Coaster 365🎢

It happened 😊

Not me just realizing, that if the brackets were slightly rearranged, in 2026, we were SO close to having a - “Wolverine Wildcat” NCAA Basketball title game This after the “Hoosier Hurricane” NCAA Football title game As a UConn fan I’m not complaining, but still, 🤯🤯🤯

@coasterradio This is my millennial nostalgic Disney ass talking - but The Lion King open is legendary perfection

There is no better opening sequence in a movie than "Raiders of the Lost Ark." Can you think of a better one?

@marcusleshock So would you say that’s a Barracuda…Strike, on your end? 🥁 😅

I caught the BIGGEST FISH of my entire life today - a giant BARRACUDA. How big was it? Unfortunately we didn’t have a tape measure, but others on the boat said it had to be pushing 50”. I’m not sure it was that big, but who am I to argue? 🤣 Can I tell you my fish story? I should start by saying that I’m no expert fisherman. I’ve caught some bass in my life and that’s about as exciting as it’s gotten. On the water today, I had grabbed the rod a few times with no bites whatsoever, as others were catching things left and right. Then suddenly, I felt it. It was like something was daring me to try and hang on. I sat down and planted the rod into my hip and started fighting. Pull the rod up, turn the reel on the way down, and repeat. Some good coaching from the much more seasoned fishermen around me, including my son. There were moments where it felt like I lost the fish. Then suddenly, it was back fighting again. I saw it flop out of the water out in the distance. Whoa. 😳 It felt like there was no way you could turn this reel at all. I’ve never felt anything like it - like how does this rod not break in half? How am I going to get that in the boat?! I know there will be some seasoned fishermen reading this and laughing. You’ve probably caught much bigger and stronger fish. I can now see why you love this sport so much. After a lot of waiting, those few minutes of action were completely exhilarating. That’s today’s fish story. I’m sure it will only get more exaggerated as the years pass. Thank you for listening. 🎣🤣

@sugerloadedgirl How the matchups worked out with the randomizer this year haha

@Coaster365 Sorry BUT NO. BOTH choices I had LOST!? No. Phoenix has NUCLEAR airtime and VOYAGE SANK FURY!? hahahahahaha I'm gonna be making a LOAD of enemies this year. U20, arm the torpedoes, we're out for the hunt...

@Coaster365 VelociCoaster winning is a shock?

Coaster Madness results from today! Velocicoaster (😱) def. Twisted Colossus in a crazy shocker Zadra def. Skyrush as an international coaster finally gets a W! Today Taron faces off with Mako, and Wildcat’s Revenge vs. Boulder Dash

@ChrisPred YESSSSSSS 🙌🙌🙌

@Coaster365 You know Veloci and the King are taking it.

One game that some might say is a mismatch 💀, another that could potentially go any way!! Twisted Colossus vs. Velocicoaster Zadra vs. Skyrush Yesterday’s results - Time Traveler def. Dinoconda and Maverick barely def. Arie Force One!

@clem2754 I love how we’re getting unique matchups doing it randomly to change it up in Year 9 (and we beat Duke in the title game and the Final Four we’d beat them in Round 1 too 😛)

@Coaster365 @coasterstudios Seeding may take care of some of this. Taiga is world class. Voters have no idea. How would you like UConn playing Duke in the first round if the ncaa’s. Just my two cents.

@AtoZThrills2 Drew a horrendous first round opponent 💀

@Coaster365 Pains me to see AF1 out in Round One 😞😞

@coasterstudios And X2 just beat Taiga… so if Time Traveler beat what’s said to be a better version of X2… Time Traveler > Taiga? 🤔

@Coaster365 Dinoconda losing is a crime. You don’t have to have ridden it to know that lol

@Thrills_Orlando @cobob_9909 😬😬😬, I mean hopefully that’s just a winter thing

@cobob_9909 @Coaster365 ArieForce apparently is operating with 12/24 seats on the only available train right now. This is a bad sign

Today’s matchups! Time Traveler vs. Dinoconda Maverick vs. Arie Force One! Yeahhhh that latter one? Would never be a first round matchup with seeding 😅, and can Dinoconda get a win in its first ever tournament? And X2 and Twisted Timbers both got victories yesterday!

@cobob_9909 I usually ask “what you’d think” if you hadn’t ridden yet. Maybe go by expectation of where you’re hoping AF1 falls on your rankings vs Maverick?

@Coaster365 Unfortunate timing on the second one since Maverick is my #5 and I'm riding Arieforce for the first time next week. I genuinely don't know what to do yet!

And as a reminder - voting will be exclusively on Instagram this year. Long time voters have probably seen the issues I’ve had with the poll function here over the years 🙃, and it’s a stressor I just do not have the energy to deal with 😅

Coaster Madness is officially underway!! And the first two matchups are both US vs Europe! - X2 🔥 vs. Taiga 🇫🇮 Twisted Timbers 🍎 vs. Schwur des Kärnan 👻 Which two move on?? Replies/discussion here COULD sway a vote!!

@SRsounds Son of Man!

What's the most underrated Disney song that deserves way more love? Drop your hidden gems below - we might just feature it in an upcoming show!

@ChrisPred Appreciate you Chris!! ❤️

@Coaster365 I get your decision but I just miss you and miss seeing your content here. Loved the podcast episode with choosing the brackets and will watch for the matchups and results.

Coaster Madness 2026 is here!! With a HUGE change - a bracket made completely randomly via a random wheel 😅 - no real seeding, just pure chaos!! Now, there is also another significant change, and it regards voting, especially here on Twitter ⬇️⬇️⬇️

@A_Coaster_Story I know a lot of people that fill out two brackets with that exact mentality!

@Coaster365 There's 2 exercises here: 1) what someone thinks is better and 1) what someone thinks other voters will think is better. I kind of feel like it might be fun to do a few additional bracket shuffles just to force some different matchups to play around with thinking thru #1 more.

@stephenboshearz It actually didn’t, don’t think it ever made it past the 2nd round. I also decided to split the coasters evenly 32 US, 32 outside the US, which did mean some solid US coasters missing out this year 😞

@Coaster365 Where is Thunderhead? Its always places well in these.
