• marcus is big on only doing things with you in private. after being with maria and saya and being so far in the eye of the kids at king’s dominion, he’s determined to keep the details of your relationship private.

• he likes it when you lead the way. he’s so used to trying to be a leader and be independent that he enjoys when you’re the more dominant.

My Top 5 (End of 2023)

Hi yall! Sorry for how long it’s been. Thanksgiving left me exhausted, and then all of a sudden I was coming back to college for finals weeks. I almost finished this a week ago, but then I just forget to add the last section. Anyway, as the end of the year approaches and seasonal parks close their doors, I figure this is an appropriate time to share my current top 5 coasters. So far, I’ve visited 3 major theme parks in the US as of recently: Six Flags Great Adventure, Kings Dominion and Busch Gardens Williamsburg. I’ve also visited Disney World and Universal Orlando, but those were back when I was 11 or so, and so I hardly remember any rides I might’ve gone on. So while this will change over the years, and I’ll eventually have enough credits to where I can start listing my top 10, 15 and even 20, here be my current top 5 :>

For context, I base my rankings off of two factors:

1. How much I want to re-ride it right now.

2. How long I’m laughing after I’ve gotten off. If I’m still chuckling by the time I’m back at the entrance, it’s a winner.

5. Kingda Ka, Six Flags Great Adventure

It won’t shock you to know that Kingda Ka was, at one point, the scariest coaster I’ve ever been on. How long did it hold that title? Like 2 hours until I rode it for a second time, after which I knew for a fact my coaster fear was all but buried. Despite that, I’m pretty certain that no matter how often I ride it in the future, sitting on the launch track will still give me butterflies in my stomach.

But god, that launch is unlike anything I’ve ever felt. Hell, for like 2 weeks after my second Great Adventure visit this past summer, I scoured Youtube for a pov/off-ride video that would hit the exact same mark as actually riding Kingda Ka. I never found one that got even close :(. I also never got to ride OG Top Thrill Dragster or any other Intamin hydraulic launch coaster (Storm Runner looks so good…), but god you mean to tell me there’s multiple of these??? Even though I’ve ridden longer rides, as well as ones that I wish I could ride right now even more, that does NOT mean Kingda Ka does not deserve love. All my homies love Kingda Ka.

4. Nitro, Six Flags Great Adventure

Nitro was my first ever B&M (Bolliger and Mabillard) hyper coaster (ride that exceeds 200 feet). And although the only other one I’ve ridden is Apollo’s Chariot, I do NOT understand why thoosies say this thing is mid. Sure the paint scheme is on the uglier side, but that makes it unique. And like, this thing isn’t the ugliest thing in the world. I don’t even know how you could make a coaster ugly.

This thing is floater airtime and speed galore. Next time I’m at Great Adventure, I’m trying out both front and back row to see how it lives up. I always put my hands up on Nitro cuz like, why wouldn’t you? Only part that’s a sharp change is the helix as the trains return to the station. That thing is fast and tight: I grey out every time I go through it. Not saying it’s bad at all, just a wild element lol.

3. Pantheon, Busch Gardens Williamsburg

Pantheon is my first ever ride to feature a vertical spike. And oh my GOD did it have me laughing like a mad lass. This thing is such a treat from start to finish. I have a whole other story to share about this coaster and waiting in queue, but that’s for another time.

What Pantheon does super well is consistency between its elements. From the first launch to missing the top hat to the spike to the hangtime, this thing does NOT quit (until the brake run of course). Some people say this is a mix between Maverick and Velocicoaster, and from the pov’s I’ve watched, I can see where they’re coming from. I’m planning on riding Maverick next summer, and I don’t know when I’ll be able to go to Islands of Adventure. But until then, Pantheon my beloved.

2. Intimidator 305, Kings Dominion

I love you I-305. I love you so damn much. This monstrosity was my first ever giga coaster (ride that exceeds 300 feet), and oh my GOD is it heavenly. I need to make it clear that this thing is not for the faint of heart. It is fast, whippy and unrelenting. But in a loving way :D.

I don’t think I’ll ever be able to not grey out on the right back after the drop. But lemme tell ya, greying out is awesome. I understand why some people dislike it and tend to avoid re-riding anything that does it to em. But me? I love the feeling. If anything I wanna immediately re-ride it if I feel my vision going. I’m weird and gay like that. Some people also say that this is the anti-Millennium Force: while Millennium does airtime galore, I-305 does speed and lateral’s galore. I’ll be the judge of that when I hopefully go to Cedar Point soonish, but for now, Intimidator 305 sits comfortably in my number 2.

1. El Toro, Six Flags Great Adventure

You knew this was coming. El Toro was my first wooden coaster, my first non-family coaster, my first big Intamin, my first blog here and it’s in my pfp \o/. I’m so glad that Six Flags has been genuinely caring for this monstrosity after all these years. Even with the recent incidents, they haven’t given up on it. And I’m so grateful for that, I can’t imagine Great Adventure without this.

