Podcasting Challenges and Solutions
00:00:00
Speaker
Hey Ben, making a podcast is pretty tough, right? Yeah, you gotta like record stuff and then you gotta upload it and it sucks. I know, it's a fucking bummer and it's a lot of effort, but I just found out about Anchor.fm, which lets you record and edit directly through their website or app, as well as upload and publish to platforms such as Spotify and Apple Podcasts.
00:00:21
Speaker
So anchor.fm is not a porn site, right? Not yet, because it's still free too. So you know, they'll start charging once they got only fan style content. That's good. That's good to hear. So if you want to jump on the train before it's all titties and pussies, download the anchor app or go to anchor.fm to get started.
Introduction of Hosts
00:00:40
Speaker
Welcome to the worst roller coaster podcast on the internet. Now let's join Ben and Zach as they tell you why your favorite coasters suck.
00:00:52
Speaker
I'm Zach and I'm a marijuana. I'm Ben and I'm wearing Tuesday's underwear. I'm Dan and I like my Schwarzkopfs like I like my men. Over 40. Nice. Misty and have killed people. Daddy Anton.
00:01:19
Speaker
Give me that schnitzel. Probably, probably was in the Nazi army. Oh, that's right. Yep. I've said probably cause it's not confirmed. But if you look at his timeline, where else would he have been? It's really, we need an expedition theme park on that.
00:01:45
Speaker
Was Anton Shorskoff fighting for the Nazi army in World War II?
Historical Inquiry: Anton Schwarzkopf and WWII
00:01:53
Speaker
Then it's just a thumbnail with a bunch of arrows. It'd be a short video because I'm almost certain the answer is yes. Maybe. Yo, is that on his Wikipedia page? It's not, but if you look at his age and when World War II happened,
00:02:14
Speaker
It's exactly right. And like the Wikipedia just happens to gloss over those years. Oh, like it's like he was born and then then he was an art like an engineer. I mean, I don't know. Well. Well, probably he was the top Nazi roller coaster designer.
00:02:43
Speaker
I mean, at least he figured out how to do a vertical loop. That's cool. I mean, yeah, the loops are cool. Yeah, this is like the third week we've gone in the weird areas quickly. So Dr. Seuss. Hop on pop, perhaps not. Mrs. Potato Dick. That's right, I remember that.
00:03:16
Speaker
That was like two days ago. Good Lord. So, um, what was the thing that was for the, the juggalo, did they call it the juggalo show or was it something different? It was, um, under underground records. Okay. Yeah. This is when SNL did the parody of the gathering of the juggalos. Yeah, it was good. And ass Dan.
00:03:46
Speaker
Oh, yeah, that's right. Guns, rap balls. And we're spraying the whole audience with cat piss. Everyone gets a pitchfork.
00:04:02
Speaker
We got live alligators running around this shit. So, let's take a chance real quick.
Social Media Shoutouts and Pop Culture
00:04:14
Speaker
We got Dan here. Dan, what do you want to plug?
00:04:18
Speaker
Uh, let me plague. I said plague a plug. My, uh, Instagram shockwave, Dan, all one word. And then for my music, uh, real shiny fabric and then check out that. And then if you, any of you guys are fans of drag race, check out my older brother, Elliot with two T's. He is on season 13. So yeah, check him out. He's awesome.
00:04:47
Speaker
Now he's, he's still hanging on. Oh yeah. He's still on at the time of the recording this. Yes. He is. I don't have cable. So I haven't seen. It's on the CW. If so, do you get, do you have that in Chicago? I do. Yeah. It's on the CW every Friday night at seven.
00:05:12
Speaker
Oh, OK. So that's like they went like hard with promotional and like stuff this season. So that way, like anyone, you don't even have to have cable to watch it. So it's really awesome. For sure. I did not realize that. So I will have to tune in soon, then. Oh, yeah. It's it's a pretty great season.
00:05:40
Speaker
What's, uh, what's its number numbered season? Like season 13. Okay. Excuse me. Didn't realize that show had been on for so long.
00:05:55
Speaker
Oh yeah. It's, it's just been, it's hit that point towards just like American idol level big. So it's, it's so crazy. And I don't know. It still just doesn't even feel real. Like that's my brother on that show. And like millions of people are seeing him. It's so weird.
00:06:22
Speaker
Yeah. Like I knew the show was big when I have more of my straight friends that watch the show than my gay friends. Oh yeah. More straight friends that watch it. Yeah. Like obsessed with it. Oh yeah. Pretty much the only people who like are aware of it at work are either, uh, the girl coworkers or the gay guys. And that's it.
00:06:52
Speaker
which is the typical audience. Yeah. Yeah. Like, uh, last, last year there was a showing for one of the episodes at one of the bars here. And it like, there was like six, like straight, like bro-y ex-military guys there. I mean, maybe they were a little more by than I assumed, but I was definitely like, okay, this show's big. If this is the audience that it's polling, like something has shifted and that's,
00:07:22
Speaker
I like the thought I like the thought of like fucking tank top muscle bros at like hamburger Mary's going like, oh, yeah, Katarina Delcock shots. Yeah. Well, yeah, that's that's a pretty amusing thought.
00:07:50
Speaker
I'm going to keep that one in my back pocket. Cause I have a feeling this episode is going to get gayer and I'm going to need a moment of mental repress. Yeah, that's right. So well, I guess that was just later, but usually when the ratio is two to one, it gets a little more gay. So just like on the zoom call, when, when all of us pulled out our poppers, that was fun.
00:08:18
Speaker
Y'all on some whole other shit. I'm like, shit, did Dan go to get his poppers now? Yeah. Did you go get them? Is he going to, is he taking a hit? Oh, Oh, did we lose them? Maybe the poppers work too well.
00:08:52
Speaker
we were talking about how usually when the ratio goes two to two to one on gay straight, it gets the episode tends to get very gay. And, uh, like last week when we all pulled out our poppers and half of the zoom call was just showing poppers. That was great. That was very great. You guys are fucking crazy about cleaning VCRs.
00:09:18
Speaker
I mean, they're cheaper than renting DVDs. So that's true. Yeah. I mean, there's a bookstore right next to my apartment. So they sell VHS for a dollar. So it's like pay $6 to rent this or watch it for a dollar. So I got a lot of busy hours to clean. Have you ever been in one of those, uh, arcades at the porn shop? I have not now. Yeah.
00:09:48
Speaker
Me neither. Zach, have you? I have not. That seems like the grossest fucking thing ever. I've seen a lot of stories and it sounds interesting, but COVID. So yeah, here you want to sit in this chair where thousands of gross men have jerked off and came all over this booth. I mean, are you guys done? I'm the guy that cleans the loads.
00:10:18
Speaker
I mean, it's got to be a bad job. If it pays the bills, it pays the bills. Can you imagine sitting there with a mop and a spray bottle of fucking Windex? I bet there's some guy out there who he's just living the dream working in an arcade.
00:10:40
Speaker
Oh, definitely. I almost got a, I almost applied at a bath house in Dallas, but the sad, not too last minute. What was the job? Um, it was like three years ago, but it was like, uh, I think it was just like cleaning or a front desk or something like that. I don't, I don't remember.
00:11:05
Speaker
reception. Yeah. Just receptionist. Like, cause like I, I almost applied to be a DJ at a bath house before I realized what the place was. You should have still done it. I wasn't the wildest crowd ever. Yeah. No, I'm good.
00:11:33
Speaker
They they required some like music that I didn't really have a great catalog of and OK. So one of my friends in Seattle, he is a professional sex party dungeon DJ. Oh.
00:11:55
Speaker
specifically gay dungeon sex party DJ. Okay. He actually travels the world and play does like does venues and events and stuff. It's pretty fun. Yeah. It's good. It's good stuff. Have you seen them live?
00:12:13
Speaker
Yeah. There was this event, this like rubber event in Vancouver that I went to last year and he DJ'd that. And there was, um, it was really, it was really, really interesting because it wasn't, um, a room full of people dancing, but it also wasn't happening in like the mazes. It was just kind of like,
00:12:33
Speaker
there was like a flogging station and there was, um, you know, like a wax, like a, like a wax scene. And it was just really cool how everything kind of went together. So it's pretty cool. I think this is the shortest amount of time it's taken for an episode to get that guy. Have you been in like those mazes often? I went to one in Paris and it was like freaky. Yeah. I can't do the mazes. Yeah. I'm a,
00:13:03
Speaker
I'm not a party guy myself anyway. I'm more of a like, I'll go to those things to meet people and socialize and make friends. But like, I'm not trying to get in the dark room anytime soon. Oh yeah. Especially since like the one that I was at in
00:13:21
Speaker
it was like connected to the bathroom. And so I remember I was trying to pee at the urinal and like some guy just like came up and grabbed my dick. And I was so like fucked up that I didn't, I wasn't able to like say like, Hey, stop touching my dick. So I just like screeched at him. Oh shit.
00:13:42
Speaker
Yeah, those, those situations are a little uncomfortable when like, yeah, it's almost like there's, I always, it's almost like I hate being rude, but then at the same time it's like, no, it's like, it's your personal space. Like you have every right to, it's just like, I'm trying to take a piss. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. There was, um, I went through this bar, I think it was,
00:14:05
Speaker
Maybe it was Vancouver, but where the urinals, there was literally like a camera above the urinal and then like you go into it in a different room, it actually would have it on TV. It's kind of funny, but also a creepy. Yeah. I mean, it's like different rooms in a fun house.
00:14:30
Speaker
So this just sounds like a really perverse version of Meow Wolf or something. I don't know what mazes are and I don't need an explanation. I just wanted to fill you guys in. I back pocketed that thing about the frat bros being all psyched on a drag queen. So I just pictured those guys in a corn maze going like, yeah, man, Alaska Thunderfuck supposed to be in the center.
00:15:03
Speaker
And they're like, they're all drinking like white claws and. Yeah. Well. And actually, as far as episodes turning gay, quick, the last week we are intro where we were talking about dick sizes. You were talking about dick sizes. OK, I'll take that. I was talking about weed smokers.
00:15:34
Speaker
Oh, so so one last thing about this, there is actually so recon the, you know, kink gay app. They actually host an event in Europe that's at a theme park. Oh, really? Yeah. So that actually looks like a lot of fun. Which one? Because that would make a huge difference. I don't remember.
00:16:05
Speaker
Or was it at just like some traveling fun fair? No, I want to say it was like, uh, okay. Antwerp river Belgium. Okay. Yeah. So somewhere in Belgium. Oh, okay. Wallaby Belgium. I mean, they, they got Conda. That looks awesome. Yeah. I don't remember where this exactly was.
00:16:34
Speaker
Huh. Yeah, I kind of wanted to go to that. It looks fun. Can you imagine?
Bourbon Quality Debate
00:16:40
Speaker
Coaster Studios is doing his big return trip to Europe and he just happens to visit the same day as that event. You're acting like he wouldn't already know that. Well, he'd be like, wow, this is such a weird coincidence.
00:16:58
Speaker
and he's vlogging the whole time. Since I'm here and this event's happening, I might as well check it out. It comes with ERT. Or he only shows 30 seconds of on-ride footage that he filmed in the morning, and then just made up an excuse of why he had no footage. He completely ignores it in his video, except in one shot, he's wearing a leather bracelet or something.
00:17:28
Speaker
He's like, yeah, he's wearing like a harness and it's like a flash frame. It shows like one, it's like a split second where it's like him surrounded by like seven, like older, like shirtless men, like, you know, and he's like on his knees and it's just like, yeah, I just completely skipped over it. You went zero to a hundred on that one, Ben. That wasn't a hundred. That wasn't a hundred. That was a hundred enough.
00:17:58
Speaker
That's like a five. No, no, no. That was that was 100 enough. He's on a table and there's like this, you know. Anyway, right. What are you all drinking? I don't even have a fucking beverage, Dan, what do you got?
00:18:26
Speaker
I'm finishing up this mixture of Fanta and Sprite. Nice. Classy. A friend gave me a $70 bottle of bourbon, except it sucks. And so I'm wondering if it was a joke.
00:18:47
Speaker
And I'm still drinking it, but it's not, like, it's not terrible, but like, it doesn't seem that good. So I'm wondering if this is a joke. He poured out the good shit and replaced it with cheap bourbon. But this thing, it doesn't taste cheap. It tastes like it's watered down. He poured out some of it and replaced it with water.
00:19:11
Speaker
But I was one of those things like I didn't want to I didn't want to call. Like, you know what I mean? You can't complain. Like someone gives you something like that. You should really shouldn't like you feel bad complaining about it or confronting. You're embodying what people hate about millennials right now. What's that? I got this 70 dollar gift and it sucked.
00:19:34
Speaker
No, but it's not, the gift wasn't the fact that it was a $70 bottle, it was like, hey, I got this bottle, but I don't like bourbon, do you want it? And now I'm wondering if maybe there's more to the story of how he got it, and maybe if it's not really worth this much, you know what I mean? It's just, I don't know.
00:19:54
Speaker
It's a monster plan something's off with it something's definitely off with it Make sure you keep your ears peeled for our upcoming three-part series about the backstory of Ben's bourbon It's not that interesting it's a deep dive expose into the world of regifting That's
00:20:20
Speaker
That's not cool. I'm sure it was a re-gift. What's what? What the fuck is not cool about that? I suppose. Does the bottle look cool at least? Yeah, it's it's it's got a nice cork cap. Yeah, it's a cool bottle. It's really cool. I just maybe it's old. I don't know. Is it getting you buzzed?
