Awe don't be scared! They really go out of their way to make the experience fun and a spectacle to behold even if you're not into spooky stuff. Depending on your tolerance level you can always skip out on the haunted house at the beginning 😉 Have fun!

You're very welcome! Have a super fun time! 😁

Can totally get behind this! I think the reason they don't pad the seats is because of how quickly they need to be able to set up and break down the whole arena, but bringing your own padding is a great idea haha

We have not! Katie loves a good winery 😁 I (Tim) am not much of a wine drinker, but I’m sure I’d still love to see and experience the property! Thanks for the recommendation! ✨

Not in Water Country USA, I’m afraid! We’ve heard that the Aquatica waterpark (run by the same company) in Orlando may have a shark or two, though. 😁

@@timandkt lm staying well away from sharks, they eat you.

The Kissing Tower is always a go-to for us if the park isn't so busy that the line isn't bursting out the back of the queue. Slow, easy-going and air-conditioned and with such amazing views of the park! 😍 Milton's is definitely our favorite place to grab lunch, but the Chocolatier is typically our favorite place to grab dinner. I'm still so sad that they let you down! Hopefully the next time you visit will bring about a sweeter day at the sweetest place on earth haha thanks so much for watching, guys! ✨

😁😁😁

Good question! We did have a small bag for our camera gear that was deemed OK for the tour, so my assumption is that you’d be fine with a larger one…however, depending on size and contents you may be in a different situation. They do have $5, all-day lockers onsite for anything that isn’t allowed or convenient to bring with you on the tour, not sure of sizing but that may be an additional option as well. You can always give them a call if you’re worried about it! Very responsive team and happy to answer questions that folks may have. ☺️

@@timandkt Thank you for the quick response and thank you for the video!

Hi! ☺️ Thank you so much!

This park is actually located in Williamsburg, VA! ☺️

I’m planning to visit!!

It’s a little rough around the edges even after all that work, but Arrows gonna Arrow 😜 The theming makes it well worth the experience! Hopefully you all will be able to make it to Busch someday, it’s definitely our favorite of the parks closer to us!

You guys know how I feel about water, and I can truly say that I had a blast at Water Country USA…both times, but especially the second time, once we knew what we were doing! 😁 Definitely worth a visit if you do make it up to Busch - they sell packages that include both parks, so there’s really no reason not to hit both! Thanks so much for watching, guys!

Wild Eagle is probably the closest relative to Fenix in terms of make and vibe, but having ridden both I can tell you that (so far) there’s no wing coaster out there quite as scenic and fun as Toverland’s 😍 We’ll have to try X-Flight on for size if we ever get out that way! Many parks and credits still to be claimed and conquered 😁

Perfect way to beat the heat! 😁 Have a blast!!

Glad we weren't the only ones who found Loch Ness to be a bit rough despite the long refurb! The theming makes it well worth the experience, but it's definitely one of those attractions that you have to almost brace for 😂 We've done Verbolten at Sunset as well, but our personal preference is for the night rides! It's much easier to see the dark ride elements in the Black Forest when there's no sunlight filtering in through the cracks in the building, and it genuinely feels like the ride is faster after dark! Thanks so much for watching and sharing your story! ✨

You can, where state liquor law permits! It may vary by pop-up location, but in Maryland, they were selling beer by the bottle from a bucket full of ice in the concessions area. A few vendors walked around the main tent with beer during the intermission, as well. 😁

@@timandkt Thanks for the info, I’ll keep this in mind but ultimately won’t be a major factor in reasons to not go. Getting a drink at a show is definitely a plus once in a while 😁

It's still there, tucked away past Tempesto and the Trade Wind rides in the Festa Italia area! Definitely one of the hardest rides to find organically, we had to look at the map to find it on reopening day last year! 😉

One of the best surprises of the season, imo! 😁

When it comes to rapids rides, we _are_ quite wimpy. 😂 But it mostly comes down to not wanting to walk around all day in wet clothes haha someone _always_ gets soaked on a proper rapids, I’d hate to be the one with all the bad luck and not have been prepared! 😜

@@timandkt Fair enough!

Yeeeesssss Toverland is genuinely on the same level as a Disney park in our minds, albeit a little smaller in terms of the overall footprint. Fēnix, though, is a world-class ride on its own and well worth traveling to experience! One of our favorite coasters for sure! ✨

That means you're pretty close to one of our favorite haunts in the state! 😁 We pulled off there to shoot our intro when we were getting close to Legends of the Fog!

We'll definitely have to check it out! VA Beach is a bit of a hike for us at 5 hours south from our home base, but only an hour further south than Williamsburg is....so there's really no reason we couldn't do a double header someday! Thanks for watching and for the recommendation! 😎

A very fair question - and critique! In general, the problem with US parks and resorts is that the customer experience has gradually diminished in favor of expanded profit margins. This isn't a problem limited to Disney, but it's more noticeable at Disney because things that used to be free are now being monetized and the guests are being directly impacted. We and many other regular attendees continue to go because of nostalgia and because, quite frankly, the US is short on themed parks with captivating and imaginative stories to tell. However, we infinitely prefer the guest experience at places like Efteling, where a more careful balance has been struck between profit and guest satisfaction.

@@timandkt I have to say that the term 'virtual queue' had me baffled for a moment... Hopefully the pendulum will swing the other way soon. On a totally unrelated, Dutch topic: the Euro 2024 football tournament is taking place right now in Germany. If you want to see how the Dutch supporters of our national team are taking over the German cities where they have to play search for 'euro 2024 dutch fans'. We made it to the quarter finals and play against Turkiye this Saturday.

