecoastersux: Looks like free beer is coming back to Busch Gardens over Tampa. Busch Gardens over Tampa Busch Gardens Tampa.
Ben: Oh shit. How long, it's because it's been done for what?
urfavoritecoastersux: For.
Ben: A long time?
urfavoritecoastersux: Yeah, well, they occasionally do it, I think, but it looks like ah for a limited time, Tampa theme park will offer one complimentary beer per day to all guests and two complimentary beers per day to pass members.
Ben: Okay.
Ben: It's a good way to sync them.
urfavoritecoastersux: Uh, yeah, variety of rotating options to choose from, from classic domestic brews to artisanal craft beers. Guests can enjoy a refreshing drink while experiencing the thrill of a watering roller coasters and up close encounters with animals and the all new things happening this summer.
urfavoritecoastersux: So we'll get a free beer.
Ben: Oh, yeah Yeah, well if they're serving it in an air -conditioned room, yeah, I couldn't them Thinking back on that like they're the only things that were the only place that were air -conditioned were the gift shops and
urfavoritecoastersux: That actually sounds like it would be really good in the like Florida heat and humidity.
urfavoritecoastersux: It says, uh, orangue cafe. so if it's a cafe it's probably air -conditioned
Ben: yeah
urfavoritecoastersux: so get y 'all asses out to ah Bush Gardens Tampa and go drink some beer
Ben: Yeah To a day for the for the season pass that sounds um
Ben: I mean, because there's already people who, you know, those videos where it's like, I have a meal plan and I eat at the park every day.
urfavoritecoastersux: Yeah, right. Like all the offices in Tampa just get like season passes for their employees and they're like, all right, Friday, happy hour.
Ben: ah Yeah, I mean, why not?
urfavoritecoastersux: That'd be the shit, though.
Ben: That's that's funny.
Ben: Yeah. Although the, um, the food that's offered though, like I bet after like a week, you're probably like, I don't want any of this. You probably are like sick and like you've got anal fissures from aggressive wiping with like the one ply toilet paper that that's in Dean parks.
urfavoritecoastersux: yeah
urfavoritecoastersux: Dude, you look sickly. Are you okay? Yeah, I'm good. I, um, I've just only been eating six flags meals for the past three months. Oh, good Lord. Or like, are you okay? No, no, I'm good. Um, I like some open sores in my legs and I can't walk properly anymore, but like,
urfavoritecoastersux: I've got a weird gate to my step. So like, I kind of need a walker or at least a cane, but like I'm good. Do you want to go get some beers? Yeah, dude, let's go.
Ben: Yeah, like...
urfavoritecoastersux: And scene.
Ben: God. I mean, and with the the amount of microplastics in that food, yeah.
urfavoritecoastersux: And fucking sodium.
Ben: It's like worse. That'd be like eating at 7 -11 every day. Like, if you ever actually ate 7 -11 food,
urfavoritecoastersux: Dude, it's funny you should mention that there's a 7 -Eleven around the corner from where I work in this weekend, I got hungry. And I ended up buying a taquito. And good lord, that was a horrible mistake.
urfavoritecoastersux: I felt like shit for like six hours.
Ben: Yeah. God, then they have those wings. In the pizza, it's like.
urfavoritecoastersux: Yeah, the pizza is like disgusting. Because it's got that like cardboard fucking crust.
Ben: Yeah.
urfavoritecoastersux: It's basically like they took a full -size Totino's pizza and left it out in the sun. And then cooked it.
Ben: Yep.
urfavoritecoastersux: There's like, that's actually how 7 -Eleven got in the pizza business. Totino's like, one of their trucks broke down. They're like, does anybody wanna buy like 80 pounds of pizzas? 7 -Eleven's like, yes.
urfavoritecoastersux: And Totino's like, you know, you can't like eat these, right? And they're like, we won't.
urfavoritecoastersux: Let's see here. um
Ben: I always forget that Georgia's actually on the ocean.
urfavoritecoastersux: is it
Ben: Yeah, good part of it. Basically from like Jacksonville, Florida to Savannah.
Ben: Actually, actually a little north of that yet too. Like I know like i know it's on the ocean, but like I always forget that it's on the ocean. Let's see directions from, at let's see, let's say you lived in Atlanta and you went to the beach.
Ben: It's like a four hour drive.
Ben: It's not too bad.
urfavoritecoastersux: I'll be yeah on the eastern side. Okay, like southeast Yeah, all right, well totally forgot I was thinking about like south, you know Screamscape screamscape is saying the former Six Flags New Orleans is gonna get demolished
Ben: Yeah.
Ben: I feel like that was supposed to happen like every year for the last 20 years.
urfavoritecoastersux: yep Yep. Yeah, they're saying they're going to knock it down and try to build a water park.