00:20:51
Speaker
Uh, not, I don't know. I'll know more after this class, but anyway, it's just, it's just one of those things. I demand you drink three cups right now to the dome and answer the question. Four cups, five cups. Well, I already had half of it yesterday and I'm drinking the rest of the half today. So chug, chug the bottle, drink it.
00:21:25
Speaker
And then, and then put a lighter by your mouth? Well, okay, here's the thing. It's possible that it's so smooth that it tastes like it's watered down. You just went from shitting on this stuff to doing an ad for it. Make up your mind. Yeah, but smooth doesn't necessarily mean good. Smooth just means it doesn't taste like alcohol. And then like 45 seconds, you get super fucked up. Right? So smooth, you'd think it was watered down.
00:21:56
Speaker
So smooth, you'd think you were being hydrated. Yeah, so smooth, you thought you got ripped off when you bought a bottle of liquor in an Ohio grocery store. Oof. Yeah, that's that's the real feels right there. That's a hard lesson to learn.
00:22:18
Speaker
when you buy like a bottle of Jack Daniels, but it's like 50% alcohol, or the alcohol is cut 50%. So it's like 20%. And you're drinking it. And then you try to mix it with some Faygo and you're like, what the fuck is wrong with this drink? Yeah. You're like, this is supposed to be just like grape soda and Jack Daniels. Instead this tastes like watery bullshit.
00:22:44
Speaker
I want to know how the fuck they do that because they can't they can't just water that shit down. It's like with beer. So in Colorado, up until a few years ago, grocery stores could only sell three to beer. And I had to buy it out of necessity to beer, three point two percent.
00:23:02
Speaker
Uh, what? Yeah. Yeah. So like, um, um, you know, like there's times where like the liquor, I couldn't get to the liquor store, so I'd have to go to Safeway and get, you know, PBR or whatever. And it doesn't taste different, but you definitely notice it if you're, you know, if you're having like five or six, you realize 14 in, you're like, shit. Yeah. I don't know how they do it. Like it's just, it's always been weird to me, but yeah.
00:23:34
Speaker
I think technically, too, in public spaces, there is a law that says you can exceed three point two percent. But I think that is not followed anymore. So it doesn't mean it in quantity. What was it? It doesn't mean it in quantity. Yeah. Yeah, that's like that's like this crowd is only three point two percent alcohol, we promise.
00:24:03
Speaker
I didn't tell you how many. 10,000 people and we served 30,000 beers. I don't know. You do the math. Sorry. So if you guys aren't drinking, what are you smoking?
Texas Cannabis Legality Humor
00:24:21
Speaker
I've got a combination of Zookies and gee whiz. I'm in Texas. How would I know?
00:24:33
Speaker
Yeah, I think the answer is legal things. Exactly. I'm a good Christian woman. Is Texas medical? No. OK, just CBD. OK. My exact reaction to that, yeah. You know, for a state that's so hot,
00:25:03
Speaker
and so full of fields and so pro business and pro freedom. Oh, yeah, it's it's stupid to really be missing the fucking mark on that one. Oh, yeah, it's it's stupid. All Texas needs is legal weed and a really good hyper coaster and it will be elite. And like and no Ted Cruz.
00:25:32
Speaker
Yeah, I'm I'm so sick of seeing his face. He's just so ugly. Yeah, he's not a very fuckable guy. No, I mean, a little bit more with the beard, but still no. Dude, he looks like he would do like fucking burger flights with Rob Alvey.
00:26:04
Speaker
Yeah. He looks exactly like he'd be hanging with Rob Alvey. Like the thing is, like you could see him and you can like picture the smell. Yeah. Yeah. And like with that beard, you know. There's not. Ten minutes of the day where he doesn't have some sort of fucking crumb. Hang in.
00:26:34
Speaker
Yep. Uh, and, and people probably say stuff like his aides and he's probably, he makes that same goddamn joke every time when he's like saving it for later. I think as far as like food being stuck in beard, there's nothing more disgusting than meat. Like it just like a piece of meat, like a string of chicken or something. Oh yeah.
00:26:59
Speaker
Uh, or, or, uh, anything that's pickled. Like a European person with one of those like pickled herrings. Yep. And like a little piece, like a little fleck of herring gets caught in the beard. Ah.
00:27:24
Speaker
Yeah. I imagine like a, like a Norwegian person on a boat with like a fish tail, like sticking out of the beard. All right. All right, guys. So Dan, coaster wise, what are you excited about for 2021?
Amusement Park Excitement and Disappointments
00:27:51
Speaker
Uh,
00:27:54
Speaker
If I had the option to go to California, I would just because I want to go back to magic mountain, but I don't know. I just want shit to happen. I don't know. I want to do something, but I'm at that point where it's like everything is closed around me. And so there's I'm pretty much stuck with everything in Texas right now.
00:28:19
Speaker
That's like the kind of like double edged sword about like being in like an enthusiast in Texas. Cause like you get year round operations, but then there's literally nothing else like completely around you. Like the nearest good park is silver dollar city. And it's like seven hours away from where I live and frontier cities, like three, but it's like, that's about it for like hours. Yeah.
00:28:49
Speaker
but I'm excited for Aquaman Power Wave in 2022. Oh shit. I totally forgot about that ride. West coast racers ain't got shit on Aquaman. Two years late. I need to look up the promo video of that.
00:29:10
Speaker
I mean, it's, it's, it's pretty huge actually. Like it, you can see it from pretty much anywhere in the park, which is pretty cool, but it's, it does get pretty annoying seeing it like every day and it's just sitting there and it's already been there for a whole year. So right. Yeah. So are they going to add the loop to it? No, they're just going to add a turntable.
00:29:36
Speaker
Boring. I know. Where's the 300 foot loop? Were they going to do a loop on it? No, they were just, they just, it was supposed to open this year, but then since we got the new president who actually gives a shit about the park, he's like, Oh, one boat in Texas, that's not going to work. Two boats. So now they have to put a whole extra year on that, which I'm,
00:30:04
Speaker
I mean, I get that they're doing it for the better, but at the same time it's, you shouldn't have fucked up in the first place. Yeah, right. I don't understand how it takes them a year to get a turntable and a boat when they had fucking Mavericks heartline role replaced in like three days. Oh yeah. Well, also because like, since it's a mock ride thing, they have to like wait until COVID is better before they can go come up here and fix it.
00:30:36
Speaker
Yeah, that makes sense. But it's crazy to think about that when it opens, it's going to be the tallest and fastest mock in the country. Oh, really? So how tall is that one? It's one hundred and forty something feet and it goes 63 miles per hour. Wait, that's the tallest and fastest. What what coaster? Mock rides. Oh, OK. Yeah. I mean, the second time traveler.
00:31:07
Speaker
Yeah, we we just need some mocks in the country. It's a shame they're so expensive. Yeah, they need one at Mount Olympus. Dude, they tried to rip off mock rides with that fucking water coaster, remember? Yeah. Yeah, that was. They had a water coaster.
00:31:33
Speaker
Yeah, it was so bad. Dive to Atlantis. Oh, wait, I think I, I, I know which one you're talking about. Do you remember who that was made by? Cause it was, um, I think it was made by a couple of crack heads that live adjacent to Lake Delton. That sounds all right. Oh, it was a miler. Oh my God.
00:32:04
Speaker
Yeah. Huh. I mean, that sounds about right for that coaster. They're like, hey, Myler, do you guys make water coasters? And they're like, no. They're like, well, can we just buy one of your coasters and put some water on it? And they're like, no.
00:32:21
Speaker
And they're like, okay, well, we'll take one of your coasters with a very simple layout. In fact, if you can make it as much like a log flume as possible, that'd be great. And they're like, okay, but you're not going to put it in water, are you? And they're like, of course not. I completely forgot that right existed.
00:32:42
Speaker
Yeah. And apparently, so this is a rumor, but it wouldn't surprise me if it was true. Um, that one of the rails, like the side rails for the track, I guess became disconnected. And so they found it and shut down the ride. And I guess that was the straw that broke the camel's back. But yeah, imagine him like being in a log. And if, you know, like if the log hit, hit a side rail and like how you just immediately get ejected.
00:33:12
Speaker
It'd be such a horrible accident. That doesn't sound too fun. Seems like the type of thing that it's very surprising hasn't happened as far as public knowledge goes at Mount Olympus. Yeah.
00:33:35
Speaker
I mean, it's, I haven't been there, but it looks, it looks like one of those parks where it's like interesting to view like at one time, like to go to what once and then never again. Yeah, pretty much. It's um,
00:33:53
Speaker
It's, uh, I do like thinking back more now, like from like older memories of the place. It is kind of cool because it's so, uh, it's very similar to action park, especially in its older days.
00:34:08
Speaker
Like it looks cool. And like the theme, like if they just went harder on the theming, then it would be like, I don't know. I'm just such a sucker for theming. They had they have to. You have to turn a couple of pages for that theming to catch up to anything reasonable because their theming was literally like like blown foam into like. Airbrushed like textures and stuff, you know, so it really wasn't theming. It was like.
00:34:38
Speaker
At least good architecture or fake architecture. Yeah, yeah, it's like all fake. Yeah, but I mean, it's so crazy like. Here's the thing about Mount Olympus that I realized. If you wanted the perfect amusement park.
00:34:58
Speaker
to go and in a very public and dramatic fashion commit suicide, it would be the perfect place. If you wanted the perfect park to go to and very publicly and dramatically kill yourself,
00:35:21
Speaker
Oh, I see what you're saying. Not Olympus would be perfect because a there's no security there and be like, if you wanted to like off yourself with a coaster, easy. Jump a fence. You're done easy. You know, true. Or just go to a B and M invert. Yeah. Lose a hat. But I don't think that was ever intentional. I'm saying if your intent was like, all right, it's my last day here. True.
00:35:53
Speaker
I mean, I'm glad it doesn't happen to people who visit the park hoping to have a good time. Mm hmm. What? I'm saying people who go to the park for fun. Someone goes to Mount Olympus and they're like, this place sucks and I hate my life. I should kill myself. Yeah, not to be too dark, but you know what I mean? It's the place is that bad.
00:36:24
Speaker
It is, and it might make you want to kill yourself. There's something pretty amazing that that hasn't happened. Like, I mean, not even not just not just to get away from suits, I see just like freak accidents. You know what I mean? Like, I know like the place has had a lot of accidents, but. I mean. There's never really been a major one, which is pretty shocking, but then they're like indoor coaster killer guy.
00:36:56
Speaker
Yeah, I suppose it's pretty big. Just a little bit. They're like the coaster didn't kill anybody. He killed himself. It was suicide. No, just me? All right.
00:37:22
Speaker
I'm really glad I could bring everybody down tonight. That's a skill that I love to possess. It's really useful. It's all good. Ladies. No, I'm just thinking about that park and getting sat too. All right. Well, don't go there. Here's the thing. We'll say this. If you're sad, don't go to an Olympus.
00:37:51
Speaker
Yeah, it's a pretty disappointing place to go anyway. Who wants to go to Wisconsin anyway? Who shots fired? I'm just saying this because I've never been and I just don't see any reason to go there except for maybe Mount Olympus. But I, I literally don't know anything about that state. So I wouldn't know. It's a, it's a good nature state.
00:38:19
Speaker
Oh, okay. So like Montana or something, but we're like not mountain nature. It's like, uh, it's got, I don't know. It's the Midwest. It's got its own thing as far as cities go though. Yeah. There's really not much going on over there besides anything in Milwaukee, which.
00:38:37
Speaker
walking Chicago or like the pretty much the same Metro. Here's, okay. Here's Wisconsin. Okay. If you like to get drunk and go hunting, holy shit, you're going to love fucking Wisconsin. Yep. Yeah. I feel like a lifestyle and a dark tavern. That's a state for you. I mean, that sounds pretty interesting, but, uh,
00:39:07
Speaker
I don't know. Yeah. Otherwise you got little America. Bay beach is, um, okay for like 15 minutes. It's a, it's kind of charming, but it's super small. Yeah. I wish there was some more of those kind of parks in Texas, like small, like family parks. Yeah. There needs to be more of those. Is that one wonderland still open?
00:39:34
Speaker
Yes. I'm pleased. It's cool. There was a there was like a rumor that I found on Reddit today that they were going to get a relocated Vekoma suspended coaster from Taiwan. And it turned out like they goofed with their social media team and they were just announcing that they repainted one of their their wild mouse coasters and they accidentally used a stock photo of that coaster in Taiwan.
00:40:03
Speaker
And so like someone like screenshotted it and then they pointed it out and took it down. So I got sent to it, like on a, a different server on discord today. And they were just like, yo, and I was like, damn, I was more hyped for this shit than Aquaman. Yeah, I imagine LDR enthusiasts take things way too fucking seriously. I know. I was, I was, I got hyped for a few seconds and then I got disappointed.
00:40:34
Speaker
But oh, well, I'm just I'm just still kind of bitter that there was a suspended coaster at Astroworld and I didn't get to ride it. Yeah, that should look dope. I know. And half of the train was backwards. I was like, like, what the fuck? I remember really hoping I think all of us did back in the day that they were going to relocate that to Six Flags, St. Louis. And they were like, no. Oh, that's right.
