I haven't played Terraria in a long time. Might be good to revisit with the new update.

I remember riding WildCat when I was younger. Always a fun little coaster.

I didn't know this was a thing on Mastodon. How fun. "The Lurker." I'll take it. 😆

This kind of came out of nowhere. If Silverwood is selling, I am glad they are selling to Herschend.

I've been using Google Translate for ages to talk with my family in Taiwan, and just found out recently that @kagihq had their own translation service. It's much better! You can give it context, which is super helpful for my use case, and it will give you style tips. It's also helpfully free […]

Just got home from seeing Tron: Ares. I thought the movie was pretty good. Really enjoyed the music. I’ll probably be rockin the soundtrack for a bit.

Wife and I finally have some time off together to go see a movie, so we are going to check out Tron: Ares.

Jet Star 2 at Lagoon was my first "big boy" coaster when I was growing up. It wasn't the biggest or fastest, but I always had to ride it when I went to the park because it was fun and packed quite a punch. It was one of my favorite rides. Today was Jet Star's last day of operation. I will miss […]

I just saw the news that King of the Hill is getting three more seasons. I am very happy to see the news. I was excited when they announced it was coming back. The new season was definitely good and really stuck with the shows vibes from before. I can’t wait to see what else they have in store.

I just got home from work and saw this post from Lagoon. Jet Star 2 will be closing at the end of Lagoon's 2025 season. I am heart broken over this news. Jet Star 2 has been a favorite of mine for almost 35 years and one of the rides I always had to do when I […]

It's official. Lagoon's 2026 ride will be an S&S Screamin' Swing! Based on the specs they announced, it sounds like it will be a 40 seat model.

I was happy to see they are going to theme it to the Biergarten since the new ride will sit right next to it.

Attraction Spot went live for the […]

Looks like Lagoon will announce their 2026 ride next Friday, October 10th at 5:00pm. The announcement will take place between Wild Mouse and Fire Dragon. Treats will be served until they run out.

What do you think the new ride will be?! Are you going to go to the announcement?

Friendly reminder that next week is the last week of Lagoon’s summer schedule. I don’t know about you, but I feel like the summer months went by way too fast.

I hope I am still riding roller coasters at 89. That would be awesome.
