Philaahzophy Posts On "Ride Reports"-

Subcategories: |

Ride Reports is my personal short hand for “stuff concerning amusement parks, theme parks, play areas, carnivals, county fairs, midways, and other such spots”. Oh it also covers all sorts of rides, from kiddie rides to roller coasters, flats to dark rides and everything in between. That said, please keep your hands and arms inside the car at all times when the blog is in motion….

California CoasterQuest Continues

Posted on May 16, 2008 - Filed Under Ride Reports | Leave a Comment

My long term goal of riding every roller coaster in California has tripped into high gear with the coming of Spring and all the amusement parks opening up for the year. In fact, next week three new coasters are supposed to be opening here in California: Pony Express at Knott’s Berry Farm (Thursday, May 22nd); Tony Hawk’s Big Spin at Six…

Vacation Posts Are Coming Soon - I Promise

Posted on May 15, 2008 - Filed Under Ride Reports, Travel | Leave a Comment

I know, I know, I’ve been back four days and still haven’t posted very much about our vacation last week. The truth is I’ve been working at it, but processing dozens of videos and well over a thousand photos is taking much longer than I expected.

Everything’s been processed now and it’s just a matter of getting all of the photos…

A Brief Vacation Report

Posted on May 13, 2008 - Filed Under Ride Reports, Travel | Leave a Comment

Man, did I need that! Four days of not having to worry about anything or anyone was exactly what the doctor ordered. There was way too much happening on this trip to dump into a single post. But instead of making y’all wait until I have time to write and publish the 25 or so individual blog posts I have planned…

What Happened To Aahz And Z?

Posted on May 7, 2008 - Filed Under Ride Reports | Leave a Comment

Although I’m going to try to update Philaahzophy over the next few days I don’t know if I’m going to be able to. Why?

Because I’m taking Z on a surprise trip to both the Soft Opening and the Grand Opening of the new Hard Rock Park amusement park in Myrtle Beach, SC!!!

We’ve been tracking the progress of Hard Rock Park since…

Part of the Carnival Midway Games Series - Previous in series

Carnival season is upon us once again. Z and I visited our first carnival of the year a few weeks back and will be visiting our second this coming weekend. Thus, it seems time to refresh the memories of all those ‘big strapping’ men out there looking…

Changes On The Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk Midway

Posted on April 27, 2008 - Filed Under Ride Reports | Leave a Comment

Z and I made our first joint trek of 2008 to the Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk last weekend. I’ve been unable to afford to renew our season passes yet, so it was a games only day (oh and Z finally got her first deep fried twinkie - she liked it ). Sometime over the winter semi-closure of the Boardwalk a…

California’s Great America Has Not-So-Great Opening

Posted on April 11, 2008 - Filed Under Ride Reports | 2 Comments

As a roller coaster junkie I was really looking forward to opening day of California’s Great America. Although not a new park (Great America has been in Santa Clara for more than 30 years now) March 16th was the first public operation day under the new name and under Cedar Fair’s watch. I’ve only been to one Cedar Fair park…

Thirty One Days To Hard Rock Goodness!!

Posted on April 7, 2008 - Filed Under Ride Reports | Leave a Comment

Where were you on July 17, 1955? Me, I wasn’t even a gleam in my then seven-year old mother’s eye. But if I were to somehow be transported back in time there is only one place I would have wanted to be on that fateful day. For that was the day that Walt Disney changed the world by opening what…
