Theme Parks

Ever since my last visit to Knott's Berry Farm in 2006 I have wanted to make a return visit. Over the last couple years I have wanted to go to their Coaster Solace event for coaster enthusiasts. Mainly, I have wanted to go so that I can get an early start to my seasonal riding. If you live in Kansas and want to ride coasters December-March you choices boil down to going to California, Florida, or Texas. Unfortunately, flying to Southern California is expensive where I live. It doesn't seem to matter whether I try to fly in to Long Beach, John Wayne, or LAX. Most of the time round trip tickets usually run about $300 a person. However, this year we have this great thing called a recession/depression and Valerie and I were able to fly out to John Wayne for less than $400 round trip. We also already had Cedar Fair Platinum passes so our tickets to the event were only $25 a person.

I just finished adding over 250 files to my Gallery from my trip to Walt Disney World last week. It is a smaller update than I usually have for 4 theme park visits, but since I have visited WDW 3 times in the last 5 years I focused primarily on taking pictures of parts of the parks I didn't have already. I should have the first of 5 trip reports up in a couple of days.
