125 Roller Coaster Challenge - Trimmed & Stapled Podcast: Recent Episodes

Paul Joseph Lorio III

Introducing the 125 Roller Coaster Challenge - Trimmed & Stapled Podcast

We know what you are thinking, ”Great another podcast about roller coaster top ten lists and ride debates”. Well yes, sort of...

While Trimmed & Stapled will include our thoughts and opinions on the best hyper coasters we have ridden, which Disney parks has the best theming, and which wooden coaster needs to become the next RMC hybrid, we would also like to take a different approach.

Each week we will spend about a half hour discussing our journey while we try to ride 125 new credits a season. So along with our lists we want to share our experiences, tell you why we choose to visit a particular park, why we did the coasters in a particular order and our journey from being GP to actually proudly calling ourselves enthusiasts.

125 Roller Coaster Challenge started out as a family adventure and each week we want to share that with you because when it is all said and done, the best memories come from the people who shared the ride.

Trimmed & Stapled debuts on December 1st, 2020 and will have a new adventure every Tuesday. Come share the ride with us

After our last episode, we were getting asked well which coasters have you ridden so far so we know what is available for the 400th and that got us thinking.

"Why not do episodes where we discuss every coaster ridden so here we are, kicking off with our first 25 coasters of the 125.

Enjoy

Well we finally got to our 399th coaster last week so now it's time to start thinking about which coaster should get the honor of number 400. Milestone coasters have to be something special with our 100th being The Beast / 200th being the Coney Island Cyclone and our 300th being the amazing hyper coaster Mako.

Which coaster should get this honor? Let's discuss.

Six Flags is at it again and this time they confirmed they are looking at closing down some additional "non core" parks but they don't say which parks fit that category, but we have some thoughts.

Here is which parks we think are safe, which are on the chopping block, and which we have no clue on.

We got a great response from our Top 20 Amusement Park but got comments about them all being large parks so we decided to put together our Top 10 small Amusement Parks.

So no chain parks, no parks that have closed and no Knoebels / Holiday World (they are pretty big now) so let's talk small independent parks and which are our favorites

Sometimes we forget why we go to the parks.

The podcast, YouTube channel, Tik Tok, Instagram, Facebook, etc.. It is easy to forget to actually have fun.

As the season comes to an end, we decided to visit two parks, not to film but to just play the day away.

As summer started to wind down, we still had to get to Kennywood's water park - Sandcastle Water Park so we headed down to film this Pittsburgh staple.

Well it only took about two hours so why not visit Kennywood itself and get the Let's Eat, Shop, Play and Showtime done also. Yep, we did it all and believe it or not, when we were done, we fell in love.

It is rare to hit two parks in one day and even more rare that they are in the same park chain but on a fine July day we hit both Clementon Park & Splash World and then Sahara Sam's water park. They are both IB Park's (Gene Staples's company) and both were a blast.

Let's talk about it.

Having to stay close to home in June, we visited two parks and "kicked" them for the season. What do we mean by that, we recorded all the videos we had to for them so the next time we go, it's time for fun.

And talking about fun, we met our match when it comes to log flumes during this episode.

This season we are all about visiting and filming new parks and earlier this year we added DelGrosso to our roster, now we did the same for Dutch Wonderland. If you are going by distance, Dutch Wonderland is our second closes park (we did a google maps and it is 30 miles with Hersheypark is 27) but we never got to visit it cause it really isn't for our age group.

This season we made the decision to get the pass and here is how our day went.

It's Mother's Day - Time to spend some time with the family at our home Cedar Fair Park (yes, it is still considered that for us).

We ride most of the coasters (sorry Wild Mouse), had some amazing food, looked at the merch, and just enjoyed the day at this amazing park

Six Flags America is closing in November, 2025. There is nothing we can do to change that fact so it's time to visit and enjoy the park one last season.

That is what we did in this episode along with sharing what is actually new for this final season (yes, there is some new stuff).

We rode the coasters, ate the food, bought some merch, and are enjoying all the memories this park gave us since we started the 125.

In this episode we are going back to 2018 and heading to our one trip to Silver Dollar City in Branson Missouri. We discuss the trip, the park, the map, the food and of course the roller coasters.

Was Time Traveler our favorites or did Outlaw Run still win our heart. Did we get the BBQ or did we venture into some of the other amazing offerings. Sit back and relax and let's go back in time to a place that time has forgotten.

It's time for our March queue episode where we discuss not just what we have done in the past month but what we are planning on doing as March rolls on bye.

The saying is usually March comes in like a Lion and leaves like a Lamb but our upcoming park schedule is packed. While our coaster count probably isn't going to be growing a lot, we are hitting museum's, aquariums, and even water parks.

Enjoy as we map out the next few weeks and we would love to hear which location is your favorite.

We are going back to our roots in this episode. When we started the podcast years ago the whole concept was to go over our trips as we reached for 125 different coasters. Since that time we have added more and more to our topics such as coaster rankings, waterpark reviews, and more.

Well this week the winning topic was back to the Park Journey and we left off heading to Worlds of Fun in Kansas City, MO. This was the furthest west we have ever traveled and we only had one day to visit this park.

Check it out as we discuss our thoughts on the park, the coasters, the food and more.

We also are launching our newest segment, Weekly Dispatch where we discuss five hot topics in the amusement park community.

It was loved so we are bringing it all back in 2024. Yes it isn't New Years Day yet but we have BIG PLANS for that day so we decided to ship this one out a bit early.

