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.

Our third episode in our Cedar Point month has the one thing that was missing so far............. JANINE!!

Join Paul and Janine as they discuss the flats and food that Cedar Point has to offer.  In this episode we ask and answer some simple questions

Why does Cedar Point like the word "midway" so much?

Where can I get some decent BBQ?

What is a Chick-fli-A and why must the world never get a chicken sandwich on Sunday?

Cedar Point is huge and we hope this episode gives you some hidden gems for you to enjoy for your next visit.

You asked for it, you got it.  No seriously, last week we ran a poll on our Instagram (125rollercoaster) and asked you which coaster style did you want us to cover in our next ERT, and your voice was heard loud and clear, Launched Coasters it is.

While we have ridden over 30 coasters with a launch system, we are focusing on the following ones in this episode : Storm Runner - Hersheypark, Backlot Stunt Coasters (at Kings Island, Canada's Wonderland, and Kings Dominion), Jokers Jinx - Six Flags America, Verbolten - Busch Gardens Williamsburg, Powder Keg - Silver Dollar City, Sky Rocket - Kennywood, Gale Force - Castaway Cove, Copperhead Strike - Carowinds, Mr. Freeze Reverse Blast - Six Flags St. Louis, and Volcano - Kings Dominion.

So sit back and enjoy while Paul talks not just about each coaster, but ranks them so you have something to comment about.

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.

As we come to the end of season one of our podcast, we have one more park to highlight - Conneaut Lake Park (now known as the "NEW Conneaut Lake Park) outside of Meadville, PA.  This park has a history (it was founded in 1892) and we give an overview of that history, discuss our visit there in 2017, and will dive into what is happening currently and give our thoughts on it's future.

We also discuss the last Dorney Park credit we needed (Stinger) and what we thought of this unique coaster which was taken out later that year.

So if you love small parks and defunct coasters, do we have an episode for you.

Also check out our Instagram every Tuesday for our "T-Shirt Tuesday" posts.  The designs and creativity that goes into park merch is fantastic and this is our way of highlighting them.  Our Instagram is "125rollercoaster".

We are also adjusting out contests and you can hear all about the changes in this episode, Please follow us our our website and we can't wait to see you in the queue!!
