Six Flags New England- Holiday in the Park

By -
On December 2nd, I visited Six Flags New England's Holiday in the Park Media Day! 
Let me just start by saying that this was an amazing event put on the park, complete with our own showing of Frost, goodies to take home, and a great spread of snacks!

Frost
Frost is a show located inside the Rockville Theater. It's a show similar to Cirque Du Soleil, as it has many different aerial and acrobatic feats! 


This show was excellent! I was very impressed by it, as many amusement park shows can be mediocre. The dancers and entertainers of this show were all extremely talented and made the show very enjoyable!

Rides
Holiday in the Park has a large amount of roller coasters and rides open for the event!
The Joker 4D Free Fly Coaster is one of the great attractions open for Holiday in the Park. It's a fun coaster and I am glad that it's open!
Batman The Dark Knight is also open, and it is running INSANE! It is absolutely flying through the course. I believe that the ride is running with a different kind of wheel, but I'm not sure. This B&M Floorless Coaster is running in Top Shape!
Buzzsaw is open for its final few weeks before it is removed for the 2018 season.
Crime Wave is perfect if the whole family wants to ride together, or if a smaller thrill seeker is waiting for those riding Batman or The Joker.

Tomahawk is another thrilling attraction open for Holiday in the Park!
Flashback, while not on the Holiday in the Park rides list, was open! Another coaster open is a great thing! Maybe next year there will be even more!
For those who need to heat up, Houdini is open and heated!
All of Kidzopolis is open too!

In addition to the rides above, the park also has Thunderbolt, Fireball, Scrambler, Balloon Race, Rock N Rodeo, Looney Toons Movie Town, Kontiki, New England Express, Carousel,  and Mind Eraser, open. 

South End / The Riddler?
With Harley Quinn Spinsanity coming to the park next season, there's been rumors of the South End being rethemed to Gotham City. Well, those rumors gained a lot more traction with posters like this around the park. For those not familiar with The Riddler, those question marks are pretty much his logo.
Not only this, but there are announcements around the park telling you that someone else is joining Harley Quinn, and that we won't get hits as to who it is until 2018.
The park map shows The Riddlers question marks all over Mind Eraser, pointing towards a retheme!
And the rides entrance is decked out with GREEN lights! This is The Riddlers color!
I'm pretty confident that we will be seeing a pretty big change with Mind Eraser and the South End next season!

The Lights
The park is completely lit up with over One Million lights! It is quite a sight to see! Check out some of the great displays! 









It is so beautiful all throughout the park! They did an amazing job! The lights on Main Street are also programmed and synched with a light show that happens every so often. Its extraordinary, and amazing to watch!

Harley Quinn Spinsanity
Check out the construction site for Harley Quinn Spinsanity. The Tea Cups and Slingshot are out, and ground work is underway for the new attraction!







Thanks For Reading!
Thank you guys so much for reading! Holiday in the park is an amazing event, and I 100% recommend visiting if you have the chance! It was a ton of fun, and there is something for everyone to experience, whether it be the amazing lights or the thrilling coasters. Specialty food options and entertainment make the experience of Six Flags New England different from anything you've ever seen at the park before! So get out and head to Six Flags for Holiday in the Park!

One More Thing...
I was lucky enough to meet Jim Reid-Anderson, Chairman and CEO of Six Flags. He was extremely nice, and I really appreciate hime giving me a few minutes of his time to talk and take a photo! Meeting him made a great night at the park even better!

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
