On this episode of Coaster Chronicles, we kick off the new year with a wide-ranging conversation about the amusement park world, touching on where things have been, what we are ready to leave behind in 2025, and what we think 2026 might look like.
We spend time reflecting on the history and closure of Six Flags America, talk through industry trends and guest experience, and share thoughts on Falcons Flight and what it represents in the current coaster landscape. Along the way, we share a listener story from ThrillNerds and keep things loose with plenty of side conversations and tangents.
Swizey is back with us for this episode, and we are also joined by Coaster Redux for a relaxed conversation where we get to know Erik and talk about his coaster journey and content.
Logan is off on vacation this week, but we hold things down and set the tone for the year ahead.
2025 is almost over so in the spirit of the season every Cuzzies host shares their Top 5 moments from the past year.

Maritime Myke and his mirrored sunglasses make a return to the show and CoasterBro talks about his evacuation from Worlds of Fun. Some heavy news on this one, for sure... But Myke balances it out with his heavy detail on how he uses his dairy pills to consume as many Johnny Rocket's milkshakes as possible.
Caleb and Mitch link up again to talk about what's new in their lives and then rank the top 25 wooden coasters.
