McLaren: With summer right around the corner, Knott’s Berry Farm is working on some last minute refurbishments and improvements around the park. I spent a couple hours in the park on Wednesday morning and as always, it was a pleasurable experience; crowds were at a low as school isn’t quite out yet and the weather was overcast and cool.

In this Update we’ll also take a look at the awesome progress being made on Knott’s Soak City. Which is receiving 7 new slides this year! Continue reading “Knott’s Berry Farm and Soak City Update – Late April 2017”

Sean: After visiting two of the country’s best parks, that have been in the spotlight a lot recently, it was time to check out another new park in the South. The most Southern of them all… Six Flags Over Georgia! One thing I may have learned on this trip is: if it’s another Six Flags park, expect another Six Flags experience. Let’s find out what this park in the chain has to offer with its near-perfect lineup of attractions. Continue reading “From Southwest to Southeast: Six Flags Over Georgia”

While we take a quick look at Sol Spin and its light package, we’ll also discuss the Boysenberry Festival light package on Supreme Scream! Continue reading “Sol Spin Testing – Sol Spin Light Package – Supreme Scream Boysenberry Light Package”
Jeremy: This week we ventured out to Six Flags Discovery Kingdom to see what has been going on at the park lately, as well as to see if there is a glimpse of Wonder Woman in the making. We went to the park this last Friday, and there was quite a downpour of rain in the beginning of the day. To our surprise though, most everything was running! Let’s take a look in our new Six Flags Discovery Kingdom Update.

Plenty of great food and awesome rides with minimal lines! Continue reading “Knott’s Berry Farm – Boysenberry Festival 2017!”
Sean: Guardians of the Galaxy- Mission: Breakout! is already well received by many, and there are still plenty of Disney fans that are upset that Tower of Terror has left Disney California Adventure Park. We’re actually quite excited for the relaunch of the drop ride and the ride looks surprisingly much better than the original concepts! Let’s take a look at the exterior as of the first week of April: Continue reading “Guardians of the Galaxy- Mission: Breakout! – Exterior Early April”
