125 Roller Coaster Challenge - Trimmed & Stapled Podcast

Yes, we are back after a LONG break and this episode let's you know why.  We also discuss the first five parks that we visited in 2023 which include Kings Dominion, Fun Spot America Orlando, Sea World Orlando, Fun Spot America Kissimmee and one of our top three parks, Busch Gardens Tampa.
Why were we gone? Is Iron Gwazi still our top roller coaster?  Did we ride Pipeline at Sea World Orlando?  Is Fun Spot America Orlando still one of our least favorite parks? and is Mine Blower really in need of the RMC treatment?
So many questions and this episode answers all of them and slightly more (maybe one more, we lost count).  Thanks for sticking with us and we can wait to see you in the queue all summer long

Some will be shocking, some will be strange, and all of them will have you wondering what we were drinking when we came up with this list.  Either way, enjoy this episode and make sure you check out our YouTube channel at @125rollercoaster to see the Top 20 in video form.
Thanks for all the support and we can't wait to see you at 50 amusement parks in 2023.
 

As our journey continues in the 2018 season, we had a few local park visits between our Sesame Place trip and our journey out west but we did pick up a few left over coaster credits along the way.  Dorney Park, Knoebels, Great Adventure and Kentucky Kingdom has a coaster each that we missed in 2017 when we visited but in this episode we give these "Forgotten Four" a little love.
 
Thanks for checking out this episode which gives us a nice little break before we dive into our Simply the Best Episode which discusses out top 50 coasters from 2022.  Remember to follow us on your podcast channel to never miss a new episode and check out our YouTube channel at https://www.youtube.com/@125rollercoaster 
 
Have a great week and we can't wait to see you in the queue in 2023.

Last week we talked about the 26 roller coasters that caused us pain so now it's time to talk about the one's that give us joy.  Sit back and relax while we discuss our top 100 coasters from 100 to 51.  This is the longest podcast episode we have ever done but it will be well worth the listen.
We will be discussing roller coasters fro Hersheypark, Dollywood, Lake Compounce, Cedar Point, Busch Gardens Tampa, Morey's Piers, Seabreeze, Knoebels, Six Flags New England, Kennywood, Kings Island, Six Flags Darien Lake, Busch Gardens Williamsburg, Waldameer, Silver Dollar City, Lakemont Park, Carowinds, Six Flags America, Disney's Magic Kingdom, Casino Pier, Kings Dominion, and even La Ronde.
Each coaster gets a little love as we go through the rankings and let us know in the comments if you agree with the rankings.
Thank you again for all the support these last five years and we can't wait to see you in the queue in 2023.

The new year is upon us so it is time for our roller coaster rankings and like last year, we kick it all off with our "Ouch" list which is the 25 (in this case 26) worst roller coasters we have ridden.  This is a double episode because we breakdown the coaster styles, which parks have these coasters and even discuss the 8 coasters who have left the list either because we got better rides on them, or which is more likely, we found worst coasters to ride.
So sit back, grab a drink, and get ready to throw us a lot of comments because some of this picks will be controversial and we are ready for the debate.
Next week we will start our "Simply the Best" list with our top 100 to 51 coasters so let us know your thoughts and we can't wait to see you in the queue in 2023

Sunny Days
Sweepin' the clouds away
On my way to where the air is sweet.
Come On, you know the lyric, I'm sure you are probably singing them to yourself as you read this.  Yep, we finally got to our actual home Sea World Park (yes, we claim it is Busch Garden's Williamsburg but the miles don't lie), Sesame Place in Langhorne, PA.
This episode takes you back to our journey on our second year of the 125 Roller Coaster Challenge and how we got to ride the new for 2018 roller coasters, Oscar's Wacky Taxi.
We discuss our day at this park along with a full park walk through so if you ever wanted to visit this iconic Philly area park, sit back and enjoy this episode.
Next week is 2023 so you know what that means, we will start discussing our coaster rankings and we kick it off again with our Ouch series.  Yep, we will be discussing the 25 WORST coasters we have ridden and some have left the list while a few staked their claims into the brutal 25.

Hello Hello Hello, Welcome to the 125 Roller Coaster Challenge - Trimmed & Stapled Podcast.
Yes, we have had the honor of saying that for a little over two years and 110 different episodes but lately we have been dropping the ball so in this episode we will be letting you know our plans for all of our social media, YouTube and this podcast in 2023.
How many polls a week will we be doing on Instagram?  Are we still doing giveaways?
Are we seriously doing TikTok now?
What are we doing with the YouTube channel now that the snow is falling and the local parks are closing?
You have questions, this episode will provide the answers, we hope.
If not, send us a comment, DM or if you are old school, write us a letter and mail it out.  We answer everything we can and love to know what you think.

Our 2023 season of visiting 50 amusement park as Paul turns 50 is well underway (oh and riding 125 new roller coasters) so thanks for being part of the journey
 

We are back with the second part of which amusement park we are looking to visit in 2023.  As Paul hits the 50 milestone, his goal is to visit 50 parks in one year and this episode continues where episode 108 ended with the next 25 parks on the target list.
 
Some are local, some are parts of planned trips and even some are crazy day trips but all in all, listen to this episode to see where the 125 Roller Coaster gang will be next year (and will be filming for the YouTube channel).
Did we miss a park you want us to visit?  Are there parks on this list that we shouldn't even waste our time with?  Let us know in the comment section and have an amazing holiday season.
Next Episode : Can You Tell Me How To Get - drops on Tuesday and will be discussing Paul & Devin's trip to Sesame Place outside of Philly.
