Mike holds down the studio solo this week while EB spends a spontaneous day at Six Flags Great America — but the real story is one nobody saw coming: Six Flags has officially purchased ArieForce One, the beloved RMC that was headed for demolition just weeks after Fun Spot Atlanta announced its closure. Mike breaks down why this genuinely surprised him (the budgeting alone for a chain like Six Flags should have made this financially implausible), walks through everything that has to happen before this ride finds a new home — disassembly, cataloging, transport, an entirely new station to fix its known capacity issues — and floats his own guesses for which park might land it when Six Flags reveals the destination later this year. Meanwhile, EB reports live from the midway all day: riding the new Wrath of Rakshasa dive coaster, revisiting old favorites five years after his first trip to the park, and later checking out the Dark Knight coaster. A listener trip report from opening day of Night Flight Expedition at Dollywood reveals a rocky first outing — a four-hour wait, a failed test, and a mad dash back into line — but genuine excitement for what the ride will become once it's fully worked in. Then Mike covers Six Flags Magic Mountain's announcement of an entirely new roller coaster category: the Thrill Glider, a prone, face-forward "hover cycle" experience blending flying coaster tech with a full sci-fi storyline. Plus, a look at Alton Towers' elaborate new Halloween dinner theater experience, Dine With the Dead, and EB caps off his day with a nightcap at a favorite Chicago tiki bar.

Send us Fan MailSome topics start as small talk and somehow turn into a full map of modern life, and “rides” does exactly that for us. We start with a real-life milestone that hits surprisingly hard: senior night at a high school football game, the photos, the pride, and that quiet feeling that time is moving faster than you want it to. Then we do what we do best, follow the conversation where it leads, including a truly wild headline about a donkey jumping into a moving van and the very relatable question of “what would I do if that happened to me?”Food is the next on-ramp. We taste-test Apple Pie a la Mode Oreos, debate whether they're delicious or just “candle vibes,” and then get into “Oreo Gate,” the viral mom-group-chat controversy about banning Oreos from lunchboxes. Real or fake, it raises the same questions lots of parents face: how much should one family's rules shape everyone else's choices, why group chat drama escalates so fast, and when being a silent lurker is the healthiest option. We also touch on ParentSquare, school communication overload, and a viral Kool-Aid pineapple hack that sounds like Sour Patch Kids made by a chemistry lab.Then we hit the main theme: theme park rides, amusement park rides, carnival rides, roller coasters, and the very personal line between fun and fear. We compare Disney, Disneyland, Universal Studios, Legoland, Six Flags Great America, and Cedar Point, from drop-ride terror to wooden coaster love, plus the surprisingly emotional power of sharing a ride as a family. We round it out with modern “rides” too: Uber, Waymo, and how normal it feels to climb into a stranger's car in 2026.If you like honest parenting talk, funny nostalgia, and practical life hacks with a side of roller coaster debate, hit subscribe, share this with a friend who hates drop rides, and leave a review so more people can find us.Mike Haggerty Buick GMCRight on the corner, right on the price!

Halloween Horror Nights 2026: The Architecture of Fear | Thursday Thrills

Universal Orlando holds the first of its two 2026 Premium Scream Nights on August 27, followed by the regular Halloween Horror Nights event opening on August 28 - and this week's Thursday Thrills goes inside the architecture of fear. Rather than rank haunted houses before they open, Henrique Couto asks what a walk-through attraction can do to our bodies and imaginations that a horror movie cannot.The answer begins inside a real haunted-house experiment, where visitors wore heart-rate monitors while researchers studied the strange overlap between fear and enjoyment. Their findings showed a group-level inverted-U association across three recorded scare points: moderate fear ratings tended to accompany greater enjoyment than very low or very high ratings. Other studies examined links among unexpected attacks, complete darkness, and social context; they did not establish that these factors always increase subjective fear or enjoyment.Then we enter the announced 2026 haunt season. Universal Orlando's thirty-fifth-anniversary lineup comprises ten houses spanning Stranger Things 5, Sinners, Hellraiser, Ozzy Osbourne: Prince of Darkness, Evil Dead Burn, and five original concepts. Universal Studios Hollywood has announced a Terror Tram starring Art the Clown, KILLceañera: Music by SLASH, and its first Unmasking the Horror Tour Add-On. Knott's Scary Farm brings two new park-created stories to a ten-maze lineup, while Six Flags Great America plans to send guests through the near-total darkness of Blair Witch: No Signal.Henrique examines the filmmaker's tools hiding inside every maze: forced attention, negative space, sound cues, misdirection, familiar images, live performers, and the unpredictable pace of a moving crowd. It is a spooky-season tour for fans of Halloween podcasts, haunted attractions, horror filmmaking, theme parks, scary stories, and the wonderfully strange reason we pay to be frightened.The episode also asks whether the scariest design is the monster audiences already recognize or the unmarked door hiding a story they have never encountered. The answer lives somewhere between expectation and surprise - and changes with every group that enters.All 2026 attraction details discussed were announced as of August 25 and remain subject to change.

