5 states, 6 parks, 61 coasters, zero regrets. A self-indulgent little trip log from a road-trip mission to ride as many serious coasters as possible across the eastern US. Built with v0 as a quick way to memorialize the parks, signature rides, and stats — Steel Vengeance still lives rent-free in my head.
###The lineup
- Six Flags Great Adventure (Jackson, NJ) — home of the legendary Kingda Ka
- Hersheypark (Hershey, PA) — chocolate town, surprisingly stacked lineup
- Cedar Point (Sandusky, OH) — "America's Roller Coast," the main event
- Kings Island (Mason, OH) — The Beast, world's longest wooden coaster
- Dollywood (Pigeon Forge, TN) — Smoky Mountains plus Lightning Rod energy
- Carowinds (Charlotte, NC/SC) — Fury 325 giga coaster on the state line
###Featured signature rides
- Steel Vengeance · Top Thrill 2 · Kingda Ka · The Beast · Fury 325
Per-park pages with ranked coasters, stats (height / speed / type), fun facts, and POV video links. Built with v0 — the goal was a fast container for the memories, not a masterpiece. The site is the artifact; the trip was the point.
