This morning, following a somewhat eventful night driving through the Blue Mountains in Vermont after leaving Six Flags Great Escape, we embarked on the first of two park visits scheduled for the day at Canobie Lake Park. Arriving promptly at opening time, we aimed to make the most of our visit by maximizing our time at the park. The first impressions of the park exudes a reminiscent charm akin to Disneyland with its thematic elements. However, unlike dedicating specific area

After spending the morning at Canobie Lake Park today, I headed to Six Flags New England, which was a few hours away, to try out some of the rides. Fortunately, upon my arrival, there were few people, indicating a promising day with a good chance of experiencing all the attractions. This park first of all has a very unique layout. Most of the park is in a straight line unless you are going down the hill towards Superman or are in the Mainstreet area of the park. The first rid

Today, we are visiting Six Flags Great Escape in Lake George, NY. Initially established in 1954 as Story Book USA, this park was themed around Mother Goose. As time passed, the park underwent various transformations, introducing new themed sections and roller coasters, leading to a name change to Great Escape in 1983. Subsequently, it became part of the Six Flags chain, although it does not prominently feature the Six Flags branding. Located away from the main tourist area of

Following a morning spent at Waldameer Park, I embarked on a 3-hour drive to reach my next park stop on my 2022 road trip. This next destination was Darien Lake in Darien Center, New York, situated just east of Buffalo. I would arrive to find the park pretty packed for the evening. I had quite a few roller coasters to hit in a limited amount of time so I had to be careful on time management for this visit. On tot he first rollercoaster, Ride of Steel. Ride of Steel Upon arriv

Having been traveling for a few days on my yearly theme-park road trip, I opted to visit Casino Pier, my second seaside amusement park of the day and 9th park of the trip. I was surprised by the number of rides that this compact seaside park managed to fit into its limited space. Naturally, the main highlight of our visit was the renowned Pirates Hideaway, I mean, Hydrus. Hydrus, a unique Euro-Fighter roller coaster, is produced by Gerstlauer. It includes a 72-foot climb, a s

As Kennywood was the final park on the trip and I was visiting for the first time, I was optimistic that most of the rides would be operational. However, considering the past issues with Steel Curtain and Skyrocket, I was unsure if they would be available. I also wondered if I could ride Thunderbolt alone, which remained to be seen. One aspect worth mentioning about Kennywood is the challenge of reaching the park. Navigating the roads can be quite tricky as it is situated on

Today marked the final leg of my Annual roller coaster road trip as I headed towards Kings Island to experience their new Giga-coaster, Orion. Unbeknownst to me, I would end up delaying my visit to Kings Island by a day and instead have the opportunity to explore a park that opens to the public less than five times a year, this park is known as Stricker's Grove. Out of curiosity, I made the decision to check if Stickers Grove would be open on my return journey home, only to f

Following my visit to the Huntsville Space Center in Alabama, I made my way to Bowling Green, KY, where I planned to visit the Corvette Museum and Mammoth Caves the next morning. However, for tonight's entertainment, I decided to explore a lesser-known family park called Beech Bend Park. Beech Bend Park stands out for its close proximity to a Racing Drag Strip, offering visitors the opportunity to enjoy an extra thrilling attraction during races. Moreover, the park is home to

Today marked the halfway point of my annual roller coaster road trip for 2021. The destination today was Hot Springs Arkansas, which is where Hot Springs National Park is. So you may question why go to the middle of Arkansas on a roller coaster road trip? Well, the area I was heading has an amusement park called Magic Springs, and as explained later in the trip report, would have one of the rarest roller coaster credits around. Upon arriving at Magic Springs, I noticed that t

Today's park of the 2021 road trip is at Worlds of Fun. I when I arrived, I went over to the Village of Fun Campground to see if my cabin was ready and was informed that they did not do check-ins till 4, so i headed next door to the Wolds of Fun amusement park. Here are some important details to consider about Worlds of Fun. Lamar Hunt, who owned the Kansas City Chiefs at the time, established the park in collaboration with his business partners Jack Steadman and Randall Duel

Today marks the beginning of the second park of the 21' theme park road trip at Adventureland! After spending the night at the campground, my initial impression of this place was somewhat negative due to my tent getting flooded. But let's move on to the trip report! Located within walking distance of the park, Adventureland Campground allowed me to easily stroll over for the park's opening. As I approached the park entrance, I couldn't help but notice the striking resemblance

Today marked the beginning of my annual roller coaster road trip. It was my first time visiting Indiana Beach and my first visit to an amusement park since the mask mandates were lifted. Thanks to businessman Gene Staples, who bought the park when Apex was about to close it permanently, I had the opportunity to experience Indiana Beach. Now, let's move on to the trip report. After stopping at Indiana Beach campground to set up my tent for the night, I proceeded to the park. D
