125 Roller Coaster Challenge - Trimmed & Stapled Podcast

Introducing the 125 Roller Coaster Challenge - Trimmed & Stapled Podcast We know what you are thinking, ”Great another podcast about roller coaster top ten lists and ride debates”. Well yes, sort of... While Trimmed & Stapled will include our thoughts and opinions on the best hyper coasters we have ridden, which Disney parks has the best theming, and which wooden coaster needs to become the next RMC hybrid, we would also like to take a different approach. Each week we will spend about a half hour discussing our journey while we try to ride 125 new credits a season. So along with our lists we want to share our experiences, tell you why we choose to visit a particular park, why we did the coasters in a particular order and our journey from being GP to actually proudly calling ourselves enthusiasts. 125 Roller Coaster Challenge started out as a family adventure and each week we want to share that with you because when it is all said and done, the best memories come from the people who shared the ride. Trimmed & Stapled debuts on December 1st, 2020 and will have a new adventure every Tuesday. Come share the ride with us

The kick off of our Power Rankings videos on the channel got us thinking about the "flat" rides at parks and in this episode we will discuss the best "thrilling" flat ride and best "family" flat ride at each of the 15 parks we have visited this season.

How did we do??

Having to stay close to home in June, we visited two parks and "kicked" them for the season.  What do we mean by that, we recorded all the videos we had to for them so the next time we go, it's time for fun.

And talking about fun, we met our match when it comes to log flumes during this episode.

We made it out to Kings Dominion but of course things did  not go as planned.  We went hoping to Ride Rapterra, Video the Soak City water park, and ride the rethemed I-305.

Only one of the three happened, guess which one?

This season we made the decision to get...

Sesame Place is our most popular full length video of all time so you know we have to go back every year to update our playlist.  This year we stopped by for 3 hours (believe it,that is long enough for a 50 year old guy) and gave updates on the entire park, which we will be sharing here.

Six Flags America is closing in November, 2025.  There is nothing we can do to change that fact so it's time to visit and enjoy the park one last season.

That is what we did in this episode along with sharing what is actually new for this final season (yes, there is some new stuff).

We rode the coasters, ate the food, bought some merch, and are enjoying all the memories this park gave us since we started...

It's official, Six Flags America will be no more after November 2025.  It won't be saved, it won't be sold, it will just turn into the newest McMansion neighbor, newest Amazon warehouse or newest causal restaurant chain.

Let's talk about this park and memories along with what might be able to be saved for future generations.
