2024: Year In Review | Exploring The Roller Coasters of Texas

Happy New Year! Today, I'd like to look back on my 2024. 2024 was the first real summer that I've had to explore the various roller coasters around my home state of Texas, as I've spent the previous two summers in Thailand with my wife. This allowed me to visit most of the small parks around Texas (there are a few non-coaster amusement parks that I'm missing, but the only park with a currently operating coaster that I need to visit is COTAland) as well as many trips to Six Flags and SeaWorld. I wasn't able to get on too many new coasters, but was able to get caught up on my various reviews and countdowns while just letting myself have fun at parks. For those interested, my goal is to review every roller coaster that I have ridden, so I have reviews for all coasters that I discuss here that I have been -- or they are queued up to come out later in 2025. The last reviews to be released will be Wildcat at Frontier City and Hornet at Wonderland (largely because Hornet is special). 0:00 - 0:22 Intro 0:22 - 2:08 Least Ridden Coaster 2:08 - 2:20 Most Ridden Coaster 2:20 - 3:24 Honorable Mention: Runaway Mine Train 3:24 - 4:07 Honorable Mention: Hornet 4:07 - 4:54 #5) Rolling Thunder 4:54 - 5:23 #4) Cyclone 5:23 - 6:05 #2 (T) Shockwave 6:05 - 6:44 #2 (T) Iron Rattler 6:44 - 8:28 #1) Steel Eel 8:28 - 8:55 New Credits 8:55 - 9:45 Total Credits 9:45 - 10:35 Most Difficult Credit 10:35 - 12:13 Most Enjoyable Credit 12:13 - 13:06 Looking Ahead 13:06 - 13:45 Conclusion Credits: The Atlanta Enthusiast (4K) Hurricane-Race City PCB (Offrides)    • (4K) Hurricane-Race City PCB (Offrides)   KILLERVIRGO COASTERS X-Coaster- Off-Ride POV - Magic Springs - Non-Copyright    • X-Coaster- Off-Ride POV - Magic Springs - ...   Canobie Coaster Silver Dollar City Off-Ride Footage, Branson Theme Park | Non-Copyright    • Silver Dollar City Off-Ride Footage, Brans...   Canobie Coaster Loch Ness Monster Off-Ride Footage, Busch Gardens Williamsburg Arrow Looping Coaster | Non-Copyright    • Loch Ness Monster Off-Ride (2021-2022), Bu...   Canobie Coaster Reptilian Off-Ride Footage, Kings Dominion Mack Bobsled Coaster | Non-Copyright    • Reptilian Off-Ride Footage, Kings Dominion...   Canobie Coaster Batwing Off-Ride Footage, Six Flags America Vekoma Flying Dutchman Roller Coaster | Non-Copyright    • Batwing Off-Ride Footage, Six Flags Americ...
