USA Roller Coaster Road Trip Day 1: UK to Six Flags New England via Boston Logan
Back in May/June 2024 I spent 14 days driving around the USA visiting amusement parks each day and riding 120 roller coasters! Our route took us from Boston airport in a loop, up through New York State to the shores of the Great Lakes, west to Wisconsin and back down through Indiana, Ohio, Pensilvania and back to Boston to complete the loop
In this video which covers Day 1 of the trip, I cover the following points to help inspire your own road trip adventures with handy hints and tips.
* Booking a Fly Drive package with Virgin Holidays - how the included elements, added comfort to the trip and saved money.
* The flight from London Heathrow to Boston Logan with Delta.
* Picking up a car rental at Boston Logan with Hertz.
* The ins and outs of a toll road transponder tag, by an inclusive PlatePass service made sense for our trip.
* An evening at Six Flags New England
* Checking in to the Days Inn Queensbury/Lake George with an honest review.
I hope you enjoyed the video and found helpful.

    Visited first time moie than forty years ago. The place still looks the same (despite a lot of changes being made), sounds the same and smells the same. I love how they have managed to keep Tivoli´s special atmosphere alive over the decades. PS. They have fireworks late Saturday nights, and it´s pretty big.

    • @OutAndBackTravel
      @OutAndBackTravel 7 днів тому

      Hi Carmel Just to be aware that the power supply is 110-120v not 240v at home in Ireland. So it could be worth buying a cheap American kettle in Walmart. There’s Cabana Bay friends/fans Facebook groups where people leave toasters/kettles after they check out (even saw a rice cooker once!) With the coffee maker in the room, it has a tray for a coffee bag to go inside, much like a tea bag so you can use the coffee maker to make tea no problems / or could run the machine for hot water with bag in cup, there’s options!

    In today's market of hybrids with inversions, I feel this is the perfect form for true woodies nowadays. Small, with airtime and presumably quite easy to maintain. It's also funny how often 55ft/17m seems to be the right height for a compact coaster, whether wood or steel.

      It was very easy we booked direct through the Avis website - you can select Cabana Bay as a pick up location. A lot of the pre registration paperwork was done online so really quick pick up. We got a convertible and drove to Busch Gardens for the day, which was very fun! The cars are in the parking garage at the rear of the hotel - for the one day hire we didn’t have to pay for overnight parking at Cabana Bay (but you do for longer rentals) One disappointing issue, we returned the car early so the next day at 1minute before our rental was officially supposed to end - the next customer took the car through a toll road without paying so I got the fine - $10 so not major but annoying and Avis have been very unhelpful in resolving

    If you have the time it certainely nice enough its just that there are so many better parks around there. The SLC is ok in my opinion Bandit is horrible though. Van Helsing, Studio coaster and star trek are certainely nice enough and yes the water rides are pretty good. Overall if you have the time its nice enough but together with Bobbyjaanland its the first of the "major" theme parks to skipp if you are in the earia if you are on a time constraine and if your not have fun i ussualy go once a year because i have a free ticket on me efteling pass and try to do it on a reaosnable quite day.

      @@OutAndBackTravel They ussualy have Moviepark, Europa park, tripsdrill, lyseberg, farup, blackpool, portavontura and isla magica as 1 day for free. + discounts for lots of other parks. Only for europapark you need to get a speciale voucher at the park. The rest you just can walk up to parks with only your annuale pass.

    This is a really helpful video. We are planning our first ever Orlando trip and we are thinking of 11 nights at Cabana Bay next August. Can I ask the way way to get some groceries for your room? Did you Uber to a supermarket? Is this easy? Thank you

      Hi Kate, thank-you I'm glad the video was helpful, On this occasion, we drove to Walmart as we had a hire car to go to Busch Gardens for the day so nipped into Walmart on the way home! We have previously got an Uber/Lyft to Walmart and its worked well. You can order groceries online through apps like Instacart Amazon Prime Ubereats Grubhub As a general rule, they will deliver to hotel lobby, but you have to be there to collect them. Universal won't accept delivery on your behalf. So Amazon is a good way to get around this as they have real time delivery tracking Hope this helps

      @@OutAndBackTravel Thanks for your kind words. We’ve never done Disney either. But they chose Universal due to Harry Potter obsession. I will just feel better once through the airport. Since one has driving permit. But one is 14 with no ID. So hope it is all good. Thx again

    Its a fun park to go to the queues can get long but its well layed out to avoid so much walking , if go on Bandit sit in the middle rows the front and back are rough . Also Iron Claw is head banging as for the other rides they are really good

      Thanks for the tips for Bandit Whoknew2273 even though it had a shake, it was actually quite funny we couldn’t stop laughing! Although it gave one of our group chest pains 😕 Movie Park does have a good layout, guess it was built well to be Warner Bros originally.

    Sapphire Falls has a boat that will take you to the parks. We didn't know about this the first time we stayed but we took it the second time and it's definitely the way to go.

      Thanks outstate9218 I did sneakily recommend this in my Aventura video! Bit it’s sneaky as it’s supposed to be just for guests of Sapphire Falls .. however from our own experience of staying in Aventura / Cabana the universal staff are always friendly and let us stow away 😃🫡
