We Ranked All 6 Parks From Our Coaster Road Trip

Cedar Point has one of the best roller coaster lineups in the world — but with the park sitting on a peninsula and continuing to add major attractions, eventually something has to come out to make room for what’s next.In this episode, we rank the Cedar Point coasters we think are most likely to be removed next, from rides we could see sticking around for years to a few where the writing may already be on the wall.We talk about the futures of Magnum XL-200, Corkscrew, Iron Dragon, Rougarou, Cedar Creek Mine Ride, Raptor, Gemini and more — while also looking at which plots of land could make the most sense for Cedar Point’s next major addition.Some of these would be much harder to lose than others, but with limited room to expand, the next big coaster addition could eventually come at the expense of something already in the lineup.Which Cedar Point coaster do YOU think is most likely to be removed next?Let us know down below.#CedarPoint #RollerCoaster #ThemePark #SixFlags

ArieForce One is officially headed to Six Flags Magic Mountain — and after having a few days to process the news, we still have a lot of questions.In this episode, we break down why the move actually can make sense for Six Flags, especially with Magic Mountain losing X2 and continuing to position itself as one of the chain’s flagship parks. But we also explain why we still don’t think Magic Mountain was the best destination for ArieForce One.With Twisted Colossus already at the park, another RMC I-Box creates a lot of overlap — while parks like Carowinds and Kings Island could have used ArieForce One to fill much bigger holes in their coaster lineups.At the end of the day, we’re just happy ArieForce One is going to live on and that we’ll have the chance to ride it again. But just because we can understand why Six Flags made the decision doesn’t necessarily mean we think it was the right one.Do you think Magic Mountain was the right home for ArieForce One? Let us know down below.#ArieForceOne #SixFlagsMagicMountain #RMC #SixFlags #RollerCoasterRants

Cedar Point is still one of our favorite amusement parks anywhere — and its coaster lineup is almost impossible to beat. But after our latest trip to HalloWeekends, we walked away with the same question we’ve had a lot lately: why can a park this incredible also be so frustrating?In this episode, we break down the highs and lows of our most recent Cedar Point trip — from the elite coaster lineup and improved operations to ride closures, inconsistent communication, declining food quality, and some of the guest-experience issues that still need work.We also talk about what makes Cedar Point so special in the first place: the location, the resort atmosphere, camping at Lighthouse Point, and why — despite the frustrations — we always leave wanting to come back.What do you think Cedar Point gets right in 2026 — and what still needs to improve for 2027?#CedarPoint #SixFlags #rollercoaster #coasters #ThemeparksALL OF OUR RECOMMENDED GEAR:-Keep your phone CHARGED all day at the park (you'll NEED this for the digital Fast Lane) -- Anker Portable Charger: https://amzn.to/4bQKem9-Our GO-TO camera at parks that takes photo and video — Canon C50: https://amzn.to/4729svd-The cameras we use to film in-studio — Canon C70: https://amzn.to/4dsPYnn-The mics we use in-studio — Shure SM7db: https://amzn.to/470Bszq-Our on the road mics at parks — DJI Mics: https://amzn.to/4uPb7P4-The lens we use to get CLOSE UP of coasters — Canon RF 70-200: https://amzn.to/4uPb7P4-The BEST all-around lens to use at parks — Canon RF 24-70: https://amzn.to/3Pdkess-The ND Filter I use to make sure I get the crispy coaster shots — Peter McKinnon VND 2-5: https://amzn.to/4bMZtwl-Backpack that makes visiting parks easier — Nomatic McKinnon Camera Pack: https://amzn.to/3Pgr4NN-The Drone we use (not at parks lol) — Mavic Air 2: https://amzn.to/40CylKhAs an Amazon Associate, we do earn from qualifying purchases in the links above at no extra cost to you.

This week has been a difficult one for the roller coaster community.
