#Throwback Thursday- Wicked Cyclone Media Day

By -
Here's a report on something I attended two years ago! I know what you are thinking, and YES, it really has been two years since Wicked Cyclone opened!
I was lucky enough to attend the event as an ACE Member, and it was spectacular!
The event had everything you could ever want! It was like North End ERT! 
Now on to some photos!
The day started off at the front gate, similar to the start of every Six Flags visit, but this was no typical visit!
Once they opened the gate, we were directed towards the North End! The park had these really cool street performers out and about!
The ride was all decorated with its Blue and Orange balloons! The park even gave out Friendly's Sundae Cups!
Here is the entrance to the ride!

We were all led into the queue, which had been opened up to accommodate all of us! This is where a few presentations/speeches occurred.

You were able to see all the detail that was put into theming this ride!

Here's more examples of the theming seen in the queue!
In this photo, you can see a TV monitor. The park debuted the rides queue video, which was very well done, and even referenced the designers of Wicked Cyclone and the original Riverside Cyclone.
The queue was amazing too. It had these cool looking fans in it, which have since been removed.
I have never seen the ride run as good as it did this day! It flew through every element!
I believe I rode Wicked Cyclone 4 times on Media Day!


Below is a video which has all the footage I shot at the event!


Thanks For Reading!

Universal Studios Florida: Revenge Of The Mummy Production Tour

This is a report about the Production Tour on Revenge Of The Mummy at Universal Studios Florida. This report may contain spoilers for those who have not yet done the tour, but are planning on doing it. Disclaimer: All Backstage photos and videos were taken with permission from my tour guide. Apparently some tour guides do not allow for photos, so be sure to ask the Team Member accompanying on the tour. The Mummy Production Tour takes guests through both the overflow and regular queue, paying attention to the props and explaining everything. The overflow queue is only used during peak times, so it is not usually seen by the public. The theme of the queue is that the riders are extras for the Mummy movie, and there is a huge debate regarding if the "curse" is real or not. The first big room in the overflow queue is the "Blue Room"  The "Blue Room has many blueprints of movie props and photos from the movies on the walls.

The Incredible Hulk Coaster- Review

The Incredible Hulk Coaster is truly... Incredible . This one of a kind B&M Launch Coaster stands 110ft above the lagoon at Universal's Islands of Adventure. The ride originally opened with the park in 1999, but recently just reopened from a total rebuild. In this review, I will be going through different categories and rating the ride on a 1-10 scale.. Theming and Scenery The Hulk is themed to a science experiment led by    General Thaddeus Ross . It explains that the volunteers (riders) will be exposed to Gamma radiation, and become a Hulk. The queue has some detailed physical sets and a really  interesting CGI video. The launch tunnel is also enclosed inside of a Gamma Ray Gun of sorts, which looks really good from the outside. Also, every time a train launches, the roar of Hulk is played through a speaker outside the tunnel. The rides location over the lagoon does look amazing too! Queue/Off Ride Theming: 8/10 The ride vehicles are typical B&M Sitdown t

King's Island Photos

Back in September I was able to take a trip out to Ohio to visit Kings Island. Since I only had a few hours at the park, I focused more on my experience than taking photos.  This park was incredibly nice, and I found it to be a great mix of Knott's Berry Farm, Kings Dominion, and Carowinds! This park is home to some incredible coasters.  Banshee is an incredible inverted coaster that flawless mixes the old, snappy style of B&M coasters, with their new subdued and smooth style rides.  Mystic Timbers , the parks terrain GCI wooden coaster was relentless from start to finish, while still providing a smooth ride experience. The Racer was a fun, classic wooden coaster, who's experience was brought up a level with the side-by-side racing aspect, and was just pure fun! Adventure Express , the parks Arrow Mine Train, was actually a highlight. This ride is just plain fun in all of its quirky glory! Invertigo is the parks Vekoma Inverted Boomerang
