Hi guys! Vince here!!! You may know me as Coasterkid14. I've created a new account for a new chapter of my life.
I moved to Wyoming in early 2015 and started a series I call Vlogging Wyoming (though not all videos necessarily take place in Wyoming). It was made to keep my family on the East Coast in the loop of how I'm doing as well as show off some of the cool places this part of the country has to offer. And it's made available to you too if you find the content enjoyable.
Apart from exploring the wonders of Wyoming, I am also a huge roller coaster enthusiast. You'd think being a coaster enthusiast in Wyoming would be torture for me (Wyoming has a whopping total of 1 roller coaster), but living here has actually driven me to travel the world to ride the best of the best more than any other place I've lived. I have always wanted to make a series of my theme park travels, and that finally started in 2018 with So Many Parks, So Little Time.
I remember when they had the toboggan coasters at the local fair. I'm old. Lol! Never been on a Tilt-a-Werl with restaurants. But that one looked bad and no coshens.
@@casketdriver1 The Toboggans are hellish creations, but they make me laugh with how ridiculous they are. Would’ve loved to get some footage of the Mexican one. The Tilt-a-Whirl was wild, but yeah, the lack of cushions made the abrupt forces clang your head on the hard metal.
@@nathancorcoran5347 I’m sure it’s a fantastic ride around the lake without all the Christmas lights out too. But man, that train ride with all the lights on was one of my favorite train rides at an amusement park anywhere.
Very cool! Since (in the video) you answered the question about riding the Toboggan at Little Amerika, I have a difficult time believing you were looking forward to another one!! The mountain coaster looked pretty cool! Though it seemed a bit odd that there were separate load/unload stations. Tough day, but such is the life of a coaster enthusiast. Your smile shows that, regardless, you had a great time!! (Nice touch adding El Paso by Marty Robbins at the end! Music I grew up on, from my parents.)
@@jjmailman I’m one of those weirdos who wants to try some of the worst rides to see just how bad they were (sad that I missed SoB). The Toboggan coasters are trash, but they’re so weird that I can’t help but admire them a little lol. I’ve seen a few mountain coasters with a separate unload station. The Wiegand at Jiminy Peak in Massachusetts has one, it even has that silly helix between stations to send empty cars down in. I’ve definitely had plenty of bummers happen, but there’s usually ways to salvage the day. It’s a lot more fun letting than good times outweigh the bad!
@@marcocampos2332 I actually did the mountain coaster the following morning. But still, it’s fun to say I went to 3 parks in two different countries in less than 24 hours!
What day or days does this take place? I would like to watch it in person. I’ve been trying to find it in the internet but a lot of it is like 2 to 10 years old
I haven't attended a sled dog race since filming this one. But doing a quick search online, it looks like the founder of the organization that put on these races died a few years ago, and then the annual event kind of fizzled out in the wake of covid. It's a shame, it was a really fun event that made great use of the mountain's natural beauty in winter.
It's very underappreciated. It was a little tame in the morning, but by the time it warmed up it was absolutely flying! So glad to have this park on the same Interstate as me lol.
That's impressive that you got all 3 track endings with 4 rides. I think it took my 17 or 18 rides before I got the forward slide. Glad to see your vlogs back!
Thanks Jason, happy to be back 😀! I had actually gotten all 3 track endings on my first three rides. I was aghast, but super grateful that it turned out the way it did. I know others who have ridden multiple times and have gotten the exact same endings. The multiple endings are a really cool feature, but can certainly be frustrating trying to get them all given how long the line can get.
I get emotional watching this theme park growing up here spending time with my sister and mom. Its a fantastic place for kids and adults can have some fun as well. A lot of it used to take after the flintstones.
It's a lovely little park, I was blown away by how nice it was. Definitely a great park for families, and I like how you can still see relics of a lot of the Flintstones themeing.
So happy you got to see a four of the endings, I love Cannibal! It is such a nice park, we always have so much fun when we visit. Great video, Vince! 😎
Never been graced with that expression before, so I'm going to take it as the highest form of flattery lol. Thanks a lot, Sean! So excited to put our trip together!
Lifelong Louisiana resident. We are in Mississippi every other day and I have never heard of either one of these places. Now, talking about Louisiana, looking down your list, I don't see that you have made it here. We have Blue Bayou Water Park and Dixie Landing, which is an amusement park. You should come check it out. Blue Bayou is known for having the largest water rides.
Paradise Pier just opened last year, and Big Play just started adding coasters 2 years ago, so I'm sure it's taking some time for word to get around. I did visit Carousel Gardens in New Orleans the day after I went to Biloxi to ride their family coaster and classic carousel, I enjoyed my time there despite getting rained out. Unfortunately, the Dixie Landin' portion of Blue Bayou & Dixie Landin' was closed all of last summer. It did reopen this summer, so I look forward to giving the whole park a try the next time I'm in Louisiana!
Just rewatched the trailer. Not gonna timestamp it so as not to spoil the surprise, but I love the ominous “blink-and-you-miss-it” spinner cameo. Much looking forward to Season 7!
So thrilled to have had you in our area! WONDERFUL video, please come back and visit us again... and let us take you to all the best RESTAURANTS! Best food in the world right here.
Nice book!! 😂 Fascinating from beginning to end!! The architecture is simply captivating!! I noticed that every major pan of the city, you included Tibidabo (I know, How can you miss it?). That park (Gel?) was as interesting as the cathedral! Well done Vince!! You have a great sense of awareness of your surroundings!! (Excellent choices for the music - though the first half of the video, the levels seemed a bit louder than your voice, or the second half of the video)
Thanks a lot, Jeff! Yeah, Gaudí really went all out when designing Sagrada Familia and Parc Güell, both are unlike anything I've ever seen anywhere. Haha, definitely hard for the coaster enthusiast in me to ignore Tibidabo, but it really is such an eye-catching place. Sorry about the audio. I tried to balance the levels as best I could, the iPhone I recorded this video on does not have the best microphone.
Thanks a lot, Sean! It was an incredible couple of days, I love how many sights and activities we were able to pack into a relatively short period of time. BTW, the building that Gojira performed on is at 4:30 in the background to the right.
100%! Although at the time this was recorded, I was days away from popping the question. But it was no less of a joy getting to explore the city and theme parks with her.
@@kennethgreggs5903 I had considered the Eiffel Tower, but figured that would be too cliché. It ended up being the right choice because it was very crowded at the top of the tower.
Lol, while I'd love a park like that within driving distance of me, I think a full-fledge theme park would feel out of the place with the natural beauty of that part of the country. I think a smaller regional park near Missoula would be pretty sweet though.
The park has The Loop roller coaster up for sale. $600k and it’s yours. Ridership must not be worth the cost of operation and upkeep. A good roller coaster would be killer there but I wouldn’t hold my breath
Part of the reason we stopped into CJ's was because we had heard reports that the Loop Coaster would be closed and removed before the end of the 2023 season. But it's clearly still there, so it was either bad intel or someone backed out of a deal. Still interesting to hear that a coaster like that, which I'm sure a lot of smaller FECs would've loved to have in their lineup, is up for grabs.
it really feels like its gonna fall apart i went on it the first couple weeks they added it, I swear to god it was shaking not even connected to the ground