Ben: Well, at least the water park is a little bit easier when it floods.
urfavoritecoastersux: Right, you can adapt the attractions.
Ben: God, speaking of 21 year anniversary is coming up. Katrina is going to be having its 20th anniversary, I think next year.
urfavoritecoastersux: oh Shit yeah, you're right Yeah same
Ben: I remember that vividly because that was when the theme park review forums were new.
urfavoritecoastersux: that I remember that being like when Myspace was still new too.
Ben: Yeah.
Ben: I'm getting distracted by these.
urfavoritecoastersux: Well, it looks like Circus Circus Adventure Dome is not in.
Ben: and
urfavoritecoastersux: So looks like.
urfavoritecoastersux: They removed the chaos, which really sucks. And the mini golf that used to be in there.
Ben: yeah
urfavoritecoastersux: and it looks like there's a pretty large unoccupied spot in there now like underneath the first corkscrew of canyon blaster it
Ben: Yeah. I'm actually surprised that place is still holding on.
urfavoritecoastersux: makes sense what else are they gonna do plus circus circus is like
Ben: Yeah Yeah
urfavoritecoastersux: a family place. you know
urfavoritecoastersux: It probably makes more than enough money to justify its continued operation.
Ben: Oh wait, yeah, we got a, um, we haven't talked about Thorpe Park energy or Hyperia is down. And then he got dragster down.
urfavoritecoastersux: yeah ain't the year for new attractions apparently yeah and nobody's buying those anymore and even those right because penguin trek is having some difficulty I think I
Ben: Although that's not like this is new. I mean, I mean, why every, I feel like no ride is open on time. other than B &Ms.
Ben: Oh yeah, was that supposed to be open already?
urfavoritecoastersux: think so
Ben: Oh shit, okay.
urfavoritecoastersux: And what's it called? um Fast and the Furious out at Universal Hollywood got delayed to 2026.
Ben: Okay, shit.
urfavoritecoastersux: But there was a recent interview um with somebody from the Epic Universe team who was saying they're going to open Epic Universe in early 2025.
Ben: Okay. That'll be cool. I haven't been to the grand opening of a theme park like ever.
urfavoritecoastersux: And they specifically said before summer.
Ben: okay
Ben: and be cool haven't been to the grand opening of of a theme park like ever other than Nick universe, which doesn't count.
urfavoritecoastersux: Yeah, I'd like to go within the first six months.
Ben: Yeah.
urfavoritecoastersux: Ooh, here's a fun, exciting story real quick. A shirtless man was arrested at Beach Bend Amusement Park in Kentucky when he apparently decided to climb up to the top of the Kentucky Rumbler wooden roller coaster around 10 30 p .m. According to reports, Police talked with him for about an hour that led to a peaceful walk back down the coaster where he was arrested and taken in. Based on the video, he appears to be somewhat intoxicated. According to some online reports, he may have been trying to wave an American flag at one point and yelling that he was, captain quote, Captain America.
Ben: I mean, it's better than a MAGA flag.
urfavoritecoastersux: Yeah.
Ben: That'd have been a funnier story.
urfavoritecoastersux: Yeah, or Captain Planet. Captain Planet. And it's just Ted Turner kicking people in the deck.
Ben: Oh, I saw, I saw a random, uh, I don't remember what the actual post was. Um, but it was something about Mount Olympus and like that new water park tower opening. And I was looking through the comments and I saw someone randomly say that the Mount Olympus owner kicks dogs.
urfavoritecoastersux: I'm honored. A single tear is falling out of my eye right now.
Ben: I think what's funnier about the joke too is like, whenever we make, whenever we say that or make fun of it, it's never like, we never say his full name. It's just the owner of Mount Olympus.
urfavoritecoastersux: The owner. yeah ah
Ben: And that's how, and that's how it was in the comment too. I don't know. It was just funny.
urfavoritecoastersux: I'm so glad that that's one of those situations where like you know you put something out into the world and you no longer own it.
Ben: Yeah.
urfavoritecoastersux: I'm so glad that's made its its way out there now.
Ben: That would be a, that could be a shirt.
urfavoritecoastersux: Yeah. And like, that's the thing. I don't need us to get credit for that. It's quite enough for that to just show up in their comments section. Just completely unrelated to us.
Ben: Yeah.
Ben: I'm just imagining this shirt. It's just as like the owner of, and then it has the actual logo of Mount Olympus water in the park and then kicks dogs.
urfavoritecoastersux: kick a dog in Mount Olympus.
urfavoritecoastersux: Yeah, that would be a funny shirt. It just says the owner of Mount Olympus kicks dogs.
