This past Saturday & Sunday (June 3-4th), Olivia and I jumped in the car to make an early morning trek to visit two of our favorite home amusement parks: Kings Dominion and Busch Gardens Williamsburg! See below for a recap of both of our amazing park visits: We had such a blast at both parksContinue reading “Spring Visits to Kings Dominion & Busch Gardens Williamsburg”

This past Wednesday morning, my brother and I landed in Tampa to celebrate my upcoming wedding and bachelor weekend. Since I had a bit of time to kill the next morning while he finished up some work, I chose to pop over to Busch Gardens Tampa for a few hours to activate my brand-new seasonContinue reading “Bachelor Weekend at BGT”

Last Thursday the 24th I decided to make a spur the moment trip to one of my home parks just a few hours down the road in Charlotte, NC: the beautiful & up-and-coming Carowinds. I lucked out tremendously with the crowds—one of the reasons I decided to make the trip in particular—but it turned outContinue reading “Solo Trip to Carowinds”

After an arduous two year wait, Busch Gardens finally debuted their brand-new & highly-anticipated Intamin multi-launch coaster: Pantheon. Originally slated to open spring of 2020, the worldwide pandemic had other plans and the opening was delayed indefinitely. Two trying years later, the coaster was finally ready to be unveiled, and trust me when I sayContinue reading “First Rides on Pantheon at BGW!”

For our last trip out west for the 2022 ski season, me and my fiancé accompanied a good friend to the mountains of Colorado to snowboard for a long weekend. We were luckily joined by two of our other good “couple” friends to explore a some new and old (to us) terrain. Check out theContinue reading “Last Shred of the ’22 Ski Season”

This past week I was lucky enough to experience four days in the beautiful mountains of Colorado skiing and riding with good friends. We were able to make this trip out west pretty efficiently (in terms of time-off work and $) and we still managed to ride three incredible resorts over the extended weekend. TakeContinue reading “Bro’s Trip to Vail, Breck, and the Beav”

This past weekend, Olivia and I had the pleasure of visiting one of the most authentic theme parks I have ever seen: Dollywood in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee. We had an absolute blast at the park’s signature Christmas event, Smoky Mountain Christmas, and we can’t wait to return in the future. Take a look below atContinue reading “Smoky Mountain Christmas at Dollywood”

The month of October has sadly come to an end, and with that brings time to reflect on this year’s Halloween Horror Nights event at Universal Orlando Resort. This year’s edition was another amazing time, and we were lucky enough to spend three nights getting spooked at HHN. For a full recap of our timeContinue reading “Final Thoughts and Rankings from Halloween Horror Nights 30”

Olivia and I spent the weekend in Southwest Virginia celebrating a good friend’s wedding, and what better excuse than to make a quick trip (2 hours) over to our favorite Virginia theme park for their annual Halloween event, Howl-O-Scream at Busch Gardens Williamsburg. Take a look at the video below for the entire recap ofContinue reading “Howl-O-Scream at Busch Gardens Williamsburg”

After being with my fiancé for over four years now, it is almost a crime that I have yet to visit her hometown park of Kennywood. It is a park that I grew up reading and learning about, as it is over 100 years old and chock full of history. Kennywood has done an amicableContinue reading “My First Visit to Kennywood in West Mifflin, PA”
