Reading the room is difficult for some. This post was pulled just before I screenshotted it. Naturally, the comments section was an absolute trash fire. 🍿

There's been several updates regarding what transpired over the past few days, here's the most recent.

@briantylercohen.bsky.social I've seen your coverage of Republican town halls devolving into chaos. Have you seen this one that occurred a few days ago in Coeur d'Alene, Idaho?

The more I look forward to Universal Fan Fest Nights in Hollywood the more I think about their Star Trek Red Alert attraction and how I can't help but wonder if this is a way of testing the waters to see how viable of a long term attraction that IP can be for Universal Destinations & Experiences.

And yes, im well aware contracts are signed years in advance of projects actually taking place.
14.02.2025 17:40 — 👍 0 🔁 0 💬 0 📌 0I have to wonder just how far along the Kingda Ka replacement actually is, if there's pen to paper on a contract, and if anything has been manufactured for it yet. If a contract hasn't been signed, im willing to bet that Ka replacement isn't happening thanks to the tariffs.

Welcome! Idk if the grass is greener but the sky is certainly bluer over here! I'll join in on this one and continue with the theme.

29.01.2025 05:31 — 👍 9 🔁 0 💬 0 📌 0This is just brutal. I can only begin to imagine what's going through the minds of those affected. I can only hope many of these employees can rebound elsewhere in the Central Florida area.
I'm going to assume more of these layoffs will be taking place at other Merlin properties in the days ahead.
It's stuff like this that makes me real happy to start distancing myself from Twitter. This asshole is an embarrassment to the coaster enthusiast hobby.
28.01.2025 19:23 — 👍 4 🔁 0 💬 1 📌 0BettyJane88/Moonbandit Designs has some fun coaster designs in their TeePublic store. Be sure to give them a look!

One of my absolute favorites of theirs is this Mountain Troll design, paying tribute to the original mascots of Magic Mountain in Valencia, CA.

@jinigo1.bsky.social Great to see jinigo1/Heyday Threads make the jump to Bluesky! Be sure to go check out their store. It's a doozy to get through, but there's something for everyone there.

Joseph also has an Etsy, though it is currently on break. To follow the store for when it becomes active again, check out the link below.

...support him, check out his Ko-fi link below to help him out. Hopefully, he'll start selling pins again.

Joseph also runs, or at least ran Theme Park Collection which was a great run of coaster pins. From my viewpoint, he largely influenced many other parks across the world to start making their own coaster train pins, and in some cases, outright copied his work. If you want to...
