Hello! I'm Christopher. I make videos about roller coasters, but other topics might sneak in. Thanks for visiting!
Vlog 17 - My Day at Knoebels
It took me many years but I finally made it to Knoebels in Pennsylvania! This was their opening weekend and I was delighted to see that Flying Turns, their wooden bobsled coaster, was open! I also discovered the addictive Fascination game which consumed about an hour (park was only open from 12-6 that day). #knoebels #rollercoaster #themepark #amusementpark

Fascination at Knoebels
Просмотров 1,2 тыс.4 месяца назад
I went to Knoebels to ride the roller coasters. I got a little sidetracked by this hybrid skeeball/bingo game called Fascination. Essentially, you roll a rubber ball down an alley and it lands in a hole on a 5x5 grid. The hole corresponds with a light on the board. The goal is to be the first to get five in a row as you're playing against everyone in the room! #knoebels #games #fascination

Vlog 13 - I Finally Have All The (Attainable) Credits at Six Flags Magic Mountain
Просмотров 2145 месяцев назад
In this video I finish up my three-day, three-park California trip with a visit to Magic Mountain. My objective was to get the last two credits I couldn't get on my previous visits and of course to ride X2. I do go on a bit of a rant regarding the one train operations on a lot of their coasters. And yes, I do realize it is March and not technically off-season but the lines didn't scream "off-se...

Vlog 07 - Going One On One with Mine Blower
Просмотров 606 месяцев назад
If roller coaster enthusiasts were wrestlers and Teddy Long was their manager, offending wrestlers would go one-on-one with The Undertaker...I mean...Mine Blower! So here's the scoop if you're not a coaster enthusiast and you're watching this...Mine Blower is/was a wooden coaster in Orlando, Florida and it's notorious for being extremely rough. In 2023 it received some steel track in select spo...

Vlog 04 - Universal Orlando Resort (A Second Try at Velocicoaster and Hollywood Rip Ride Rockit)
Просмотров 3356 месяцев назад
This was my only full day at Universal Studios for this trip and since Velocicoaster and Hollywood Rip Ride Rockit were both down on my prior visit I made it my goal to ride both as much as I could. While Velocicoaster did open back up, operations were limited and for the first time I can say two trains ops were not nearly enough! Still grateful to get on it nonetheless. #rollercoaster #univers...

Work conference is over and now it's time to have some fun! I only had time for the one park (and I got there way too early because I didn't realize they opened at 2pm) but I got multiple rides on the best wooden coaster in Orlando! #funspotamerica #rollercoaster #orlando #themepark #vlog

