REVIEW: New Texas Giant at Six Flags Over Texas | How Good is the First RMC Coaster?

In 2011 a new roller coaster manufacturer named Rocky Mountain Construction sprung onto the scene with a never-before-seen concept. The company wanted to take the rough and dated Texas Giant wooden coaster at Six Flags Over Texas and make it steel. Nowadays wood-to-steel conversions have popped up at numerous theme parks, but RMC would start…

Six Flags Over Texas Review: The Original Six Flags Park

When I think Six Flags, I tend to think about amusement parks with a heavy emphasis on thrills and roller coasters. This isn’t a bad thing at all, but as someone who prefers a wholesome “theme park” experience (which includes a variety of rides, delicious food, and an immersive atmosphere), I don’t expect to enjoy…

REVIEW: Kraken – B&M Floorless Coaster at SeaWorld Orlando – October 2019

Kraken opened on June 1, 2000 at SeaWorld Orlando. The B&M floorless coaster was actually SeaWorld Orlando’s first roller coaster. It provides a very lengthy ride, with 4,177 feet of track that makes it the second longest floorless coaster in the world. Kraken is themed to mythical sea creature called (you guessed it) Kraken. This…