Big News Dropped Today with the Merger of Six Flags and Cedar Fair. While a lot of channels are discussing the numbers, let's talk about the parks.

While we know some parks are safe, for some, this might be a death blow. We will be going park to park to discuss how this merger might effect them.

Check out this stream and we will be giving away Halloween themed prizes throughout the night. Thanks for checking it out live on Facebook and YouTube and we can' wait to share the pain.

If you are a fan of the podcast, you know that the original idea was for us to discuss our trips as we tried to ride 125 different roller coasters in one year.

Kick back and relax and enjoy our discussion of this amazing park.

This week we are going back to what we are loved for, ranking our favorite coasters according to their "style". In past podcast episodes we discussed hyper coasters (over 200 to 299 ft), mine train and even RMC.

Yes, we are back after a LONG break and this episode let's you know why.  We also discuss the first five parks that we visited in 2023 which include Kings Dominion, Fun Spot America Orlando, Sea World Orlando, Fun Spot America Kissimmee and one of our top three parks, Busch Gardens Tampa.

Why were we gone? Is Iron Gwazi still our top roller coaster?  Did we ride Pipeline at Sea World Orlando?  Is Fun Spot America Orlando still one of our least favorite parks? and is Mine Blower really in need of the RMC treatment?

So many questions and this episode answers all of them and slightly more (maybe one more, we lost count).  Thanks for sticking with us and we can wait to see you in the queue all summer long

Last week we talked about the 26 roller coasters that caused us pain so now it's time to talk about the one's that give us joy.  Sit back and relax while we discuss our top 100 coasters from 100 to 51.  This is the longest podcast episode we have ever done but it will be well worth the listen.

We will be discussing roller coasters fro Hersheypark, Dollywood, Lake Compounce, Cedar Point, Busch Gardens Tampa, Morey's Piers, Seabreeze, Knoebels, Six Flags New England, Kennywood, Kings Island, Six Flags Darien Lake, Busch Gardens Williamsburg, Waldameer, Silver Dollar City, Lakemont Park, Carowinds, Six Flags America, Disney's Magic Kingdom, Casino Pier, Kings Dominion, and even La Ronde.

Each coaster gets a little love as we go through the rankings and let us know in the comments if you agree with the rankings.

The new year is upon us so it is time for our roller coaster rankings and like last year, we kick it all off with our "Ouch" list which is the 25 (in this case 26) worst roller coasters we have ridden.  This is a double episode because we breakdown the coaster styles, which parks have these coasters and even discuss the 8 coasters who have left the list either because we got better rides on them, or which is more likely, we found worst coasters to ride.

So sit back, grab a drink, and get ready to throw us a lot of comments because some of this picks will be controversial and we are ready for the debate.

Next week we will start our "Simply the Best" list with our top 100 to 51 coasters so let us know your thoughts and we can't wait to see you in the queue in 2023

  2. Meal Plans - Are they worth it?

  3. What else is there to do in the Hershey area?

See, these are pretty good questions and we are answering them along with updating everyone on what is going on with our YouTube channel now that we are starting to run out of daily content.

It's Thanksgiving and we know a lot of our listeners are on the road traveling to get some turkey for the holidays so we decided to throw together a cool ERT episode giving everyone a sneak peek into our 2023 plans.

In June of 2023 Paul is turning 50 so what better way to celebrate the entire year than to visit 50 different amusement parks.  Some will be new, some will be local, and some might be a pipe dream but all in all in this episode we will be discussing 25 of the 50 that are on the agenda for the new year.

Check out this episode with a lot of surprises and a lot of fun and give us your thoughts on these 25 and give us some guesses on what the next 25 will include.

We are already six episodes into season three and we finally got to our first new amusement park to discuss.  Well, is it really an amusement park or is it a family fun center?  This is for you to decide as we discuss our trip to Adventure Park, USA in Maryland.

Now a family fun center has a lot to offer children, teens, and adults alike and have become pretty standard.  Whether you like Laser Tag, Rock Walls, Arcades and even Rope Courses, family fun centers have all that and some great pizza to boot.  So what makes Adventure Park USA different is the fact that they have all of that AND an entire outdoor section with three roller coaster credits.  Now we got your attention!!

Once you step outside you have two adult coasters and a kiddie coaster, Scrambler, Tilt-A-Whirl, a carousel and even some gem mining like a lot of smaller amusement parks.  Are you starting to see our point, this is either a small amusement park or the greatest family fun center in the world.  No matter what you think, this park is a must visit for everyone.  You can buy a pass or just get the tickets to ride the attractions you want.

Enjoy this episode featuring this unique park and all it has to offer.

Our next episode will be dropping on Thanksgiving and will feature a quick discussion on 50% of the 50 amusement parks we are visiting in 2023 when Paul turns.............. you guessed it...........50.

One of our most popular segments we created for season 2 was our Brake Run Talk monthly segment where we talked with other coaster and amusement park enthusiasts about what they are passionate about and this year we are kicking it off with a live feed and discussion with Austin and Owen from Park Hoppers Radio.

This is one of the newer podcasts in the amusement park / coaster enthusiast realm but their passion for the hobby is intense.  In this episode we will be discussing with Austin and Owen what got them into the podcast business, what makes their podcast different, their favorite trips, snacks, flatrides and more.

Make sure you check out their podcast wherever you get your podcast from (Spotify, Apple Podcasts, etc....) and let us know what you think of our Brake Run Talk segments and who you would like to hear from next in December.

