Top Year-Round Open Amuement Parks

For some of us in the Northern part of the United States, we don't have the opportunity to attend amusement parks that are open all year round. At best we have April to October to experience the thrills. For people in the South, they have a chance to enjoy these thrills all year round. Here is the list of the top year-round open amusement parks.

Walt Disney World- Located in Orlando, Florida, Walt-Disney World is one of the most well known amusement parks in the World.

Six Flags Magic Mountain- This amusement park is located in beautiful Los Angelas, California and boasts fourteen roller coasters.


Knott's Berry Farm- Known as "California's Best Theme Park", Knott's Berry Farm is located in Buena Park, California. This park is owned by Cedar Fair Company so you know its going to be great.

Six Flags Over Texas- Located in Arlington, Texas, Six Flags Over Texas brings your love of Texas and mixes it with exciting thrills.

LegoLand California- Attention Lego lovers: here is your chance to experience your childhood while feeling like your living in a World of Lego's.

Universal Studios Orlando- Named the "Best Theme Park" by Trip Advisor. This theme park goes above and beyond to bring you the best themed experience you can have. The Harry Potter World is a must visit part of the park.

Make one of these theme parks your winter getaway and feel the warm breeze through your hair as you riding down those tracks at 60 mph. Embrace the winter months!

Six Flags Black Friday Deals

                Black Friday is known as the best shopping day of the year. The reason it is known as the best is because of the great deals and the amount of them available. Loads of businesses Worldwide participate in Black Friday festivities. These businesses include amusement parks! Many amusement parks will be having great sales on season passes for the 2016 operating season.

The best amusement park deals I found were at Six Flags.  Six Flags is having a Black Friday/Cyber Monday deal that includes the following:

1.       Save up to 64% off the summer price

2.       Pay nothing until March 2016

3.       Exclusive Perks

4.       Free upgrade to Gold level

5.       Free parking until the end of 2016

6.       Never offer a better deal!

To get a season pass, you can get it for $51.99 or $5.17/month. The original summer price is $144.99 or $12.08/month. That is huge savings!! Make sure to visit sixflags.com and purchase your 2016 season pass so you can visit endless times in 2016. In two visits to Six Flags, you will already have gotten your money’s worth so make the most visits you can. The pass is also available

Cedar Point and Disney have yet to release their Black Friday ads. Cedar Point traditionally has had a good deal on payment plans for their season passes. For sure the Disney store will have Black Friday deals but I am still unsure if they will have park discounts this year.

Have a good Thanksgiving and Black Friday!

"X-Flight" The Dissapointment

                Today’s blog post will be reviewing one of Six Flag’s newer roller coasters, X-Flight. X-flight official took off on May 16, 2012. During that time it was the second wing coaster to be built in the United States and only the fourth in the World! It was also the FIRST wing coaster to be announced throughout the entire North America.

                X-Flight travels up to 120 feet and reaches speeds of 55mph with a total length of 3,000 feet. Those stats right there are pretty much the reason why I am not a fan of this ride. First off the height of the coaster is nothing spectacular. I like tall roller coasters and this is far from one. I might as well go to the Ferris wheel.  Secondly, the speed of the coaster is nothing amazing. 55 mph is an average roller coaster speed. I like something with an awesome speed.

                As for the wing coaster in general,  wing coasters are interesting roller coasters and can be somewhat fun. The problem with these types of coasters is that the way they are built restricts them from going too fast and high. The experience of you being hanging away from the tracks is pretty much the same simulated feel of a typically feet dangling coaster.

                In conclusion, I would recommend this ride depending on its wait time. If it’s a long wait, go to something better like Raging Bull. If it’s a short line, you might as well hop on just to say you rode X-Flight.
