[Other] These are the top 73 parks in the United States, ranked based on the quality of their coaster collections, as voted by, well... you! This is as close to objective as a ranking will ever get for this. Don't worry, I have some nerdy data to help explain myself.
This post needs a little clarification. Anyway, many of you are aware of the brilliant Vote Coasters project over at Coaster Bot. If not, take a look: https://coasterbot.com/votecoasters-fullresults2020 2699 enthusiasts from across the wrold people ranked every roller coaster they've ever ridden, at an average of 43 coaster credits per voter (116256 total credits). Many of you personally participated in this survey. Their algorithm is extremely clever (https://coasterbot.com/votecoasters-how) - "The community is only permitted to rank roller coasters they’ve actually ridden. This way each roller coasters position in the final results will be as truthful and accurate as possible. By making it easy for lots of people to contribute their lists, Vote Coasters is able to accumulate a large sample which represents everyone! Once the community has voted, the numbers are crunched. Our method involves directly comparing the rank of two individual roller coasters across all of the submitted lists. As Vote Coasters makes direct comparisons between individual roller coasters, the poll is not a popularity contest. Even obscure roller coasters that few people have had the chance to ride yet can do well!" I have taken this data and created a point system for coasters that's directly linked to their ranking on Vote Coasters 2020. The #1 ranking, Steel Vengeance, is worth 500 points. [Zadra's second and would be worth 499 points, but it's not in the US] #3, Lightning Rod, gets 498 points. El Toro gets 497 points and so on, all the way down to La Vibora in 499th place, earning only 2 points for its park. Any coaster under the top 500 (such as Corkscrew at Cedar Point) is worth zero points. This weeds out kiddie coasters and terrible coasters from factoring into a park's collection quality. Basically, crappy coasters add zero points to a park's total points, while excellent coasters are worth way more points than mid-tier ones. For coasters with two tracks, such as Gemini or Lightning Racer, I only counted points for the best of the two tracks. My spreadsheet showing the point values for all 256 American coasters in the top 500 is here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/10aaS1f8CptsXEvUSqE2-VUtal-Od9gim-x8rT7xkT8M/edit?usp=sharing I have added all of the points for the coasters in all of the 73 American amusement parks that house at least one global top 500 roller coaster. I ranked the earned point totals for all 73 parks. (That's how I got to a "Top 73!") For those like me who care exclusively about coasters and collecting quality credits and nothing else, I think this is an EXCELLENT way to prioritize future amusement park trips based on the quality of each park's overall coaster collection. Without further ado, here's what you want to see:
69 (93 points): Frontier City (5 coasters, 1 ranked)
70 (37 points): Adventureland New York (2 coasters, 1 ranked)
71 (17 points): Lakemont Park (3 coasters, 1 ranked)
72 (12 points): Conneaut Lake Park (2 coasters, 1 ranked)
73 (8 points): Belmont Park (1 coaster, 1 ranked)
If any coaster YouTube channel wants to use this data to fuel an idea for a new video (sup Airtime Thrills or Coaster Studios or, you know, COASTER BOT!), please feel free! 100% of the credit goes to Coaster Bot for helping me compile this ranking.
Best Cup Races For The Last 10 or So Years...Depending On How This Whole Thing Shakes Out
I'll try this again as I forgot to include the relevant info in the title. For background, I came up with this list last year. After I attended the Atlanta race after a 10-year absence from the sport (a move overseas and increasing the size of my family by 4 caused issues with time), I was curious what I had missed since I had been gone. I asked everybody here what they thought were the best races going back a decade and this list represents their votes. This is just up through 2018 so if you have any suggestions for races from last year, just let me know and I'll include them here. Enjoy!
edit: Hi all. I've updated the list to include the below suggestions. If you have any more, just let me know and I'll include them. And thanks for the suggestions. I'm still going through these little by little.