00:41:04
Speaker
Because that was a rumor in St. Louis, because they have all that space like in the fucking woods. Mm hmm. The suspended coaster needs to make a comeback one way or another. Watch RMC unveil some like. Fucking regurgitated arrow idea. Oh, yeah, of the individual suspended coaster with the vertical drop.
00:41:33
Speaker
Right. With a one car train, one seat, but it swings. Well, maybe the access coaster is the the new, you know, the new generation of suspended. Well, they need to get on that shit. I want to ride it. Let's see if one ever gets built. I mean, here's the cost for Fiesta Texas.
00:42:03
Speaker
Like, imagine if you just threw one of those S&S cars on, I don't know, just say the back of Steel Vengeance. Let's just say you could. Oh, Jesus Christ. You know what I'm saying? Like, if you combine those two ride experiences together, I think like coaster enthusiasts would literally jizz themselves. You know what I mean? That'd be the craziest thing ever. And that might be the future. So that's kind of cool.
00:42:31
Speaker
So basically RMC with better trains. Yeah. So like the intensity of RMC coasters, but then with that whole free spin element to things. Oh, okay. I thought you were just talking about like just SNS looper trains. I was confused for a second. Oh no, that'd be cool too though. Yeah. I want to see him do an axis coaster.
00:43:02
Speaker
on a 4D layout. Not a 4D free spin layout, but like X2. Well, you know those kind of like Ferris wheels where it's like the car goes upside down and it flips as it goes around? It would probably be something like that. Yeah. Because I feel like in the Raven turns, that shit would be nuts.
00:43:34
Speaker
Would you just, um, you mean like the free, you mean like the access trains doing like a Raven turn? Yeah. Yeah. Cause it would be like one of those things called those diver thingies. Oh, right. Yeah. Yeah. They're like the Ferris wheels, but the cars rotate in a different way. Yeah. Yeah. It would be like that. But like with all that fucking G force and speed,
00:44:03
Speaker
Oh, yeah, you'd probably like flip like three or four times just in like a second. Yeah, that'd be pretty cool. That would guarantee a blackout. So here's the thing about. So the go back to the access coaster. I've heard people say, and I don't know if this is just misquoted or misunderstood or something, but people always say that they're like, yeah, they control the spin completely.
00:44:32
Speaker
as in there's like a mechanism in the train that does it. But it's my understanding that it was like momentum gravity. Yeah, I thought those are free spinning. Yeah. And maybe maybe what they mean is when they say they control it, like they control it like how they design the track. But or or like with magnets.
00:45:00
Speaker
Right. So I want. Yeah, I guess I don't remember seeing them in the. In the. Oh, you know what, maybe it's like magnets that control a sensor that change the intent, like the resistance. Maybe I could have sworn I saw it like a video somewhere. Someone was explaining how the ride worked and they said they used magnets. So, huh. Fucking magnets, how do they work?
00:45:29
Speaker
But I wonder if it means like magnets on a track controlling something. Like I literally wish I knew how this ride works. It's like fascinating. Oh, like the, the track thickness like has the magnet. And so it like it does something like that. Yeah. Like if that was linked to the resistance.
00:45:52
Speaker
Yeah. Like on this one curve, it like stops. And so it's like laterals and then it like lets you go on another part and then it flips. Yeah, but I don't think so. I don't know. If you watch that artwork, the rendering of the full layout, like all the flips seem to come, like they all seem to have a consistent weight to them.
00:46:22
Speaker
Mm hmm. And I suppose on that on that lift hill part, it shows them like free spinning. It's just like the angle, the angle that it goes up it like all the weight of the passengers is like keeping it at that angle until it flips up and around and then it's like moving. Yeah, I I I bet there's something maybe with. Sensors that lock it.
00:46:49
Speaker
Like you were saying, like if like it locks it for part of a turn and then it unlocks it. So it has that momentum to like flip it. Yeah, probably. Cause I know like spinning wild mouse coasters do that shit.
00:47:06
Speaker
Oh, like the, like, what are those? Like, uh, prima vera world, that Disney world where it's like, it doesn't spin and then it hits like a break and then it starts spinning and it could be some like kind of the same thing. Yeah. Those things are, haven't been on one of those in a while.
00:47:34
Speaker
Oh, they have one at the state fair at Texas and it's like, it's pretty cool. Oh, the traveling one. Yeah. There's a, there's a traveling one. I've been on it in Minnesota and it probably had the craziest spin. Oh, you know what? Hold on really quick. You know what? Spin was really underrated was actually raging Cajun. I've heard a great America, like thinking back on it, that was actually a pretty crazy wild mouse.
00:48:04
Speaker
Yeah, it's crazy. I liked it. I think I preferred it to dark night. Oh yeah. And then once they added that single rider line, it was actually kind of fun to go ride. I actually, I probably wrote it every visit when they had that line. Yeah, that was dope. Cause they got on it in like less than five minutes. Yeah.
00:48:29
Speaker
Remember waiting in that like whole queue line a bunch of time not even the whole queue line like that long stretch of just before the station Yeah, and it would take like 30 minutes. Yeah, just in that stretch and it'd be like oh my god When did that leave Great America? 2016 one of those two
00:48:56
Speaker
So did Great America have two wild mouse coasters at the same time? Yeah. What the fuck? For a couple for a while from 2008 until I think 2016. Yeah. Damn. So they got rid of the better one of the two. Go figure. Oh, how how good is the Dark Knight one? Not. Yeah.
00:49:24
Speaker
No, because amazingly, having a coaster theme to a movie that's old and hasn't kept up in relevancy doesn't really work. Oh, yeah. Maybe they should phase that kind of stuff out and just go for just like, I think you mentioned that on like a previous episode, like just make it like generic Batman instead of like Batman this movie. Yeah.
Creative Ride Concepts and Coaster Discussions
00:49:50
Speaker
Yeah, that would be way better.
00:49:53
Speaker
Or like a, like the techno cube idea where it's just techno music and fog lights and strobe lights. That would be a fun ride. Yeah. That that's all you need. Just let Mark Z have his way with it. Yeah. Have the led flashers like under the track and then cover all the supports, make them flash at different times. So it looks like you're crashing into things or have it sync with the music. Yeah. Yeah.
00:50:23
Speaker
Yeah. Have like KCL do a lighting package on the track so that way it was like illuminating as you're going around like right in front of you. Yeah. Hold on. Yeah. What the fuck? Six Flags is dropping the ball in this EDM was pretty big and I guess it still is pretty big. It is. Yeah. They just need an EDM themed ride and it'd be so fucking cheap and so much cheaper than licensing and it'd be hit. I mean, Wallaby Holland did it with their boomerang.
00:50:52
Speaker
Oh, that's right. It's like an EDM just themed boomerang that's always like playing like it has like its own theme song that it plays in the station and then the beat drops right when it drops you. And like the whole like station was like themed to like musical notes and instruments and shit like like giant drums and stuff. It was the coolest boomerang I've ever been on and it had best restraints. So it was it was amazing.
00:51:22
Speaker
Damn. I feel like I don't know if Six Flags would do all that. Well, yeah, I mean, easily take the existing Dark Knight, take out the crappy Batman theming, replace the pre-show with a generic like DJ guy. Yeah, David Guetta. Call the ride the night. Just just cover dark.
00:51:51
Speaker
And then cover a K. Yeah. Or just call it dark night, but like night. Yeah. Yeah. The dark night, the ride or call it N I T E to be cute.
00:52:07
Speaker
Call it Ignite. But no, they could do that really easily. The pre-show is at like a really shitty night nightclub, but with an N-I-T-E. And then it's just like, oh, hey, your your cab's almost here to take you to the great club or some shit like that. I don't know. And then they totally they totally rip off the rock and roller coaster theme. Exactly.
00:52:37
Speaker
And instead of just instead of just like Aerosmith, it's like David Guetta or something. They wouldn't pay for that. It would just be a DJ. Yeah, just the DJ. It'd be like DJ six. Yeah. Did this hang salami or salami? Yeah. Is he on Twitter? Is he still the president? Yeah, I think so.
00:53:05
Speaker
Yeah, he needs to hear this idea. The Dark Knight. Come on, coronavirus hit them pretty hard. They need to, you know, save some cash, drop the licensing, drop the theming and just set up some DJ shit for like.
00:53:26
Speaker
I'm 100% for this and have Mark Z do it. And your boy right here, I produced music. I'll get you guys an original for cheap. It's a good idea. Hosted by DJ Six. And it's like Mr. Six just as a DJ with headphones around his neck. A bloody nose. No, this is for families.
00:53:56
Speaker
Yeah, maybe just a little powder. He just ate a funnel cake. Come on. That could even be an idea for the video to like the intro where it's like him like like shaking his head, he lifts his head up and it's full of powdered sugar. And he's like, don't worry, I just had a funnel cake. Now that I'm charged up, I'm ready to DJ.
00:54:25
Speaker
And then it's just, we like to party, but like, dude, actually that's even better idea. They could just paint the cars to make them look like the six flags boss. Yeah. Yo, Mr. Six is, uh, it's like, yeah, Mr. Six, six is dark night.
00:54:49
Speaker
Yeah, he's drunk driving through the city of Chicago. And he's racing to get to his event. It's like rock and roller coaster with Aerosmith going to the concert. It's him driving to Six Flags.
00:55:10
Speaker
Yes. In the show, he wakes up. It's the pre-show. He just like wakes up in the bus. He's like, oh, hi, didn't see you there. Yeah, that's the scene with the powder sugar all over his face. He's like, don't worry, it was just a funnel cake.
00:55:24
Speaker
Oh no, don't sleep, don't sleep in a funnel cake. Don't pass out in a funnel cake. He's asleep behind the wheel. That's the opening shot. But the park, the bus is parked and then he's like, and he's like, Oh, ho, ho, hold on a second. And then he like ducks down off screen and you hear him go like, hmm. And then he comes back up and his face is covered in powdered sugar. He's like, sorry, just having a little bit of breakfast.
00:55:58
Speaker
Yeah, that'd be so good. And then just the entire ride, it's just like the neon colors of the logo, just like flashing to the beat of the song. Yeah. And like the way they play Ecuador at Riddler's Revenge, they have like an extended mix of we like to party, just looping.
00:56:20
Speaker
You can sell those paper distortion glasses for like two bucks or five bucks. Oh yeah. The way Cedar Point used to. Yeah. For disaster transport. There are so many ideas. Yeah. Ditch the dark night. Fuck that ride. Seriously. They, they are, they are missing out on a gold mine.
00:56:48
Speaker
I mean, didn't they already have like a Mr. Six themed coaster, but it was like a Gerstlauer spinning coaster? It was a- Yeah, yeah, Mr. Six's Pandemonium, but that was a re-theme because they stopped paying for Tony Hawk. Oh, yeah. Yeah. It was Tony Hawk's big spin. I still call it that. Yeah, yeah. And then they were like, you know what? That's expensive. So how about Mr. Six's Pandemonium?
00:57:18
Speaker
And then they're like, you know what? Fuck that old bus creeper. How about just pandemonium? Oh my god.
00:57:26
Speaker
I once got a comment on my YouTube channel about like this lady was like preaching about God or whatever. And she was just like, they have at six flags over Texas, they have two devil themed rides, one called El Diablo and pandemonium, pan demon. Is it making sense? Now there needs to, and like she,
00:57:50
Speaker
It was a huge ass paragraph about like God and Six Flags or some shit like that. It was so weird. Wow. I just remembered at Six Flags over Texas. I heard somebody called Pandemonium the Twix ride. It probably was covered in like Twix advertisements. Yeah, I couldn't figure out which ride the Twix ride was until we were queued up for it. And then I was like, oh,
00:58:19
Speaker
the Twix ride. So just like an update, the I don't think the bourbon is watered down. I like how we're getting the general well being update from Ben. Hey, so as it turns out, I actually am getting buzzed.
00:58:47
Speaker
That's when I realized I shouldn't have chugged. No, I didn't, I didn't chug it. I mean, it didn't seem like it was weak. It just, I think it's that smooth. It just has no flavor. It's just not interesting. You just can't make up your damn mind about this shit. You're like, it sucks. And then you're like, well, maybe it's just incredibly smooth. And then you're like,
00:59:15
Speaker
Yeah, it's really smooth. So it's like, it's not a compliment. No, no, no, but that's not a compliment. Like I'm not saying that's good because it's smooth. I'm just pointing out that it's smooth. Like that's not a good thing. It's just an observation. Like, yeah, like I don't think smooth is more important than flavor and overall, like overall flavor, flavorless and smooth. You might as well just have like, you know, fancy vodka.
00:59:46
Speaker
But I don't know vodka. It's not your favorite bourbon sucks. Not yet. Especially cause I'm not even drinking tonight. What's wrong with me? That's good. Take a break. Water's amazing. I don't even have that. I guess I'm just parched over here. What the fuck is wrong with me?
01:00:15
Speaker
You got a bubbler in your bathroom. A bubbler? I don't know. I was trying to make a joke about the toilet. Don't start with that shit again, Ben. This isn't the first time. Fucking who calls a water fountain a fucking bubbler?
01:00:41
Speaker
I thought you meant like a bubbler for weed. Exactly. A bubbler is like a tiny bong. Yeah. So imagine my surprise with the first time we're at Great America and Ben goes, hold on, I got to use the bubbler. And I'm like, what? Just like he just he just brought a whole glass bubbler in his pocket.