Six Flags Great America is getting a brand-new family area called Camp Timber Trail, anchored by a Vekoma family suspended coaster that's essentially a clone of Phoenix at Deno's Wonderwheel Park. The area has nine attractions total, mixing new builds with clever re-themes of park classics. Mike and EB break down why these smaller, heavily-themed family coasters might matter more for a park's long-term health than another record-breaking mega-coaster. Then it's time for Quick Hits: Cedar Point's season-long Fast Lane add-on is going for a jaw-dropping $1,999 after the park closed last year's loophole of buying a cheaper Fast Lane at a different Six Flags park. Mike and EB do the actual math on how many visits it takes before that price tag makes any sense at all. Kings Dominion is running its classic dark ride Flight of Fear with the lights on every night in August, giving longtime fans a reason to ride a coaster they've been on a hundred times before. And in the biggest tease of the week, newly surfaced test footage...along with a mysterious social media post.... all but confirms that RMC's long-rumored Wild Moose coaster — a compact, maneuver-packed ride built entirely around those beloved pre-lift RMC moments — is headed to Kentucky Kingdom. Mike also circles back to Busch Gardens Williamsburg's still-mysterious Corkscrew Hill rebuild, wondering out loud what it could mean for the park's aging motion simulator theater. Coaster Radio also has a genuinely stacked week ahead: an early, embargoed interview with Hershend's creative director about Dollywood's NightFlight Expedition, a Silver Dollar City interview tied to their upcoming 2027 announcement, and Neil Patrick Harris himself joining the show to talk D23, Hong Kong Disneyland, and his connection to the Muppets' Rock 'n' Roller Coaster. The back half is this week's interactive topic, and it's a good one: listeners were asked what ride needs to leave their home park to make room for something better. Kings Island's outdated log flume, Six Flags Over Georgia's Blue Hawk, Lagoon's Double Thunder Raceway, Six Flags Great America's Superman, Cedar Point's Kiddy Kingdom, Hershey Park's train and monorail, Knott's Berry Farm's Accelerator, and Six Flags Magic Mountain's Scream, among many more.

Six Flags' new leadership is successfully reorienting the company toward repeat visitation, yet this quarter its debt cost more than its parks earned.The strategy of getting more passholders to attend more often and spend more, thereby increasing lifetime spend, is working. Revenue and attendance were up, adjusted for the divested parks, and the upcoming Halloween season, with 448 Halloween-themed experiences from coast to coast, should supercharge that strategy. Yet, while the parks made money, the company still posted a loss due to its debt.Running the parks produced $88.6 million of operating income, up from $74.5 million a year ago. Interest on the company's debt cost $102 million, and the quarter landed at a $20.1 million loss before taxes. The $203 million headline loss is mostly a $157.4 million tax charge, an accounting catch-up tied to the park sales, not a bill: Six Flags paid $4.5 million in cash taxes in the entire first half. Same-park revenue, attendance, and EBITDA all grew, pass sales are up 7%, and the stock still fell 16%.Meanwhile, Six Flags Great America announced Camp Timber Trail, a nine-attraction family land opening in 2027, led by Sky Hawk, a suspended family coaster billed as the Midwest's longest, tallest, and fastest, another build aimed at the family-together demographic that keeps spending.Listen to weekly BONUS episodes on our Patreon.

Every coaster enthusiast has one. A specific ride. A specific day. The moment that turned a casual park visitor into someone who plans vacations around roller coasters, studies manufacturer lineups, and listens to theme park podcasts at 11pm on a Tuesday. This week Mike and EB asked the Coaster Radio community to share theirs — and the response was overwhelming. From Steel Phantom at Kennywood to Dueling Dragons at Islands of Adventure. From Big Thunder Mountain at Disneyland at age six to Viper at Six Flags Magic Mountain in 1991. From watching Top Thrill Dragster launch for hours as a child to being forced onto a coaster by an older sibling and never looking back. From Dick Knoebel of Knoebels personally replying to a young fan's handwritten letters to a nine-year-old standing under a flickering chandelier at the Haunted Mansion and thinking "this is what I want to do with my life." Dozens of stories. Dozens of different rides. One common thread — the moment everything changed. But first — Cedar Point tried to cancel Coastermania and replace it with Morning Rush. The Coaster Maniacs responded. Tony Clark listened. And the Hulkster had some thoughts. Brothers, Coastermania is incoming. Also this week — Epic Universe opens Celestial Park to convention goers for the first time ever, giving the world its first look at how the portal system actually works. A bomb threat at Six Flags Magic Mountain delays opening until 12:30pm and nobody can explain why it was called in at 7:45 in the morning. The Family Kingdom Raptor coaster gets pushed to 2027 due to permitting issues. Busch Gardens Tampa files permits for a possible $16.5 million water ride to replace Stanley Falls. And Holiday World launches the most elaborate teaser campaign in park history for the mysterious Town of Boulder Canyon. Plus — a live trip report from Six Flags Great America on opening day, and the show teases something new coming to Coaster Radio very soon.
