NEW: A fun little quick-read today, covering nine coasters that are billed as the "sequels" to classic rides of yesteryear. The list culminates in the return of Busch Gardens' legendary Big Bad Wolf... well, kinda. Let me know if you think of others! parklore.com/vault/sequel...
ROLLER COASTER II: THE SEQUEL – 6 Modern Thrill Rides that Serve as "Sequels" to Classic Coasters - Park Lore
These "sequel coasters" trade big on nostalgia and iconic predecessors to remake or reference favorite rides from the past.

A #KingsIsland history lesson.

(Pic1: The Bat next to Banshee)
This is the current coaster called The Bat. Its first name: Top Gun, Flight Deck, then The Bat.
(Pic2: The original Bat where Vortex used to be .) It was demolished in 1985 not relocated.

Three years ago I visited Kings Dominion for the first time and nailed my Eiffel Tower pics. The first one is my phone's wallpaper all year round, and I'm a Christmas belongs in December kind of girl. So proud of these.

Lights are split at this angle framing it like a curtain. Bottom has evergreen trees and bushes with white Christmas lights. Sky in background is pitch black. Tree that has lost it's leaves has large Christmas bulbs hanging from above. Bulbs are white, red, blue, and yellow. Background is blue string lights hung vertically to make a Christmas tree shape out of the Eiffel tower. Lowest part of frame has bushes with out of focus multi-color small lights in green, purple, and pink. Center in background is Eiffel Tower with strings of lights hanging from it vertically to make a Christmas tree shape. Top left side and right side have leafy trees with large primary colored bulb lights. Bottom left side has tree with small multi-color string lights hung horizontally.

I have very vivid memories of this system from when I visited Epcot back the late 80s/early 90s. youtu.be/vm71LBGSUu0?.... Crazy to think how much of this we take for granted nowadays.

PSA: Avalanche's superb and severely underrated Mad Max video game currently has a 90% discount on Steam. It's got deliciously weighty melee combat, deeply compelling car customisation, and a bleakly beautiful post-apocalyptic open world worthy of the movies. Witness it.
A screenshot from Mad Max showing Max driving the iconic V8 Interceptor, unlocked after finishing the game. Max finds a broken suspension bridge in a desert that was once an ocean. Max approaches the burning stacks of Gas Town in his car at night.

Did you know Hanna Barbera had a Disney-esque theme park in Virginia called Kings Dominion?
Souvenir Kings Dominion map with branded appearances from Scooby Doo and dancing bears. From 1975 and boy-howdy does it look like it.

Universal Japan revealed their entrance in Super Nintendo World for the Donkey Kong Country expansion. I love how SNW includes different themed areas. While this is the last area for japans, rumor is Orlando’s SNW which opens in 2025 has an expansion plot for Luigi’s Mansion to be built one day

The famous Disney Turkey legs debuted in 1989 in WDW's Frontierland. The smoked legs became so popular that they are now a staple at Disney parks worldwide and Disney sells around 2 million of them each year.
