New at Canobie Lake Park

By -
Canobie Lake Park, located along the coast of Canobie Lake in Salem, New Hampshire, 
will being adding on to their water play structure for this upcoming season. The water park expansion will include an adventure river, 3 new slides, a wave pool, a restaurant, a bar, and a 
drink stand. It is named Tidal River, showcasing their large adventure river.
As of lately, the park hasn’t really added anything. Their most recent additions include a 
cloned Gerstlauer Eurofighter named Untamed in 2011, a short lived KMG Tango named
Equinox that operated from 2012 and was removed in 2014, and their new Matterhorn 
named Ice Jet that opened in October of 2017. The park had plans to add a river raft ride 
named ‘New Hampshire Explorer’, but changed their minds after an accident on a similar
ride in Australia.
Rumors started swirling as markers were seen in July behind the park’s Corkscrew coaster that 
had been rumored to be removed in prior years.

As I took a closer look, I noticed the markers all had “pool” and then a number written on them. 
The park never said anything about the addition until an ACE event on October 14th, where they 
told all the ACE members that the plans for their expansion were online.

The slides will be on a platform that is 60 feet tall and will be topped off with a thatch roof and an octopus on top. It seems as the three slides will be body slides, just like the rest of the slides in their water play structure.


Personally, I believe this will be a very good addition for such a family orientated park. Hopefully,
the new water park will attract families and convince regular park goers to give the water park a 
try.

For the future, this could very much be the last addition for a while. The park it very cautious while adding new attractions. Anyhow, I believe this will bring more people to the park and enhance the experience of this beautiful park even more.

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