33/M, turning 34 next month. Only child and no relatives besides parents on this hemisphere. I am stuck at my parents' house after trying to be independent so many times and failing. This post may turn out to be a bunch of disconnected rambling thoughts, but I will try to get as much off my chest as possible. In college, I never felt like I belonged or had real local friends or shared by deepest fears about my family issues. All I did was sit in my room and do math and physics. I knew I don't belong in some way, but at which level? Was it my dorm? college? city? state? the US? the world altogether? After college, when my peers were going on doing great things, I sat for a whole year at my parents' house doing absolutely nothing, feeling depressed. I found no understanding regarding my depression from parents. I did go to grad school and have somewhat of a life, followed by another half-year at the parents' house. I wasn't friends with myself. I only ever opened up my deepest fears about myself and the dysfunctionality of my family to my step-grandfather who lived back in Ukraine. I finally got a full-time well-paying job after being told by my father I'm incapable of working in a mocking rub-it-in-your-face sort of way. I thought I had it made, but I didn't. The patterns of dependence were too deep, and I grew dependent on my mom's cooking and buying me clothes, even though I was making enough to fully provide for myself. In the next episode, I grew so angry and misanthropic that I decided to create an explosive device to experiment, and that costs me dearly. I lost my dream job of making mathematics for casino games, got slapped with a felony charge, to which I had to plead guilty and receive a year of probation, was attacked by the media, couldn't fly for a year, and had to put up with another half year at my parents'. I was a teenager stuck in a 28-y/o's body. I was only beginning to come face to face with the idea that my father had been putting up a fake persona to others including family while preaching hate and spewing venom inside the nuclear family, as well as the fact that my parents' beliefs, lifestyle, and adaptation experience in America, while it may work for them, is detrimental to me. It seemed like I found a new life in Charlotte, NC, away from my parents' NJ home, and started to discover freedoms and joys previously unknown. And yet I was so insecure about my job and so much didn't I cherish what I had that I left it, cutting all my fledgling budding relationships and new friendships. I spent half a year in South Jersey. I started isolating again, researching wars and violence. I got betrayed by someone I had considered a friend (he tried to drag me into something borderline illegal). I lamented the loss of my Charlotte life and yet was very afraid to try to call my former employer and try to get back/mend ties. I was afraid to go to Ukraine at a crucial time for fear (unsubstantiated) that no-one would accept me staying anywhere besides with my grandma. My whole being was paralyzed with fear and mistrust. Then came two years in New York. In a psychotic episode, I threw all my belongings away, many of which I cherished. The move was poorly orchestrated. I lived in a hole for a few months after the luxury apartment life of Charlotte, which I couldn't come to terms with. My far away family had no idea what I was going through. Money wasted on strip clubs and casinos. An inability to wake up in the morning and go to work, and yet I still kept my job. In 2017 came Gainesville, FL. I was living on my own, but something still was preventing me from being happy. I couldn't get over mean offensive things my dad had said a few months prior. I had lost my work ethic by then, often laying in bed for hours in the morning before coming in. I failed to extinguish my debts. After a year, the company tanked, and I broke down. I ran out of money and after a few years of barely any contact, clung to my parents for help so that they would bring me back home and save me from backsliding into alcoholism. After a couple of weeks of gentle treatment, conflict began. My mother is a super controlling helicopter parents who does not hesitate to rip on my for the slightest aberration away from her rules. April 2018 was dark. She has trouble speaking in complete sentences and expressing her thoughts clearly. My car had broken down totally and I had to junk it, limiting my transportation options. In spite of extreme pressure, I still managed to get out to the library and Starbucks from time to time. Then came a few months long manic episode. I convinced my CLT employer to take me back and from Memorial Day of last year till mid-July avoided seeing my parents (be it their vacation or my chess trips or staying with friends' or interviewing with jobs). At that time I did something wrong that they still can't forgive me for that I hadn't done before. I stole and either sold or pawned their jewelry and electronics. I left for Charlotte to work for my former employer with few or no resources (essentially with just the clothes on my back and a couple of overdrawn bank accounts). I couldn't concentrate or focus on anything anymore, and after jumping hotels, motels and Airbnbs for a couple of months grudgingly accepted my mom's cash help, which I was loathe to do as it meant I wasn't independent. As soon as I signed an apartment lease using that money, however, all these imaginary arguments started going on in my head with my parents over personal and geopolitical issues. Things started to collapse very fast. I ended up in jail for a couple of days after breaking into a truck. I ended up for the first time at a mental hospital after drinking myself into oblivion. Long story short, I lost that job and my mother had to come in and cut the damage and drag me out. Things only got from bad to worse as 2019 started. After crashing to my parents' house harder than ever, I continued to do hopeless, unesteemable, self-traumatising things. I'd go to bars and not pay. I'd write bad checks to buy a pack of cigarettes only to get slapped with a fee. I'd drink and gamble away whatever little money I'd get my hands on. I was mentally hospitalized twice more, once voluntarily once not. Now my parents are paying all my bills, including my credit card debt. My mom rations my cigarettes, and I find myself begging her for one over and over. I go to a partial care clinic but find it difficult to relate to people there. She buys my clothes and does my cooking. I have been reduced to a lifeless shell of a person who has convinced himself he'll never be happy. I am studying for an actuarial exam in a desperate effort to switch careers and I managed to secure a half-time low-paying job that I haven't started yet (awaiting a background check). Every interaction with my mom is an interrogation or a ripping of the way I look (stinking/dirty/unshowered) or a nagging. My friends have long since moved on and are miles upon miles ahead. A few still talk to me, though, about the important issues, but they are geographically scattered. I have difficulty getting through to my other family members, as many still fail to grasp the bubble of abuse and isolation I'd been subjected to. Some just don't care. My mother seriously thinks I am capable of murdering her and my father to get the inheritance. I quit on just about every book I started reading in the past few years. By some miracle, I am still able to play chess and concentrate on it. I have been called every word in the book. Emotionally, I am in a house of hell, and physically too. Will I ever be able to break away and experience the kind of at least temporary epiphany and invigoration that I had in my younger years? Will I ever be able to break free and live a stable life without drinking or gambling? Will I find the strength to go no contact and disappear from the radar once I'm out of this house? Have I exhausted all my strength chasing my own tail? I sit here and lament my inaction and failure to capitalize/chase my successes of the past. I tend to have memory lapses and don't even know what music or movies I like anymore. My mother has my driver license and all my credit and debit cards. I seem to have given up. The fateful historical events in my country of origin have come and gone without my ability to participate. Is there any hope for me? Is there still something to live for? Will I ever be able to move past the traumatic memories that have now come to define me? Please, any words of encouragement help.

