New roller coaster testing! Check out this video from Amusement Insider. Hiccup’s Wing Gliders looks like it will be a fun coaster. The more I see of this new park, the more I want to check it out someday.

I’m a big fan of roller coasters, and one of the coasters from my childhood that I still love to this day is the one named Roller Coaster at Lagoon Park in Farmington, Utah. I also enjoy listening to a podcast called Once Upon a Coaster that focuses on old coasters or coasters that are no longer operating. It’s great. If you haven’t checked it out, I encourage you to do so.
They have a podcast coming up that will discuss Roller Coaster at Lagoon Park. I listened to the early access episode on their Buy Me a Coffee page. The episode is good and touches upon a lot of info about the coaster and the park. I’ll have to share the episode when it goes live because it is a good one.
I bring this up because it brought back a bunch of memories. Lagoon is my home park. I’ve lived near it for most of my life. I worked there for many years when I was a teenager into early adult. I ran a fan site called Lagoon Is Fun for many years after until life got to the point where I didn’t really have the time anymore. However, the podcast made me have that itch again for following what is going on at Lagoon. It will probably only last for tonight, but it was a little nostalgic to have it back since I spent many years working, following, and going to the park.
Just wanted to share with everyone. Have a great night!

Super excited. My wife and I moved to a new place in Salt Lake City, and Salt Lake has Google Fiber. I’ve been an Xfinity customer for years, and I always wanted something better. Now I have it, and I couldn’t be happier. Half the cost and five times the speed that I got at the old place.

I just saw this over on Twitter, and I thought to myself that Thundersnow sounds like a pretty good name for a rock band or something. I laughed about it and then decided to look and see if thre was a group called that already. Turns out the answer is yes. I found their YouTube Music page: https://music.youtube.com/channel/UCtchN7rgzFoeIDRXtIRgTDw?si=Lz5JTgAXK00IQA2m
They have a handful of songs on their, and I decided to give some a listen. The music style of the songs I tried out reminded me of the music on the NES game Maniac Mansion. I remember playing that game when I was younger and being obsessed with it.
I will say I think Thundersnow needs to be a little more hard rock with a name like that. Maybe someday, but I thought it was amusing and had to share.
