Theme parks, travel, and occasional running. I write things @parkrovers

@GlidingAway2 1902!

Never imagined that this day 3 years ago might have been my one and only chance to ride Leap the Dips. In hindsight, I should have gotten more than 3 rides, but we’re traveling through PA enough that I didn’t think anything of it at the time

@Defunctland goes on big screen

@TheThrillDude Mullet coaster - Arrow on the top, RMC in the back

I’m having my students create a theme park from the ground up for their final project this year. Community poll: what manufacturer do we think built this student’s coaster?

@BGWFans The decision to take Big Bad Wolf’s slam dunk story of “this old Bavarian town is being terrorized by a wolf” and turn it into a modern dystopian laboratory was a baffling choice. Possibly worst house I’ve ever been through anywhere

After my construction tour, I just kept repeating how the scale of Project Purple does not come through well in photos. That is a whole ass roller coaster to the left, completely dwarfed by one inverted stall

@SoCal360 The needle drop into an unedited “Still Dre” was a jaw dropping moment. We didn’t believe it actually happened until a second ride

Already nostalgic for the babies first park trip… it’s been a week @BuschGardensVA

[Eric@theparks @themeparkcreat2]

@GreenCheetah99 Phew!

[Eric@theparks @themeparkcreat2]

@ThemeParkLore Oh thank goodness!

Sad day.. Lost Continent was hands down my favorite area in OG Islands. While it stands as a shell of its former self, I still loved visiting on every trip.

🚨 Universal finally confirmed major Lost Continent changes at Islands of Adventure… and Mythos will officially close in 2027 😳
Excited for the future, but this one hurts. What replaces Lost Continent? 👀

Baby’s first theme park ride 🚂@BuschGardensVA

[Eric@theparks @themeparkcreat2]

Hasn’t quite reached the height limits yet but she’s ready in spirit @BuschGardensVA

[Eric@theparks @themeparkcreat2]

Petition for next years race course to go through Clown Town @BuschGardensVA

[Eric@theparks @themeparkcreat2]

@TheThrillDude @BuschGardensVA Or two 🎢

[Eric@theparks @themeparkcreat2]

I’ve never crossed a finish line and gotten right on a coaster @BuschGardensVA

[Eric@theparks @themeparkcreat2]

Beautiful day for a run @BuschGardensVA

I like how they are revamping everything on Verbolten, but I’m not sure how I feel about the car. I know theres “more” thematic elements now, but the old version looked more realistic. Hoping some aging work has yet to be done, make it feel less shiny and plastic