Or, maybe you recently cut the cord, and now you’re panicking, wondering how you'll watch all of your favorite racing now that you’ve returned the cable box to the cable company? The past few years, I’ve tried to put together as complete a list of on-line and OTA resources as possible, and share it here, at the CordKillers Reddit. I can’t promise that’s it’s 100% complete, but I can tell you I’ve done a lot of research into this subject, and anything/everything I’ve found is here for you to use, and hopefully you’ll find it all somewhat useful. I would suggest that if you’re even half the motorsports fan that I am, that you consider taking some of the money you won’t be sending to your cable company, and spend it going to some races at your local short tracks. Dirt or pavement, it’s likely that not too far away from you, every weekend, there’s exciting racing to watch, live and in person. Countless people work hard to put on that show every week, from the track owner, the track promoters, the safety crews, the racers, and their friends and family that help them every week. Take some time to attend a local short track race near you in 2016. http://www.racingin.com/track/ And, if you’re a small business owner, looking for a way to promote your business, you won’t find a more passionate group of potential customers than motorsports fans. Hey, you already know this, you are a motorsports fan! Consider contacting your local track and inquiring about sponsoring part of their facility. If you’re looking for opportunities to sponsor a driver, consider contacting Melinda Sewell and Melissa Collins at http://www.sponsordriversmm.com. They have a driveteam for every budget. They helped me find a team that was perfect for my business, and they can help you too! http://www.racefansforever.org/sponsoring-drivers-with-sponsor-drivers-motorsports-marketing.html And now, “The List”

Skip right to some pictures This is my entire log for the Murphy to Manteo challenge. On the geocaching.com website I had to break this up since it is way too long. Murphy-to-Manteo Challenge very long log / ride report It's cliche to say, but that won't stop me from saying it. What an amazing adventure. Actually, "amazing", is the only one word I can use to describe my trip. If I had to break down the word "awesome" into other adjectives they would include the folowing pairs: scenic/boring, twisty/straight, mountainous/flat, touristy/humdrum. All of these word pairs demonstrate things everyone will experience while driving across this beautiful state. The only pair of words that I left off the list from my experience are: wet/dry. You may not experience this pair, but I certainly did. When I saw that SmithyP had published this cache I was very excited. I knew I had some vacation days to burn (use or lose). I knew I wanted to put some miles on the motorcycle. I knew I wanted to knock a few pages and counties off my challenge list. Combine those items with my love of touring and I knew I would complete this cache at some point. When was the question. I finally managed to knock some time out of my schedule and get work to approve leave (using my last two days of vacation on the last two days of eligibility). I had a date set, now I just needed to get a few other things in order. The bike needed an oil change and a new rear tire, I needed to figure out which pages and counties I was missing, and I needed to stop looking at the weather and using it as an excuse to not do it. As of Sunday morning all of these items had been complete and I was off on my epic adventure of the year. Sadly, I'll probably only get one this year so I had to make it memorable. Making this memorable wasn't too hard since I had to put the rain gear on before I even left the garage. Oh well, such is the life of a motorcyclist. I left my house in north Charlotte about 11:30 surrounded by Snoop Dogs favorite weather (Drizzle....fo' shizzle) I decided to stop in and put my name on the log knowing that come hell or high water (high water seemed likely) I was going to complete this challenge the next day. I meandered my way to the cache parking and tromped my way through the mud to GZ and opened the log book. Strange....two names on the log sheet and no logs online. Immediately I figured I had been duped. No worries though as this was not about getting the FTF (which would have been nice) - it was about touring. I added my name to the book and contemplated leaving my trade item, but saw that the cache was already full of them so I decided to keep it for myself, took a stupid photo, and set off for Murphy. The trip to Murphy The rain picked up on my short walk back to the bike so I decided to put on the full regalia of rain gear. Like a knight going into battle I suited up, excited to try out the new boot covers, and hit the highway. Here's a little secret about motorcycling in the rain. It's not that bad. Drivers of cars that pass look of either sadness for you or of shock that you are Riding the Storm Out. But once you get over the fact that no matter how good your gear you are going to get wet you can continue relatively