Universal Studios Hollywood announced Fast & Furious: Supercharged on the studio tour is ending March 10 (if you, uhh, want to ride it specifically...) A new studio tour attraction will be announced soon, and, of course, the new F&F coaster opens next year!

Jalen Hurts doing King Shit at Disney

Does anyone still play RollerCoaster Tycoon? If you want a challenge, try building a roller coaster inside a 11x11 square that can run 2 trains and has an on ride photo. Then send us a photo of your coaster! #rct #rctc #rollercoastertycoon #rollercoastertycoonclassic

What are your theme park and coaster “ins” and “outs” for 2025?

We don’t have the #sources that everyone else has. What we do know: This shirt, and all other shirts in our TeePublic shop are currently on sale at: c101.co/teepublic (And if the rumors are true, please do Vortex next! 😅)

Breaking news: If you ordered a 2025 Coaster101 Calendar, it will be shipped out on Monday! Just a handful of calendars remain, with 100% of the proceeds from sales benefitting Give Kids The World! c101.me/25calendar

We’ve reached the point of the year where my wife, who is not a coaster enthusiast, allows coaster decor in our living room. 🎄😂 (This is not an all-encompassing representation!)

About to board a flight. Let’s have some fun on BlueSky. Hit us with a question about coasters, theme parks, or anything else and @andrewstilwell.bsky.social will answer them.

The average person watching the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade: Oh look, Snoopy! Me, to my relatives: Did you know that Carowinds is getting two new Camp Snoopy rides next year including a family launched roller coaster and the park’s first water ride since 2019?

Theme Park Community Start Park (part 2) has been started. I think I got everybody who was asking to be in part 2. Hopefully we'll eventually be able to start an "official theme park account" starter pack. They need to get over here!!! go.bsky.app/KWLYE8F

Bad news, coaster internet. I saw 8 markers outside of both Fury 325 and Copperhead Strike while at Winterfest.

DHS USF 🤝 A former operational film studio where you can ride a roller coaster while listening to The Muppets

What's great about the Muppets is you could have left it in the theater and no one would care that it's in Monsters Inc Land. The Muppets can go anywhere and it's fine. Sigh.

NEW: Monsters, Inc. land will replace Muppets Courtyard and Muppet*Vision 3D at Disney's Hollywood Studios. To make way for monsters, the Muppets will take over Rock 'n Roller Coaster and "team up with music's biggest starts for a rockin' music festival."

Whether you’re ready to accept it or not, this is PizzeRizzo’s fault.

I am DEVASTATED about the closure of Muppet*Vision 3D, but beyond excited for Rock N Roller Coaster starring the Electric Mayhem. But still… I wish Muppet*Vision could find a new venue so it can live on.

Torn between extremely sad about MuppetVision closing and extremely happy about Electric Mayhem on Rock 'n Rollercoaster...

Brogent Technologies announced a new flying theater coming to Niagara Falls earlier today, but even cooler are all these models of different designs and concepts. The giant "v-Ride Vessel" is being built in China! #IAAPAExpo2024

GO FOR LAUNCH: Kings Dominion shared some photos and video of Rapterra’s first circuit! Spring 2025 will be here before you know it!

Gerstlauer has models of a few of their coaster designs at their booth. I really want an Inverted Infinity Coaster in North America, please.

Day 2, no big coaster train reveals. But look at this VR "Hurricane Coaster" from DOF Robotics! #IAAPAExpo2024

Looking at and playing with some of the new interactive concepts from Alterface. #IAAPAExpo2024

Recap of the new coaster trains we saw today! AlpenFury from Premier and Canada's Wonderland, Rapterra from B&M and KD, and Tecuani Beast from Vekoma and Vidanta World.

This is one of the best looking coaster trains I've ever seen

Vekoma revealed the new launch coaster coming to VidantaWorld's new BON Luxury theme park in Puerto Vallarta. Tecuani Beast is going to set a lot of Latin American coaster records and looks awesome. #vekoma #IAAPAExpo2024

Vekoma is revealing a train for a new coaster coming to the new park VidantaWorld is building in Puerto Vallarta. Looks like it's called Tecuani Beast, multi launch coaster. Press conference later today!

Zamperla reveals details of the new Naruto themed coaster coming to Parc Spirou in Southern France in 2026. Multiple launches, lots of low to the ground stuff, and a dead the spike! #IAAPAExpo2024 #Zamperla #ParcSpirou

AlpenFury train reveal! #IaapaExpo2024 #PremierRides #CanadasWonderland

AlpenFury train reveal coming up! #IAAPAExpo2024

Good morning from the 2024 IAAPA Expo! The opening ceremony is quite the production. #IAAPAexpo2024

Inspired by one of our Twitter followers, hit us with your nerdy albeit slightly ridiculous coaster questions. Examples: Is Demon Drop a credit? Why isn’t Seuss Trolley ride a coaster credit? Are bumper cars considered flat rides? Let’s see them! 👇🏼

The park doesn't seem to advertise it, but Ratatouille has had its single rider line open all day and no one seems to be using it.

Now it's mid afternoon nap time!

A short detour to get the other "new to me" credit at WDW!

Delicious duck bao (super crispy skin!) and mini South African bunny chow at Epcot Food and Wine! Both good! Now to find out if eating right before Guardians is a good idea...

I maintain that this is the best Disney slow moving boat ride. #TresCaballeros #GranFiestaTour

Landed in Orlando for the IAAPA Expo!

The Universal Mega Movie Parade currently concludes ten minutes after sunset, with a roar of the T-Rex and cheer of the audience.
