From October 2020. My initial attempt to record an onboard video using my iPhone. I’m curious to see how the GoPro compares when I have a chance to try it in a similar situation.
Magic Mountain Mondays #1: Viper
In August of 1995, I took a bunch of photos (on film no less) at Six Flags Magic Mountain using an inexpensive camera. I was working as an Operations supervisor at the time, and the purpose of the project was to create a slide show for an employee appreciation party for our Operations staff. I’ve carted these slides around for over 25 years and I finally had them digitally transferred this year. About 2/3s of them aren’t available for posting because they are crew pictures and I have no way to request permission to post them. But I do have 50+ available that are just various shots of the park. Enjoy this time capsule from August 1995.
Up first at number 1 is a look at the mighty Viper, as seem from Main Gate Plaza (with the fountains to the right).
You've become a part of the machinery
I often forget how great The Chameleons are. And then shuffle plays “In Shreds” and I remember.
A Touch of Disney - April 2021
We visited DCA and A Touch of Disney on April 18, 2021. I recently bought a GoPro for an upcoming roller coaster vacation and wanted to get to know the controls a bit, so that’s the video footage.
Also, it's an interesting historical document of what the California theme park experience was in April 2021. Hopefully this isn’t a marker set before a more dystopian future.
Soarin' Over California - Puzzle Pieces Vol. 11
Assigment: complete. Puzzle 4 of a 4-pack of “classic DCA” poster puzzles. This one started fairly easy like the Rapids puzzle, but took a bit longer to finish once I was down to just patches of dark colors.
Overall this was a great 4 puzzle set. Enough of a challenge to be entertaining, but not at (potentially) frustrating as a 1000 piece puzzle with standard-shaped pieces. Which is what I’m working on next.
