On this episode of Coaster Chronicles, we kick off the new year with a wide-ranging conversation about the amusement park world, touching on where things have been, what we are ready to leave behind in 2025, and what we think 2026 might look like.

We spend time reflecting on the history and closure of Six Flags America, talk through industry trends and guest experience, and share thoughts on Falcons Flight and what it represents in the current coaster landscape. Along the way, we share a listener story from ThrillNerds and keep things loose with plenty of side conversations and tangents.

Swizey is back with us for this episode, and we are also joined by Coaster Redux for a relaxed conversation where we get to know Erik and talk about his coaster journey and content.

Logan is off on vacation this week, but we hold things down and set the tone for the year ahead.
