Episode #175: We're Back...For Real

<p>Aloha everyone! We know, it's been a minute; if you want to hear where we've been/what we've been up to - go ahaead and find last week's episode. Because this week, instead of dwelling on the fact that we've been MIA for a couple months, we decided to tjust go ahead and jump on back into the groove. And jump we do - covering an array of news stories swelling around the industry, then diving into our top 15 favorite coasters we rode while in Europe! It's quite a bit this week: from ride closures to substruture replacements. However we trust that your appetite is starved and ready to be whetted! With that, enjoy the episode this week. </p> <p><span style="text-decoration: underline;">SHOW NOTES:</span></p> <ul> <li aria-level="1"><a href= "https://www.cedarpoint.com/rides-experiences/top-thrill-dragster"><strong> Top Thrill Dragster to be "reimagined"</strong></a></li> <li aria-level="1"><a style= "font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'Segoe UI', Roboto, Oxygen, Ubuntu, Cantarell, 'Open Sans', 'Helvetica Neue', sans-serif;" href= "https://twitter.com/BuschGardensVA/status/1567148352768249860"><strong> DarKoaster officially Announced</strong></a></li> <li aria-level="1"><a style= "font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'Segoe UI', Roboto, Oxygen, Ubuntu, Cantarell, 'Open Sans', 'Helvetica Neue', sans-serif;" href= "https://pix11.com/news/local-news/new-jersey/six-flags-el-toro-coaster-getting-repair-to-part-of-sub-structure-after-injuries/"> <strong>El Toro coaster getting repair to part of substructure after injuries</strong></a></li> <li aria-level="1"><a style= "font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'Segoe UI', Roboto, Oxygen, Ubuntu, Cantarell, 'Open Sans', 'Helvetica Neue', sans-serif;" href= "https://www.kwwl.com/news/top-stories/reflecting-on-challenges-lessons-learned-during-opening-season-of-lost-island-theme-park/article_c52bab5c-274b-11ed-8bf3-bbca74e3fd53.html"> <strong>Lost Island Theme Park closes early this season</strong></a></li> <li aria-level="1"><a style= "font-fa
