125 Roller Coaster Challenge - Trimmed & Stapled Podcast
Introducing the 125 Roller Coaster Challenge - Trimmed & Stapled Podcast We know what you are thinking, ”Great another podcast about roller coaster top ten lists and ride debates”. Well yes, sort of... While Trimmed & Stapled will include our thoughts and opinions on the best hyper coasters we have ridden, which Disney parks has the best theming, and which wooden coaster needs to become the next RMC hybrid, we would also like to take a different approach. Each week we will spend about a half hour discussing our journey while we try to ride 125 new credits a season. So along with our lists we want to share our experiences, tell you why we choose to visit a particular park, why we did the coasters in a particular order and our journey from being GP to actually proudly calling ourselves enthusiasts. 125 Roller Coaster Challenge started out as a family adventure and each week we want to share that with you because when it is all said and done, the best memories come from the people who shared the ride. Trimmed & Stapled debuts on December 1st, 2020 and will have a new adventure every Tuesday. Come share the ride with us

Episode 115 - The Forgotten Four
Wednesday Feb 08, 2023
Wednesday Feb 08, 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.

Tuesday Jan 24, 2023
Tuesday Jan 24, 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.

Episode 113 - Ouch 2022
Thursday Jan 12, 2023
Thursday Jan 12, 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

Yes we are a little late with our Q episode this month but hey, we have been working a lot on some projects so better late than never. In this episode we are discussing not only our local holiday events but answering some listener questions and this month they are pretty good.
1. Where do you think Wildcat's Revenge will rank in the Hersheypark coasters and in RMC's overall?
2. Meal Plans - Are they worth it?
3. What else is there to do in the Hershey area?
See, these are pretty good questions and we are answering them along with updating everyone on what is going on with our YouTube channel now that we are starting to run out of daily content.

It's Thanksgiving and we know a lot of our listeners are on the road traveling to get some turkey for the holidays so we decided to throw together a cool ERT episode giving everyone a sneak peek into our 2023 plans.
In June of 2023 Paul is turning 50 so what better way to celebrate the entire year than to visit 50 different amusement parks. Some will be new, some will be local, and some might be a pipe dream but all in all in this episode we will be discussing 25 of the 50 that are on the agenda for the new year.
Check out this episode with a lot of surprises and a lot of fun and give us your thoughts on these 25 and give us some guesses on what the next 25 will include.
