Which coasters do you think will win in the first two episodes? Discuss in the comments section belowl
yesssss finally
I like getting to see coasters and POV that I would not ordinarily be exposed to, and I watch the show for that. However, I do not like the competition aspect of it. They pair coasters against others that are not even remotely similar (wood vs. steel…really?). Additionally, shouldn’t the same people review coasters in competition with each other? And, while I am at it….calling these people, who in many cases are not even old enough to buy a beer, “coaster enthusiasts”? Saying things like, I thought I was gonna die, I thought I was going to be thrown from my seat, I am so scared….etc….Coaster enthusiasts would never say things like that. I wish they would get real enthusiasts (I volunteer), to give real feedback on these coasters.
But I digress……
Hello, I would like to know if Mexico’s Medusa and Superman, el ultimo escape are included in this new season 3. I was there when they shoot the scenes for ICW-WD but it has been a year ago and nothing about it have been released.
Thank you
