Pete and Chris jump into your feeds today to bring you five fun facts about our @IAAPAHQ display car from @Dollywood’s Thunderhead!

FUN FACT: the museum board quietly reaches out to their contacts at parks and park chains about potential vehicle preservation all the time.
It’s sensitive, thankless work…but it’s worth it to keep history alive.
There’s been a lot of high-profile coaster retirements recently and we suspect there’s probably more to come.
Because of your support, our all-volunteer team has been able to divert countless ride vehicles from the landfill / smelter.
Board Members Mark and Carol give us a quick hit of history from the shell of the legendary Loch Ness Monster from Busch Gardens Williamsburg!

Please ignore the hundreds of footers we just poured behind the museum in an “L” shape. It’s just routine lawn work 😜 #arieforceone #rollercoaster #museum
On this day in 2005, the world changed for so many on the Gulf Coast.
Today, we honor their memory by highlighting one of the most important exhibits in the collection and never forgetting the story behind it.

We are devastated to learn about the passing today of Dolly Parton.
A friend of the attractions industry, icon in the music world and one of the most philanthropic human beings to ever grace this Earth.
Rest in power, Dolly. The world has lost a star in the truest sense.
Let’s DROP into some amusement park history today with five facts on the Intamin 1st Gen Freefall.
Is it a coaster? The debate still rages online…

Everyone’s coaster count is different.
Everyone’s top ten is different.
We’re all different. Celebrate that.
Turn off your phone and go ride a coaster together. Trust us, it works.
The ride that changed coaster track…forever. Here’s five fun facts about the legendary Matterhorn Bobsleds!

“It’s time to travel at the speed of fright!”
Our Big Bad Wolf just got even cooler thanks to this donated crew uniform from @buschgardensVA! Did you have the honor of donning this dapper-looking uniform?

Yeah we might be guilty of this in the past too, but…
If we could collectively go ahead and stop using “Breaking News” for literally every single coaster news story (big and small), that be great.
Thanks.

WE CAN NOW CONFIRM THAT ARIE FORCE ONE…
…will not be relocated here to the museum. Our lack of terrain (it is PLAINview after all) worked against us.
We now return you to your regular doomscrolling. Carry on…
