Waterworld and Boardwalk

I went to Santa Cruz and Waterworld recently. I hadn't been to Waterworld in years. I rode the Tornado, Big Kahuna and Honululu Halfpipe.

I went to Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk as well. The Merry-Go-Round and the Giant Dipper are national historic landmarks.

The Sea Swings is one of their newest rides.

Cavemen visit the boardwalk. This one prefers the Sky Glider....

....but most prefer the Cave Train Adventure.

One fast update. The rock band MyX will perform at Busch Gardens in Tampa Bay, Florida. The lead singer Sylvie is SOOO hot!

ACF

I visited the Alameda County Fair. This year they announced The Pirates of Emerson are relocating here. I've never been there.

I rode the Wacky Worm twice, against my brother's will.

The Giant Wheel is my parent's favorite ride.

Another coaster I rode is the Pole Position.

2 more I went on was 1001 Nachts and the Oktoberfest Wave Swinger.

That's about it for now!

Great America 2

On Monday I went back to Great America. We were going on tuesday but it was my mom's 25th anniversary.

I went on the Loggers Run again, but Mom went along for the ride this time.

I went on Flight Deck as my last ride.

My first ride was Carousel Columbia.

Star Tower is the 2nd tallest attraction in the park. The tallest is Drop Tower.

Celebration Swings was one of the several new attractions for 2001.

Barney Oldfield Speedway is one of the opening year attractions.

I seem to be the only one who loves Grizzly.

Here are 3 photos from Woodstock Express to wrap this up.

Magic Mountain

I went to Magic Mountain recently. It ranks as one of my favorite Six Flags parks. Our first ride was the Log Jammer. It's in the background of this photo.

I'll never outgrow riding Thomas the Tank Engine.

I also went on Scream. It's built on a parking lot.

Terminator Salvation ranks as my favorite wooden coaster ever! My Mom's in this photo.

We went through Gotham City Park as well and rode Batman's crime fighting device to defeat the Joker.

Another water ride is Jet Stream.

Revolution was honored by the ACE.

I also went inside Superman's Fortress of Solitude with my brother David who goes to UCLA.

That blue winged cone contains an evil device made by the Riddler!

 It's hard to read the whole sign, eh?

We'll return to Great America in a couple of weeks.

Gilroy Gardens

On May 30 we went to Gilroy Gardens. It was their 10th birthday!

South County Backroads is a wonderfully themed car ride. We went on the 1920's track.

Quicksilver Express is the most intense ride at the park.

This is the other coaster, Timber Twister. I rode with father.

We took the Train at Coyote Junction for a round trip.

I rode this but you can't see me. I was in the 2nd car.

I know my grandparents will love it.

On April 3rd we got our gold pass to California’s Great America. I will record my theme park experiences over the year. I will also put pictures too.

Anyway, I was surprised with how well Planet Snoopy was themed. My mom is sick of Spongebob 3D but we rode it anyway. I wish they had a Boo Blasters on Boo Hill. Why didn’t Great America build it? Email me if you have a guess.

Anyway on to the pictures:

Snoopy Has Come

(He has come indeed! Alleluia!)

                                                  I never outgrow the Woodstock Express

I rode Loggers Run alone as my parents weren’t in the mood to get drenched.

Flight Deck

The Grizzly

The Demon

Guess which of these 3 I enjoy the most?

The burgers at Joe Cool Café could be named “Lucy’s Crabbie Patties”.