My Impractical Thoughts - Episode 3: Hurricane at Fun Spot Atlanta
You can see how it sways when the holding brake kicks in
where did u park? general or preferred parking?
Picky mc picky
😊😊 love the manta
wait they send u backwords
no, u kinda have to like guess so like one side is forward and the other sude is backwards
Hersheypark is an overcrowded mess most of the days. I wish I had a different home park.
Nice I’ve rode this one
Just look how much the track bends lol
NAHHH
you have to ride the carousel and the flyers if you go to knoebels
Tipping monster walygator grand est it’s to hard (I am French )🤣
Proud to be your first 👍
You got some great defunct credits at KI and KD!
I’m planning on hitting Hersheypark for the first time next year. Too bad you weren’t taken with SkyRush. I can see how maybe it has been overhyped. Sounds like Stormrunner is a temperamental ride that is not super reliable. Kind of like other launched Intamins. The coaster I look forward to riding most there is SkyRush, but even if I’m let down like you were, I know there are many other great coasters there, like Wildcat’s Revenge and Candymonium.
I played this as a kid in Seaside, Oregon over 35 years ago. Every time my family went on vacation, we would spend hours playing this. I haven't seen it for years.
They’ve got a few parlors still hangin’ on around the country!
I was in the big arcade in Seaside last summer, there was a large group of people playing this game.
Ah so this is what fascination is. That's awesome
Wow, we appreciate you visiting our park in California's Great America. Come see me and my peanuts gang again for another special events. - Charlie Brown
Two Rolling Thunders that close to each other with no coasters in between? 👀Also was there much to do at Trader's Village as you waited besides the rides?
That ride is so fun!
That was a cool trophy he got, I hate that we missed the celebration. Hoping to do a small marathon next time we go. Thanks for sharing😊
2 Trains!? Well happy birthday to it!
And they did very well operationally with it!
Nice coincidence filming on opening day. I was there too doing the same thing. Fun coincidence
I didn't even know it was going to be opening day when I planned the trip...sheer luck!
What day did you go to SFMM?
March 25
@@impracticallychristopher awe i was there a week before‼️‼️
One thing I noticed about one train ops: it isn't always that the park thinks they only need one train. Sometimes they just only have one train ready by the start of the season. Goliath at SFOG didn't have two trains running until late May-ish, but you could see the second train parked in the garage in pieces. Similarly, Batman the Ride and Great American Scream Machine were both running two trains even though they didn't have a line. It seems like some of these parks (Six Flags especially) just don't finish their off season maintenance and get everything up to full capacity until summer.
I think some of the issue is that Six Flags has made people like me cynical with their past decisions that have for better or worse colored my impressions of current decisions. I definitely agree that some of it is out of their hands but I’m sure some of this is motivated by cost savings. It’s hard to truly know.
@impracticallychristopher You're most likely right. There are plenty of rides that running a second train wouldn't require more staff, but they never get a second train until the line gets way too long. In some cases like that, it certainly seems to be a conscious choice.
5:52 oh hey that’s me operating Medusa! Hope you had a good time at the park even if kong aka the best ride in the park was closed.
I will be back for Kong one day 😎
@@impracticallychristopher Kong, Boomerang and Flash haven't been open at all in my 6 visits this year.
You could call Demon a.... cursed credit!
+1 for that! 😅
It looks like you're doing Coaster Con early!
I did a self-guided tour 😂
Man, what I wouldn't give to visit northern California again. I remember back in 1946 when I was a teenager me and Vincent Duperelli used to go to the peak and try to pick up the penguins. I mean girls ha-ha, not penguins.
It took me almost a week to recover from our 29 ride marathon. Next time we do a marathon I’m gonna get up half way and walk around. Sitting for 2 1/2 hours straight was rough. I can’t imagine the numbers you and the others have done😮
I usually have to stop around 25 for a quick break...not sure how I did so much on marathon day...must have been adrenaline!
Thats crazy. I have three rides on ArieForce One 😂
That's three more than a lot of people!
@@impracticallychristopher very true!
I think they should pull that janky POS out and install a Wild Moose myself.
I wish I could have been there, but work intruded. I was able to get 20 rides in yesterday after already riding everything at Six Flags. It even moved up in my rankings to number 5 overall, displacing Diamondback at Kings Island.
That’s great to hear you got so many rides in! I, too, put it over Diamondback and that’s saying a lot because I love that thing.
Just looking at my top 25, 7 are RMC's and all are top tier coasters any enthusiast would recognize.
Super awesome Chris! That prize pack is incredible and congrats on 700 lifetime rides!
Thank you!
Ask an English person what Fanny means 😂
I'm a little afraid to ask now 😬
For me (my home park is six flags over Georgia but it used to be seaworld orlando/ basically any park in florida) 1 Goliath - 136 Rides Since 2012 2 Mako - 112 - Rides Since 2016 3 Arieforce One - 82 Rides Since 2023 4 Batman The Ride - 72 Rides Since 2012 5 Incredible Hulk - 69 Rides Since 2010
That was awesome!! After sitting in the same spot for 2 1/2 hours, 29 was the most we could pull off. My head started hurting after 20.
I'm glad you made it til' the end though!
@@impracticallychristopher, thanks, I don’t know how you did that many Thursday. I’m still sore from just 29. I’m guessing the cold is what gave me a headache because we ride all kinds of coasters and amusement park rides and I never get headaches from them..?? This was our first marathon though. Do you know the name of the other guy that was filming? He got several shots from the ground. My daughter loved seeing herself on your video, thanks for posting.
His video was suggested to me, the algorithm was working today😂
@@ChristysCookingLifestyle I just saw this but I’m glad you found it! I think I’ve definitely built up a tolerance for multiple consecutive rides over the last year! I bet if I took a few months off my body couldn’t do it anymore.
So you remember how fanny packs used to be "lame?" Well Gen-Z are bringing them back, but wearing them over the chest and calling them cross bags or something like that. Also, I'm glad you had a good time! Hopefully they do something else like this some day.
I'll keep that in mind for the future 😂
Me and my daughter rode the marathon this morning. We were on it when you got in line. This was our first marathon and we had so much fun. I have a few coaster and amusement park videos too. I just post for fun😊
It was fun riding with y’all!
what day are you doing your marathon 👀
It’s on the 29th! It’s being put on by the park.
@@impracticallychristopher oh right duh 😅 wish I wasn't working or I'd gladly come down, hope it is a good time 🙌
I'm sad I won't be able to make it to this. I don't get off work until FunSpot closes
Bummer! It is odd to do such a big event on a Thursday during work hours.
@impracticallychristopher Yeah. I get why, but still makes me wonder about attendance. At least I'll probably have a video from you to look forward to! Hourly they keep doing events like this one.
Awesome riding with you and James!
Likewise! Next time I’ll do a better job actually capturing that! 😂
Velocicoaster's rattle could honestly just be a wheel issue. I imagine Universal's coasters probably go through a lot of wheels, and they could just be waiting on some time to put new wheels on.
It wasn’t bad, but it was noticeable enough. I couldn’t imagine their wheel budget 😂
Yeah I think it’s the wheels for sure most rides are smooth as butter, but I get one every now and then with a rattle.
Nice! I'm actually wanting to do pretty much the same thing, I just haven't actually set up my channel yet.
No time like the present to start! Best of luck to you.
@@impracticallychristopher Thank you! I'm looking forward to seeing your videos as they come out!
Looks a bit rough tbh
I remember when it was called the ninja and left people with minor concussion
Same i remember that too lol
Yeah so this is closest six flags park so I go to this one all the time
my dad says A HAWK DONT FLY LIKE THAT!
It isn’t that bad ✨💀
Yeah. But I couldn't keep my head up
That many rides on Arieforce already!!?? Sheesh
Yup! And the crazy thing is there are plenty of others with more!
You should ride the Apollo at Busch gardens Williamsburg Virginia
I have! It was a rainy day so I only got one ride though.
FIRST IN LETS GOOOO