unimpeded. The interstate ride to, and through, Asheville was uneventful as it was gray. Mile after mile of rain pelting my mask, soaking my gloves, and pooling in my crotchal area. I approached the turn off where I would decide if I wanted to take a slightly smaller backroad or continue on the highway - I opted for the backroad. Driving over Lake Junaluska, through Maggie Valley, across an entrance to the BRP and down the mountain into Cherokee I smiled thinking how much I usually love these roads, but with the rain they bring on another set of challenges. Still wanting to push the limits of myself and the bike I sped up through the corners and gained confidence in my new tire. After passing through the casino-town in the mountains I found myself back on the highway for my last 60 miles. I stopped for a drink and a chance to stretch my legs before heading into one of the most beautiful stretches of North Carolina highways - The Nantahala gorge. This 25 miles (or so) stretch of road offers something for almost everyone. Scenic views, technical motorcycling challenges, slow moving vehicles, geocaches galore, and on a day nicer than the one I had....ladies in bikinis floating down the river. What more could a person want? Oh yeah....dry road with absolutely no traffic. Something else I would not get on this day. None the less I raced, as much as traffic and my nerves would allow, around corners seeing mountain runoff waterfalls flash out of the corner of my eyes and when the road straightened out I marveled in the rapids of the overflowing river to my side. It truly is something everyone should experience on a motorcycle. About 4:30 PM I pulled into the cheap hotel I booked earlier in the day and settled in. Casually I checked the weather -Rain in Murphy all day. Rain in Manteo all day. One could surmise that every town, burgh, hollow, and 'ville in between had a similar projected fate. I gnawed on my Pizza Hut delivery (not many other choices here when you don't wanna go back out in the rain) and played a game of dry the geaclothes on the hotel heater. Always fun. I fell asleep with a little dread, but still happier than I would be if I had to go to work the next day. Maybe this says something about my job.... Murphy-To-Manteo The day had arrived. I woke before my alarm at about 5:30 and poked my head outside. No rain!. No rain!! Excitedly I packed up most of my stuff and took off towards my Murphy targeted cache - The Lost Fort - an easy virtual with some interesting history. After reading the signs by the light of my phone and taking the obligatory picture I stopped for coffee, went back to grab the rest of my (now dry) gear and checkout. I was on the (dry) road by 6:30, with an E.T.A in Manteo of about 3:30 (yeah right!!), watching the sun burn through the fog of the smoky mountains. What a beautiful sight. Given the rain the previous day, the forecasts I saw the night before, and the fear mongering weather forecasts on the radio in the morning I knew I had to appreciate the beauty while I had it. I turned off the radio and listened to the sound of my engine accelerate and decelerate as my pegs carved long smooth arches in the pavement. Back through the gorge, over the mountain away from Cherokee, and past Lake Junaluska the first hour and a half of my day was awesome. I wished I could ride roads like this all day and not the super-slab that I needed to do to accomplish all of my goals. The ride east through Asheville out of the mountains was amazing. A crisp spring morning with enough hope of staying dry that the smile on my face grew even larger with each sweeper. That isn't to say that there "Wasn't a cloud in the sky" though. There were plenty. Dark clouds straight ahead reminded me how much I should appreciate the current weather and the little voice in the back of my head told me not to worry about the future....just enjoy the present. I did. Miles and time flew by as the curves and altitude of the morning gave way to the straight flat nothingness of NC piedmont interstate. With nothing to do but listen to music and highway for the next few hundred miles I decided to stop for gas (an unplanned cache right there!), a drink, and lean back. With my legs stretched out and my feet keeping rhythm on the highway pegs I soon found myself approaching dark, ominous clouds. I felt my first few drops of rain for the day as I passed through Raleigh. Faced with a tough decision: Put on the gear and ride hot and stuffy, or leave the gear off until I need it and get a little wet; I opt for the latter and push on. With rain drops stinging my face I flip down my facemask, clench my teeth, and race through the drops hoping to get to the clear(er) skies I can see ahead. After about fourty-five minutes of constantly rethinking my decision to gamble and not put on the gear I get rewarded with dry roads, colorless white (at least it wasn't dark) sky, and the first of my needed county caches in about 15 miles. Things really do work out for me. (my motto on life by the way) I hop off the bike and grab what will be the first of 13 caches I needed to clear