There’s still many woodie’s that I need to ride. The Beast at Kings Island and The Voyage at Holiday World are both really high on my list. But as of right now I ain’t going out to Indiana just to ride a big woodie (and also Firebird, that looks sick). To be brutally honest, the only other woodie I’ve actually ridden as of today is The Grizzly at Kings Dominion. And it’s a solid woodie, don’t get me wrong. But it just ain’t the Bull.

Some people dislike El Toro for how rough it’s apparently become over the years. And while that’s understandable, I love a woodie that’s rough. It gives a bite to it, like it’s out of control. That’s what woodies specialize in over steel’s: they’re out of control. From this thing’s ejector airtime, to the speed, to the tight banks to the Rolling Thunder Hill, El Toro will never leave my heart. It’s no wonder I spent 30 bucks on a t-shirt and keychain on my most recent visit. I’m a capitalist slave to the Bull.

Also gonna post some of the photography I've done! As you can see, roller coasters are one of my favorite things to photograph, but I also like things like weather and abandoned industry as well. I'm a huge coaster fan tho, currently ridden 160 different coasters with no plans of slowing down!

Postcards from Snagglepuss

"Ocean City, here we come!"

So here we are, Huckleberry Hound and yours truly, sitting in a somewhat cheesy-looking motel near one of our former hangouts back in the day, Kings Dominion by name, about halfway between Washington, DC and Richmond, Virginia, having driven along US 1 as opposed to I-95 much of the night through Florida, Georgia, the Carolinas and Virginia following quite an interesting diver's holiday with Peter Potamus and the Hair Bear Bunch off the Florida Keys.

Said motel, it turns out, being something of a staging area for many of us fellow Funtastics heading to the Character Convocation planned and timed to coincide with Springfest out Ocean City, Maryland way in a weekend's time.

Think of Springfest, if you will, as a sort of summer prelude on Maryland's Eastern Shore, particularly before the major crowds come over and turn an otherwise docile town of some 7,750 people (that's the year-round populace) into Maryland's third-largest city (as in as much as 163,000 people) on busy weekends. And the contingents of fellow characters bound to arrive ahead of same as a convoy of sorts, prompting Huck and I to find a party room of sorts nearby to explain the logistics of the warmup to Springfest as much as Springfest proper ...as well as a more direct, logically logical even, routing into Ocean City from our staging ground:

I-95 to US 301 (Virginia Exit 104), crossing Fort A. P. Hill and the Potomac River via the Nice-Middleton Bridge into Maryland, picking up US 50 near Bowie;

US 50/301 via the Bay Bridge to the route split in Queenstown;

US 50 to Maryland 404 near Wye Mills, continued into Delaware and joining US 113 near Georgetown;

Continuing on US 113 to the junction with Delaware 20, thence on Delaware 20 and 54 to practically the Maryland line, becoming Maryland 528 and, hence, into Ocean City proper.

Which, at any rate, means plenty of overtime for our trusty cell phones, and plenty of charging time as well, just to remind the whole contingent, Ruff and Reddy onwards to the Skatebirds, Kwicky Koala and even Crazy Claws--the Funtastic sort of crowd, mind you--of developments and the meetings ahead.

"And there's also the crab dinner to think about," Huck admitted.

"Not to mention," added I, "the meet-and-greets. Especially along the Boardwalk and at an outlet mall, even!"

So just be thankful that we're not turning to strong liquors as the way to maintain steady nerves as things press forward. And there's more of this where it all came from....

I’ve consumed a lot of Stephen King and King-adjacent media in my life, I’ve made some King-derived art for The Losers’ Club: A Stephen King Podcast, but regrettably I’ve never read an actual King novel… until now. Tonight, as research for @mothershewrote, I begin The Talisman.

[heartsoulrocknroll]

Great weekend at Kings Dominion with my new best friends, Twisted Timbers and Intimidator 305. Five rides on each, including one night ride on each. These two coasters at night were my most epic coaster experiences yet. Cannot decide whether I like I-305 or Fury more. Right now, I'm a bit inclined to say I-305, which, prior to my KD visit, is something I wouldn't have believed that I would say. Man, what I would give to take TT and I-305 back home to Carowinds with me.

The other coasters I rode, in order of how much I enjoyed them, were Dominator, Racer 75, Anaconda, Tumbili, Reptilian, and Flight of Fear. Didn't have time for Backlot and Apple Zapple, and Grizzly was closed for the season.

[tacomanarrows]

Carowinds and Kings Dominion renaming their Intimidator coasters to Thunder Striker and Project 305 respectively because their licenses to use the Dale Earnhardt Intimidator names expired was something I didn't expect to see today but here we are lmao

Both names are decent I guess but are definitely gonna take some getting used to. Thunder Striker sounds kinda clunky and basic (it's the double -er endings I think), and then Project 305 sounds more like the teaser campaign for a new coaster rather than the name of the completed ride itself. I like Project 305 a bit more tho. Hopefully the parks can keep some of the racing theming, even if they have to genericize it away from Nascar, because those themes made those rides all the more stand-out
