Remember the first roller coaster you ever went on? We sure do, and we’re taking you on a memory trip back to Alton Towers, comparing our recent experience to the one we had 14 years ago. Hannah leads the roller coaster talk with infectious enthusiasm, while Davie is more than happy to let her take the spotlight. Besides the adrenaline-pumping rides, you’ll hear about our latest life updates, our plans for EmoFest in November, and a heartfelt shoutout to our five loyal commenters.
Ever wondered how many types of roller coasters exist and what makes each one unique? We break it all down for you, from hydraulic and LSM launches to dive coasters and wooden classics. We even clear up common misconceptions about hypercoasters and gigacoasters. Not to mention, we share a few laughs over the quirkiest coaster restraints we’ve encountered and the thrills (and chills) they bring. This episode is your ultimate guide to understanding the wild world of thrill rides.
Our final coaster chapter is all about facing fears and favorites. We swap stories of our scariest rides, from the record-breaking inversions of the Smiler to the sheer terror of vertical lift hills. The episode wraps up with a deep dive into our favorite types of launch coasters and the psychological impact of certain ride elements. So, buckle up and enjoy this thrilling ride through our roller coaster memories and expertise!
