Jumbo Jet was a Schwarzkopf Jet Star coaster that operated at @cedarpoint from 1972 to 1978. The ride featured the classical Schwarzkopf spiral lift, which saved space for amusement parks looking to pack high thrills into a smaller space.

The roller coaster was located near the lake-side of the amusement park, in the area today located between #Gatekeeper and Windseeker.

La Vibora is an Intamin steel bobsled coaster that has been operating at @SixFlagsOverTX since 1986.

We don't talk about the joys of steel bobsled coasters enough. They are such a wonderful ride experience on an increasingly dying breed.

I have a theory that #rollercoasters perform better when built next to the ocean. Must be all that salt air.

Skyways was a Galaxi S.D.C. model roller coaster that operated at Clarence Pier in Portsmouth, UK from 1980 until 2017. The original plan for Skyways was to disassemble and refurbish it in time to reopen in 2020, but.....that didn't happen.

Debating buying a season pass for my local #AmusementPark this year.

I absolutely love amusement parks, and even though our park is one of the worst parks owned by #CederFair, it DOES have a lot of potential.

We’re getting our first new #coaster since 2009, and I want to show my support for the park so that hopefully Cedar Fair stops ignoring us.

#WorldsOfFun was a top tier park back in the 80’s before CF bought them, I’d like to see us return to the spotlight a bit

1. Steel Vengeance - @cedarpoint

What's not to like about this coaster? The zero g stalls, the speed, the extreme drops, the 2:30 minute ride, the pacing....everything clicks on this ride. It's proof that when RMC is given the land, money, and time to develop a ride, the can exceed beyond anyone's wildest dreams. I've yet to find a better RMC.

9. Candymonium - @hersheypark

If you're a regular listener to our podcast, you know my thoughts on Skyrush at Hersheypark (it's overrated). But Hershey finally found a winner for their flagship coaster with Candymonium. Big drops, lots of air time, and tons of speed make this ride one of the best the park has to offer.

Where does Candymonium rank on your list?

14. Gemini - @cedarpoint

This legendary coaster was ahead of its time in design and appeal, and remains a popular ride at the park despite its 44 years of operation.

I'm a sucker for Arrow coasters and racing coasters, so this will always be a favorite of mine.

Mr. Twister was the iconic wooden roller coaster that operated at #ElitchGardens from 1965 until the park moved in 1994. Designed by the Philadelphia Toboggan Company, Mr. Twister had a max height of 93 feet and a top speed of 50MPH.
