The carousel at Six Flags New England is quite pretty and a classic, but sadly is run like the sterile, corporate, anti-fun land that it is. READ MORE

Here is another instance where I am sacrificing compositional perfection for straight up coverage. Not very often ridden or photographed Cannonball Run. However, there's a reason for that. It's not a very exceptional coaster. READ MORE

I normally only select photos that I think are good photos. I don't particularly like coaster sites with 50 million photos of coverage of a park just because. However, despite my not liking this photo particluarly, I'm putting it up here. Why? Because Rampage, pictured here, is one of the best wood coasters of our trip, and it deserves photographs here. Even if the photographs suck.

More Gwazi. Considering I kind of thought of BGTampa as a dump, I find it ironic that this is clearly the park where we took some of my favorite photographs. Maybe we were just in a bad mood that day?

This was a very tricky photo to figure out. Thanks to some confusion involving my iBook and iPhoto, photos for the parks in this region were hopelessly confused. Occasionally, like in this example, I have no clue what the photo is. I posted it on a coaster forum and had a response in 10 minutes that reasoned that it was Wild One in Maryland. I think it's a very solid guess, though it's tricky as the angle of the photo suggests a curved drop, which Wild One apparently does not have. However, looking more closely at the photo, the curved drop appears to be an optical illusion. Fun stuff. READ MORE

Joker's Jinx, like many of the rides and coasters at Six Flags America, was closed on the day of our visit with no explanation. This was a shame, as we rode the same type of ride at Six Flags Fiesta Texas (called Poltergeist there) and loved it. READ MORE
