It’s day three at Walt Disney World. Time for the main event! A place where wishes filled with wonder lead to fantasy and adventure, and if you believe in magic, dreams become destiny, the frontier meets tomorrow, and today, I’ll take the liberty to explore it all! It’s the world’s most visited theme park, a veritable icon, and it’s home to many of the most memorable and beloved attractions anywhere.

I’m interrupting the Disney series to make a special announcement about my major trip for this year because one…..It’s coming up ridiculously quickly, and two, I booked it back in November and it’s taken every fiber of my being to keep it under wraps until now. It’s gonna be thirteen days in late May, and I’ll visit eight parks with 64 possible credits, and you better believe there are some bangers on this itinerary. So to get things kicked off, I’ll reveal all the parks on this trip, t...

When it comes to thrills at Walt Disney World, there are more to be found at Hollywood Studios than any other park in the resort, and while I loved Animal Kingdom yesterday, I was ready for some adrenaline! I loved the immersive themed Toy Story and Star Wars lands, was charmed by Slinky Dog Dash and Mickey & Minnie's Runaway Railway, and had my mind blown on wild thrill rides like Rock 'n' Roller Coaster, Rise of the Resistance, and Tower of Terror. So join me for my first-t...

Have you ever heard that saying, “There’s an elephant in the room?” It’s kind of a weird expression, but it means that there’s something so big and so obvious standing right there, yet it’s not being talked about. Well, my elephant is the Walt Disney World Resort, and while I've lived in Florida for the better part of 15 years, I haven't been here since I was ten years old. Cost, complexity, and a focus on family-friendly attractions have deterred me from visiting in the pas...

It’s time to get those typing thumbs warmed up because right now, I’m putting a bullseye squarely on my chest. Today, I’m gonna count down my top 25 roller coasters as of the end of 2025. I haven’t done one of these since the 2023 season finale, and with two years’ worth of new experiences, I think it’s time. This has been my most requested topic as of late, and with a monster season planned for the new year, I figure it’s a good time to pause, reflect, and then give you a preview...

On my way home from visiting family and friends in my hometown south of Boston, I stopped in Allentown, PA to complete the eastern Pennsylvania trifecta. I did Knoebels and Hersheypark in 2023, and this time I stopped at Dorney Park. Neglected for years by Cedar Fair, they finally added a new roller coaster in 2024, the Iron Menace B&M dive machine. From the second I walked through the gate, I was charmed by the atmosphere, charm, and overall quality of this lower-tier l...

Back in October, I made a road trip back to my hometown in Massachusetts to visit my parents and friends. Six Flags New England was the typical choice for a theme park visit in the area, but come to find out, my friend Eric's daughter was going to Canobie Lake Park with her Girl Scout troop. I hadn't been there since my eighth grade class trip, so I loved the idea of going back as an adult. Join me for a trip down memory lane to re-experience this New England gem with rides on the...

I visited Cedar Point last June, hoping to ride Top Thrill 2, the re-imagined version of the world's first continuous circuit 400-foot tall roller coaster. It closed a few weeks before due to technical issues with the prototype trains, and unfortunately never re-opened for the remainder of the 2024 season. Then out of nowhere, Cedar Point announced Siren's Curse, North America's first Vekoma tilt coaster, would open in 2025 alongside Top Thrill 2. Now, with two spectacular ...

Kennywood, located just outside Pittsburgh, PA is one of America's finest traditional amusement parks. I last visited in 1998 as a budding coaster enthusiast when Steel Phantom had loops. That ride has since been reimagined into Phantom's Revenge, and the park's added the Sky Rocket launched coaster, and Steel Curtain, an innovative multi-looping monster to stand alongside their historic trio of wood coasters. Plus, I have family in Pittsburgh, and it was great to catch up w...
