Captain EO is back, and he is here to change the world. Through song. Well, it IS the 80s after all. So all kitsch is not counted against Captain EO, and may in fact help its cause. Centering on a “rag-tag band” that goes on dangerous missions, saving one world at a time… Well… You get the idea. George Lucas was one of the Executive Producers and it shows. Many a Star Wars reference abound, most of which were not easter eggs, and the 3D and other special effects are …

I don’t know about you guys, but I have become weary of all these “best of the year” “top ten of the decade” “year in review” lists and I think it’s my job to give you something just a tad more interesting. Well, unless you really dig those top ten lists, because then you’ll most likely be disappointed.
So I’m going to give you my absolute favorite new additions of the year. Favorite ride and show. Perhaps favorite isn’t the best word – most memorable seems to fit the bill a …

Jake takes a tour of Universal Studios: Hollywood’s new show, The Creature From the Black Lagoon

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 …
