  • Wish it was more family friendly

    My kids are very into rollercoasters, and we recently tried listening to the “bottomless cup” episode on a roadtrip. Was disappointed when the hosts started telling a pretty pointless story about “hot blondes” being on some tour many years ago. Seemed like he insecurely really just wanted everyone to know that he had once held hands with a hot blonde. Completely unrelated to rollercoasters, and also not appropriate for my kids.

    Started listening in 2018! Found it one day when my passion of Rollercoaster returned and I knew someone had to have made a podcast about them. Coaster Radio was the first one I clicked on and I have been listening since that day! Got to go Busch gardens Tampa meet up and make a fun memory with my wife. You guys are such a joy to listen on car rides,mowing. Can’t wait for all the future episodes!
