We headed down the next day to the Carolinas to visit Carowinds for the first time. https://c2.staticflickr.com/2/1807/41259335760_625cf8131d_b.jpg We ended up having a pretty terrible day with crowds, but we got to enjoy the park and pick up some credits. I wasn't able to complete the park, but I d...

It is definitely their reasoning, but Thunderbird has wide trains and I felt like they really pulled off some really fun moments. It just seems like it's their intention to have dive coasters be very slow paced.

^Sorry yes, I found both to be rather uninteresting. Behemoth was stupidly rattly and repetitive, and I didn't really get much out of Leviathan. It was just a few airtime hills and the rest of the ride just sort of meandered. It was fine, but I just feel like a park like that needs a coaster that re...

Canada's Wonderland is in desperate need of a good coaster. It's too bad that they settled for another slow B&M.

If you haven't already, check out my 2017 reports where I visit my favorite theme parks at Universal Orlando. Basically, my situation is that I have lymphoma which was supposed to be gone, but has come back. I am currently undergoing a Bone Marrow transplant where I kill my immune system and receive...

Hey, I know it's been a long time, but I still wanted to wrap up my reports from 2017. Basically, what happened is that I ended up to need more treatment for my cancer, so I lost motivation to work on this. I have actually found some time between treatments this year to visit some parks, so you can ...

This sucks. It was a really good ride, and it was probably the best dark ride in the US outside of Florida and SoCal. I was actually really excited that I might be riding it this year, but I guess that's not happening.

Fun Spot America, Kissimmee My sister and I went to Florida this year to finally go to Universal Orlando. Since we grew up on Harry Potter, it seemed outrageous that we haven't gone. Before that, though, we had landed early the day before, so we went to Fun Spot in Kissimmee to check out the new Gr...

Hey guys I'm back to continue my reports. Maybe I can actually finish it before next season lol. I enjoy writing these, but I have to be in the mood and I haven't been in the mood lately. Anyway, my cousins and my sister from Florida had come up with her kids for my other sisters wedding, so we all ...

I didn't realize this is actually a thing now. Whenever I see somebody talk about this project I laugh and say "That will never happen. They've been trying for years." And now I've been skipping over this topic like it's nothing lol. Awesome to see so many amusement parks popping up near m...

It doesn't have Lakemont Park

Edit: I guess that's because it's SBNO. Didn't realize that. lol

Morey's Piers I chose to take the trip down to Morey's Piers this year because of the refurbishment of that gross Vekoma thing. The one time I went, Surfside Pier (the one with the SLC) was closed because it was the off season. It didn't matter too much to me since there were no important credits o...

Yes El Toro and Kingda Ka are the two where I was forced to remove things from my pockets. And on the Joker the guy at the entrance said that we had to remove our phones and keys, but not our wallets or something like that. It was really strange and I haven't heard anything about that before.

Hey guys! This is my thread for my 2017 Amusement Park ventures. It's a bit of an off year for me with not many new parks, but I did have plenty of visits to parks I've been to and overall had a good summer for roller coasters and theme parks. Before I start though, I want to update you on what's be...

This is a really shocking story! Lake Compounce tried to run 2 trains on Boulder Dash?? Crazy stuff.

I just went to Universal Orlando for the first time this weekend and I actually loved the red side. It was my favorite coaster in the resort. The blue side was straight garbage, though. I'd be excited to see what they can come up with that would actually fit the Harry Potter theme.

Ouch. Harsh on Thunderhead there. I actually thought it was one of the more forceful GCIs, and the pacing was better than any of them. Oh well, at least it's more forceful than the Voyage. Thanks for the read!

You'd think if the animation shows you getting smacked in the face with a support, you would simply switch to the other seat and record. I don't know, maybe less people would notice. Anyway, it looks like fun, but not anything mind blowing. Cool to see GG do an inversion other than a really wide cor...

It's really not at all close enough to Canobie. It doesn't occupy any of the same market. I can only see a handful of people going long distances to visit Seaside or vice-versa.

I think the new layout makes this better than the Vekoma. With the 4 wide trains the slower transitions are going to be exaggerated and much more fun. Plus it fixed all of the problems people were worried about. It doesn't meander, and the capacity is increased. Now it's just a really short ride and...