01:01:05
Speaker
That's what I was expecting. I was like, Jesus, Ben goes ham and then he goes over to take a sip of water. And I'm like, so did you like fill it up or something? He's like, what? Regional like keyword differences are not that interesting. You're just trying to deflect from the fact that you say fucking bubbler in place of water fountain. Do you also call soda pop?
01:01:35
Speaker
That depends on where you are. Like, um, I say both like, uh, like if I was in Minnesota or Ohio, I would say pop just because it's like, yeah, you learn, you learn how not to stick out. Okay. You know, like in the Midwest, it's like Wisconsin is the soda bubble and then it's surrounded by pop. So.
01:01:59
Speaker
OK, I need to go to the Midwest. I the last time I've been was Pennsylvania like seven years ago. That's not the Midwest, but that's the closest I've been to the Midwest. Well, here's my long term real estate prediction is that with all the wildfires out West and the climate change and droughts and stuff, eventually the Midwest will be appealing because it has tons of fresh water and it's super cheap.
01:02:30
Speaker
Yeah, maybe. Everyone from California is moving to Texas. And Colorado, they're moving like everywhere. It's like a virus. California. And uh, Northeast coasters too. Oh, okay. Does any, any high population area people are just kind of scattering around? Well, yeah. Cause who wants to live in places that crowded? I can never live in LA.
01:03:03
Speaker
I'd love to live in Illinois. I mean, yeah, but it's like it's just the idea of paying for five dollars for a gallon of gas does just not appeal to me at all. I'm such a cheapskate. That's just because have you have you lived in like a big city? I mean, I've lived in Dallas for like a year. Like three years of living there relative.
01:03:34
Speaker
Um, it's a little bit more in the city, but it's just like overall cheaper, especially like in Denton where I'm living at right now. It's pretty decent. Okay. Yeah. I have no frame of reference because everything in Chicago costs a fuck ton. Oh yeah. So like everything in Texas is fucking cheap to me. True. Yeah.
01:04:08
Speaker
Yeah. Check out Chicago, too. Yeah. Yeah. Well, bring bring money. Yeah. I get to say that the West Coast in general, because Seattle is super expensive. It's like housing is a little bit cheaper than San Francisco, but it's just you get hit with so much like I would go to the grocery store and I'd be like, all right, I need, you know, some cheese, some milk, some fruit, vegetables and like the grocery bill is always like 80 dollars.
01:04:38
Speaker
Um, just like all the food is just ridiculous. Milk was like seven bucks a gallon. Jesus. Were you going to fucking whole foods? No, no, no. This was, uh, this was safe way, which sucks, but I dunno food. Everything was just expensive. Like you go out to dinner there and you get a burger and a beer. And with tip, it was like 50 bucks.
01:05:10
Speaker
So at my, my neighborhood bar, the place that was a block away from my apartment and I had the place that I would go to all the time. Cause it was so convenient. It was like, yeah, the burger was like $19, $20 not uncommon. The beer is like seven, eight bucks. There's a,
01:05:32
Speaker
there's a like minimum wage fee. So that's usually around $4 and then the tip. So it adds up quick. Oh my God. You said that was Seattle. Yeah. Yeah. Jesus Christ. Yeah. Now like it's so nice being back in Denver because it's a lot cheaper.
01:06:02
Speaker
I can imagine Denver is nice. Denver living is pretty much relative to Chicago, right? What was it? Denver cost of living is pretty much equal to Chicago, right? Um, your rents, your rent is probably going to be more expensive. Um, yeah, everything else is pretty much the same.
01:06:35
Speaker
Nice. God damn. Cause like with our taxes being so high in Chicago. Yeah. Bet that kind of makes it balances it out. Yeah. Right. Well, that was the one thing with Seattle too. There was no state income tax. Nice. So, um, I guess, yeah. And I can bear to an expensive state. It's a nice change.
01:07:04
Speaker
So it makes sense that other taxes and other other things are more, a little more expensive. Adulting is hard. Yeah. Welcome back to a, your favorite responsibilities suck. I'm not even gonna go into a house hunting tangent. So let's talk about, um,
01:07:34
Speaker
Aquaman. Which one? The, uh, the mock. Oh yeah. It looks pretty cool, but if the problem is it just, it looks like it won't even crack top 10 in the park. It's a great supporting coaster.
01:07:58
Speaker
Yeah. And it's, I suppose it is technically or yeah, it is a coaster. I'm not going to get into that. It is a coaster. Nah, it's, it's 140 something feet tall. It is a coaster. Yeah. Yeah. Like I will fight whoever claims that it isn't a coaster because a new credit at my home park is a fucking credit.
01:08:22
Speaker
So with the turntable, do you think they're going to turn one boat one way and one the other way? I think that's how they're going to do it. Yeah. So like, well, it's like the same thing as Mr. Freeze. So like, well, one is going, the other is like loading. And then when it's done, they like switch. Right. I guess I mean like, but like directional, like could you ride it forward and backwards? Uh, I think they would always go the same way.
01:08:54
Speaker
Yeah. But I mean, that would be kind of cool though. Like a, like an airtime hill and then the splash, but I think it would always go that one direction. Oh no. I meant like the boat. So if there's two boats, like they literally just have one, you know, there's really no forward or backward, but like they would just go different. They would face different ways. Oh, okay. Maybe I have no idea. That'd be pretty cool.
01:09:20
Speaker
Like if Mr. Freeze only turned one train around, I think that would have been, that would have been cool. Yeah. But it, we'll just have to see what happens with it. I mean, it, it, it looks like a wonderful addition to the park.
01:09:42
Speaker
Yep. And also it is the it is the nicest looking coaster in the park because it's the it's the only coaster with a paint job in the last 10 years. So. Damn. Yeah, I bet. Well, it does look really cool. It does. That one's going to be really cool to see in person.
01:10:08
Speaker
Oh yeah. Like there's actually like a whole, like the entrance to pandemonium is like now a splash zone. Okay. So, but it's, it's crazy how like it's just like crammed in there and it's like you walk right under like the spike to go to the kids area. It's, it's so weird how they just slammed that there. That's yeah, it's cool. They pulled it off. Oh yeah.
01:10:36
Speaker
And I can't wait for 2023 for it to finally open. I thought they said 2025. Maybe 2030, who knows at this point. Which coaster is that? West Coast Racers? Jason Momoa? Wait, West Coast Racers? I'm lost.
01:11:05
Speaker
Iron Glozzy. Oh, okay. Flying Turns. Flying Turns now too. Don't you remember Flying Turns took like 60 years to open? Oh yeah. They started building it in like the 30s and then in the 2000s they opened it. Right, yeah.
01:11:36
Speaker
That's the thing about that ride is like they were like, oh, nobody's built one of these since the 30s. I think in actuality, they were working on one the entire time. Probably. It just took them that long to build it because it was just one guy. Exactly. Building the entire ride. His entire life, and then he died right before it opened. Grandpa Knobel's legacy.
01:12:07
Speaker
Well, I'm sure there's like a much more strict codes to follow too. What do you mean we have to do calculations? It's going to go down this hill here and around this turn. You've been on a water slide, right? Well, it's like that, but a roller coaster.
01:12:33
Speaker
Yeah. And like later on they hired fucking Steve Okamoto to do the trains, which is like, why would you do that? Right. Yeah. Yeah. If there's anyone you shouldn't hire to do a roller coaster train.
01:12:52
Speaker
Like say, uh, your resume is really impressive. We see you've worked with Morgan for a long time and you also were the chief developer of steel dragon, 2000s original trains. He's like, that's correct. They're like the one that hooked a wheel and almost killed somebody. It's like that. That's right. They're like, well, you're perfect. I don't see what's going to hold this project up from opening. Little did they know.
01:13:24
Speaker
Give me one minute. Ben has exactly one minute on the clock. We're counting down. We're counting down all the seconds. So, Dan. Yes. I've caught a lot of shit for this. Yeah. But I'll say it. Okay. Six flags over Texas. Shockwave is the best coaster.
01:13:50
Speaker
I'm saying it's the, like it has everything you could want on a coaster, like inversions, extreme positives and extreme negatives. Like, like one of the most powerful loops on any coaster, 5.9 G's. And then one of the crazes, like the craziest fucking favorite time ever.
01:14:15
Speaker
And like, I just realized from, um, excuse me, uh, I know coaster studios like recently just did like a re-review of it. And so, uh, he like pointed out on the drops, like lift your feet up off the ground. And so I've been doing that and it's just like, it actually is like kind of terrifying at the same time. Cause it's just like your entire body just goes up and you're not just like standing.
01:14:43
Speaker
Yeah, like that is legit stand up air time in that second drop. Mm hmm. And it's just like it like shouldn't be allowed, but it is. And that's why I love it so much. Oh, and Shockwave. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, like, you know, that was a fuck up like it was not intended to be that way. That was the magic of coasters before computers.
01:15:13
Speaker
Yeah, that's, that's pretty much why it's like so good, like unintentionally good. Yeah. But it's, I try to ride it every time I go to the park, but most of the time I can't even get past like three rides just because it's like so intense. Nobody rides it, right?
01:15:38
Speaker
Yeah. Like you can, every time I go, I can just like sit in the same car or just like move into a different row, which is pretty awesome. And I know that's partially because it actually is harder to find the Narnia. What you don't study for the maps for 12 hours before you go. Dude, I was so goddamn lost walking around six legs over Texas.
01:16:05
Speaker
Yeah, it's it's a weird play out. There's a lot of dead ends. I was like, I was so fucking lost. Yeah, it's crowded and it's fright fest. And God, Texas ass everywhere. Oh, yeah. There's some interesting people that go at six flags over Texas.
01:16:34
Speaker
I also remember we waited longer to get through security than we did for any ride. Oh yeah. What was the longest line you waited for? Um, like overall. Yeah. Titan probably. Really? Yeah.
01:16:56
Speaker
I don't know. Every time I see Titan, it's like a walk-on for like a station wait. It's always giant, the Vibra and Riddler's Revenge that have the longest lines in the entire park. I feel like I waited a long time for Mr. Freeze once. Oh yeah, Mr. Freeze too. That one gets a long line too, a lot.
01:17:21
Speaker
Oh, the other thing is I'll be full disclosure. We had our, um, what's it called membership? They give you the fast passes you can use. So we use those for giant and Mr. Freeze. Oh yeah. So I don't know what the lines like were for those. Oh, okay. Yeah. Those, those get the worst lines throughout the entire day, regardless of how slow it is.
01:17:50
Speaker
Well, just because like the Vibra is horrible capacity. Yeah. And really sucks. Yeah, it does suck. But it's interesting. It's very unique. But a new coaster over that spot would be better.
01:18:12
Speaker
Yeah, it'll be a great removal from the part. But like there was a rumor that there was supposed to tear down the Vibra and both log flumes and put a hyper coaster that goes over the entrance, but
01:18:28
Speaker
since the new park president cares about like with presentation and everything. So they are like, let's open all the rides. And so they've been flooding out. Yes. Excuse me. They've been draining out Yosemite Sam because it was flooded and then they've been fixing the log flumes and they're also free opening custom magnetica at the crooked house. So.
01:18:51
Speaker
It's cool that they're like reopening everything that's been like SBNO, but it also is kind of like a new coaster would have been cool, too. But oh, well. I mean, hyper coaster would be kind of redundant there. Titan is already really awesome, surprisingly. Well, like an air time focused hyper.
01:19:17
Speaker
Because that's the only thing Six Flags over Texas is really lacking is like floater air time. Like the best floater air time hill is that one hill on Titan. Yeah, it's a good hill. Yeah, but Titan Titan's pretty good, though. Yeah. But I was expecting Goliath and I was blown the fuck away. Oh, yeah. Every time I've been to Magic Mountain, Goliath was closed and it's
01:19:47
Speaker
I really want to get on it. Yeah, you're going to be like, you'll write it and you'll be like, God, I love Titan. Yeah, I want that experience to where I can actually appreciate my home park hyper coaster more. That's saying like Elias definitely has the better helix, but I think just the upward helix makes Titan the better ride. Oh, like, absolutely. It almost doubles the ride. Oh yeah.
01:20:18
Speaker
Cause like I would be pretty disappointed if Goliath with my home park hyper, because like, it's like that first half just goes by way too quick. Yeah. Also like there's actual fucking air time on the one on Titan. Oh yeah. Like the first drop has air time actually coming out of the turnaround head air time in the back row. Oh yeah.
01:20:45
Speaker
And then the bunny hill did too, whereas on Goliath, I've never gotten any air time on any of those spots. Yeah. But it's like the same thing with like Hershey park with sky Russian pandemonium. It's like, like,
01:21:02
Speaker
A lot of several people that I know compared Titan to Intimidator 305 and how it's like the reason why it's not more popular is because it's like too intense for the general public. And so they like everybody just goes to giant instead. Interesting. I guess I could see that because it's got the extra helix.
01:21:27
Speaker
And also cause like a lot of people talk about how like, Oh, I almost passed out and all this kind of stuff on the ride. So yeah. Yeah. I hear a lot of people talking at the park whenever I'm there. So it's like, you kind of get an idea of how the general public views that ride.
01:21:51
Speaker
Yeah, but it's super hot and everyone's all dehydrated. It's a blackout. Oh, for sure. That's why it's so good. Yeah. I've found out that the airtime is better in the front than the back. At least on the Hill. Oh yeah, I can see that.
