Top Thrill 2 at Cedar Point got off to a fast start with great reviews. But now the ride is grounded while they work on the ride's vehicles. How long will the ride be down and when can we expect to ride it again?

The Loch Ness Monster at Busch Gardens Williamsburg has returned. On this week's show, we'll hear about the new theming, storyline and some incredible surprises that the park has added to this iconic roller coaster.

The parks are asking their guests about the kinds of new roller coasters they'd like to see in the future. We have details about four new concepts that could change the theme park landscape.

This week, we come to you from inside Cedar Point as the park unveils Top Thrill 2! We'll have a ton of interviews and one of the first reviews of the record-breaking roller coaster.

This week, a headlining coaster is down for the count and one Disneyland gets news while another Disney park gets a new name. Plus, Mike is back from Las Vegas and has noticed a big change over his 20 visits.

Every year, we do a show where we answer questions from the listeners. Sometimes people send in more than one question....usually two or three. But one listener keeps a Google Doc open all year and jots down questions as he thinks of them. Then, he sends us the huge list of questions for this episode. This week, we will dedicate an ENTIRE SHOW to the list of questions from Kevin in Ohio. (He asks great questions that lead to fun discussion!)

Our listeners have A LOT of questions for us... so we're taking time to answer them all!

This week, Mike and EB tackle a ton of topics... including the announcement of a new park, testing of 2024 attractions, teases for 2025 attractions and much more! Plus, EB has news about a pemanent monument to the podcast that is being installed at a park!

The Coaster Radio podcast audience got together to watch Mike and EB record this week's episode. They listened as the guys debated 50 different amusement industry topics. Then, the audience got to cast their vote to decide whether the topic was HOT or NOT.

EB just returned from his trip to Atlanta to visit Six Flags Over Georgia where he rode his 300th coaster. He also stopped by to Fun Spot America Atlanta to take a ride on one of RMC's latest original creations "Arie Force One!"
