Halloween Haunt At California’s Great America - Media Night

Posted on October 5, 2008 - Filed Under Ride Reports | Leave a Comment

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…

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…

Finally Found The Once In A Lifetime

Posted on September 4, 2008 - Filed Under Fatherhood, Miley Cyrus' Sweet 16 Party | Leave a Comment

Part of the Miley Cyrus’ Disney Sweet 16 Series -         Next in series

As a father I’m always searching for that once in a lifetime experience that I can provide to Z.  This is compounded by my long absence from her life.  But what could it be: attending the finals of American Idol? Tried, failed; backstage passes to a rock concert - not as once in a lifetime as it seems; Opening day at a major amusement park? …

Getting It All Back Together

Posted on July 28, 2008 - Filed Under Fatherhood | 1 Comment

Wow!  It’s been a really great summer.  I suppose I should say it was a really great summer, ’cause mine’s over now.  It started early (with the trip to Hard Rock Park’s opening in May) so I suppose it’s only fair that it end early as well. Tomorrow Z boards a plane to visit my mother for two weeks, then she starts school about a week after returning.

Not only did Z and I have some amazing experiences this summer, but…

X2 - Xtreme Roller Coaster Pain at Six Flags Magic Mountain

Posted on July 9, 2008 - Filed Under Ride Reports | Leave a Comment

Last fall I made an “emergency” trip down to Six Flags Magic Mountain to be one of the last people to ever ride X, their Arrow Dynamics created prototype 4th dimension coaster, before they did a $10 Million revamp and transformed it into X2. I was very much not impressed, rating it a 3 on a scale of 1-10.

In May I paid for Z and her mother to spend the night in Magic Mountain and get to be some of the…

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 about it allow me to just say that I used to feel like the kitten on the left (barely hangin’…
