125 Roller Coaster Challenge - Trimmed & Stapled Podcast

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

After our last episode, we were getting asked well which coasters have you ridden so far so we know what is available for the 400th and that got us thinking.

"Why not do episodes where we discuss every coaster ridden so here we are, kicking off with our first 25 coasters of the 125.

Enjoy

Well we finally got to our 399th coaster last week so now it's time to start thinking about which coaster should get the honor of number 400.  Milestone coasters have to be something special with our 100th being The Beast / 200th being the Coney Island Cyclone and our 300th being the amazing hyper coaster Mako.

Which coaster should get this honor?  Let's discuss.

Six Flags is at it again and this time they confirmed they are looking at closing down some additional "non core" parks but they don't say which parks fit that category, but we have some thoughts.

Here is which parks we think are safe, which are on the chopping block, and which we have no clue on.

We get a lot of questions about why were aren't fans of the mouse so this episode we go over the reason why we have no desire to visit Disney ever again.  Even with two new roller coaster credits, the chances of us stopping bye are slim.

Let us know if you agree with our "issues" or we need to shut up and eat the Dole Whip.

We got a great response from our Top 20 Amusement Park but got comments about them all being large parks so we decided to put together our Top 10 small Amusement Parks.

So no chain parks, no parks that have closed and no Knoebels / Holiday World (they are pretty big now) so let's talk small independent parks and which are our favorites

Sometimes we forget why we go to the parks.  

The podcast, YouTube channel, Tik Tok, Instagram, Facebook, etc..  It  is easy to forget to actually have fun.  

As the season comes to an end, we decided to visit two parks, not to film but to just play the day away.

As summer started to wind down, we still had to get to Kennywood's water park - Sandcastle Water Park so we headed down to film this Pittsburgh staple.  

Well it only took about two hours so why not visit Kennywood itself and get the Let's Eat, Shop, Play and Showtime done also.  Yep, we did it all and believe it or not, when we were done, we fell in love.