01:22:17
Speaker
Yeah, because like in the back, by the time you get out of your seat airtime, it's like when the train already starts to bottom out. So random thought about Millennium Force. Yeah. So I heard from a few people that they prefer the middle because you have the most sustained airtime over the big bunny hills. Mm hmm. And I have to agree. Hmm.
01:22:49
Speaker
So I wonder if the same, what's, what's Titans middle? Like, uh, it's kind of like a good middle ground. I don't really ride in the middle that much unless there's like a lot of people in the station. Usually the middle has like the lowest line. Cause at the end of the day, it's just like saving time. I don't care. Yeah.
01:23:14
Speaker
But it's. Do you guys have do you guys have front row, back row bias? Like if you don't ride in the front of the back, you just feel a little disappointed. Kind of just a little bit, but it's just like. It's just like, oh, the ride is still good, but it it could be just a tiny bit better. It's like if you sit in the second row of the ride or like the second to last,
01:23:45
Speaker
Yeah, second to front is probably the worst row. Yeah, that happened to me at Georgia a couple of months ago. We were riding Goliath and like is the only coaster there being like weird about seat selection. And they're like, you can't wait for the front row. And so we're like, OK. And so they put us in row two. And it's like, fuck.
01:24:13
Speaker
And like I was explaining to Rhianne that because of like the zero car. It's really like you're in row three. Oh, yeah. Yeah. And it's like, damn it. I can imagine. Wasn't there a thing about raging bull in row three? I never like understood that. No, I've never heard that.
01:24:45
Speaker
Row three. There's an urban legend. It's not fucking Magna. Well, it's not. Well, OK, apparently Apollo's Chariot has a third row thing during the double down. But I think that maybe it would make more sense on the B&M hypers to have more air time. Yeah. But like I'm raging bull. It's only like, you know, the three air time moments, really.
01:25:14
Speaker
Yeah, that ride only has airtime in the front or the back. Braging bull looks like what Titan should have been. What was it? Raging bull looks like what Titan should have been. The raging bull is pretty dope. I've come to appreciate it more. Like honestly, I, I, if we had raging bull at over Texas, I wouldn't be mad at all.
01:25:44
Speaker
Like Texas in general just needs a new B and M so bad. Yeah. Yeah. They could use one. Yeah. Like one of those mini ones like a Mako. Yeah. I w I wouldn't be mad at all about that. Honestly. No, you know what Texas needs in terms of a B and M a Batman in the ride. Yes.
01:26:14
Speaker
Uh, uh, like ZDTs. Yep. Fuck it. Just like throw one in somewhere near the riverwalk and the Alamo just because it's a freestanding roller coaster.
01:26:40
Speaker
Maybe. Yeah. The. They should have an enclosed Batman, the ride. That would actually be kind of cool, like with like lights effects and stuff. Yeah. Or OK, one other thing I want to see. Remember in no limits, how you used to be able to select the entire track and tunnel it. Yeah.
01:27:11
Speaker
It would be great to see a Batman the ride or a random B&M be tunneled like that, even if it was in whatever concrete or sewer tunnel. The rider looked really ugly from the outside, but it'd be really awesome on the inside. It'd be like, um, Kraken in the second half. Yeah.
01:27:38
Speaker
I mean, that would be cool. Themed B&Ms are awesome. Yeah, the other thing that's under giant concrete tunnels.
01:27:53
Speaker
I'm sorry, that took me a second. But then I just pictured like fucking Riddler's Revenge with just concrete around the track. And I'm like, what the fuck are you talking about? Like, I don't know, nemesis is do like the nemesis ride, like do that kind of thing. But
01:28:19
Speaker
That was that was blown out of a actual wall. They didn't just put concrete around the track. I obviously wasn't talking about concrete, but some kind of structure wooden structure might work like the deja vu party deck, just party deck the whole coaster would be kind of cool. It's like, you know, that that tunnel on Iron Rattler just make that the whole ride. Yeah, that'd be fucking amazing.
01:28:48
Speaker
Ghost Rider it. Dude, that tunnel is scary. The Ghost Rider one? No, um, Iron Rattler. Oh, yeah. Cause it's pitch black during the day. That's what makes it awesome. Yeah. If there was, it would have been amazing if there was like one tiny little drop in that tunnel.
01:29:20
Speaker
That, that would have been freaky, but I'm still happy with it. Oh yeah. No, it's, it's still a really good ride. Oh yeah. Other than like the weird pre-lift section on top of the quarry, like the part where it just like flips to the side. Yeah. Oh, that's, it's like a cheap out. Are you talking about the wave turned down?
01:29:48
Speaker
No, it's like what, like before you dive off the wall and you just kind of like turn to the, to the left and then you turn to the right. And then, Oh yeah, it was like, um, like not so outward bank turns. Yeah. The problem is that it goes at those turns a little too slow. So it's just like, it doesn't feel like being popped out. It's just like awkwardly, just like, Oh, you're going to feel your neighbor beside you. You're just going to be on top of them for a second.
01:30:18
Speaker
Yeah, it feels exactly the same as like the prelifts normally do. Like, what's it called? Twisted Colossus. Oh, yeah. Like the way that one does, it feels the same as that where you're just like going over it slow enough where you're just kind of like, OK. They could have done the the triple helix up there. That would have been pretty cool.
01:30:48
Speaker
Oh, like how, how the original was. Yeah. Hmm. Maybe, but I dunno, I feel like what if RMCs are going too slow, then it's just like, cause it, it already goes slow enough on top of the ball. So it might just like, and it might just be like to, um, like awkwardly throwing to where like you would get sick.
01:31:16
Speaker
Yeah. Or a Jojo roll up there. Okay. That'd be cool though. Yeah, that would be pretty interesting. Or even one of like a really slow roll, you know, like close to the ground. Kind of like the slow B and M ones. Oh, like on Hydra. Yeah. That'd be cool.
01:31:48
Speaker
Just when his arm, so you're going to make an inverted coaster already. They got to make the one from that video single row, one seat. Everybody's going to line up for that. I think that'd be pretty cool with an insane flat to vertical drop.
01:32:15
Speaker
Well, I don't know that that drop looks so unnatural, just like you're just going straight horizontal and then you're curved 90 degrees down, like no gradual to it at all. It straight up looks like RCT. It's like you pivot in place. Like what's it called? The inverted hairpin. Oh, yeah. Well, that was a real, but that was a real coaster type.
01:32:44
Speaker
Oh, yeah. That was they had one traveling in France, I think. It looks like it looks awful. Oh, yeah. But still, it'd be nice to just like ride it and just be like, yo, I got that RCT credit. Yeah. Yeah, I went on that piece of shit. Why
Shoutouts and Gaming Discussions
01:33:10
Speaker
do you think no one wrote it in the game and in real life?
01:33:16
Speaker
Yeah, you could make those things awesome in the game and still people are like, man, this looks too intense for me. Thanks. Thanks. So Marcella Voss though. I know why. Oh yeah. Shout out to him. He's awesome. Yeah. I've binged all of his videos multiple times. Same is some good shit. I've, I've learned a lot myself that I never knew before.
01:33:47
Speaker
And that game has been a part of my life since I was like a fetus. Yeah. Yeah. I want to, I need to get back into it. I should have done that over quarantine. That would have been good. Did you, uh, you know, they have like the mobile version, right? Oh yeah. I do play that. Yeah.
01:34:11
Speaker
Yeah, that's pretty much what I've been playing lately for a while since my computer has been getting like slow as shit. So I had to delete steam and all my games. So I'm just playing it on my phone. The mobile one is actually pretty good though. Oh, it's super good. Yeah. You can get a launch done on the giga coaster model. That's right. Yep. And it goes 135 miles per hour. That's the best shit.
01:34:43
Speaker
Yeah, that's pretty, yep. I, I built some awesome coasters with that. Yeah. It's just like, once I unlocked the giga coaster, it's over for my park. I'm just going to build like a just launched a giga coaster that just goes 150 miles per hour. That just goes around the entire park, like twice in 30 seconds. I just opened my last save park and it's a launched giga coaster.
01:35:12
Speaker
Like just opened right up to it. That's the best as if on cue. I also like building really obscenely long arrow coasters with two block zones or like two mid course block zones. Just to be like a block block break. Oh, like OCD freak.
01:35:38
Speaker
Like they're going to be waiting at the chain lift for like 10 minutes. Well, no, I try to build, like trying to build them though. Like, so they're perfect. Like I'm talking like they're perfectly balanced by the second just for the satisfaction of like seeing it operate. It's pretty fun. Oh yeah. I don't know that I love how timeless that game is and it's just,
01:36:09
Speaker
I want to find Chris Sawyer and make it like get his autograph. I want to make him dinner. I don't know. I'm just going off on tangents at this point. What about a planet coaster? I never really got into that.
01:36:36
Speaker
It looks awesome, but I've never really had the chance to play it. It just seems like too, like, I don't know, like too complex for if that's the right word.
01:36:54
Speaker
It should, I don't know. I never really liked our RCT three from the beginning just because I didn't like how the graphics looked and everything. So once, if it's like in my stupid head, if it's not like RCT one or two graphics, then I don't really, it's irrelevant to me. Yeah. Right. Yeah. The RCT three was, um,
01:37:23
Speaker
I remember being really excited when I got it and then I got bored of it pretty quickly. I remember working my ass off for months just to get $60 as like a seven year old and finally buying it and then finding out your computer doesn't even work with it. My shitty ass like windows 98 block monitor computer didn't work with it. So
01:37:51
Speaker
I like wasted all that time and money for nothing. And then I played it a few years later and I was just like, man, this sucks.
Remixing and YouTuber Creativity
01:38:00
Speaker
The music isn't good. Yeah. The music is weird. Yeah. It's not as iconic. Oh, Zach. Yeah. I remembered something from before. Um, okay. So you know how you remix millennium forest station?
01:38:21
Speaker
Yeah. Have you ever remixed, uh, that we liked the party Vengaboy song? No, but Dan did. And I was on the track with that. Oh, that's right. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. The Six Flags diss track. That seems like such a fun song to rip on. It was a lot of fun to make. Yes.
01:38:52
Speaker
And then like car crash sound effects that'd be like the back to that dark ride ride. But now that you say it, maybe I'll do a bootleg.
01:39:13
Speaker
Do you think the Millennium Force Station and the Six Flags Vengaboys song could be mixed together? Is that possible? Do they have the geometry? Anything is possible. That could be an interesting bit for like a meme compilation. Yeah, for like a... No, not Cedar Flags. It'd be Six Fairs. Does Cedar Fair even have a theme song?
01:39:43
Speaker
Six Fairs. Was it the Cedar Fair even have a theme song? No, but Millennium Force Station music is the closest thing they have to like any music that's like there's, you know, like you identify with them. True. Actually, now that you said that, I'm thinking about it and it would probably sound pretty cool. Yeah, I think it in my head, it seems like, yeah,
01:40:14
Speaker
And I don't think there's a YouTube name taken for a cedar flat cedar flags is taken, but yeah, not six fairs. That or six that name sucks. It just sounds wrong. Yeah, it's bad. Yeah, that's what I'm saying. Like you have you remix of anger boys with the Millennium Force Station and your YouTube channel call it six fair. Hey, everybody, this is six fair.
01:40:42
Speaker
Oh, God, there's a lot of like really I'm not trying to be shady, but there's a lot of really bad like Coaster YouTuber names out there. I'm not going to name any names, but it's well, also because I can't remember any at the moment. But there were a lot that were just like, really, you're like one letter away from like air time thrills. Like, really?
01:41:07
Speaker
Hey everybody, it's Batman trims or batwing trims. Yeah. Some shit like that. It's like, I mean, I'm not hating or anything, but it's just like, really? Do you, I don't know. Like, Hey everybody, it's coaster cut liquor. CCL here.
01:41:37
Speaker
Yeah, every coaster name possible has probably been taken almost except for six fair. Take the shit out of that one. You better go register the dot com that. Because it's kind of like 4chan. Has that same right? God. It's like better get that Instagram title.
01:42:02
Speaker
Six fair can be the new home of the Q bot drops. I like it. Six fairs. I mean, that, that could be, that could be a funny like little mashup. Yeah, I like it. Sack let's do a remix. Six fair.
01:42:36
Speaker
That's exactly what I was hearing. So I'm going to step ahead of you. I already I'm already opening Ableton and putting them together. Oh, shit. Oh, shit, I'm slacking. Six Fair seems like if you were to write a comedy show about people who work in a theme park instead of Six Flags, it would like on the name tag, it said Six Fair.
01:43:04
Speaker
Six ribbons. Except anyone who worked at Six Flags would tell you the name would be Five Banners. Unless they don't have that part of the training anymore. Five Banners theme park. In which case, disregard, I'm old. Five Banners. Four signs. That was a part of the training when I worked there. About five.
01:43:32
Speaker
They would show disco Dan the bad ride operator working at five banners amusement park. Uh, okay. They didn't show us any of that. Oh, well you missed out on a rather shitty training tape. Damn that. I don't know. That sounds like it would have been fun. It was definitely like a corporate one though. Cause they were at magic mountain and everything. Oh,
01:43:57
Speaker
I don't know. Cause I, I've, I watched that, uh, documentary thing, not the PBS old, great old amusement parks video.
Reflections on Old Amusement Park Practices
01:44:06
Speaker
And I, and I watched it myself and that fucking shot where the guy guys were dancing on the carousel. Uh, it just like, it just made me think of that kind of shit.
