When you think of Kings Island, you think of the many roller coasters they have. 14 to be exact. Well, we talk about 2 of them. Believe it or not, roller coasters do not translate well in podcast form. But I highly recommend watching a video about the coasters at this park. What is fun to talk about is carousels. And Tomb Raider: The Ride.

So join us this week to hear about dark rides and blue ice cream. Or is it Smurfs ice cream? I'm still not sure what to call it, but I want to try it. So whether you learned about Kings Island from The Partridge Family or The Brady Bunch, revisit those memories as we take a walk around Kings Island.

Do you remember going to Disneyland when it first opened and wanting to build your own park after your visit? Well so does James Burge and that is exactly what he did. He was fascinated with Frontierland so when he returned to his hometown in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, he lead the Oklahoma Semi-Centennial Exposition which was a fair. After the fair ended, he bought all the props from the Boom Town exhibit and that was the beginning of Frontier City.

This is one of the best themed parks operated by Six Flags but the ride lineup isn't the best. Join us as we discuss equations, shapes, and numbers while also talking about the park. I'm curious, have you been there and made the singing lady's pants fall down on Quick Draw? Let us know!

We decided to go old school this week and visit a park that is about to celebrate its 100th year! Lake Winnie is in Rossville, Georgia. This amusement park sits right next to a lake and uses the water to their advantage by having the oldest operating mill chute ride slide right down into the lake water. Brandon's going to pass on the dirty water ride.

The park also has a Bill Tracy dark ride...kind of. It has seen a few changes but you know what hasn't changed? Their wooden roller coaster, Cannon Ball.

So join us this week if you have the case of the Tuesday's and we'll try to cheer you up!

We're back at Great America! But this week, we are in Gurnee, Illinois, at the more successful Great America park that Marriott built. This park has an impressive 15 coasters which is tied for the forth most coaster in a single park! Unfortunately, we didn't have time to cover all 15 in detail. But we do name them all, so that has to count for something!

If you are still reading this, congratulations. Brandon was in the mood to quote a very old YouTube video throughout the episode so if you are confused by his responses to some of his answers, that is why. Not my chair, not my problem. That's what I always say.