pages/counties off those challenges. I didn't need all of them as I built some redundancy into my planning, but it was fun to get a few caches in a different area. Looking back, part of me wishes I had taken the time to find some "better" caches to grab (no offense to the hiders) but in reality I had miles to cover and as much as this was a caching trip it was also a motorcycle adventure. Most of the adventure of motorcycling comes from riding the motorcycle. This is my excuse for why I picked some of the easiest, most mundane, closest to the highway cache-and-dashes I could find. As time wore on the land got tilted towards the sea eventually flattening out I found myself surrounded by the ever present swamps of the eastern part of NC. Signs warning of wildlife crossing that are not present anywhere I've lived amused me but also heightened my senses to my surroundings. Thankfully, unlike the previous finders, I only had one encounter with wildlife when a fox of some sort darted across the road a good distance in front of me. After crossing bridges that spanned miles and humped liked a camel in the middle I ended up on Roanoke island with a sign reading "Welcome to Manteo" suspended from a light pole at the side of the rode. I pulled the bike to the side, put on the flashers, and took a picture as proof of my conquest. Even though I had only stopped for a minute I realized that I had become "that guy" and blocked traffic on the major road heading north. After a quick conversation with a local LEO i was on my way to grab my second and third caches on the tiny island. Twelve hours after I left my hotel I had accomplished my goal. Now to find a place to rest my head. After Manteo - Now what I found myself sitting at a hardware store in Manteo checking for hotels. This is something I halfheartedly did prior to leaving and I knew what I was going to have to do. I made the call and set course for Elizabeth City - but first one more cache to clear one more page. That pesky "top-right" page on the one version of the Delormme challenge. Another 75 miles and I'll be done for the day. Not sure if that made me happy or sad though. I grabbed one last fun cache, turned my back to the ocean, and headed inland while inwardly reminiscing on a great day. I stayed dry. Found every cache (and more) that I had planned on. I accomplished the Murphy-to-Manteo challenge. I saw a lot of this beautiful state. I traveled a comfortable 630(ish) miles on the motorcycle - helping to approach my goal of 5k travel bug miles on it this year. I smiled. As the mileage to the hotel get lower I saw the sky fade from white, to orange, to a fiery red before becoming a spectacular purple/black gradient. I arrived at my hotel about 8:00, walked to the 7-11 next door to get my first sustenance since the stale muffin I had at the hotel in the morning and walked back to my room. Sitting outside on the steps smiling I talked to a few friends and tried to (in 140 characters or less) describe what an awesome adventure I just had. Heading Home Not to prolong this read any longer, guessing very few people have made it this far, but the way back to Charlotte from Elizabeth City may have been my favorite day of the trip. It was relaxed, scenic, filled with awesome side roads that meandered through the north eastern NC county side while giving me plenty of photo opportunites. I finally saw a lot of places that I've been putting off for way too long. Like the womans legs in Henderson NC. The Rock garden of America. Old dilipated barns and houses (a personal favorite), and countless tiny roadside cemeteries I'd love to know the history of. Many of these places were stumbled across while others were were deliberately planned using websites like RoadsideAmerica.com and Roadtrippers.com. I'm extremely grateful that I had the time to do this. While the other pair that did this made mention that this is great when done with multiple people, I'd also challenge people to get out and do it solo. When you do a trip like this alone you get a lot of freedom. If you want to turn around and take a picture you can without worry of boring someone else. You can eat what and when you want. (Or in my case not at all. I don't eat when I ride. I just wanna go) You can take that last second turn down a road that looks interesting without people sliding all over the car. You are alone with your own thoughts. Which can be scary at times, but it can also be exhilarating and introspective. You may find you have some great ideas rolling around in your head or that you are an amazing singer at 80 miles an hour on an interstate. No matter what don't put off doing this, or anything else because you want someone to go with you. I once read a great line that I thought of many times on this trip. "Many people will spend 8 or more hours sitting in a cubicle, but when it comes to spending that much time in a car or on a motorcycle they think of it as crazy." Why is that? Get out and live!! Summary:
35 (or so caches - still have to count / log)
12 new counties
6 new pages
1263 road miles
XXX Miles on the Motorcycle TB (yet to be calculated)