Ben: I wonder if I put that into, uh, perplexity because apparently perplexity reads YouTube and I don't know about, I mean, obviously not discord, but
urfavoritecoastersux: I'm trying to find if there's like a ah sound effect of a something comparable.
Ben: Okay. So I asked, I asked at that and it says, no, the park clearly, the park rules clearly state that service dogs are permitted at my Olympus water and theme park with some restrictions.
urfavoritecoastersux: So they are allowed in.
Ben: Yeah.
Ben: Are there any incidents of animal cruelty reported at Mount Olympus? No, it just, it just lists the park rules about pets.
urfavoritecoastersux: Of course not, because it's been swept under the rug.
Ben: So yeah, actually Mount Olympus.
Ben: new slide because they built the world's tallest slide called ah the rise of Icarus.
Ben: And apparently the there's ah there's like a bunch of these, it's like a clone kind of slide. And they built this one like half a foot taller than the second tallest one.
Ben: America's tallest water slide.
urfavoritecoastersux: interesting that's such a weird record to want after the last one that famously killed a kid how many how many stories high is it
Ben: Yeah.
Ben: Plus you really think, yeah. Plus like you think these like Midwesterners who are having to take their family annual family vacation at Mount Olympus are gonna be able to walk up those stairs.
Ben: That's like 15. So yeah, that'll be fun.
urfavoritecoastersux: There it is.
Ben: I think that's technically more stairs than, uh, Verrucht had. Hold on. Oh no. Verrucht was 169 feet tall. Hey, at least Mount Olympus didn't build Verrucht.
urfavoritecoastersux: You still there, dude?
Ben: Yeah.
urfavoritecoastersux: OK. I think maybe cut off for a sec.
Ben: Oh shit, okay.
Ben: I was just...
urfavoritecoastersux: I OK, I downloaded the correct. um Sound effects so that hopefully I can stitch together a dog being kicked sound effect. To represent the owner of Mount Olympus.
urfavoritecoastersux: who always walks around with a dog.
urfavoritecoastersux: I just like to picture that it's like triumph.
Ben: Yeah.
urfavoritecoastersux: And he's like, this roller coaster looks great for me to poop on.
urfavoritecoastersux: and then the owner kicks him.
Ben: Yeah. There's a very distinct like kind of whimper sound.
urfavoritecoastersux: Hold on, I think I got this. Give me a give me just a moment here.
urfavoritecoastersux: Yeah, i I'm definitely gonna have this, hold on.
urfavoritecoastersux: Oh God. I can already hear it and it's not, it's sounding sad as fuck. Exactly how we were intending.
urfavoritecoastersux: All right.
Ben: Is it uh...
urfavoritecoastersux: boom okay I'm exporting it right now okay and let me just get it on onto Zencaster so I can share with you this amazing creation here we go
urfavoritecoastersux: OK, so save the owner of Mount Olympus.
Ben: um The owner of Mount Olympus.
Ben: Yeah, that's pretty good. and so
urfavoritecoastersux: Now we have that one at the ready all the time. I love it.
urfavoritecoastersux: So anytime that we um even so much as bring up Mount Olympus.
urfavoritecoastersux: That was that was definitely worth that.
Ben: And is it on the, is it on the soundboard now?
urfavoritecoastersux: Yep.
Ben: Nice.
urfavoritecoastersux: And remember, we're not the bastards. We're only laughing about the owner doing this. And also remember, that was three individual sound effects that I stitched together. And I have the proof officer.
Ben: That make it worse or better.
urfavoritecoastersux: I don't know.
urfavoritecoastersux: Yeah, so well, in case you were wondering what Mount Olympus sounds like.
Ben: I've just been on their homepage too, scrolling around, so.
urfavoritecoastersux: I wanna, yeah, if if anybody is, ah you know, good good with them stuff like that, if you could figure out a way to get that sound effect to play when you get onto their website.
urfavoritecoastersux: Here it is isolated just for all of you one more time.
Ben: Aww.
urfavoritecoastersux: Yeah, I am I can't believe mouth this owner kicks dogs That's crazy that showed up on a Facebook post I
Ben: Must be a listener.
urfavoritecoastersux: Maybe, or maybe it's just made the rounds.
Ben: Yeah.
urfavoritecoastersux: All right, well, let's see, is there much else going on?
Ben: Yeah, not much. It's kind of a slow summer.
urfavoritecoastersux: yeah there's not a whole whole lot on here great adventure the flash vertical velocity well
Ben: I keep forgetting that's even a thing perfect timing
urfavoritecoastersux: I guess the track is fully installed and they're waiting to do clearance testing so
urfavoritecoastersux: they're hoping to have it open in July I guess it seems about six flags the way they do things you know right and it's gonna have a fucking like the slowest fucking moving line but hey
Ben: Especially for a ride that only like one out of six guests can even ride because of the poor capacity.
