Hoping to turn it around soon, got my first check up in 4 years in a few days, got a dentist appointment, got Europa planned in less than two months, weather is warming up soon.

Been having a variety of mental and physical health issues in 2025 so far. Messed up back/shoulder to start the year, anxiety attacks, getting sick multiple times, now a random pain in my torso. This year sucks so far. At least I love my partner, work has been great, and I got to ride velocicoaster.

Just a possible timeline:

Apr 30 - Dollywood
May 1 - Lake Winnie opening day + some AF1 rides

$50 Atlanta flight

$86 hotel 2 nights

$95 rental car

$130 park tickets

Under $400 for two new parks in two days, could prob save a buck if I find someone to bring along

Not a bad possible timeline 🤔

I’m prob in the minority but a 300 ft dive coaster would make for one of the best drops in the world. The rest of the ride doesn’t need to do much as long as it isn’t bad.

Everyday that passes I get more and more worried that we’ll be trapped in America

I wonder what stupid policy shit will drop this week right before we all turn our attention to the superb owl 🦉

I mean worst thing would be getting stuck over there..

I’m already mad enough at the us gov and I stg if they do something to fuck up this trip like Americans are banned from entering EU countries or something that’ll just be the shit icing on the cake

I wish Dorney was on blue sky so I could tag it and tell it I love it

Feeling super on top of everything right now.

I sent some emails I needed to send, I made myself dinner, I’m practicing tough music for a gig next month, I got all of my partner’s gifts for v-day and b-day, and I got everything booked for Europa…

EXCEPT one night of accoms which keeps eluding me 😭

Everything that cedar fair’s creative team does feels like a high school class project

I think the next time I go to Europe after this upcoming trip I may do a thing where I just take overnight busses to different places and save money on both transportation and accommodations.

Like I wanna go to Prague and Berlin but also Krakow (energylandia) 🤷

The world is making me sad rn so I impulsively bought a really cheap flight to zurich for my first trip to Europa 🥳🥳🥳

Curious to see which big businesses still go for the rainbow capitalism in June 2025

I think that Trump winning the election has made the people that voted for him feel emboldened. I know Brandon was spilling the kumbaya crap beforehand, but people like him don’t feel like they have to hide their hate anymore. Validating hate is scary, whether people realize they’re doing it or not.

Watching YouTubers that have no personality makes me feel dead inside

Guess you gotta go back for more arie rides 🤷🤷🤷

Oh man there are like 5 parks encircling Atlanta that I wanna go to but it’s too much to do in one trip unless I devote like 5 days.

Wild Adventures
Tropic Falls OWA
Alabama Adventure
Lake Winnie
Dollywood

Probably split into two trips, do Dolly/Winnie on one and the rest on another. Idk 🤷

There’s also the fly to ATL and drive 4 hours each way option, might not be the worst move because I can do it only staying one night which saves money on accommodations

I’ve determined that there are only two reasonable and cheap ways to get to and from Dollywood from Philly:

Drive for 10 hours each way (can tack on a couple hours and hit Camden Park if I’m feeling spicy)

Fly Allegiant from EWR but it’s only a few flights a week which kind of scares me

Why isn’t COTALAND mentioned anywhere on COTA’s website or socials? Weird

It is a small thing in the grand scheme of things but needing to remind someone to pay me for work I’ve already done is def annoying

Sometimes the world just goes:

hey you got nothing at all going on right now, let’s make you both bored out of your mind and mega anxious about that.

Sometimes the world also goes:

hey here are some really cool opportunities/things to do except now you don’t have time to do them.

Thinking about my first ever trip to Universal last week. I go to parks alone a lot and that is probably the best park to go to alone. There’s a ton of energy at the park and it’s contagious. Everyone’s in a great mood and it’s easy to chat with randos in line. I had way more fun than expected.

Follow me if you want the privilege of seeing the best roller coaster opinions and occasional thoughts and things about my life that aren’t coaster-related.

Here’s a Tony’s Express glory ride.

My goal is to keep posting about roller coasters until I see more roller coasters in my feed. Here’s a picture of a roller coaster.

Flying turns 😠 hope you get to do Sandy’s sometime soon I love it

Great Adventure is still a great park sans Ka 🤷

I went to Universal for the first time this past week and have a new fav coaster 🦖

Hey Bluesky this is my cat Noodle, it was her 7th adoptaversary two days ago, she’s the best
