Wait, when did KI become a family park? CF built Firehawk, Diamondback, & Windseeker which wasn't built for the family audience. I can see KI getting a giga coaster as the parks are 3 1/2 hours apart from eachother and both are in different markets. SFOT & SFFT are about the same distance and I don't see either park affecting eachother (plus both SFOT & SFFT have Iron Horse tracked coasters). Also, CP & KI both got a Windseeker, so a giga coaster could be built at KI.

The Log Ride is already in great shape thanks to Knott's management and with this revitilization, it's really good to see how well Knott's takes care of their log flume. I can't wait to see how it looks when it re-opens. With this and the new Boardwalk, I really like the direction Knott's management is taking.

I too wished that CGA didn't remove all those rides. Also, I would have liked if they kept the old paint scheme on Drop Zone.

I don't think that is really considered downtime since the ride is closed due to the weather not a problem with the ride.

V2 looks like red-orange track & maroon supports to me.

I was at the park today and the Stagecoach did re-open. It was running fine and I didn't see any modifications. Also, I give props to the Montezooma crew for timing the launch to make Jaguar thread the loop while Monte's train is on the loop. I saw it happen a few times today including my ride on Jaguar.

From the IAAPA 2012 video, Mack said Coast Rider will be slightly custom. Though, who knows what will be custom until the coaster is built.

Knott's tomorrow. I'm going to get my Boomerang credit and I am very enthusiastic about it.

I really hope Stagecoach re-opens. I don't want to lose another classic ride.

Gold Striker is much closer to Star Tower than I thought. As usual, the photos of Gold Striker going around Star Tower look surreal.

Robb talking on his POVs is the personality of TPR and I think it should not change. I like the "weeeeeees!" and the talking makes the videos more entertaining to watch.

I got to my maximum photos in a post, so here's Legoland California continued! Let's have fun and be dangerous! Sorry ACErs, you can't ride. I think I'm tall enough. These tea cups are spinning EXTREMELY fast! The coaster of many names. It can be called Project X, Technic Test Track, Project X Technic Test Track, LEGO Project X, LEGO Technic Coaster, LEGO Project X Technic Test Track, LEGO Technic Test Track, Test Track, X-Factor: The Ride, or just Technic Coaster. SFMM fanboys unite! Ooh! A coaster photo! What an EXTREMELY TINY drop. Wild mouse turn!!! NO PHOTOS ALLOWED! Now some Technic Coaster drop reactions. The guy in the front thinks "Ah, what a nice calm view" I swallow flies. OH MY GOODNESS!!!!!!!!!!!!! This is the TPR train. Lift hill through the trees!!!! From their mammoth size, ACErs can carry a lot of cargo. Gimme your children! One angry donkey. I spy a good Vekoma. WOW! Lost Kingdom Adventure is a walk-on. YES! Technic Coaster & Dragon in one photo. OH MY GOSH! I FOUND A HIDDEN MICKEY!!!! I am the knight who slayed the dragon and I'm here to give a victorious speech in front of a large crowd. What a massive crowd! The ACErs must've gone to their buffet. Royal Joust track!!!!!!!! Legoland is very scenic. Plants have taken over the lighthouse!!! This should be a postcard. This is what Las Vegas will look like in 50 years due to the booming economy in Vegas. Einstein has a big nose. Where kids waste their whole day playing video games. What a busy day today! I'm cross-eyed. I would love to sleep in a room with a monkey. And this is the last photo! Comments wanted! Thanks for reading and watching all this madness!

