We're joined by our 4th companion today as we spend a few hours in Carowinds before making the drive from North Carolina to Pigeon Forge. Upon arrival there's a brief room tour of our hotel and then a quick trip to "The Island" in Pigeon Forge for dinner and moonshine. Next video: finally at Dollywood. For now, enjoy!
SE Coaster Trip 2023: our first time at Carowinds! Day 1...spent riding roller coasters, of course!
Our first visit to Carowinds, part of our SE Roller Coaster 2023 road trip. We're joined by my sister and her boyfriend Alex (Alex not featured today) who came in on a red eye to join us. We walk from our hotel, ride many roller coasters, love Copperhead Strike, and lament Fury 325 being closed. Come for day 1, and look forward to day 2. Enjoy!
Magic Mountain Mondays #46: Revolución
Did someone say Revolution?
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.
SE Coaster Trip 2023 road trip day: VA to NC, and a Carowinds SpringHill Suites Room Tour!
After a few days in Virginia, we're hitting the road to the Carolinas. No park footage as such today, though we end up at the Carowinds SpringHill Suites for a few nights and full room tour.
Back at Kings Dominion, 2023: 100% open & 100% hot! Twisted Timbers, Jungle X-pedition, & much more!
After our unsuccessful 2021 trip to Kings Dominion, we're back to ride all the coasters. The weather had it in for us, but we rode it all, including the infamous Intimidator 305. This was the 2nd stop on our 2023 SE Coaster Tour. Enjoy!
