      After all the "Hurler is so terrible" things I heard, and read, I was expecting something really bad. It wasn't THAT bad. For context, Blue Streak at Conneaut Lake Park is what started my coaster addiction.

    Don’t know if this is the right place to do this, but I’d love to see a Problematic Roller Coasters video on White Canyon at Yomiuriland. It was shut down in 2013 and was a collab between RCCA and Togo (Yes, this actually happened). The ride’s trains infamously had to be beefed up with padding to protect riders and is arguably the roughest coaster ever made.
    What’s even crazier is that the coaster that replaced it, Twist Coaster Robin, lasted for, if I remember correctly, a single day.

    Very cool you made it out to my home park again! And I miss Thunder Road, too. Many, many memories on that ride and the flat ride you showed that got removed (the one with the ship). I actually rode that to sike myself into getting on a coaster with inversions for the first time (carolina cyclone). To this day, I have a hard time calling "After Burn" anything other than "Top Gun" because of how many times I rode it when it was called that.

    • @TonyKimtheamusementparkfan
      @TonyKimtheamusementparkfan Год назад

      Paramount does that to you :D I've been used to calling Flight Deck at Canada's Wonderland Flight Deck since I didn't go to the park during the Paramount years, I went in 2009 for the first time, so a few years after Cedar Fair took over.

    • @horseshoe_nc
      @horseshoe_nc Год назад

      Carowinds is my home park as well. And yes, I still say Top Gun more than After Burn. It is actually my favorite coaster in the park, with Copperhead Strike being a close 2nd. I also still miss Thunder Road.

    Last year at my home park, cga, there was a day where they were so under staffed that they had ride attendants moving between rides. They would operate one ride for a bit then move to another then go back to the other, or to which ever had more demand at the moment. I started to follow the ride ops around so that way I could ride the rides😂

      @@TonyKimtheamusementparkfan it has been off and on for a bit. I went on Saturday, started off with almost nothing open, but by the end of the day they had almost everything open with maintenance being the only reason a few still weren’t. The park still has potential but with it sitting in limbo and leaning towards demise, it’s unlikely it will get better or even be given a chance to thrive.

    Also, I ran them under the hose when I got them and even moved my feet around/stretched the fabric and they really work! I thought my socks would be even just a little bit wet, but they were completely dry. Love these shoes! Thanks, brah! 😁