Another trip report on XYZ's Epic Adventures! This is Legoland California except there are no Miniland photos. Why? Well, obviously you can view them on my last trip report above this post. So, here it is: Welcome to Legoland! Kid Power Towers. Way better than Lex Luthor: Drop of Doom. Elephants have built-in squirt guns. Jeff Johnson credit! I'm being super honest here, Coastersaurus in the back seat is a much better drop than Goliath (SFMM). Larry will be happy for the rest of the day because I found him a new sign. However, my favorite attraction at Dino Island is the Litter Box Play Area. You will find a lot of goodies in the sand! Daddy, look at that broken animatronic! Forget about all those stupid rock bands, these rocks make the greatest rock band in the history of rocks! Wally World reference! Why are they called Kid Power Towers? They should be called Adult Power Towers. I wonder why the yellow tower isn't open... HOLY VEKOMA! That wait time is SO long, it makes Radiator Springs Racers opening weekend seem like a walk on. On Forbes.com where they list everything, they listed Fun Town as the "Most Boring City in America". I must read the MPG of this car. Though, it's not Miles per Gallon, it's Blocks per Gallon. It's a bit odd that this sign is pointing east. Kids are amazing drivers. Well, until they crash, go through red lights, go the wrong way, hit other cars, get stuck in the middle of the road, and do illegal u-turns. Such amazing drivers. ROOSTER!!!! I love roosters! Hey kids, I'm a fireman. If you kids misbehave, I'll wet your pants with this firehose. At Adventurers' Club, you try to find keys. Here's a key. Key. Key. Key. Key. HEY!! STOP LOOKING AT KEYS!!! Key. Yay! We found all the keys! Now go buy some useless stuff that will end up in the garbage to increase Legoland's profits! Please do it, I want to see an Intamin giga coaster next year. OH MY GOSH!! It's a LEGO brick! One angry clock. Ooh! Park maps! These need to be put on the map trade pronto! Skipper School traffic jam! Feliz Navidad. Feed me your children! Deformed snowman. HOLY MOUNT BAKER! IT'S ZAMPERLA TRACK! And the coaster enthusiasts go wild! It's a shark! Obviously, it won't eat me. OH NO! I HAVE BEEN EATEN! Even that guy over there looks concerned. Beer and drunk people at a family park! I HATE TREES! Splash Battle was very popular today. OH NO! I'm going to get wet! (Or will I?) This word needs to be censored NOW! There are kids looking at this trip report. That's better. Ah, the beauty. Birds chirping, the leaves ruffling, and people frustrated at mini golf. Such a calm place. ROOOOOOOOAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!! Thank you bear for disturbing the peace! Some owls go on the short bus... Today is the busiest day at Legoland, I mean just look at all those people! Stick through the trees. RODENT! Where's the McDonald's? LEGO water! They need to sell this at Walmart. Ooh! It's a storm drain, I mean a wishing well. Woah! The bear can walk on water. He must be the Jesus of bears. Granny's Overrated Fries. My smell cleared the area. Run people run! Run faster! Prize Every Time. LIARS! Pigbutt. Children, shield your eyes. Pigbutt will come in your nightmares! Yep, this one is bigger than the one at Disneyland. Helix around the trees!!! ACEr #1 ACEr #2 ACEr #3 WHAT A LONG LINE!! KidPower Tower has a 5 minute wait and Dragon has a 10 minute wait, forget about Disneyland, Legoland has the longest lines. R.I.P. Founder of ACE Lift hill enthusiasts! Rejoice! Forget about through the trees. This is through the trees & fence! Oh really. Batman! Walking through the Spellbreaker queue. I heard Spellbreaker has a line that takes FOREVER. OOH! A HUMAN TO EAT! YUM! I'm going to eat you now. You can't ride Knight's Tournament if you have a cell phone in your heart. Spellbreaker footer #1 Spellbreaker footer #2 Spellbreaker footer #3 Where is everyone? I was just looking at Spellbreaker footers and then everyone disappeared... Oh no! I must be the last person on Earth. OH NO! I can't see anyone! I need people!!! Yeah, I'm definitely the last person on Earth. YAY! PEOPLE! And a bird's eye view of Miniland Washington D.C. Ooh! It's the Capitol! Flying into San Francisco. Is it Star Tours Miniland or Star Trek Miniland? King Elvis. ARNOLD! Someone doesn't like Arnold... This is a stupid person. Pavarotti! Best feature of Pavarotti. This guy made music for the deaf. Winston Churchill. Beer, drunk people, pigbutt, and CIGARS all in a family park. Molemaster. Bow down to your king! I'm sure this is Dan friendly.

Probably GhostRider (Knott's Berry Farm) on January 1st.

I have some photos of my recent LEGO creations I built at Legoland California, primarily in the Holiday Village Build in Fun Town: This was the first LEGO model I made in the Holiday Village Build. Obviously, it's a cabin. I had a lot more ambition in my second LEGO model I made in the Holiday Village Build. This is a giant LEGO open air Christmas tree that stands almost 4 feet tall. It dominates all the models. Seriously, it dominates ALL the models. I checked on it today and it still is the tallest of all the Holiday Village Build models. Here is my LEGO snowman. I created it by building 3 LEGO spheres that can roll around. Here is my LEGO present. The lid can be taken off and there is a compartment in there that can store some small LEGO toys. Today, it started raining, so I built my tallest LEGO model of all time. This one was made of DUPLO and is over 4 feet tall. Yes, it is very tall.

I really like this whole trip report. I have to say it was odd looking at the photos of Non-Dueling Dragons. It's really sad that it no longer duels. Anyways, I'm looking forward to your next update.

In my house, I'm hearing the Legoland fireworks.

I just hope the area keeps its shade...I have always been a fan of wooded areas in parks, like the area around Log Jammer, Rapids Camp Crossing, the entire BGW, and the Grizzly Peak area at DCA. THIS. I hope this doesn't look like a big field of concrete like Knott's boardwalk. Though, I'm interested to see how this new themed area will look like. SFMM did a good job on theming for Lex Luthor, Green Lantern/DC Universe, & Apocalypse, so I expect them to do a decent job on the area.

I'm in the group wanting to see another update. I really like how this is turning out.

I'm impressed by this. It seems like you haven't used any custom scenery and if this is true, keep doing it without custom scenery. I really like the atmosphere in this park.

I learned about Twisted Rails a few weeks ago from a link of it that I stumbled upon on TPR. Great website with amazing construction photos of Xcelerator & X2. Anyways, any Gold Striker progress? I haven't heard much recently.