As you know we kicked off our 2nd year doing our 125 Roller Coaster Challenge riding Twisted Timbers at their media day so we figured, maybe we can be one of the first riders on Cedar Point's newest roller coaster, Steel Vengeance.  We found out that Lebron James was holding a first rider benefit and we got our butts down to Cedar Point to attend.

This episode tell you about that event along with our thoughts on one of the top ten roller coasters in the world (yes we are serious, this is a must ride for anyone who loves roller coasters).  So why is this episode called Steve?  Think about it, look at the name and think about it.

You asked for it, you finally got it.  Finally an episode where Paul isn't the only voice out there, yes Janine is back and in this ERT episode we catch up with her and find out where she has been (hint, it's her happy place).

Yes, Janine just got back from Disney World and she will be updating us on what is new and exciting at the Magic Kingdom, EPCOT, and Hollywood Studios (yep, she rode Guardians).  While she has been gone for a bit, she is still a major part of 125 Roller Coaster Challenge and will be popping in and out of the podcast at least once a week.  So sit back and let's learn about Disney World a bit on this episode.

Season 3 is in full swing and in this episode we are revisiting Six Flags America while discussing the Six Flags chain (where is was, where it was going, and where it is now).

Six Flags America is a park on the Maryland side of DC and it does not get the love it deserves.  We went back to get a coaster credit we missed in our first year (yes a kiddie coaster but our 2nd and 3rd year of the 125 were very shameful on our coaster counts) but we discuss what has changed over the years at this under appreciated park.

The second half of the episode discusses what is going on with the Six Flags chain as a whole, our thoughts and what we see for the future of this large amusement park chain.  We would love to get your feedback so make sure you leave comments for us to respond too.

Season Three kicks off with our first event in 2018 which was the Media Day event for King Dominion's newest roller coaster, Twisted Timbers.

That's correct, we somehow got invited to spend a March Day at King's Dominion and become one of the first riders of this amazing RMC coaster (currently our favorite coaster for 2021). 

Now did we get permission because we are famous podcasters? well no.  Was it because we had 10k followers on Facebook? Sure...  Was it because we had a Make A Wish credit? not ever close.  We got to attend this media event because we were and still are members of ACE (money well spent).

So we kick off the season discussing the event, this amazing coaster, and much more.

We were sitting down and writing out our 100th episode of the Trimmed and Stapled Podcast when we thought, hey we have no life, why not make this one live.

At first we thought Saturday but you know we would be at a park somewhere, how about Sunday?  NFL weekend, nobody would watch, Monday??  Same issue so we thought.  Friday night, yea only happy couples do things on that day.

So join us tonight at 8pm EST for a live episode where we will discuss numerous things and answer a lot of questions (please have questions).

Today's coaster style ERT is one that everyone loves, and everyone hates, and heck, everyone LOVES to HATE and that is the Vekoma Boomerang model.  Yes, these cloned rides are all over the US and even the world but for today we will be discussing and ranking the 13 that we have had the "pleasure" to ride over the past five years.  While the stats are all the same, not all boomerangs are created equal.

We will be discussing the two at Six Flags New England along with the one's at Six Flags St. Louis, Worlds of Fun, Hersheypark, Morey's Piers, Lake Compounce, Six Flags Great Escape, Kings Island, Dorney Park, Canada's Wonderland, Carowinds, and Six Flags Darien Lake.

Some are inverted, some are modernized, and some are even 200 ft tall.  Some might even be a new credit (looking at you Jolly Rancher Remix).  So sit back and enjoy this LONG discussion about everyone's favorite neck snapping ride besides the SLC.

Our 2017 amusement park season finally ended with one more ride at our home park (Hersheypark) we a quick ride on Cocoa Cruiser as credit 131.  When we finished we reflected on some other roller coasters we had the opportunity to ride together before the adventure and they included rides from Hersheypark, Knoebels, Kings Dominion, Cedar Point and even Dutch Wonderland.  This episode will also discuss those coaster credit which left our first year coaster count at 140.

As August starts to fade into autumn and the amusement park summer season comes to a close, it's that time of year where the amusement parks start to announce their 2023 attractions.  This ERT episode will focus on the announcements from the Cedar Fair chain.  If you are not familiar with Cedar Fair, they own 11 different amusement parks in the US which include : Cedar Point, Valley Fair, Dorney Park, Knotts Berry Farm, Carowinds, Kings Dominion, Kings Island, Michigan's Adventure, Worlds of Fun, Canada's Wonderland, and California Great America.  While not all of these parks will be getting new attractions, we will be discussing all of them along with the new Season Pass options that some of the parks are also receiving.

Cedar Fair is an amazing chain and even though this won't be the greatest year in their history, the attractions coming are exciting.

As our second season comes to a close, there was one more park we visited after our Morey's Piers adventure and that was Playland's Castaway Cove in Ocean City, NJ.  Even though we visited this pier that has four coasters on it, we only rode one, the new for 2017 S&S coaster called GaleForce.  This short episode discusses the park and how this new attraction was riding it's first year (not perfectly). 

2017 was a huge year for us kicking off our 125 Roller Coaster Challenge and we ended our adventure at this seaside amusement pier.

As we finish up our second season the past month had one thing in common, the Jersey Shore so in this ERT Paul & Janine (yes she is still alive) discuss the amusement piers they have visited and of course rank them.

