Hey coaster fans! In one week our new episode drops! (Buy Me a Coffee supporters get to listen to an ad-free version of this episode today, though!)

We're off to @SFMagicMountain to look at a failed Intamin prototype that spent almost two decades torturing riders before finally being demolished. It's a fun episode you won't want to miss!

Jackrabbit at @kenny_kangaroo is the park's oldest operating roller coaster, opening in 1920. Designed by John A. Miller, the coaster famously features a rare 70 foot double dip drop as its main ride feature, using the terrain of the park to thrill guests.

The old Jet Flyer station - now renamed to Sea Dragon - at the Columbus Zoo in Powell, OH. The coaster, operating since 1956, is a John C. Allen design that features a height of 35 feet (10.6m) and a ride time of 1:30.

The coaster is seen as a beginner coaster, built before the family coaster crazy really began. These smaller family-oriented wooden roller coasters are hard to find these days.

Whizzer was a Schwarzkopf extended jumbo jet model that operated at California's Great America from 1976 to 1988.

The small coaster featured the infamous electric spiral lift that was a space-saving feature these rides deployed on most of their builds.

While only reaching a height of 70 feet (21m), Whizzer did manage to top out at 42MPH.

Scamper was a wooden wild mouse ride that operated at @cedarpoint from 1962 to 1969. While today's wild mouse rides boast larger cars, these older wild mouse coasters were built to only seat 2 people.

Today the site of Scamper at Cedar Point is home to their Matterhorn ride.

Scamper did have a short life outside of Ohio - she was shipped to @Dollywood after removal where she operated until 1972.

Not a lot of love lost here, but Psyclone was a Dinn Corporation-built wooden roller coaster that operated at @SFMagicMountain from 1991 to 2006. Part of the "record breaking wooden coaster craze" of the 1990s, the coaster pushed riders to the limit, with up to 3.0 in G-forces in parts of the ride.

Her trains were designed by B&M, the only wooden roller coaster to ever receive trains from them.
