And overall, this was a great weekend hanging out with @jkwanny.bsky.social!

My original plan was to just spend 2.5 days at Wonderland, but I'm really glad we made those side trips to Darien Lake/Niagara and Santa's Village.

Would have loved more time, but I don't regret how we spent what we had.

Yup. That's right. It's the infamous Burger King Coaster!

Astute readers will note that I actually visited and rode this a year ago. But @jkwanny.bsky.social still needed the credit and it was on our way back to Toronto.

Today is the last day of operation for Hollywood Rip Ride Rockit RIP.
Fun fact the brakes on the drop exist only they need to evac a train from the lifthill, they'll force the train to valley to evac there instead.

It's interesting seeing the subtle differences between the Super Nintendo Worlds of Epic Universe (Sunny photo) & Universal Studios Japan (Cloudy photo).

It was announced that Six Flags America will close at the end of the 2025 season. This was the 1st SF I visited outside of my home SF. People say it's the worst SF, but I actually enjoyed myself here.