The piers include Coney Island (yes it is technically NYC but for this episode we are considering it Northern North NJ), Jenkinson's Boardwalk, Casino Pier, Steel Pier, Gillian's Wonder Pier, Playland Castaway Cove, and Morey's Piers.

Sit back, relax, stick a umbrella in the sand, open up your cooler and put your toes in the sand because this episode is 100% summer fun (with a hint of strong opinions)

It has finally arrived.  Yes this episode was promised almost two months ago but after a lot of research and so many different scripts, we have finally got you the Doo Wop episode which is a brief history of not just Morey's Piers, but the amusement piers of Wildwood, NJ.  Why are we putting it that way?

While Morey's Piers is what we currently have on the Wildwood Boardwalk, in the late 70's and 80's (i.e. when Paul was a kid), there were six piers operating and in this episode we will be discussing the "lost piers".  Who remembers Hunt's Pier (also known as the NEW Hunts Pier, Conko's Party Pier, and finally Dinosaur Beach).  How about the Hellhole and Meteor from Sportland Pier?  How about the Nickel's Midway Pier with it's Dracula's Castle and two roller coasters.

The more we dug into the history, the more we learned and remembered, even digging through old photos to prove that there were some lost credits in the past.

Kick back and enjoy this highlight history of Wildwood which turned into a true labor of love.

Our 2022 coaster season is in full swing and with it being the beginning of the month, it's time to let you know how our July came out and what our goals are for August as our summer starts to wind down.  Paul was all over the Northeast this past month with stops at Six Flags Darien Lake, Niagara Amusement Park (actually mostly their Splash World), Land of Make Believe, Casino Pier, Dorney Park, Hersheypark, Jenkinson's Boardwalk and Storybook Land.  So many new parks (and coaster credits were had).

So enjoy this episode and find out what adventures await in August (and which coaster is lining up to be their 350th coaster).  Stay tuned for the long awaited Doo Wop episode as Season 2 comes to a close.

We will discuss the changes to the park in the last five years and how our opinions have changed on different food options, flat rides, the future of the park and of course, their coaster lineup.

As we finish season two we are already looking ahead to some new ideas for season three and one of them is the "Revisited" monthly segment where we go back to parks we did when we started the 125 Roller Coaster Challenge five years ago and see what has changed.  While we were going to kick this off in September, Paul had his birthday where he went back to our home park of Hersheypark and rode all 13 coasters so it just made sense to do this episode now.

So what has changed in the past five years, well when it comes to Hersheypark, a lot is an understatement.  Whether it is turning Reese Cup Challenge into Cupfusion, adding a water coaster to the Boardwalk, and even adding a 200ft B&M coaster while making a Vekoma Boomerang into a pretty fun experience, this park has done a lot.  On top of that, Paul will be discussing all the coasters and which have gotten better (looking at you Sooper Dooper Looper) and which need to simply go (you know who we mean, we don't have to say it out loud).

Enjoy our Revisit to Hersheypark and have a great Father's Day Weekend

So what have we been up to?  Glad you asked.  Our May and early June schedule was pretty solid and we got to revisit a lot of our local parks.  Even though we went there to enjoy the rides, food, and fun, we also got A LOT of content for our new YouTube channel (yep, we are hyping that again).  In this episode we discuss the following :

  1. How are the two new Jolly Rancher themed rides at Hersheypark?

  2. What's new at Dorney Park and how is Steel Force and Thunderhawk riding this season?

  3. Why is Knoebels so awesome and why are the daily hours so short in 2022?

  4. Why we don't have a Medusa shirt to give away and did Six Flags Great Adventure get a Home Depot credit card with all the new paint they are using?

  5. Which of the tens of questions we get every month did we decide to answer in this episode of the Q?

All that an more will be discussed on this weeks episode.  Don't forget to get social with us.  How?

We are back!!!  Did you miss us.

We are sorry for the almost month delay in getting you out this episode but we know it was worth the wait.  Morey's Piers has some great roller coasters but to not have an episode about the food and the flat rides would be a sin.

This episode discusses each pier and highlights both of these aspects.  We also throw in some information about the two water parks for good measure.  Highlights include : Zoom Phloom, Dante's Dungeon, Giant Wheel and of course Curley's Fries.

Thank  you for enjoying what we do here and we promise not to disappear like that again anytime soon.  Next week we are going over our Summer Time Q  discussing our trips to Hersheypark, Dorney Park, Knoebels and Six Flags Great Adventure and don't miss our conclusion on Morey's Piers with a brief history lesson called "Doo Wop"

Our final Brake Run Talk for our second season is one we have been excited for since we started our journey in 2017.  Paul welcomes The Legend from In The Loop. 

We have been huge fans of these guys since we first watched their videos as we planned our first trips and even today when we want to check out a new park, learn about a new zoo, or even figure out what a cruise is all about.  While all of the guys at In The Loop are fantastic, we love when Legend and Molly are showing us new merch, where the places are for the best drinks, and how to get all of our credits quickly.

We ask him how In The Loop started, How all the guys became part of the group, upcoming trips (hint, they are heading to Europe soon) and many other things.  As we wind down our second season, we are honored to have had the opportunity to take with Vince, Gabby, Chris, and The Legend this season and can't wait for our new Brake Run Talks in Season 3.

