Two-Week Theme Park Trip
Jun 25, 2005If you haven’t checked out the ‘Big Two Week Trip’ online diary yet then you’ve missed tales of the ‘humiliated lobster’, the ‘Icky Yicky Scented Ball’ and high speed police chases. It’s not too late to catch up. We’re not quite halfway through this thing yet. Join us for the rest of the journey. Oh yeah, there’s roller coaster stuff (including photos) in there too.
Kings Island Pictures, Italian Job Video
Jun 15, 2005What’s in the magic hat this time around? How does Kings Island sound? How about the third video added to the site in less than a month? How about pics of their new Italian Job coaster? How about some views of Flight Of Fear from inside the building?
Well that’s exactly what I’m offering up right now. Check out the 44 new Kings Island Pictures including photos of Italian Job Stunt Track and a bunch of shots of Flight Of Fear’s layout (some with the train running the course) from the tour we got early in the morning courtesy of the BeastBuzz event this past Saturday. Some good stuff there.
I also added a video of Italian Job Stunt Track. This brings our collection of videos up to a nice round total of 20. Good stuff there as well.
Up next is the Big Two-Week Trip. I have a little sumpin’ sumpin’ planned for that so check back on Friday to see what’s up. In the meantime you can get a rundown of the parks we’ll be hitting on our Travel Schedule page.
I told you guys that once the 2005 season started that we’d be hitting it hard and not letting up. This is still just the tip of the iceberg. Check back Friday and come along for the ride.
Kennywood Pictures, Screamin’ Swing Video
Jun 3, 2005More goodies! Lots to cover so let’s do this.
Check the Kennywood Gallery for new photos from this past weekend. The park was as crowded as I have personally seen it in years. The weather was beautiful and the people came out. I ended up having a ton of fun and didn’t get nearly as many pics (or any video) that I wanted. Still there’s more than a dozen new photos there.
Since I didn’t get any video at Kennywood, I’ve decided to add a video of S&S’s newest thrill ride - the Screamin’ Swing. There have been a few of these already announced for next year and they’re still relatively sparse. Here’s your chance to see exactly what this ride does in a simple little package. If this sounds good to you then make sure you get your copy of the Screamin’ Swing Video.
I updated the Travel Schedule pages, so if you’re curious as to where we’ll be this is the place to look. This is also your first chance to see what parks will be included in the upcoming two week trip we’re doing. Looks to be 16 or 17 parks assuming we don’t burn ourselves out along the way. I’ll have a whole bunch more on this trip with the next update so check back for that. Should be pretty cool.
Speaking of the next update, we’ll be at Kings Island on the 11th so expect new photos and video from there (specifically their new for 2005 coaster - Italian Job Stunt Track) right around the 14th. Give or take a day or two depending on my motivation.
Until then…
