Universal Studios Florida

09.20.04
Select Photo:

This themed section at Universal Studios could be just like New York City! Except wait. Those trees are totally wrong. And that street - it's too clean. And that kid looks quite Wonder Bread. Nope, not New York City at all. READ MORE

A long metal tunnel is just one of the many highly themed elements of the Batman ride in Georgia. This is easily the most impressively themed Batman of the bunch and unlike many other Six Flags parks, this themeing is very well kept and maintained. READ MORE

Miracle Strip Park

09.09.04
Select Photo:

The simply awe inspiring (if you are me) exterior for the Dantes Inferno flat ride in the now closed Panama City Beach small park. Isn't this just the coolest exterior for a ride ride ever? You wait in line on the tongue! READ MORE

Kings Dominion

09.08.04
Select Photo:

The 1975 wood roller coaster Rebel Yell ascends the lift hill... backwards. Paramount parks (which Kings Dominion is one of) have adopted the practice of continuing to run both sides of their older wooden racing coasters, however as a novelty they run one side forwards and one side backwards. To contrast, Six Flags parks closes down one side of their racing coasters, while often completely neglecting them. READ MORE
