Michigan’s Adventure was perhaps the nicest park, as a total package, to be able to go to and enjoy in one day. Not that it had any points that were specifically better than any of the other parks, but it was put together in such an easy and enjoyable way. But I am going to … Continue reading Cedar Fair Parks Tour: Michigan’s Adventure
Our schedule for touring the parks also had a few other events on it to be planned around. That is why we didn’t hit Carowinds in the Carolinas nor Dorney Park in Pennsylvania. Our next park was on Saturday, July 8 in Vaughn Canada: Canada’s Wonderland. We left Buffalo that morning, and with generally clear … Continue reading Cedar Fair Parks Tour: Canada’s Wonderland
After our sojourn to LibertyCon 2017, the family started our second sojourn of the summer: a tour of Cedar Fair amusement parks. We began the tour in Virginia with King’s Dominion amusement park, Doswell, VA. We traveled to King’s Dominion on Monday, July 3, getting to the park for the first time during the early … Continue reading Cedar Fair Parks Tour: King’s Dominion
As an interesting coincidence, we rode the log flume at King's Island, called "Race for your life, Charlie Brown", and got home to find the feature length cartoon "Race for your life, Charlie Brown" was on our Amazon Prime recommended list. So, enjoy the preview, and know we enjoyed the viewing through Amazon Prime.
Today I want to discuss a feature of the food plan at Worlds of Fun that has been overlooked this year. For the previous two years, the foods section of WOF has had a face and a personality: Kevin Williams, executive chef. He gave color and was a presence at the BBQ & Brew Festival, … Continue reading Food — With a Lack of Personality
When I started to write this post, I intended to add a map to illustrate where the items I will talk about are located. But when I went to Google Maps I noticed that the new changes to the Worlds of Fun entrance are not on there. And the Worlds of Fun official site uses … Continue reading Some (un)official attractions at Worlds of Fun
In this week's look ahead, we have the usual spotlight on World's of Fun: Sunday is Father's Day, and the WOF website has the following blurb about the day: Celebrate Father's Day at the Belly Flop Contest in the Surf City Wave Pool at Oceans of Fun! Contest begins at approximately 2:30pm. Plus, Season Passholders … Continue reading A Look Ahead…
Spent the evening after work swimming at Oceans of Fun. The wave-pool there has a 10-minute song cycle while the waves are running. Why am I mentioning that with a title "That Darn Cat!"? Because after the park closed, we came home and started watching the classic Disney movie -- which has a whole surfing … Continue reading That Darn Cat!
Last week I had three things in my Look Ahead. This week I have the same three things. And a very mixed review of the second. First, let’s see what is going on at Worlds of Fun… Kansas City Flavor Weekends June 2-11 Now in its second and final weekend, the Kansas City Flavor looked … Continue reading A Look Ahead … and a review (look back)
I seem to be blogging a lot about Worlds of Fun this spring. It gives me something continuous to talk about. Today's post is about today. And a bit about last night. When I went for my second visit to the park last night, I overheard one employee and his supervisor talking, and mentioned expecting … Continue reading Of Turkey Legs and Time
