Let me preface this by saying that I really did enjoy my time at Universal Studios Hollywood today, the press event was very nice, and I had a fantastic time at the park, as always. Now, that being said, I have few kind things to say about their latest show, that has a flimsy script, generally weak song lyrics and a story that just makes me wonder what they were thinking.

Looming at 255 feet in the air, Goliath is a Magic Mountain staple. The only classic example of a hyper coaster in California, Goliath is flocked to by thrill seekers all summer long. 

Six Flags Magic Mountain’s salvation has arrived in the form of Terminator Salvation: The Ride. This GCI (GCII?) woodie packs a punch both on-ride, off-ride, and in queue that is unmatched throughout the rest of the park. With better than Batman theming, better than X2 soundtrack, better than Revenge of the Mummy queue, and better than Roar! track, Terminator is the full package, and exactly what the park needed.

bobaluch93 was the winner of last week’s mystery coaster with the Great Bear. This weeks task is a little tougher, lets see who can get it.

Alright guys, I’ve been putting this update/editorial/report for far too long, and I’m finally doing it. So.. let us begin, shall we?
My Halloween season started off at Universal Studios Hollywood’s Halloween Horror Nights (That’s a mouthful) on October  3rd. This year’s theme was “Living Your Worst Nightmares” and the ringleader was the master of nightmares himself, Freddy Krueger. Like last year, we saw the Texas Chainsaw Massacre and Friday the Thirteenth mazes in top form as usual. However, we also recieved a brand new Nightmare On Elm Street maze that took …

Hey guys, I finally got out to the Disneyland Resort and was able to experience Toy Story Mania, California Adventure’s newest attraction.

Back to the Future fans will cry, Simpson’s fans will get misty eyed, thrill ride fans will scream, and all will laugh at the newest addition to Universal Studios Hollywood: The Simpsons Ride.

As part of the Nantimi promotion that Coasterdom took part in, I was invited to go to Hersheypark and experience Fahrenheit. The plan was to enter the park at 9:30 with the other Nantimi winners and have 15 minutes of ERT on Fahrenheit. Unfortunately, Fahrenheit valleyed on the first test run of the day. By about 12:00 or so they had a crane on site and were beginning to do work in order to get the train down. By about 3:00 the ride was freed and testing began. The coaster …

I recently received a copy of Theme Park Review’s Coaster Expedition 10 DVD and thoroughly enjoyed it. This DVD features many parks in the Mid-Western region of the United States, and the majority of the footage was taken during last years Theme Park Review Midwest trip. Some of the highlight parks include Cedar Point, Kings Island, Holiday World and Kennywood. With POV footage of Maverick, Renegade, The Voyage, and much, much more.

Everyone knows that S:RoS is ranked as the number one coaster on our planet. But do you all know why? I’ll make it my job to let you know. The red and blue giant of a coaster is located fittingly in the back of SFNE in the DC Comics area of the park along the Connecticut River. Luckily the crowds were very low on my visit, so my experience in the queue line wasn’t …
