You know you’ve been to the parks a whole bunch when you actually hope to get stuck on the rides. It’s always neat to be in one area for an extended period of time in hopes to see some details you usually pass right over. I personally have never been evacuated off a ride, but […]
The news broke yesterday that pumpkins have gone up in Central Park at Universal Studios. This is right on track with the last couple year as visible prep work began for Horror Nights when local kids went back to school. I was finally able to make it out today to check it out. Burlap and […]
Magic Kingdom and Beyond You might’ve noticed a slight uptick in photos I’ve been posting from Disney World recently. Truth be to told, I hadn’t had a pass for quite sometime and recently was able to get one. So I’ve been spending more time at the mouse than the globe in recent weeks. Last week […]
We are probably about 6 weeks away from starting to see some HHN prep in guest visible areas at Universal Studios. It’s usually right around mid-August when things will start popping up around the park. This is honestly my favorite time of the year! The hype leading up to HHN is always so exciting to […]

Harry Potter and the awesome cosplay I saw so many amazing cosplayers while at MegaCon on Friday! Being the theme park fan that I am, there was one that stood out more than the others. Complete with working lights and equipped with audio from the ride, The Harry Potter and the Escape from Gringotts ride […]
Manta Soft Opens 9 Years Ago Today Magic City Mayhem was around for almost 2 years when I finally added some videos from SeaWorld. And what better way to welcome it to the channel than a ride opening video! Manta soft opened on May 5th, 2009! Lauren and I also went on their observation tower […]