Ben: God, that's so dumb.
urfavoritecoastersux: You know, is what it is, right? at least At least they got a big new coaster they can talk about.
Ben: Yeah.
Ben: um
urfavoritecoastersux: But all right, always good to ah fucking get it get an episode out.
Ben: Yeah. I shouldn't have smoked.
urfavoritecoastersux: Well, it's always good to you know also and talk a little bit about Mount Olympus.
Ben: Yeah.
urfavoritecoastersux: That's never not going to be entertaining.
Ben: I mean, it'll probably at least be in every episode.
urfavoritecoastersux: I can only imagine so because we're going to have to bring up Mount Olympus a lot more.
urfavoritecoastersux: I feel like if we play that every time we say Mount Olympus, it'll start an association.
Ben: Yeah. Oh, for sure.
urfavoritecoastersux: yeah
urfavoritecoastersux: Oh my God. All right. Well.
urfavoritecoastersux: I don't know I'm glad I'm glad we're doing this I guess we'll we'll come back but if it's all just gonna be Top Thrill 2 and in Hyperia because it's just they're not open yeah right I mean media day happened and then vamoose
Ben: Yeah, there hasn't been enough reviews yet of either of them.
urfavoritecoastersux: But yeah, we'll ah we'll be catching up more soon. We'll be getting more of these episodes out to all y 'all. I don't know. You got any park visits planned?
Ben: Not really. I might go out to Lost Island at some point um when I have to go to Omaha because I think it's just under three hours from there.
urfavoritecoastersux: Nice.
Ben: So figure if that's close enough to go visit. We'll see though. I'm not sure yet.
urfavoritecoastersux: Yeah, well, I mean, that could be fun. I ain't planning shit, really.
urfavoritecoastersux: ah Still looking decently alright for Disneyland in August.
Ben: Yeah, nice.
urfavoritecoastersux: or at least D23. Park may or may not be a possibility.
Ben: Yeah.
urfavoritecoastersux: Because at that time, the weekend pricing is up to almost $200 for a single park ticket.
Ben: the yeah That seems about right.
urfavoritecoastersux: Yeah, and I'm not saying it's not worth it. I'm just saying I don't know if I and find 200 bucks to go to Disneyland for a single day.
Ben: Yeah, right.
urfavoritecoastersux: in in August for August, you know.
Ben: Right.
urfavoritecoastersux: But I'll probably make it out to Great America a few times. Sky Stryker is going to open this week, I think.
Ben: OK, cool. Yeah, that right. um I mean, it's cool they're getting one, I guess. I don't know. It's something new, at least. That coaster route of theirs, though, is
urfavoritecoastersux: Currently the longest in the park's history.
Ben: Yeah.
urfavoritecoastersux: So we'll see what happens there.
urfavoritecoastersux: And there's a there's a interesting cohort of enthusiasts online who seem to be of the mindset that not only should American Eagle be RMC'd,
urfavoritecoastersux: They should wait until 2026 to do a major attraction because of the the anniversary.
Ben: I mean, it makes sense. I could see them doing like a revamp over an arm. See though. I don't know. Or take out demon. Put something there.
urfavoritecoastersux: I feel like demon would be a better spot for an RMC fucking raptor.
Ben: Yeah. Yeah.
urfavoritecoastersux: I think a custom layout raptor would be awesome there.
urfavoritecoastersux: And I think it could take that spot and utilize it super well.
Ben: Yeah, for sure.
urfavoritecoastersux: I mean, they could even keep the double corkscrew
Ben: Yeah, the. I mean, they'd have to redo all that rock work anyway, but at least the tunnel. Keep it. Over the over the midway. If you got some ideas.
urfavoritecoastersux: ah Hopefully they'll be doing something Fingers crossed, right?
Ben: Yeah.
urfavoritecoastersux: But um, you got anything else Ben?
Ben: No, it's just, I don't know. It's summer.
urfavoritecoastersux: Go ride some rides or go to a park Alright,
Ben: Things will pick up, but things will pick up in like July.
urfavoritecoastersux: uh, well Yeah, definitely
Ben: Team Park, it's like knowing it's like June is it's almost like everybody's busy in June and then. People get busy with like summer shit and then towards the end of the summer, the coaster stuff starts picking up again.
urfavoritecoastersux: Yeah.
urfavoritecoastersux: Alright.
Ben: but
urfavoritecoastersux: Well, fucking A, man. Good times. Thank you all so much for listening.
urfavoritecoastersux: Ooh. And, um... Shit, I don't know. Until next time, your favorite coaster sucks.
Ben: Your favorite coaster sucks.