Yes, it took 84 episodes but we finally got to our 125th roller coaster and it was at the amazing Morey's Piers in Wildwood, NJ.  While we won't tell you in the description which coaster got that honor, we will tell you which coasters we rode that day and will let you know we did a Facebook poll and they picked the winner that day.  Also the park was simply amazing and made us feel like VIP's that day with ride passes, exclusive ride on our 125th coaster and even a history book which will come in handy for our third episode we are doing in two weeks about the history of these piers.

So which ride will it be?

Flitzer which is now defunct

How about the original boomerang Sea Serpent (it isn't a clone if you are the first)

Great White which was the last CCI coaster ever built

Doo Wooper because who doesn't love a mouse themed to a 1960's hamburger stand

Fly the Great Noreaster which is the best SLC ever built (mainly because it was rebuilt)

or Rollies Coaster simply because it is a cool name.

Enjoy this episode as we reveal which of these coasters will forever be in our hearts as our 125th coaster credit.

Next week we will discuss the food and flats at this seaside amusement park.

We will discuss each coaster, the pros and cons and of course we will be ranking them in the end.  Some are great rides while others actually have made our OUCH episodes in the past.  Let us know your thoughts on these amusement park staples.

Next Episode kicks off our three part on Morey's Piers in Wildwood New Jersey discussing the coasters (past and present), the food and flats and even the history of this seaside amusement resort.

Our first year of the 125 Roller Coaster was about one thing, getting to 125. While we have made a few mistakes in our first year (you will hear the big one soon) we have a few regrets also and one of them is we did a few hit and runs in 2017. What is a hit and run? We would run into a park (usually one of the smaller ones) and get the credit and go. We did that with Waldameer, we did it with Conneaut Lake Park, and we did it with the subject of this episode, Quassy Amusement Park in Middlebury CT.

We ran into this park because we knew this was the day we were going to get our 125th roller coaster credit at another park so we came and went within an hour to grab Wooden Warrior at 121. We have since learned a lesson from doing this which is you have to come and enjoy these smaller parks because they truly are hidden gems. So in this episode we will be talking about some of the history of Quassy, we will talk about Wooden Warrior and do a walk through of this historic park.

But as a bonus we will also be discussing our YouTube channel and what type of videos we are focusing on and we will finally let you know our thoughts on Relief Band. Yes, we have finally given this device a decent test and we are not going to hold back. If you get motion sickness like Paul, this is a must listen too.

The 125 Roller Coaster Challenge is based in the mid atlantic and because of that, their coaster season usually does not launch til April but this year was an exception.  Trips to Busch Gardens Tampa, Sea World Orlando, Universal Studios - Islands of Adventure and even Busch Gardens Williamsburg have already occurred and because of that, Paul got to ride three to the newest and most anticipated coasters of the year.  Yes, Paul in a three week span got to ride VelociCoaster, Pantheon, and Iron Gwazi and in this episode, he will review them and give you the correct (yes correct) order for these amazing coasters.

Do you agree?  Let us know!!  How??  Well let us tell you.

Our first episode of Brake Run Talk discusses Six Flags Great Adventure with fellow coaster enthusiast Vincent Viola.

This is Vince's home park and while Paul & Janine know Great Adventure pretty well, Vince will provide some incites along with stories and tidbits about this Six Flags flagship on the east coast.

We love this park and having Vince as a life long insider gave us some amazing tips such as where to find the best meal, what was Batman & Robin - The Chiller like, and of course our mutual love of El Toro.

Brake Run Talk is a monthly episode of the 125 Roller Coaster Challenge - Trimmed & Stapled Podcast and will be live on Facebook & YouTube.  An audio version will be released on the podcast and can be found wherever you get your podcasts. 

Our next episode will feature Gabby Gomez from Coasters & Brews so keep an eye on our social media pages for information on when that episode will drop.

The final leg of our epic Florida trip takes Paul for the first time to Universal Studios - Islands of Adventure.  Yes, he was there to enjoy this stunning and perfectly themed park but he was also there to get three big credits (yes, he left Flight of the Hippogriff for another trip).  In this episode he will answer the following :

Is Hagrid's Magical Creatures Motorbike Adventure worth the triple digit wait times?

Is Incredible Hulk a launch or looping coaster?

City Walk, could there be a better place to go on a Friday night?

Which island is his favorite (it's a tie but not what you think they would be)

Does he even know anything about Harry Potter and does it really matter at Universal?

and of course, does VelociCoaster live up to the hype?

Paul fought the President's Day crowds to explore this amazing park and he has some thoughts, but we all want to know yours.  Tell us your favorite island.  Your favorite flat ride?  Where do you like to eat at when there?  How can you let us know?

We have a double episode for you this week.

While today was supposed to be part two of our Florida trip featuring Sea World Orlando, it's also the first of the month which means our Q is due.

Those familiar with our podcast know the Q is where we discuss what we did the past month and our plans for the new month (with some listener questions thrown in) and this episode is no different (just Janine is missing). Our first half of this episode fulfills your Q needs but the second half about Sea World Orlando will keep listening.

Not going to lie, Sea World Orlando started off on the wrong foot with three major issues in the first two hours.  Is this park giving La Ronde a run for their money on our least favorite park?  Mako, Kraken, and Manta might have something to say about that and let's not forget the newest credit this park has, Ice Breaker.

Full review of the day, the good, the bad, and the ugly.

Yes, we know this episode is a day late but we have a good excuse, PAUL JUST CAME BACK FROM FLORIDA!!!

