This coaster will honor the Bald Eagle and its home along the Lake Erie Coastline, with 1885 feet in track length & a top speed of 46 mph.

This new family coaster will be a wonderful addition to this park.

My Best Day in a Park!

One of the many things I appreciate most about being in a park, other than getting my coaster rides in, is sharing the experience with people I love.

My dad is one of my biggest supporters in life and my best friend. He is one of the reasons I enjoy adventure and travel. This day in the park proved that.

The last time I rode a coaster with my dad was over 30 years ago. His war injuries kept him off the coasters and rides because he wanted to take care of our family.

With the upcoming surgeries planned for my dad, he wanted to ride again just in case any complications came up. Now he sounds like me. He said he didn't care about the pain because it meant he could do something he enjoyed doing and that brought him joy.

Thanks to Valleyfair and their Memorial Weekend special for Veterans and Active military families to get in free, my dad was excited to go.

We spent the day riding coasters, catching shows, talking and reflecting on all of our adventures. I had not seen my dad smile so much in a long time.

I had to hold back tears the whole day because I was so grateful to experience this with him again. (Not holding back the tears now as I type.) Truly the best day in a park for me so far.

I love you dad! Thank you for such a beautiful memory to cherish.

So many questions about the thought process that goes into actions like this.

I would hate to be the ones behind him getting sauced while trying to enjoy their ride on Millennium Force.

With this life ban, Six Flags is showing us that they are taking actions like these seriously for the safety of their guests.

BANNED | Cedar Point has banned a guest from all Six Flags parks for life after a video shows him eating chicken nuggets while riding the Millennium Force roller coaster: https://www.wkyc.com/article/entertainment/places/cedar-point/cedar-point-man-eats-chicken-nuggets-millennium-force-roller-coaster-allen-ferrell-youtube-video-tony-clark-safety-policy-six-flags/95-7c109bee-3be7-4a43-9eba-51a9a4863c7a?utm_medium=social&utm_source=facebook_WKYC_Channel_3_-_Cleveland

🌞 Rise & Shine It's Coaster Time!

Took the 3.5 hr drive down to give Lost Island Themepark a little love on opening Day!

Excited to see more people active in the park and found some of the new merch for the 2026 season!

Debating now if I should try to beat my record from last year for most rides on Fire Runner in a single day, or see if someone else would like to challenge it.

We will see what this year brings. If you haven't visited yet, you should!

⚡️ First time experiencing a power outage while visiting a park.

Here at Six Flags Over Texas we are experiencing a full park outage, this is not solely a park experience. Several cities are experiencing this around the area.

We are hopeful it will be restored soon.

🙏 The park staff have been wonderful and accommodating during this time. The conversations with staff while we wait for updates have been wonderful.

🌞 Rise & Shine It's Coaster Time!

Starting off the day at Six Flags Over Texas with a quick look at Tormenta.

Although not open for the events of this weekend, they are hard at work getting things ready to open soon.

Trains have arrived, theming elements still being added in, and more to make sure the full experience is ready.

Are you going to be brave enough to ride this Giga Dive Coaster?

I have enjoyed a bit of a break from coasters because I was able to put the time in to care for my dad, as well as working through treatments for myself.

I am thankful for this time, but I am also excited for the upcoming coaster season to officially kick off.

I need my coaster therapy. I am going to still be putting in a lot of time with my dad and keeping up with my treatments, so I may be in the parks a little less this year, but I will be thankful for each day I get to spend in the parks with all of you.

I have a few trips planned with American Coaster Enthusiasts, Melanin Coaster Network & Coaster Queens 🎢👑, and will be at each of our ACE North Central events coming up. If you plan to be at any of those events, let me know so I can catch at least a ride with each of you!
