Disneyland California!

By -
Back in June I visited The Original Disney park, Disneyland!
Disneyland had so much charm and such a different feel than any amusement park I've  ever visited. Everything was impeccably clean,every single staff member had a smile on their face, and they have the most efficient operations I have ever seen! 
Now lets get on to the photos!

Tomorrowland was probably my favorite area of the park. I absolutely loved the Space/Sci-Fi theming!
The anchor of this area is Space Mountain! This indoor coaster is an absolute blast! A simple layout was made into a fantastic attraction with simple lighting, an amazing soundtrack, and some Disney Magic. 

I found the Buzz Lightyear attraction very lackluster compared to its counterpart in Orlando. There was not enough action going on, and we ended up waiting 30 minutes longer than the posted wait time.

The Astro Orbiter was my final ride of the night, and was a BLAST! Had a perfect ride cycle, and provided some pretty great views of the park!
-------
New Orleans Square is home to two awesome Dark Rides, The Haunted Mansion and Pirates of the Caribbean. The area was very well themed, and actually did remind me of a recent trip to New Orleans! 


Pirates of the Caribbean was a very fun and well themed ride. I was shocked by how long the attraction was, while still keeping each scene interesting! I thought it was really cool how the one of the scenes was intertwined with one of the parks full service restaurant.

The Haunted Mansion is such a classic ride, you can't help but to love it! It has the perfect ride length, the scenes aren't too scary, and it has the perfect amount of cheesiness. Absolute perfection, and so much fun! 

-----
It's a Small World is such a Disney classic, and I just had to take a ride on it! while the song is extremely repetitive, the ride itself is adorable and reminded me of Disney World trips I would take as a kid. 

----
Big Thunder Mountain was a fun family coaster. I prefer its counterpart in Orlando, but that didn't stop me from having a blast on this compact, immersive mine train coaster! The theming was incredible, and really brought an average coaster up to a new level!
-----
Adventureland was so much fun, mostly thanks to the Dole Whip Stand. I thoroughly enjoyed my two trips on Jungle Cruise, and both of our drivers were absolutely hilarious, and the ride was a ton of fun in the dark at night. 

-----

Matterhorn Bobsleds was a very exciting experience, as this is one coaster that doesn't have a counterpart in Orlando. The ride, while rough, was a ton of fun, and I really loved the interactions it had both inside and outside of the mountain, along with the Yeti. The splashdown was also a very cool element on this ride!

----
Disneyland was an amazing experience. It's one of those places where you step through the gates, and just forget about everything going on in the outside world, because here, you're surrounded by magic. This is now one of my favorite parks ever!

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