01:44:21
Speaker
Just the at Playland. I think so. Yeah, when they were like running on and off. Yeah, it was that just looked so crazy to me because I would not fly at any park nowadays. Yeah, I'm curious if they still allow that.
01:44:44
Speaker
Yeah. Like I was like the operations and shit they were doing. It's like, none of that would fly anymore at any park. Well, maybe, but at least at a sex flags park, you would never see that shit there. Not to mention like, um, someone is going to have an accident at some point. Oh yeah. Maybe that's what made him stop. Yeah.
01:45:15
Speaker
Well, yeah, maybe maybe they were like, we're doing it until somebody cracks their head. And the next day somebody cracked their head. Shocked Pikachu face. Right. Yeah, dangerous. Yeah, we need a theme park expedition on that one or you know what I mean?
01:45:44
Speaker
I actually did find a video that exploit that went over that specific video and it was just like, this came out in 1999. What happened to everything in this video 20 years later? And then it just like talked about like what rides and stuff were removed and stuff like that. Yeah. It's a lot of them. Yeah. That sucks. Mm-hmm.
01:46:11
Speaker
Fuck tech. It's all text fault. I don't know. Yeah, it's all text fault. What?
01:46:32
Speaker
Okay, so I've put them together, and right now it sounds like shit, so I have to figure out what key they're in. Can you play it just for the hell of it? Oh my god, yes. I would, but I don't think it'll work. Well, maybe it will. Hold on. Alright, one sec. Let's see if I can get this to work here. Oh my god.
01:47:02
Speaker
Hold on. Alright. Hopefully this works. It's just going to be laptop speakers though. Wait, that didn't work. Let me try something else. Hold on.
01:47:33
Speaker
The suspense is killing me. I know. Right. I'm almost as excited about that. Do you remember? It was like an Eminem song with, uh, with like poker music. Um, I doesn't come to mind now.
01:47:58
Speaker
And speaking of which, I need to look up something video wise. It's on a similar topic. I mean, I'm in poker music. No, it's well, it's like there's just like it was as weird like video meme. It was like inappropriate things to put the Seinfeld theme song music to. Oh, yeah. Um.
01:48:27
Speaker
But I think it was like. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. It's Seinfeld music to a mosh pit. Oh, yeah. Or randomly, if you ever if you guys ever heard so quick update, I can't get it to work. My mic, when it's plugged in, I think it prevents my laptop speakers from playing. Oh, damn.
01:49:06
Speaker
but it's all good. We'll definitely hear it at some point when the episode drops. Yeah. Once I, once I, uh, it can be the closing music. Yes. Yeah. Once I figured out how to make it not sound like absolute dog shit, that's the point is for it to sound like dog shit. It's a, it's for six fairs intro music of what like, come on, six fair.
01:49:35
Speaker
And it should have a car crash sound effect after the bus horn. I don't know. Yeah. That's such a good idea. Maybe, maybe the, uh, the water down bourbon has something to do with the idea, but it just sounds really good. All right.
01:50:03
Speaker
It's your destiny, Ben. Make a channel called Six Faire. Six Faire. And then you just got to like your first video of your will be your top 10 coasters. And then it's just like all like one ride. It's just 10 different Magnum seats.
01:50:29
Speaker
Number 10, Magnum in the first seat. Number nine, Magnum in the fourth seat. Number seven, third row front or third car front row on the red train at night on the left. Yeah. In October at seven p.m.
01:50:53
Speaker
If you don't get this exact ride, it's horseshit and you'll never get a good ride. That could be a funny video. Yeah. I like it. Yeah.
01:51:13
Speaker
Oh, actually I found this, uh, it turns out I commented on, uh, a TPR video, uh, like 10 years ago and someone like just responded to it like a couple months ago. And so like, I commented on this, this theme park review video and it, I don't know when it's,
Backlash and Improvement Suggestions for Six Flags
01:51:36
Speaker
it was for like some random European coaster POV. And I commented on it and said, I want to go on a trip with you guys. Are you going to Texas anytime soon? And, and nine months ago, someone responded to that comment and said, did you ever get that trip bro?
01:52:01
Speaker
And someone else said, we need to know.
01:52:09
Speaker
And like, I don't know, it just like brought me back to like when I was 13 and like the time that I was in because like I was kind of casual on like theme park review, like on their forums and whatnot. But I knew that they did like group trips and stuff. And for me, like a 13 year old who was never going to convince my family to go to like Cedar Point or whatever. So it's just like, oh,
01:52:37
Speaker
could I do that? Like go with this group of like 40 something year old men. And I know knew my mom wouldn't let me do that. So that was, that never happened. Yeah. No, I went through the same thing. Oh yeah. Cause I was just like, Oh cool. They get, they're all a bunch of adults going on a trip together just to ride coasters. Oh my God. How do I join? Yeah.
01:53:06
Speaker
It is interesting how that seems really appealing when you're young. And then when you become those people's age, it's then you're just like, Oh yeah. An unsupervised 13 year old. Right. Yeah. That, that just thinking back at it, it's just, I, I'm just cringing so hard at that, but it's a time capsule for sure.
01:53:37
Speaker
Well, YouTube comments are also kind of in their own world of existence. Like nothing makes sense with YouTube comments. And there's this big mystery sometimes of like the person, like for some reason, YouTube comments are way more, um, anonymous of like, like they're not real people.
01:53:58
Speaker
Oh yeah. Sometimes. Yeah. Um, like that's like, we, like what I was talking about where we were talking about a few weeks ago, we were at bay beach and they got this random YouTube message from an account that had no real name, no picture, you know, it was just like no information. And, uh,
01:54:19
Speaker
And we were at this park for the opening day of this roller coaster. And then I got this message and it was like, hey, you should post a POV of zip and Pippin. And it's like a line break. Do it, faggot. And then that was it. Oh, my God. And it was just like, how the fuck they know we're at this park like this just doesn't make any sense. So.
01:54:46
Speaker
Oh, God, I'm like going through my screenshot folders because I have I got some of the weirdest comments ever there. So like there was some tea. There was this guy who like I don't know if you saw, but I made a video called a top 10 ways to fix six flags over Texas. And I like went over a bunch of like points on how to like improve the park. And this guy who I later found out worked at the park and then got fired for drinking on the job.
01:55:16
Speaker
And he, uh, he worked at the train and he commented on my video and here, I actually have the whole comment loaded up. So get ready for prepare yourselves. You might want to sit down, but, uh,
01:55:31
Speaker
I mentioned about how they should renovate the Music Mill Amphitheater and like bring back the summer concert series. And so he started with that. Music Mill acts now charge more for a one night appearance than over Texas makes in a week. Music Mills is in a floodplain. Very little can be done in that area. Floodplain. Nothing will ever replace Music Mill until the flooding issues are resolved. Period.
01:55:56
Speaker
theming, agreed 100%, but that has long gone and is phased out despite the popularity of Dollywood and Silver Dollar City. As long as they're catering to 15 and 18 year olds, it is moot. Comparing Over Texas to Fiesta Texas is a waste of time. Six Flags is clearly giving more cash to Fiesta Texas. Yes, Takis are all over the park, but so is Coke at every single stand. The only area that pays homage to the park's history is in the France section. Have you been to Over Texas? The railroad?
01:56:26
Speaker
The only original ride at Overtex is still running out the same building and ride that has been there since opening day. That one pissed me off big time. And like I mentioned about like how
01:56:43
Speaker
all of the theming at the France section. It's now just a bigger smoking section now. And he was just like, the smoking section of France and out of the way section of the park where smokers can go to relax, they're all over the park scheduled, but they're not there. No, I do not smoke. And if by chance you did smoke and I hope you never start, you would never even have brought up this comment in your video.
01:57:07
Speaker
every single building you are attacking is in the floodplain stop bringing this up and he just goes on and on about the floodplain and like the floodplain you know nothing you know so little of your home park the graveyard of titan is in a floodplain and
01:57:27
Speaker
Like he just goes on and on and on and he's just like your park bashing bullshit and all this stuff. And he likes posted my video in like this one Facebook group and uh,
01:57:43
Speaker
He was just talking so much shit. Oh yeah. He said he made another video bashing his home park. He even bashes fiesta Texas in this video. Not true, by the way. This is number two. I'm all for park improvements a hundred percent, but this one is total bullshit. He wants to get famous on YouTube and here is his chance. Oh, I hate this guy more than I hate my ex wife. Wow.
01:58:10
Speaker
And Dan, you're pretty terrible, aren't you? I guess so. I'm like I'm a bad bitch. I can't help it, but I tell it how it is. And like I had and what's so crazy. It's like that video is like my second most viewed video on my channel. And it like got so big because he like said so much shit about it.
01:58:39
Speaker
So thanks. Thanks for the clout, bro. Damn. What are they up to nowadays? I don't know. I told him, I told like a bunch of my supervisors about it and they all thought it was hilarious. And they were just like, well, if he says some shit again, ask him how he got fired from six flags over Texas. Ah,
01:59:04
Speaker
So yeah, it was just like, yeah, don't pay attention. But it was just like, damn, he hates me more than his ex wife because I made comments about how I want my home park to be better. Huh? But anyway. Yeah. The energy that goes into that.
01:59:27
Speaker
Yeah. Like, I only like read like half of that comment because it was just, it was just getting more and more stupid as it went on. Yeah. And so like he mentioned the floodplains like eight more times. The floodplains. Dan, did you know about the fucking floodplains? I did not know about the fucking floodplains. I mean, I,
01:59:53
Speaker
I mean, I didn't really mention anything about it, but like I did point out, I'm very well aware. Most of my points are un, like not realistic and can cost a lot of money, but still it's my opinion. Yeah. Well, God damn it, Dan, the floodplains, the floodplains. I'm just thinking about them. Good news for you guys. Yeah. Not about the floodplains. Oh no.
02:00:23
Speaker
I have a six fairs theme song. All right. Oh, my God. All right. So let me go ahead and open Gmail so you guys can check it out. OK. I think you're going to love it because it's flawless.
02:00:44
Speaker
I can't wait. I spent no less than 30 seconds putting this. Wait a minute. I can upload it to the soundboard. Oh yeah, that's right. You can. Okay. Nevermind. I'm going to just send it to Ben real quick and we can all hear it. Well, you guys can hear it for the first time live. Hey,
02:01:08
Speaker
All right. My Gmail is opened. My whole boy. My Gmail is open for an email. Oh God. Oh Lordy Lou. Okay.
02:01:44
Speaker
All right. All right. It has been sent. OK. Just taking deep breaths. Prepare yourselves, gentlemen. Here it is. Oh, God. Yes. I'm not putting it inside of my computer. Download it.
02:02:13
Speaker
prepare your anuses. That's where earbuds go, right? Six fairs song. Okay. I'm going to play it. Um, it's still loading, I guess. I heard it.
02:02:52
Speaker
You guys actually hear it? Yeah. Do you know? Okay. Well then stop it. Hold on. Is it still playing? It just stopped. Okay. It's not going to work so great if you can't hear it. Still send it to me though. I want to, I want to bump it. Okay.
02:03:32
Speaker
I'm like an old man, I can't operate my computer.
02:04:10
Speaker
Nice. That's great. Glad you like. Yeah, that was pretty much exactly what I was imagining. Nailed it. Dan, what do you think?
02:04:40
Speaker
Shit, we just blew Dan right at the fucking water. Oh fuck Yeah, no, I think Zen caster fucked us Because we we went and did something fun All right, well, I'm gonna start a new recording okay
02:05:10
Speaker
Yeah, that's cool. That should be the closing, uh, outro music. Okay. Sure. Whatever. Six fairs. Yeah. Six fairs. I think that's going to have to be the episode title. Yep.
02:05:36
Speaker
There was, um, when I was in, I guess college before I went to Cedar Point or around that time, I, uh, had this Facebook checking at my friend's house, but for some reason my friend had his house listed as six frog. So it became like a thing kind of reminds me of that. You said something about senior frogs.
02:06:10
Speaker
Was it? Yeah, that's right. From arrested development. Oh God, what are we doing? Wait, was it senior frogs or was it senior? Was it some, was it senior frogs? That's a real place. I believe. No, it is. I've been there. Yeah. That's a real place. Yeah. It's like, I forgot. I went to one.
02:06:39
Speaker
Okay. Yeah. I've never been to one. I've just seen the t-shirts. Yeah. It's always the people who get it. Cause they go to the senior frogs and Cosmo from a cruise. That makes sense. Yeah. It's like, it's always white people wearing them. Exactly. It's always white people wearing Cosmo shit.
02:07:07
Speaker
I would know cause I've been there like four times. Ooh, fancy. When I was like 13 to like 15. Did you get to drink while you were there as a kid?
02:07:21
Speaker
Well, like, yeah, but not in the way that I wanted. Well, also because he was just like, I was so young and innocent and just like, here, have a full shot of vodka and just like try to swallow all of it. And I just like spit it in the trash can because I couldn't. That makes me think of that vine where that kid's like, all right, we're drinking vodka down the hatch.
02:07:51
Speaker
Yes, that was my exact reaction. Oh, okay. So in Arrested Development, it was senior tadpoles. Oh, right, right, right. I love that. I love that even more after looking it up and realizing that.
