The Debut of the Seasoned Pros List Show
I’ll be joining Doug, creator of The Season Pass Podcast, and Arthur (from About.com’s Theme Park Guide) for a special new sub-series called: The Seasoned Pros List Show. Each show will include a list of our favorites in the theme park world. We kick off the series with special guest, Robb Alvey from Theme Park Review. Having ridden hundreds or roller coasters all over the World, we asked Alvey to keep his picks to North America. In the first show we discuss and debate our top ten steel roller coasters.
