Christmas At Six Flags Discovery Kingdom - Holiday In The Park
Posted on December 1, 2008 - Filed Under Ride Reports | Leave a Comment
Zaira and I attended opening weekend of the second annual Holiday In The Park celebration at Six Flags Discovery Kingdom on Saturday. This event is really starting to come together and we had a wonderful time. Arriving early we were able to get our photos taken with numerous Looney Tunes characters and holiday mascots before the park even officially opened. The theme for this year’s event was Land, Sea and Snow (playing off the park’s three themed areas of Land, Sea and…
Halloween Haunt At California’s Great America - Media Night
Posted on October 5, 2008 - Filed Under Ride Reports | 17 Comments
The first ever Halloween Haunt at California’s Great America, was actually quite enjoyable. Low expectations helped.
Our excitement for being the first to attend Halloween Haunt, was somewhat dwarfed by the fact that we were going to Knott’s Scary Farm the following night, and Miley Cyrus’ Sweet 16 right after that. But despite our numerous negative experiences with Cedar Fair throughout the year, I’ve gotta admit, they put on a pretty good Haunt.
We started out with the Boo-fet, which was not only cleverly…
Halloween Haunt At California’s Great America - Preview
Posted on September 26, 2008 - Filed Under Ride Reports | 4 Comments
Great America will have it’s first ever Halloween Haunt this year, and since Cedar Fair now owns both Great America and Knott’s Berry Farm the same crew that runs the world’s first haunted amusement park attraction, Knott’s Scary Farm, will be designing and decorating Santa Clara County’s premiere theme park for the spooky season as well!
Wow, that reads a lot more like an ad then I expected :-\ Anywayz… 
Z and I will be attending opening night of Halloween Haunt…
GEICO Car Insurance Knows Customer Service
Posted on September 22, 2008 - Filed Under Personal Finance | Leave a Comment
Last September I wrote a post titled Lies of a Gecko in which I took GEICO to task for their “we’re lowering Californians’ auto insurance rates” advertising campaign. They hadn’t lowered mine at all :( Well a couple of weeks back I received my semi-annual auto insurance renewal and this time they reduced my six month insurance rate from $252.10 (a $4 reduction from last fall’s bill) to $195.30. Now that’s what I call savings!
Apparently this was a result of my…
The Long Lost California’s Great America Videos
Posted on April 27, 2008 - Filed Under Fatherhood | 1 Comment
Okay, so “long lost” is a bit of a stretch. The truth is I get so upset thinking about the nightmarish opening day at California’s Great America in March that I keep forgetting to upload these videos to Philaahzophy. They have, however, been on YouTube since Mid-March and received a couple of hundred views. So, somebody thinks they’re entertaining.
These were both taken during the karaoke event where X and her kids (Z and her two half-brothers) opened the show with Bon…
California’s Great America Has Not-So-Great Opening
Posted on April 11, 2008 - Filed Under Ride Reports | 3 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 in the past (Cedar Point back in the 80s), but their reputation in the roller coaster community is huge. So…
