Happy birthday Space Mountain. Finally reading the graphic novel. Haunted Mansion and Figment have the best adaptations. This one is pretty good. Space adventure with time travel.

Happy New Year all! I was so lucky to spend New Year's Eve at Kings Island. My last coaster of the year was Mystic Timbers. I was on the last train of the year for the KI and Miami Railroad (the train).
Roller coaster station for Mystic Timbers decked out for Christmas. Picture is from the back of the train. Station has white lights and garland hung from the ceiling . Front entrance for Kings Island featuring Winterfest sign, blue Christmas lights, and the Eiffel Tower turned into a Christmas tree by stringing blue lights vertically. Train locomotive with wood roller coaster in the background. Night shoot with steam fog in the background. Show stage decked out for Christmas with snow theme. White and blue colors in the decorations. People in front are in shades of red and white. Snoopy dressed as Santa in the front center stage with a large Christmas tree behind. Crowd of people watching in the very bottom of view.

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.

#caturday picts. My sister's cat Charlie hiding by the heat. My cat chilling on our Raging Wolf Bobs bench.

Yes, we have a bench from an actual coaster car in our house. We are nerds.

#cats
Grey cat with white around their nose. Cat is staring at the camera. Sitting in front of heating vents. Most of his body in shadows so stripes can't be made out, but cat body is distinct from wall behind. Grey tabby with white sections of fun on neck and underbelly. Cat is looking off to the side. Sitting on a coaster car bench with seat divider. Misc clothes are around the cat.

Seriously the most perfect coaster.

#VelociCoaster #IslandsofAdventure #RollerCoaster #ThemePark #JurassicPark
Black rolercoaster track wrapping around large jagged rocks. One arch of track is being back lit by the sun directly behind it. That arch has the coaster train diving down with the last car of the train directly in front of the sun. Tall grasses are on the bottom the frame. There's a green lens flare circle in the bottom of the frame with one section of track bending around it.

Happy Thanksgiving all. Here's Good Gravy at Holiday World. The coaster is a fun family boomerang. The theming is Thanksgiving at Grandma's house. The whole experience is so well done. The train is a gravy boat. I love it!

#RollerCoaster #GoodGravy #HolidayWorld #Thanksgiving #ThemePark
Red and orange roller coaster track rising up and ending in a spike. Train is reaching about 2/3 the way up. Front car looks like a gravy boat. Against blue sky with a couple large, fluffy white clouds. Tree tops and a lamp line bottom of picture. Station shot of roller coaster car shot from behind. Car looks like a gravy boat. Front has a spout and gravy in it. Back has motifs that look like vintage serving set. Images on back include wheat, corn, and pumpkins. Image from queue of ride. Desk with a lamp, troll doll, crayon box, a few loose brown crayons, and a few Highlights magazine. Has a 1970s décor. Crayon box reads "Gravy Shades" with various shades of brown crayons. Troll doll is wearing a fringe dress that looks like Troll hair except pointed down. View of 1970s style kitchen behind queue railings. Focus is on a gravy boat on the kitchen table in the foreground. Table has wooden salt and pepper shakers and mixing bowls. Increasingly out of focus are a kitchen island, counters, stove, and sink. Various cooking implements make it look like someone is in the middle of cooking.

Post a #Superman

My favorite Superman coaster is New England's, but honestly my photos weren't great. So I present #SupermanUltimateFlight at #SixFlagsDiscoveryKingdom. This Sky Rocket 2 is my fave ride in that park. It's fun, twisty, and has so much hangtime.

#RollerCoaster #ThemePark
Roller coaster station as a blurred train departs. Back wall features a comic book version of Superman flying over a city. Superman is flying in the same direction as the train. The part of the tunnel the train departs in is visible. The tunnel is the diamond shape of Superman logo. Red roller coaster track in a twisty vertical loop. On the supports is the Superman logo S. Sunset photo with sunlight making some the coaster golden. Buildings at bottom of the picture. Red roller coaster train on yellow and red track. The coaster is twisting as it comes out of an inversion so that the 2 cars of the train aren't on the same axis. Sunset photo adding golden highlights. Front of train has the Superman S, where the shape is distinct but S is faded to the point of being barely visible. Red, yellow, and blue color scheme on both the roller coaster train and supports. The train is passing through the supports so the coaster itself is framing the photo. Rider in the second row has their hands up. Another sunset photo adding highlights.
