We were so excited to be present at California’s Great America for the opening day of their 40th season! Although it may not have been the perfect start to the season, we still had a lot of fun, and we are very happy to have this park back open! Please keep in mind there may be some mild complaints throughout this article. They are not meant with malicious intent, but rather honesty. Nonetheless, we had a fantastic day.

This Update will be a short one, but let’s check in with the happenings at Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk! There were some pretty decent crowds due to the cheer-leading competition held directly adjacent to the park, so it made for a very interesting trip.

There definitely isn’t as much progress made as the last couple of weeks before. But sure enough important changes to report on Twisted Colossus. There’s a lot of prep going on for perhaps the most complex element of the ride, the Top Gun! For Scream!, interestingly enough the repaint hasn’t been completed yet. Continue reading “Twisted Colossus and Scream! Update – March 15th 2015”
For weeks it was known that Jurassic Park was to reopen on the 14th of March, after a big refurbishment! So we didn’t want to miss out, and headed over. Then things didn’t go as planned, and many angry guests later, Universal Studios still didn’t manage to resolve the issues in time. Nonetheless we’ve got a wonderfully diverse update for you! Continue reading “Universal Studios Hollywood Update – March 14th 2015”
Rocky Mountain construction and Six Flags Magic Mountain really picked up the pace! Twisted Colossus has a huge amount of new track installed, including the craziest twisting double-down anywhere. Scream!’s repaint is almost complete. We have many pictures of both! Continue reading “Twisted Colossus and Scream! Update – March 7th 2015”
The Six Flags Magic Mountain 2015 Map has arrived! Take a look! 
Twisted Colossus is surprisingly listed as a ‘Moderate Thrill’. I definitely believe that it will be a bit more intense than that, but perhaps this is to attract a larger audience. Scream will not change its name, and will be opening again as Scream, it seems. Which would make sense for a themed area that’s called ‘Screampunk District’. The park-map also isn’t updated to Scream’s new color scheme. The new restaurant, Twisted ‘Wiches Street Deli is on the map, and will not have Dining Pass options for the 2015 Season. The Magic Moments Theater is renamed the ‘Gearwork Theater’. (Which sounds way better than ‘The Looking-glass Theater’). Also, the new ‘Walk-Around Characters can be found in the new Screampunk District! As far as Flashpass goes, you may notice that there isn’t a Flashpass logo next to Twisted Colossus. Which indicates that it’ll likely have an up-charged Flashpass, like X2, Full Throttle, and apparently Superman: Escape From Krypton.
