EDIT: I re-edited the Cedar Point episode and the quality is a bit better.

Unfortunately I do not have the Utah episode. I will post that one if and when they show it again.

MASSACHUSETTS:

Bert goes to Six Flags New England and rides Bizarro, ranked the #1 steel coaster in the world 6 times. Next Bert checks out Catapult, which rises 105 feet and sends riders spinning 360 degrees forward and backward at insane speeds. Then he's off to the St. Peter's Fiesta and joins a local competition where he must race across a 45-foot-long greased pole to grab a flag without falling into the harbor below.

NEW HAMPSHIRE:

Bert goes to historic Canobie Lake Park where he rides the classic wooden Yankee Cannonball roller coaster, the antique carousel and other more modern thrill rides. Next he travels to the summit of Mt. Washington, the windiest spot in the Northern Hemisphere. This is also where some extreme power-kiting experts practice their sport. He tries his hand at power-kiting, an extreme sport that involves controlling a large kite as the wind elevates you to astonishing heights at Hussey Field. Finally Bert travels to Mount Sunapee to participate in the annual Slush Cup, a contest where participants try to ski or snowboard across a 90-ft. man-made pond.

Thank you of posting the South Carolina, Carowinds episode. I get the Travel Channel but somehow missed its airing. I was probably too tired from working in the park to stay up to watch it.
Thanks man.
