      I already watched the series episode by episode and I really enjoyed it, you did a fantastic job on this. Just leaving some love, and to boost the algorithm.

      Surprised I've been on so many defunct coasters but I'm only in my mid 20's. Respect to Rolling Thunder and Kingda Ka, long live El Toro, Nitro, Medusa, Superman, and Skull Mountain.

      Hey, I have an idea for a series but I don't know if this would be something that interested you or not.

      What about a series called The Future History of xxxxxx? You could write it from the perspective of 100 years from now, looking back at The imaginary history of individual parks from 2025 – 2050 or whenever you decide to cut it off. Seems like it could be a fun fantasy "historical" documentary

      Now who knows what the future holds? Will Great Adventure drop the Six Flags name? And what will replace Kingda Ka? We'll find out on the next exciting episode of Dragonball Z………
