Finish with a shower

Somehow we only had sun and humidity for our entire June WDW trip until the last day when a thunderstorm rolled in. No complaints.

Magic Mountain Mondays #6: Flashback

Flashback: straight garbage. I have nothing else to say at this time. I highly recommend this video from Expedition Theme Park if you want to learn more.

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.

Knott's Berry Farm - first visit since the re-opening.

Berry Tales 4-D, HangTime, and other rollercoasters!

While Knott's had been open in the form of food festivals for most of the pandemic, regular operations just restarted in the 2nd half of May 2021. The food festivals were a lot of fun, but at the same time it was a bummer to see all of the rollercoasters sitting idle. With that in mind, we set a May 29, 2021 park reservation and prioritized the "new to us" attractions of HangTime and Berry Tales 4-D followed by Xcelerator and Montezooma's Revenge. Pretty much the same M.O. as our other park visits - get there early, ride 3-4 attractions while the park fills up, and then walk around, grab a beer, get some food, etc. (not *that* Food Etc. however). Great trip overall - enjoy!
