Paradox's Summer Trip (3 Parks)

[Paradox]

Hey guys I will be going on my vacation next Saturday and this will be where I post my trip reports for the parks listed below. Any advice would be helpful as I have never been to this area before.

Las Vegas:
Adventuredome
Stratosphere Tower

Los Angeles:
SFMM (1 day with Platinum Flash Pass)
Knott's Berry Farm (1 day most likely with Fast Lane)

That's it for parks on my trip. I might post pictures of other things we visit like the Hoover Dam and other things in LA. We are also going to San Diego so I might stop by Belmont Park if we have time.

Thanks.

Belmont Park - one traditional woodie named Big Dipper! Wish you could try that!

Small update as my trip progresses! I just got in to Vegas yesterday and it is very hot here! Here are my basic reviews of the Adventuredome coasters. A more in-depth report will come later.

El Loco was insane! The first drop took me by surprise and even though it wasn't even beyond vertical it felt like it. There was a nasty jolt into and out of the first dive loop thing. The trick track into the hangtime dive loop was very cool as well. The lapbars definitely made the ride more enjoyable.

Canyon Blaster was actually quite smooth for an Arrow. It was a lot of fun in the end and the trains were nice too.

Which helix do you think is better? Canyon Blaster or Cannibal? They both sound comparable to me.

Who can guess what credit I sneaked in today?

Desperado?

[Paradox]

Yep!

Did you get a nice spine adjustment?

It actually wasn't that bad given that I took some precautions. I sat in the middle of the first car to avoid sitting on a wheel seat and I always lean forwards on arrows as it usually takes away some of the pain. The ejector air was actually pretty good and so was the first drop. The helix in the mountain was pretty forceful as well. I liked the ride and I would do it again. It's sad that in a few years it might not be there anymore though.

^ From your report, Desperado actually looks splendid!

Is your (comfortable) helix ranking like... Cannibal > Desperado > Canyon Blaster?

I never rode Cannibal but just looking at it I know that it is the best lol.

I had an amazing time at SFMM I only skipped Batman because I rode the clone before and Lex Luthor was closed down all day and so was the Superman side of SEFK.

I'm hitting up Knott's on Tuesday! Advice on where to ride, eat, etc.