02:08:14
Speaker
Which, which honestly for like Newport Beach, California seems like it could be a real place. Yeah. Like I could totally see some like. Really trashy fucking yuppie bar senior tadpoles. That was such a great show. Yeah, it was.
02:08:45
Speaker
It's really too bad the fourth and fifth seasons like did not. Yeah. Yeah, I didn't even see seasons. Holy shit. What was the first three seasons? Holy shit. Yeah. Third was starting to drop off like halfway through. You kind of tell. Yeah, I love that show. I need to rewatch it.
02:09:15
Speaker
I've never seen it. What? Definitely recommend it. Okay. It's like, um, honestly, I think it was one of the shows that got me into binging shit on Netflix. Like only just started doing that.
02:09:35
Speaker
Well, it wasn't like, you know, cause like I remember paying for Netflix from, I don't know, 2010 on, but like it was only for movies and then like Arrested Development was on there and just like binging shows was like a newer thing. And that show is like, I watch it so many times and it like, you catch jokes every time you watch it. Oh yeah.
02:09:56
Speaker
Like I've just recently just started like getting into shows because I would, I never really would watch TV, but my boyfriend Nick is like a trout always making me watch shows. And we just watched this, uh, show called call my agent. And it's like a, it's a French show about like, uh, Hollywood agents and like what they do to like get celebrities and be their clients and shit like that. It's really good. Nice.
02:10:30
Speaker
but it still can't answer what the difference between an agent and a producer is. It kind of does. I already forgot the differences, but it's there's some, there are two, I don't know. It's like every time I watched the show, I was fucked up. So I don't remember all the details.
02:10:59
Speaker
That's like that sounds like the how like a weekend song is gonna sound in like three years He's just like talking about watching some Netflix show while he's fucked up Not if I do it first
02:11:21
Speaker
Do it. Get ahead of it. I'm going to be ahead of that curve. Do it. Just watching TV fucked up. OK, that now that I'm thinking about that, that could actually be a banger.
02:11:41
Speaker
No, no dead ass. Like I'm, I'm trying to do like one of the songs I'm actually working on in on my like new project, it's called fake Gucci slides. And it's a song about being like a broke ass bitch that wears fake shit, but you still want to flex. So it's like some shit like that. Do, um,
02:12:06
Speaker
Yeah, just do it like this crazy fucking fear and loathing in Las Vegas drug binge. And then you're really just watching nailed it. Watching Malcolm in the middle, right? That'd be like some shit like that. That'd be like a meth day. Uh, yeah.
02:12:36
Speaker
Like I decided to try meth and then I watched all of The Walking Dead. Well, that does not sound fun. Watching The Walking Dead for an entire day, that does not sound fun. Watching one episode of that show doesn't sound fun. Exactly. Yeah, that show like wasn't that great for me. I don't get it. I was like, when is it supposed to be scary?
02:13:07
Speaker
And then people were like, it's psychological. And I'm like, that's bullshit. That's another word for not scary. Well, like you can't have a psychological thriller with zombies. Yeah. Yeah. Like that's the opposite of what psychological is. Yeah. Psychological is like, oh, it makes you think because this could really happen.
02:13:38
Speaker
like a covid conspiracy yeah like something like that that could be a psychological movie but like
02:13:49
Speaker
unless the zombies are like on bath salts, it's not. That's what got them there in the first place. Exactly. Like if they explained that shit from the get go, they're like, the year is 2034 and the world has been consumed by a bath salt pandemic. Right. I could see that. But at least the bathtubs smell really nice.
02:14:19
Speaker
And gay men still have really clean VCRs. Exactly. That's the antidote. So you're like, you're running around and you're just like, you're just like hitting poppers, like to stay safe because they won't buy you.
02:14:42
Speaker
Oh, God. And so the only people that survived are the gays that had poppers in the streets that they could reach. I mean, nobody else has just taken bath salts. Well, have you have you seen that movie, The Dead Don't Die in Dallas? Oh, it's a it's a movie that came out like one or two years ago. It stars Willem Belay, the drag queen.
02:15:10
Speaker
It's basically about like a zombie zombies like breaking out and it's like a group of drag queens and then a group of like hardcore Christians and they like are trapped together and they have to work together to like kill the zombies. Huh? Okay. Interesting. Yeah, it's pretty good.
02:15:43
Speaker
Well, zombies are bullshit. It should be a movie about like weed that turns you into a zombie. That's what the Christians want. The devil's lettuce.
02:16:02
Speaker
Like that, those old commercials with the girl, like deflated on the couch and it's like, Oh yeah. So she started smoking pot. She's just kind of sits there. And I was, I always saw that and went, Holy shit. I want the weed where I melt into the couch. I want what they're smoking. Yeah. I'm like, I've been trying to do that for 12 years.
02:16:29
Speaker
How how'd she get it to fucking work on the first try? And then there's just a ball in the background. I love it. I've been aiming for that state for years of my life. That higher being. There is like. There was like an introduction to drugs.
02:16:55
Speaker
It really was. Whenever they like did that shit at my school, I was always just like, well, fuck you, I'm going to do drugs. And that's where they failed. Yeah, the whole thing was weird because it was like this one here.
02:17:12
Speaker
This is opium. And this one here, this is cocaine. And this one here is heroin. And these are all very bad. And it's like, I'm confused. You're like showing us these drugs. And I'm just like, why is it bad? Have you heard of micro dosing?
02:17:35
Speaker
I don't know. Yeah. They do a shitty job with the kids. They're like, this is all really bad. And it's like, why is it bad? Because the magical Skyman says so. Why is it bad? Because if you do them, I'm coming to your house. Oh shit. The cartoon lion.
02:18:04
Speaker
Oh, that little fucking asshole. I gotta say, nobody that's sober is that fucking chipper. He's on happy pills. Yeah, man, I met some sober cats that are real positive outlook and shit. They ain't chipper like that. Mm hmm.
02:18:45
Speaker
That cat's like, when we would do the takes, I would need to do blow 10 minutes before, but I'd need to drink a quarter of rum half an hour before. And then I'd have exactly 10 minutes to get it right because the Quaaludes would kick in otherwise. And you're like, what the fuck? That's so much effort. Damn.
02:18:59
Speaker
That cat, that cat's, no, it's...
02:19:12
Speaker
He's like, yeah, we wasted a lot of film, but when it was on, it was magic. Quaaludes. They're like, where did you find quaaludes in the 80s? He's like, I worked for the cops. Such a mysterious drug. I really wish I could try.
02:19:43
Speaker
You know? What is it exactly? It's like a sleeping aid. Oh, okay. But in the seventies. So like Ambien? Yeah, but I guess it was more powerful. Oh. Like in the seventies, people used to take them and then they'd get like super fucked up. Hmm.
02:20:11
Speaker
I don't know. That shit always like, like sleeping pills and stuff that, that shit scares me. Cause one of my friends almost OD'd on Ambien. So that like that kind of shit scares me. Yeah. So it sounds scary. I don't like being out of control. Exactly. That's why I don't like it. It's terrifying. Yeah. That's why I don't like getting drunk anymore.
02:20:39
Speaker
I remember one time in high school, this kid was on Ambien and he walked into class all late. And the teacher was like, hey, could you have a seat? And he's like, why don't you have a seat?
02:20:54
Speaker
yeah yeah like and he like took a swing oh shit oh god yeah it was bad but he was all fucked up so he lost his balance when he swung and he ended up like falling over because i don't think he was trying to like hit the teacher
02:21:23
Speaker
Yeah, right. He was like trying to turn around or something. So he was on Ambien in class. Well, yeah, we didn't know he was on Ambien at the time. And then later on, we're talking to him like a week later or something like you are a man. He's like, yeah, it was really high on Ambien.
02:21:58
Speaker
Oh god the suburbs. What, you didn't wake and bake every day before school? No man, I didn't smoke pot until I was out of high school.
02:22:08
Speaker
Uh, I didn't start until like halfway through senior year. And then it was like every morning I would pick up my friend and we would drive to school, but we would like smoke it in his house and then drive to school. So I was like, I was like stoned every single morning for, uh, the rest of high school. And I like got top half of my class, like grades wise.
02:22:38
Speaker
So I, uh, I was able to like use that as for my mom and just be like, yo, see, I'm not a stupid bitch. I got my shit handled. And now she's just like, yes, if you want to do that, go for it. Oh, actually I take it back. I smoked weed in high school, but it was after school. Hmm.
02:23:03
Speaker
Because I had to take the bus home, which sucked. Not the school bus. Fucking city bus. Oh. Inside, get home. Folks are both working. So I knew where the weed was at and. Pack the bong up and do a couple of hits. And I remember I would put on like dance music and play No Limits. And I'd be stoned and just like play No Limits.
02:23:35
Speaker
Nice. I, uh, I didn't smoke that much in high school. It was more of a like special occasion or if I was hanging out with someone who smoked weed, but I actually really didn't start until I was like 22, 23. And then even then it was like hard to find all the time and I didn't like start start until like I was 25.
02:24:02
Speaker
Yeah, I remember that one time we were trying to get you to hit yourself in the balls with your keys. Yeah, right. Because shit like that would happen. And I learned later, like later in life with like having weird anxieties. And I'm like, oh, yeah, probably because I'd get high when I was younger and it'd be like all fucked up and.
02:24:25
Speaker
Sometimes we're like pretty terrifying, like, especially when I would smoke with Zach, like some of those terrifying stone moments of my life, I think I've been with Zach, but not out of like any reason, just because of like how stupid the moment was. Oh, yeah. Wait a second. You're making it sound like I'm the worst fucking person to get high with. No, no, no, it wasn't you. I'm saying like, for some reason, I would do too much.
02:24:54
Speaker
when we would hang out. Not like you were into bad influence. It was just like. I think it was more because I wasn't familiar with where you lived. So like when we walked that fucked me up to like so we would like walk to 7-Eleven and it was like the first sometimes I was like the first time seeing shit in your neighborhood and it was at night. So it was just like, oh shit, like it was always kind of like more on edge.
02:25:26
Speaker
Yeah, and walking next to it like a fucking cemetery at night also a little creepy Yeah That shot sounds wild There's like this giant cemetery across somewhere my parents live where I grew up. Oh, yeah
02:25:45
Speaker
And so when Ben and I would hang out as a kid, like the seven 11 you'd walk and you'd have to walk basically parallel to the, like right across with the cemetery the whole way. Oh wow. Did you ever see some creepy shit? No, I always hoped I would, but I never did. Darn.
02:26:11
Speaker
See that one, I guess didn't ever freak me out. I was always more freaked out with like a cemetery in the middle of the forest, like where I grew up in the middle of nowhere.
02:26:25
Speaker
True. So as teenagers, we used to like, I don't know, we were like 15. We used to go to the cemetery at night, set up a blanket and have candles and like a Ouija board. And we would like smoke cigarettes and do stupid shit. That was always like a little spooky. I never got to that point, but I always wanted to. Yeah, when you're young, it's like fun.
02:26:53
Speaker
Just because, you know, your imagination hasn't been completely dissolved. Oh yeah. You have a little bit of innocence. Yeah. Before Facebook shattered our reality. Before graduation shattered our reality. And then the summer ended.
02:27:23
Speaker
It wasn't endless summer until it ended. It did come to an end. And then it was September. Even worse. Wake me up when September ends. And everyone, he moved back home. It was the summer of our lives.
02:27:53
Speaker
Oh, Lord. Holy shit, I'm getting sleepy and I need a cigarette. Or what time is it for you guys? 1030. You're smoking cigarettes. 1230. That's 1230 for me too. Yeah.
02:28:15
Speaker
Yeah. Central time. Boo. And yes, because the city of Chicago decided that it's better for everybody that vapes are not allowed. Wait, what happened? The city of Chicago banned vapes.
02:28:35
Speaker
What the fuck? Yep. So I can't buy my vape shit. I can't go online and buy it because it won't ship here and I can't ship it elsewhere because they require you to use your own ID to make the purchases online. So thank you, Chicago. What the successfully quit smoking for fucking five years, but I am now back because I can't get my.
02:29:00
Speaker
Alternative. Cause it's dangerous. I can't blow my dope ass clouds. That's right. It's fucking dangerous. So give me my goddamn cancer instead. Uh, that just sounds bad. I mean, I haven't vaped in like a year and a half, but still damn. I'd rather be doing it than smoking, but you know. Oh yeah.
02:29:28
Speaker
I don't get to decide what's better for my body because America. Exactly. It's what the billionaires want. Yep. RJ Reynolds and fucking Philip Morris are happy to have me back. Anyway.
02:29:55
Speaker
Let's, uh, Dan, get your, get your plugs in again. Yeah. So you can find me at Shockwave Dan, all one word.
02:30:05
Speaker
You can find my music at Real Shiny Fabric. You could also check out my brother, Elliot, with two T's on season 13 of RuPaul's Drag Race. So check him out. He's awesome. And yeah, that's about it. For sure. Thanks for coming on, man.
02:30:33
Speaker
Hell yeah, man. Thanks for having me on. This was awesome. Absolutely. It's a pleasure. It says awesome to have you at our very first ever meetup. Yeah, a year ago. Fucking year ago. So hopefully we'll do another one and we'll be able to have you there. But obviously everything is fucking crazy right now.
02:31:08
Speaker
Any chance you think you'll be able to make Hollywood Nights, Dan? Oh no! I think we lost his audio again. Fuuuuck. Anyway, as I was saying, thank you so much for coming on, Dan.