This episode is part one of a three part series focusing on this trip.  Paul went to Sea World Orlando, Paul finally got to Universal Islands of Adventure, and the focus of this episode, Paul went back to Busch Gardens - Tampa and he got to ride IRON GWAZI.

Yes, he will be discussing this amazing new RMC but he will also be answering some additional questions.

How is the Mardi Gras events at this park?

How is the paint job going for Montu?

Do people actually like Tigris?

and is Kumba still the king of the B&M rattle?

Paul got to spend two days at this amazing park and got over 15 rides on the new purple tracked beauty thanks to having a Plat pass (the episode name is starting to make sense now isn't it).  Will Iron Gwazi live up the hype?  Is it better than Steel Vengeance?  How does it compare to VelociCoaster?

Check out this episode and we can't wait to share part two of this adventure entitled "Breakin the Ice"

When our listeners have a suggestion or a really cool idea, we love it and will make sure we cover it.  A month ago we had a suggestion from an anonymous listener on the Audible platform (we actually didn't know we were on it) who asked us our thoughts on the next RMC conversion which is a fantastic subject so here you go.  Which current roller coasters do we think RMC should turn into the newest Twisted Timbers, Steel Vengeance, and of course Iron Gwazi?

While you have to listen to the episode to hear the coasters, here are the parks that get mentioned : Morey's Piers, Indiana Beach, Hersheypark, Mt Olympus, Silverwood, Universal Orlando, Dutch Wonderland, and numerous Cedar Fair, Sea World and Six Flags parks.

We go over the Dinn and CCI coasters that would make good layouts along with five parks we think need an RMC.  Finally we give your our top 5 (actually 6 because Janine mentioned one that Paul forgot about).  So you love RMC coasters, this is our thoughts on who might be next to be CONVERTED.

Can't get enough of Paul & Janine?  Check out the BXG Podcast episode 81 where they sit down and discuss Cedar Point, Top Coasters and of course the sad history of Geauga Lake Amusement Park.  We had an amazing time being interviewed and make sure you follow our friends at BXG Podcast if all your cultural insights and fun.

Next week's episode will focus on Paul's recent trip to Busch Gardens Tampa and Sea World and will have his opinions of the parks and of course Ice Breaker and Iron Gwazi.  It will come out on Thursday due to being out of town (hard to pre record this episode when you have to ride them first).  Love to meet you and will be at Busch Gardens Tampa on the 18th and Sea World on the 22nd.

Now that all the Top Coaster lists are done it's time to get back to our journey to 125 different roller coasters and we ended our first ever western road trip at Waldameer in Erie, PA.  This park is special not only because it is the 10th oldest operating amusement park in the United States, but because this small park proves that a regional / neighborhood park can survive in today's mega corporate world.

Nestled along the Lake Erie coast, this park had a beauty all of it's own.  This episode will discuss the history, flat rides, food, their amazing water park (Water World) and of course the coasters.  While we are only creating one episode for Waldameer, we hope that after listening to this one you are ready to check it out in 2022.

The excitement has been building, at least for Paul & Janine...... okay, maybe just Paul but it's finally time to share with the world our top 25 coasters as of 2021.

Our little adventure has 320 credits in the last four years so these top 25 coasters are truly the best of the best. While we don't want to spoil the episode, here is a list of the parks where these coasters reside :

Dorney Park (we know, we are shocked also), Sea World Orlando, Dollywood, Kentucky Kingdom, Busch Gardens Williamsburg, Carowinds, Hersheypark, Kings Dominion, Busch Gardens Tampa, Cedar Point, Knoebels (we bet it's Flying Turns), Six Flags Over Georgia, Kings Island, Six Flags New England, and Six Flags Great Adventure.

Now we know this list is going to be controversial but like the great Craig Ferguson says, "We Look Forward To Your Letters"

We love getting feedback so make sure you let us know what we got right and where we were WAY off. How can you let us know?

Yes, we know it's not the first of the month but with our second part of "Simply The Best" schedule for that date (discussing our top 25 roller coasters) we figured we would knock out our Q episode a bit early.  What's a Q?  If you are new to our podcast, this is where we discuss what we did the past month and what we plan on doing in the upcoming month.  We also added Listener Questions into the mix and make some podcast announcements.

So what's on deck for this episode?

While January was slow, our February is picking up with a trip to Florida along with our yearly waterpark adventure.  We answer pressing questions like, "where is Devin?, "Are we going international?" and "which chain between Six Flags and Cedar Fair do we prefer?"

We also announce our first two (even three) guests on our new "Brake Run Talk" segment.

So yes this is a short episode but what do you expect when you have such a big one coming on Tuesday.  So enjoy this episode and send in your listener questions for our March Q.

The wait is over, time for us to unveil our top 50 roller coaster for 2021.  This episode discusses our 50th to 26th coasters and to say there was some debate between Paul & Janine is the understatement of the day.  What started out with a lot of agreement shifting into head shakes and groans by the time our 35th coaster was discussed.

Parks where these roller coaster reside include : Holiday World, Kings Island, Kennywood, Six Flags Great Adventure, Cedar Point, Busch Gardens Williamsburg, Carowinds, Luna Park (bet you can guess this one), Dollywood, Sea World Orlando, Hersheypark, Six Flags St. Louis, Six Flags Over Georgia, Silver Dollar City, Kentucky Kingdom, and Nickelodeon Universe at American Dream Mall (another one you should guess).

