Roller Casters is a podcast made by two friends who share a love for roller coasters and theme parks. Neither of us claim to be experts, but we do consider ourselves enthusiasts and love to talk about our passion!
Chris attended yesterday's Platinum Member Preview of Busch Gardens Williamsburg's new Intamin multi-launch coaster and has some thoughts and feelings about the park's new addition. Chris and Zack sat down to discuss all things Pantheon and whether or not this highly anticipated ride lives up to the hype.
For our first episode in 2022, Chris is joined by our friend and former DarKastle op, Jarrett! As a self-proclaimed GP, Jarrett breaks down his recent trip to Islands of Adventure and Busch Gardens Tampa, gives us a behind the scenes look from his time as an operator on Curse of DarKastle at BGW, and reveals his GP Top 10 Coasters list. As a bonus, we also discuss the breaking news surrounding BGW's DarKoaster project!
