Ready to take a spin on this month’s “Rode It! Loved It!” (my reviews of established attractions that are exclusively for paid subscribers)? I am shining the ATP spotlight on the Joker rides at Six Flags parks and other 4D Free Spin coasters. Not a paid subscriber? In the spirit of the gift-giving season, consider throwing some coin my way with a subscription. There are no ads of any kind here at About Theme Parks, and paid subscriptions are my only source of income here. You’ll also be giving yourself a gift, because you will receive exclusive bonus content such as my “Rode It! Loved It!” reviews. Thanks for your consideration and happy holidays.
