Traveling the Globe for the Best Coasters and Theme Parks
McLaren: Typically, people start their day with a cup of coffee to get their energy levels up to an adequate day-starting level. Last week, however, the coffee wasn’t needed until much later in the day as California’s Great America provided an ever more effective way to wake up… RailBlazer. Continue reading “RailBlazer- Now Open at California’s Great America”
Sven: Since the Walt Disney Company took over the resort in Paris, we have seen quite a few changes. One look at the event calendar and you’ll have a hard time planning when to visit. Traditionally, the summer seasons holds a special theme though and this year, something brand new awaits you. What they can’t do in California, they can do in Paris: the Marvel Summer of Heroes! Continue reading “Disneyland Paris Update – Marvel Summer of Heroes – June 17th 2018”
Sean: We just had a Six Flags Magic Mountain Update from late last week, but here we are with another new update with lots of details, Cyclone Bay construction, 4th of July Fest, Hurricane Harbor, CraZanity testing, AND… an Opening Date! Continue reading “Six Flags Magic Mountain Update – June 26th 2018 – CraZanity Testing!”
Sean: While we were enjoying our time at Busch Gardens Williamsburg, Six Flags Magic Mountain wasted no time getting started on the massive Cyclone Bay project. In addition, the park continues efforts of preparing CraZanity to open to the public. Join us for a quick Six Flags Magic Mountain update with CraZanity and Cyclone Bay construction! Continue reading “CraZanity and Cyclone Bay – Six Flags Magic Mountain Report – June 22nd 2018”
Alexander: Welcome all to Cabin Crew Coaster Kings’ coverage of the American Coaster Enthusiasts’ annual roller coaster convention, Coaster Con!
It’s ACE’s 40th Anniversary, so the convention is being hosted where the club began: Virginia (Six Flags America is also part of the itinerary, located in nearby Maryland).
After picking up our registration packets and reuniting with some of the hundreds of folks I’ve been riding coasters with the last several years, we set out for Six Flags America. Continue reading “Six Flags America – Coaster Con XLI”
Sven: Europe contains lots of beautiful theme parks, but next to that it also has quite some nice and special zoos. There’s one in particular that we recently visited and that opened not one, but two coasters! Read all about the Dutch zoo: Wildlands Emmen! Continue reading “Wildlands Emmen 2018”
Alexander: On the last day of Passholder Preview for Railblazer, Sean and I made the journey to California’s Great America to see what all the fuss is about and to do a general update on the park. Continue reading “California’s Great America Update – June 13, 2018”
Sean: A quick summer afternoon trip to Six Flags Magic Mountain allowed for us to collect a nice bit of pictures for today’s new update. In this update we’ll discuss the reopening of Scrambler, CraZanity construction, the state in which Cyclone Bay is, and more! Continue reading “Six Flags Magic Mountain Update – June 12th 2018”
Alexander: Another day, another coaster-laden layover! This time it’s Pittsburgh and beautiful Kennywood Park!
Sven: Last week our correspondent Yannick visited one of the best theme parks in the world: Europa-Park. As you now, they were recently struck by a big fire caused by one of their rides. See for yourself how things are now! Continue reading “Europa-Park Update – After The Fire – June 2018”
Sean: This week we ventured to yet another few parks around the country. On some quick layovers we hit up two Cedar Fair parks. Valleyfair! was a new park for me, as where Carowinds was a much appreciated re-visit. Both visits took place within 24 hrs of each other, so why not create one report?
Alexander: Holiday World in Santa Claus, Indiana is an iconic brand in the American theme park landscape, famous for its friendly staff, spotless midways, excellent value, enormous water park, and stellar collection of modern wooden coasters.
Holiday World’s reputation is often louder than the park itself; the moves they make at this point are often not as boisterous as the enthusiast communities’ response to them. Everything – from management conflict to new rides – has been hotly discussed over the last 15+ years or so, and whether one’s opinion is positive or negative, it goes without saying that opinions of Holiday World are often strong ones.

Sean: Summer is almost here and that means theme-park season has begun! We have made quite some trips around the globe already this year, but there is no better time than Spring to explore some of the United States’ best parks. In this Cabin Crew Coaster Kings report, I’ll be sharing my first time experience at Kings Island. Enjoy! Continue reading “Cabin Crew Coaster KINGS ISLAND”
Edward from Ride!: We’re back with yet another quick update. We decided to celebrate the park’s 47th anniversary and see the new progress for CraZanity. The Boardwalk is nearing completion with tiny projects yet to be finished. With all the construction going on around, it’s really fun to imagine where it’s all headed. Let’s take a look! Continue reading “Six Flags Magic Mountain Update – May 29th 2018”
Alexander: When work sends you to Nederlands on 3hrs notice, what do you do? You go to a theme park, of course!
Avonturenpark Hellendoorn is a park that Sean and I wanted to hit on our Europe trip, but there just wasn’t enough time! Lucky for me, the opportunity to visit came less than a month later! Continue reading “Avonturenpark Hellendoorn”

Alexander: After a trip of wins, we finally took a loss on the final parks of our Europe tour, Disneyland Park Paris and Walt Disney Studios.
While Efteling, Walibi, De Warbeek, Slagharen, Movie Park, and Phantasialand (swoon) all shattered expectations, Disneyland Paris Resort showed us why it’s the weakest link in Disney’s 6-link chain. Continue reading “Disneyland Paris Resort”