02:31:37
Speaker
Thank you guys so much for having me. This was a lot of fun. Definitely. Absolute pleasure. And yeah, like I said before, but we'll do it again real quick. It was great to meet you at the meetup when we have that. It seems like forever ago.
02:31:55
Speaker
Oh yeah, it was awesome. It was my first like enthusiast event and like my first time meeting up with anybody like outside of like my friend group. And I was like, Oh, sweet. They're not like assholes. Sweet. That's good. Yeah. Glad, glad that's not the impression we made. Oh no, not well, I was low key. I was like kind of nervous at first cause I was just like, Oh, what if they judge me? But no, I was like,
02:32:24
Speaker
five seconds later after like, you want to hit my dad pen? Then it was like, Oh, cool. That's funny. Cause we were both nervous that everyone who showed up would be a weirdo. Oh yeah. That that's, that's valid. Yeah. Cause like I've done my fair share of forum, like meeting people from message boards. So it was just kind of like, which kind?
02:32:52
Speaker
Well, like, like we're old and. Oh, yeah. Like rollercoasters, rollercoaster message boards. Oh, OK. Yeah, that can get awkward fucking quick. Oh, yeah. It kind of blows my mind, though, that back in, you know, being like 17, 18. Like meeting people on the Internet, it's just kind of weird, but it's cool, though.
02:33:21
Speaker
Oh, yeah, back when it was like new and futuristic. Yeah, back when I was young enough to think, hey, what could possibly go wrong meeting some stranger on the Internet? Exactly. They like roller coasters, too. They must be OK. Exactly. Like if you like coasters, you're you're my BFF.
02:33:48
Speaker
Cut to don't fill this in. All right. Cut to your favorite roller coaster YouTuber here.
02:34:01
Speaker
Oh God. Six fair. Six fair. It's great. Perfect. All right. Yeah. So let's see. Shit, we got to say we got to do annoying shit real quick, Dan. Hope you don't mind. I don't mind. I don't know if you've ever heard the end of our episodes. I do.
02:34:27
Speaker
I actually listened to the end. Oh, champion status. So we're going to try to do like we normally do and not just blow right through all the annoying shit and actually give some decent reason to hang around. Oh yes. You might hear previews of a new song. Yeah. Who knows? Do you have something? No.
02:34:51
Speaker
Okay, I thought I just meant like the six Ferris theme song. Oh, yeah. Well, there's that that's for sure and You know what? I'm feeling generous. Maybe I'll even put that up on onto our SoundCloud page Do it? Patreon It'll definitely go up on patreon
02:35:17
Speaker
It'll definitely be available there. And maybe, maybe if enough people want, I'll do a full remix in that style. Like with verses and everything? With the whole song, but also with the Millennium Force mashup and the car crashes. Oh, yes. Who knows? I don't know.
02:35:43
Speaker
It's not me, because it's late. Your favorite coaster sucks. Not you, Dan. Not you, listener. Just your favorite coaster sucks. Anyway, leave us a fucking review on the thingy that you use to play the podcast with, if you can. Otherwise, leave a thing on the thing.
02:36:09
Speaker
Just make a comment or fucking thumbs up the thing or make it fake. Yeah, whatever the fuck. Who knows? Do the thing that makes it go ding, ding, ding and ring while your ass hole sings. I don't know.
02:36:29
Speaker
Why your asshole sings? Yeah, I don't know why I just tried to do like some weird fucked up white dolomite thing, but it happened. So. What else? We got a website. It's your favorite coaster sucks.com. It is totally safe for work. It's not safe for work.
02:36:58
Speaker
Uh, do we lose Dan again? No. Okay. It's just like, you see flat line and I'm like, Oh shit. Flatline. Where's Dan? Oh God. We're losing him. I suppose it's not a heart rate. It's audio. Yes. I'm dead. Dead serious about smashing that. Like
02:37:29
Speaker
Dead series about going to Itchy and Scratchyland. Oh yes. What the fuck else do we have? We have socials, if you give a shit about that stuff. Every day that goes by, I care a little bit less. But they're there if you care to join the dozens of others who are on them.
02:37:59
Speaker
You can hit us up on the email. Oh, shit. We got an email, Ben. All right. So let's see. I'll just read it real quick. This is from Josh. It says, Dear Zach and Ben.
02:38:18
Speaker
Hello, gentlemen. I like to take the time to say you guys crack me up. The Coaster community needs some more laughs. Been listening ever since y'all popped up on Coaster Radio. Recently, episodes are like Watch Mystery Science Theater 3000, that old TV show. No stop laughter. Or maybe y'all are like Jay and Silent Bob of the Coaster community.
02:38:43
Speaker
I can see it now. Y'all a great America chilling by the gift shop. 20 bucks, little man. Anyways, just like to say thanks. So thanks, Josh. That's a good message. Thank you. He compared you to the dealers. That's so nice. I mean, it's it's not inaccurate.
02:39:14
Speaker
except like if my image of me is dealing weed inside of a theme park by a gift shop, that's awesome or I feel ashamed of that. You know, Ben, considering we've been doing this show for fucking like a year and a half now,
02:39:43
Speaker
And we've talked about smoking weed on pretty much every episode. I think that's kind of the picture we painted. Oh, fuck. At a certain point, you just got to own the reputation. You got to make merch. Theme Park, although what about that kind of a show, a show about a theme park drug dealer?
02:40:14
Speaker
I mean, that, that sounds funny, but I doubt it could be achieved realistically. Cause like, maybe it was Kennywood in the eighties slinging. No, it would have to be like, it would have to be like, uh, Nickelback Tony who works at the ring toss game.
02:40:41
Speaker
And he's like, he's like, he's like five dollars to throw three rings. Ten bucks if you want something extra. And all the dudes are like, man, Tony gets all the girls. I was waiting for one of you guys to get that.
02:41:13
Speaker
Anyway, that was a really dark joke. I've been making really dark jokes tonight. That's all right. I didn't mean to be a downer. I'm just. No, we're in down times right now. It's fine to just make fun of it. Exactly. That's true.
02:41:32
Speaker
Hey, you know what? We also talked about roller coasters tonight, guys. For like five minutes. Yay. Yeah, that's a first. We've been drastically moving away from the titular content of our podcast then. That's kind of amazing. Well, it's like there's nothing going on coaster-wise.
02:41:55
Speaker
Exactly. I don't know what the fuck we'd be talking about unless we were rehashing some fucking top 10 bullshit or. Not going to name any names, but really scraping the barrel for content ideas like some YouTube channels I've seen recently. Oh, yeah, a lot of the YouTube channels are going towards the clickbait route like.
02:42:21
Speaker
RMC will never build a great coaster again or like why the B&M surf coaster will be worse than you thought. And then like one that's like the better than you think, you know, it's just these like stupid ideas. Every time I've like thought about making a video, like someone like some random ass video, like YouTuber just makes that exact same video and I'm just like, well, shit, gotta erase the script now.
02:42:53
Speaker
Yeah, I've been seeing some that are just like you can tell people are just like out of fucking ideas where it's like, can you name all the mirrored Batman's in your state? And you're like, oh, Jesus Christ. Oh, God. Can you know what this has come to now? Top five on ride photos.
02:43:17
Speaker
Which honestly, that is way more interesting than a lot of stuff that's going on. So top 10 shaded sections of cue lines. Yeah. Yeah. Like top 10 underrated cue shade or. Yeah.
02:43:41
Speaker
that I'm dead ass. I'm actually writing that down like top 10 queue lines. Like that's yeah. Like that, that's a, that's a funny idea. Cause like, I'm actually working on a, on a video with a zero credits remaining a top 10 coaster entrance signs.
02:44:02
Speaker
And we're like doing something like that, like back and forth kind of stuff. So it's like, I'm, I'm trying to like get some more shit out there, but school is kicking my ass right now. So I guess I can't be like Taylor, baby. Bro, ex flight should be on that list. I'm ex flight.
02:44:31
Speaker
The sign is fucking great. Oh, like the plywood, the entrance sign. Oh no, it's actually, yeah, it's fucking great. I mean, it looks good, but I haven't been to great America. So it's like, it hasn't like impacted me. You know what I mean? Well, everybody knows you can't count the sign unless you've seen it with your own eyes.
02:44:57
Speaker
That's true, except for one. I can't remember which one I put on there, but oh, yeah, I like put Phantom's Revenge on there as one of them. And I've never been to Kennywood. But I just put it on there because it lit up. Nice. So you should have just done all the signs for different wacky worms. What?
02:45:27
Speaker
It should've just all been signs for different wacky worms. It should've been like, the wacky worm at Delgrosso's, number nine. The wacky worm at Family Kingdom, number eight. The wacky worm at Enchanted Village. Oh God, like that reminds me of this,
02:45:53
Speaker
This one guy I know he made a video called like top 10 coasters in Alaska. And it was all just like JK, there's no coasters in Alaska, but there's a lot of snowboarding. Huh. You should pick a random zip code and do like the top 10 coasters in that zip code.
02:46:21
Speaker
Guess guess the zip code by. Like ride layout or something, I don't know. Yeah, guess guess the zip code by the names of the inversions that are in it. Yeah, yeah. Dude, so now that I'm thinking about it, there is an infinite amount of ways to move a YouTube coaster channel. Oh, yeah.
02:46:50
Speaker
You could literally make an infinite amount of content and too many people are just copying each other with stuff that's not very interesting. I mean, there's, there's a whole like, like we haven't even scratched the surface of roller coaster makeup looks.
02:47:10
Speaker
Okay. We need, we need the genre of coaster videos that are, what if one company built a ride instead of a different company? RMC wacky worm. Exactly. Like if it was like, what if premier rides built the, the Coney Island Cyclone? Yeah, you could literally do every roller coaster in the. Exactly.
02:47:43
Speaker
What if Schwarzkopf made Viper? Yeah, what if B&M built the voyage? What if B&M built dragon fire? That'd be cool. Wouldn't it just be Kumba? Kind of. Maybe.
02:48:07
Speaker
Well, like there was, I remember on TPR back in 05 or 06 or whatever, there was actually a no limits coaster where somebody turned that entire layout into a B and M coaster and like heartlined it and made it really smooth, but pretty much followed the layout identical. Yeah. It was pretty cool. Interesting. Yeah. If you were good at no limits, that would be a thing you could do. Like, um,
02:48:37
Speaker
copy the layout of Medusa and make it into a, I don't know, like a sit down B&M. Put the floor back on. What if GCI had built Medusa?
02:49:04
Speaker
I mean, actually. And then and then a sub genre of that is just what if Golden Horse built. And then it's every coaster you could build every Golden Horse coaster in like under five minutes, because you could just claim the shittiness is because it's Golden Horse. Yeah, you could be like, see how the live till just completely kinks and goes to 45 degrees to the left in the middle there. Yeah, that's that's pretty accurate to a Golden Horse.
02:49:34
Speaker
My friends actually been to China, he knows. My friends eating Chinese food one time, he knows. Oh, shit, it's midnight. Bitch, it's one in the morning. Well, by you, yeah. Yeah, I'm in the future, motherfucker.
02:50:06
Speaker
Oh, Ben. Yeah. It's Zach from the future. Whoa, that's trippy. Warn Zach from the present, not to. I don't even know. Never mind. It's the Kings Island video from the future. Right.
02:50:35
Speaker
With the creepy molester uncle. That dude living out on his bike, he's living the life. I was thinking more the guy with the bow tie. Oh yeah. He's probably not handling quarantine well.
02:50:58
Speaker
If there ever looked like there, if there was ever a guy who looked like his business card said molester uncle on it, it was that fucking guy. I like the idea he has those business cards. And then he's like, hi, I'm Larry.
02:51:24
Speaker
I'm, uh, I'm an architect and he hands out the card and they're like, um, and he's like, Oh shit. Did I hand you the wrong one? Yeah. All right. Oh, we had one more announcement here. Oh shit.
02:51:55
Speaker
The Your Favorite Coaster Sucks book club is going to happen for the first time ever. Book club. That's right. In just a matter of a couple weeks here.
02:52:06
Speaker
We are going to meet with the author of Good Lord. I have the title of the book here because I'm not that much of an asshole, I promise. I'm really not. I'm not stalling. It's just that the name of the book is very important and it needs to be said after being prefaced in such a manner as this. So, of course, the book we're reading is Summer's Reach and it is available for free.
02:52:38
Speaker
It's written by an awesome listener of the show. And we will link to it in the episode description. So read up, read up, and then we are going to have a cool meetup with K.I. who wrote the book. So, and this is open to anyone who's a listener.
02:53:03
Speaker
So look for the link to the book in the episode description and we will be having that coming up, I believe in three weeks. So if you're listening to this the day it comes out, you got about three weeks to read the book. And it doesn't look like it's terribly long.
02:53:32
Speaker
All right. It's like a summer reading project. Yeah. Well, you know, it's going to be fun. Reading is fun. It is. And I think it's a good time for a book club. So I'd love to encourage everyone to check out the book.
02:53:57
Speaker
And if you want to come talk with the author and hang out and stuff, then that will be available on the week of March 22nd. And I think that's going to be a really good time. And I'm really looking forward to it. And I hope to see a lot of you there for that. Yeah, I'm excited.
02:54:26
Speaker
Oh, my cat's rubbing up on the mic now. Aww. Mittens, you trying to hop on a podcast? Aww, Mittens. I can hear Mittens purring.
