Universal Studios Hollywood is back open and we took a trip there on May 8, 2021. People seem to be missing theme parks as the attraction and food lines were all quite long. But despite that we were able to ride the Studio Tram tour and the new Secret Life of Pets dark ride (full ride-through at the end of the video). And we got some quality people-watching, which has been sadly missing for the last year+. Enjoy!

Scenes from Disney's Animal Kingdom
From October 2020. A few scenes from Disney's Animal Kingdom from October 2020. Mostly footage from Kilimanjaro Safaris with a little Pandora and a rainy river view (from my favorite sitting spot at Nomad Lounge).
Riding Expedition: Everest at Disney's Animal Kingdom
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).