We have been lucky to ride 320 coaster so far in our journey and these are truly the best of the best.  Simply The Best 2021 (part 2) will be dropping next Tuesday and we can't wait to hear your comments.

It's that time of the year again, time for the 125 Roller Coaster Challenge worst 25 roller coasters we have ridden.  These coasters are so bad that most of them actually hurt.

Join Paul & Janine as we discuss each coaster and why they are on the list.  Not to ruin the surprise, we are going to share the parks where the rides are rather than give you the complete list.  The parks (and number of coasters they have that made the list) include:

Six Flags Great Adventure, Carowinds, and Six Flags New England each have three coasters on this list.

Kings Dominion, Six Flags Darien Lake, Six Flags America, and Canada's Wonderland each have two coasters on the list.

Hersheypark, Kings Island, Playland @ Rye, Knoebels, Conneaut Lake Park, Casino Pier, La Ronde, Worlds of Fun, and even the great Cedar Point have a ride on our list.

Yes, this episode is all about the bad and the ugly but never fear, our Simply The Best episodes are around the corner.  So take a listen and let us know your thoughts.

It's the most wonderful time of the year.  No seriously, it's time for the 125 Roller Coaster Ranking for 2021 and today's ERT is kicking it off with a discussion of the coaster styles we have already discussed in our second season.

So far we have talked about the floorless, inverted, classic wooden coasters, launched, looping and hyper coasters we have ridden but for this episode, we are going to rank each one of these coasters as they compare to each other for 2021.  Add in the fact that Janine who wasn't available for most of the coaster style ERT's will be able to give her fun opinions so this is a great way to get everyone ready for our Ouch 2021 episode coming next week.

Which is the better invert, Montu, Banshee, Afterburn, Great Bear, Talon....?

Which has a better launch, Storm Runner or Verbolten?

Which hyper is king between Goliath at SFOG, Mako, Nitro, or Diamondback?

Is Phoenix still the best classic wooden coaster?  How does it compare to other wooden coasters?

So many questions will be answered and these ERT episodes are also fun with Paul & Janine not always agreeing on the rankings.

How can we afford to visit all these parks every year (we focus on meal plans, season passes, memberships, and even discuss hotels for Six Flags, Cedar Fair, SeaWorld and some smaller parks).

Why do we never discuss shows when we talk about the parks?

What are our plans for this spring?

Welcome to our second episode of Kings Island month and today we are going to be focusing on the Food and the Flats.  So why is the episode entitled, "I'm Blue, Da Ba Dee..."?  Well first of all, we know you have that annoying song now playing in your head but also if you have every been to Kings Island, you know they are famous for their blue soft serve ice cream.  So where can you find it?  Well that is why you listen to this podcast.  Other things we will be discussing include :

Every Cedar Fair park has a Panda Express, where can we find it at Kings Island?

Do they have any extreme flat rides?

Is there anything else but Flight of Fear and Orion in Area 72?  Why is it called Area 72?

Can I get to the water park (Soak Zone) from inside Kings Island?

You have the questions, we are here to help provide you with some answers.  Yes, Kings Island has an amazing list of roller coasters, this episode tells you about all the other things that make this park simply amazing.

Rejoice!!  It is King's Island Month.

That's right, for the next four episodes we are focusing on this amazing park outside of Cincinnati and we always kick off our park discussions with the roller coasters.  This park has one of the best lineups in the country and it also worked out perfectly that one of these coaster would be our 100th coaster credit (hence the title of the episode).  So of the topics we will go over in this episode includes:

Is Orion a giga coaster?

How are the restraints on Banshee?

Is the Beast night ride really as good as they say?

and which coaster surprised us the most with how amazing it was?

Yep, this is a longer episode but that is because every coaster at this park deserved a through review.  This is also our last episode before Christmas so we are hoping everyone has an amazing holiday season with friends and family.

Our second part of our Kentucky Kingdom adventure goes through a walk-through of this amazing little park focusing on the flats, food, and their fantastic water park, Hurricane Bay.

Yes, looking at their map, this park can be a bit confusing (we got pretty lost the first time) but hopefully after this episode, you can find the kiddie section (King Louie's Playland), figure out how to get on Kentucky Flyer, and of course sit down with your favorite drink and unwind (we recommend the Hurricane Bay Beach Club Bar).

Kentucky Kingdom is just a great place to enjoy and now that it is part of the Dollywood / Silver Dollar City family, we know the future is bright.  Highly on our list to visit again in 2022.

Our journey continues as we leave Cedar Point behind and head to Kings Island, however, we get slightly sidetracked when we realize how close we are to Kentucky Kingdom (and our first RMC).  Join us on this episode as we discuss this little park with some BIG coasters.  Some of the questions we answer include :

How the heck do we get into the park?

Why are there so many airplanes overhead?

What happened to T1?  Will we get a T4?

Why is every roller coaster named after a weather event?

Yes, Kentucky Kingdom has some unique aspects to it but we love this park and can't wait to dive into our two episode discussion about this little gem.

After a lot of research (okay, we googled for about two hours) do we have a list for you.

What is Dorney Park doing new this year?  How about Kings Island?  Is Hersheypark opening a new ride?  Why are they painting Bizarro at Six Flags Great Adventure?

Last year we downloaded our first ever episode of the Trimmed & Stapled podcast so how do we celebrate?  We download our first ever crossover on our 50th episode (yes we know it says 49 but you have to remember our intro which is episode 0).

