  1. Ok. On behalf of all the teachers that will now not have to deal with you as a parent, thank you.

  2. OMFG stop lecturing me. No one said shit about anyone's rights being impeded upon. Take your teacher hat off. You're not going to "save" me from my right to make cautious judgements about certain behavior. You and I do not, nor likely will not, ever see eye to eye. But, that's not good enough for you, which says something about you as well. I don't share all of your values. I'm entitled to that. We're probably both good contributing people who go about life in completely different ways based on the experiences and exposure we have had in our lives. The majority of the world outgrows riding children's rides and shopping carts at some point in time. People outgrew Legos, Ninja Turtles, and Flintstone vitamins. It's not about caring what other people think... It's about your interests following the natural progression of maturing past our childhood desires. It's why you're getting weird looks. If you think this isn't what the majority of parents are thinking then you can't read the room. I'll address the naps, only because you're hyper focused on that topic. Swing shifts, getting up at 5-6am to exercise before parks during trips, and diagnosed legit problems as a result of the former are why I benefit from a ten minute nap. Try alternating between 6a-6p and 6p-6a shifts sometimes multiple times within a few weeks while still having self discipline to wake up early and workout. I haven't had a consistent 9-5 in 13 years, and it slowly exhausts you over time. I hope that explanation is sufficient enough for you.

  3. I was at Knoebel's a little over a month ago on Friday, August 2nd. It was a surprise stop that we didn't tell my son and his friend about before their day at Hershey the next day for my son's 14th birthday. Despite noticing the signs and knowing we must have been close to the park, they didn't put two and two together until we pulled into to park which was pretty funny. I won't do a full trip report like I have been because I didn't do much. I got the two credits I didn't get on our first visit due to covid closures in Flying Turns and Black Diamond. I also got a couple rides on Phoenix, but otherwise we were only there a few hours in the on and off rain and I wandered around seeing the sights with my pregnant wife. We wanted to do the gondola, but it understandably never opened due to the weather. We found a museum, got some reasonably priced food and later a milkshake to split, did some shopping, and watched an abbreviated kids' costume show that was adorable before a downpour abruptly ended it. As for the coasters, the two new ones both exceeded my expectations. Flying Turns isn't super thrilling or anything, but a couple moments of banking high on those walls are pretty wild in a unique way. I think this is my favorite of the bobsled style coasters I have done now. Black Diamond is dated and campy as hell, but I love that and a few of the effects like the spinning tunnel really still worked on me despite their age. It is also barely a coaster. My (first trimester) pregnant wife could have easily ridden it safely, but she didn't want to when I mentioned it. I also didn't realize until I was boarding that I didn't even know what the ride was in there and I am glad that was the case. As for Phoenix, it wasn't running as insanely as it was on our first visit which was a hot, hot summer day versus this cooler, rainy one. I still loved it. I just laugh hysterically the entire ride on that thing. What a classic. I had enough tickets for three rides, catching two in the magic third row and one in the front. All were great. I am at 273 credits and still have Phoenix in my top ten favorites.
