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.

The summer amusement park season is coming to an end here in the Northeast and most of the parks will be shifting to weekend only hours (hence the name) so in this episode we are discussing which parks we visited, which we still need to hit in September, and of course three listener / viewer questions.

Parks discussed include : Six Flags Great Escape, Keansburg Amusement Park, Niagara Amusement Park, Hersheypark, Dorney Park and Knoebels.  We talk about our experiences and of course the rides and food.

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.

While we continue to have writer's block when it comes to our Morey's Pier history episode, Doo Wop, here is another chapter in our "revisited" themed episodes and this one focuses on our home Cedar Fair park, Dorney.

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.