For this ERT, Paul sits down with John from Thrill Seekers Podcast (check them out, if you like what we do, you will love what they do) and they discuss the local holiday events taking place at their homeparks.

Paul talks about Sweet Lights & Christmas Candylane at Hershey Park, Holiday in the Park at Six Flags Great Adventure, and Joy Through the Grove at Knoebels.

John discusses the two holiday events he visited while at IAAPA (yes we are extremely jealous) which were Sea World Orlando and Busch Garden's Tampa.  He also talks about his local parks at Six Flags St. Louis & Great America and Silver Dollar City.

While discussing these amazing events, they both go off course a bit talking about upcoming coasters, random holiday feasts, and the joys of a decent hyper coaster.  We love talking to fellow enthusiasts and we can't wait to cross over again in the near future.

So sit back as you drive to your Thanksgiving destinations, start planning your Black Friday shopping, and dream of all the new attractions coming in to the parks in 2022.  Thank  you for all your support in the last year (over 3k in downloads) and make sure you check out our final episode of the Cedar Point saga on Tuesday when Paul & Janine discuss Coaster Mania and rank their favorite coasters at America's Roller Coast.

Season Two has begun and we are kicking it off with Cedar Point Month!!

That's right, this is the first of four upcoming episodes focusing on this gem of an amusement park on the shores of Lake Erie.  Paul is flying solo (Janine is opening a new store this month so her time is LIMITED) and this episode is focusing on the roller coasters that were ridden in 2017 by Paul & Devin for the first year of the 125 Roller Coaster Challenge. 

That's right, no mention of Steel Vengeance yet (or Mean Streak, Disaster Transport, etc...) because those are coming in future episodes, this one is about the lucky 13 coaster they conquered that day.  So if you love Millie, Magnum, Rougarou, and Gemini.  Sit back and enjoy this episode as we kick off season 2.

You want to win cool stuff like Greg and Adrian have already?  Check us out on Facebook & Instagram at 125rollercoaster and vote in our polls.  Each vote gets you into our weekly Sunday drawing for some amusement park gear.  Remember to Follow Us, Write a Review, or Comment on an episode to get additional entrees and we can't wait to see you in the queue in 2021.

So, did you miss us?  Yes, we know there is no excuse for our podcast to disappear for almost two months but in our defense, we do have to work sometimes.  Never fear, our busy wedding season is behind us and we are ready to go with new episodes every week, along with our second season kicking off on November 1st taking us into the second part of our 125 Roller Coaster Journey.

This episode we recorded in early August right after our Carowinds trip and it talks about one of our favorite coaster styles, the inverted coaster.  We have been lucky enough to ride 11 of these B&M beauties and we will discuss each one and in the end, we rank them.

Is Montu the best inverted coaster?

Does the theming of Banshee (it does scream when you drop) put it over the top?

Where do our two home park inverts (Talon - Grip of Fear and Great Bear) fall into these rankings.

We are back and if you love coaster rankings, this episode is for you.

Our journey continues and this time we visit beautiful Kennywood in western Pennsylvania.  So what did we think of this park in 2017?  Not too much but there was a reason for that.  Expectations.

In this episode we discuss what our expectations were, why we had them, and how our thought might have changed a bit after our 2020 visit.

We also discuss the Kennywood roller coasters, except for Steel Curtain which we are hoping to ride tomorrow, and answer these questions.

Is Phantom's Revenge safe?

Which of the three classic wooden coasters is the best?

How many coaster credits is Racer and why?

and if Sky Rocket is such a great coaster, why are there so many Sky Rocket II?

Kennywood has so much love in the coaster community and it broke our hearts that it was ranked our worst park in 2017 & 2018.  See if you agree.

As the 2021 season kicks off, why not discuss our favorite coasters so far?

Paul is flying solo today and will be discussing his Top 50 Roller Coaster so far.  While many people rank coasters by their height, speed, and hype, every one of these coasters has one thing in common, an amazing ride experience. 

The ride location in the park, a particular signature element that is unique to that coaster, or even a personal moment that makes this ride stand out from the crowd.  There are so many factors as to why a coaster makes this list and Paul goes into great detail discussing not just the coaster, but all the factors as to why it makes the our Top 50.

This episode discusses coasters 50 to 26 with the list concluding next week.

We are back with another amusement park / roller coaster lesson and this time Paul is flying solo.  Why is that?  Well, the topics on this ERT is completely for the coaster nerd at heart and we didn't want to put Janine or Kylee through it.

Paul will discuss the different types of amusement parks (there are five of them) and how the 125 Roller Coaster Challenge compares similar coasters and how we decide where each coaster fits best.  We have 36 different categories depending on how riders are seated, the height of the coasters, and even who created it.

This episode is made for discussions so please comment if you agree or disagree with our categories, let us know how you decide if a racing coaster is one or two credits, and  ask us any coasters questions you might have.

It's Dorney Park Week!!! (which is five more days than Cedar Fair gives this park a year).

Paul and Janine discuss their home Cedar Fair park and try to figure out why it just doesn't get the love it deserves.

They will be discussing Dorney's flat ride collection, go on a walk through of the different sections of the park, and of course debate their coaster lineup. 

This episode actually has a lot of different opinions when it comes to the Dorney Park coasters with Paul hating Thunderhawk and Janine REALLY hating Hydra. 

Thank God they can agree, Talon is by far the best coaster in the park.

Sit back and enjoy this first part of the Dorney Journey with our ERT this week discussing their waterpark and of course, the food.