@@timandkt Oops. That message from Test-eo3gc was also from me... Mistakenly sent it from my new test channel. My mistake.

We definitely miss the days of fastpass being a complimentary service, but we're glad to see Genie+ being replaced by a system that allows us to book in advance again - as the old fastpass system once did!

In my (Tim) case, it's not the quality of the water so much as it is the feeling of submerging beneath water of any quality 😂

Good Morning! 😁

Thanks, Jon!

Haha, well, this particular ride POV is from a park in the Netherlands, so you're probably less likely to see us there 😂 But local parks like Hershey and Busch Gardens, we are there pretty regularly!

Lots of airtime on those bunny hills, definitely an attraction for all ages - but the theming really makes this one worth the ride, imo! 😍 Even the back of the rear car has a little vanity plate that says ‘SCRAM’! Haha!

I definitely think you could handle this one, Meg! 😂 It may not be the fastest or the tallest, but it’s got enough kick to be fun for the older crowd, too haha

Pretty stark differences between the two, as it turns out - and we’ve been lucky enough to have ridden both iterations! In many ways, this is our first instance of truly “lived” theme park history 😁 Thanks for watching, you two!

We’ve been lucky stumbling across some really neat attractions over the past couple of years 😁 It’s been a renaissance of roadside weirdness! Otherworld is all kinds of trippy in all the best ways. Apart from the terrifying funeral room, every room is fun and interactive and vibrant and could easily hold your attention for hours haha it’s a really neat way to spend a day in the Philly area - and weather-resistant, too! 😍 Thanks so much for watching, you guys!

The show is definitely geared towards 17+, and the burlesque and comedy acts are definitely a little more 'adult' and risqué. Certainly nothing X-Rated, but well within the 'R' rating range...skimpy outfits, suggestive dancing, sexual humor and the like. I'm sure that you will have a wonderful time, but as far as bringing the teenager along, it's up to you what you think you are comfortable with as parents! 😉

@@timandkt ... we decided to buy tickets for July 12th.. also not to take my son.. thank you for your response..

@@salbec143 Happy to help! Have a great time!! 😁

@timandkt .. went to the show last night, had a great time.. glad we didn't take my son because of the few comedic parts that were not for kids.. definitely different than anything ive seen before.. thank you for your advice..

Thanks for watching, Jon!

I had the same thought! It wasn't until we put them side by side that we noticed how much slower the lift hill was. We're thinking that this is due to the new on-board audio that plays on your way up the hill; you're given an extra few seconds on the hill so that you're able to absorb the whole narrative they've written. 😉 Overall, the theming is definitely an improvement! Our train felt a little rougher on those interlocking loops, but that could yet be a train issue and not a track issue. Only a re-ride can decide! haha thanks for watching!

@@timandkt I TOTALLY FORGOT to mention the on board audio in my first comment, but that was my other major takeaway and one of the coolest parts. I love a good queue/ride audio - it really makes a good coaster GREAT! Adventure express at kings island, big bear mountain at Dollywood - the on board audio makes those ride experiences so good, and it seems the same for Loch Ness Monster now. Demon at our six flags also has the greatest queue music and theme song and audio ever and it makes me happy that it still exists, and even better that they’ve now brought cool audio to and preserved another classic Arrow coaster.

Haha, I know you know all about the atmosphere of a good convention, Hannah! VIP really did save us a ton of time getting in and out of lines. Some celebrities like Chloe Bennett had their lines cut due to overcrowding and scheduling conflicts (panels, photo ops, etc.) and we wouldn't have been able to meet them at all if not for that VIP escort! ✨ It was an expensive way to explore a convention, to be sure, but it was cool to be 'high rollers' for this particular event. Of course, Katie could have gotten her Furiosa makeover with or without the VIP badge - and that was easily the best part of our whole convention experience 😁 Thanks so much for watching! I don't know how we missed this comment, but we are so sorry that we left you hanging out in the void! 😅

Haha, we know how much you love the scary stuff, so we thought we'd bring a little more of it to your doorstep! 😜 We love being able to experience some of our favorite types of events and experiences during the spring and the summer, and Laurel's House of Horror really blew our minds with the surge in production value. Their merch is always top notch, too! We definitely came away with a few things from the shop, including the Bad Witch Vibes cup 😁 Thanks so much for watching!

First thing on our mind from the getgo! 😂

@@timandktI’d like to get my hands on whoever started the coronavirus.

Front row ride definitely set the bar for the attraction, but the back row really does throw you around on those airtime pops! Future POV coming with back row, as well. 😉

It's got a fair amount of kick for the type, placement and audience it's tailored to! Was honestly one of our favorite little family rides so far 😁

There’s a healthy mix of both! We wore nice shirts and fancy dress the first time we attended and t-shirts and ripped jeans the second time we attended and we never felt out of place. 😁 You two are going to have so much fun! Perfect choice for a date night!

If you dress like an empress, you are sure to impress. 😊

Haha, it was an interesting gambit on the part of the haunt! Star Wars fans make up a pretty dedicated base, and the fact that their event fell on international Star Wars day made for a coincidence too perfect to ignore 😁 Thankfully the Dark Side did issue me the "standard uniform" complete with new underwear! Between that and the cookies, easy choice! Thanks so much for watching, Hannah!

We've done a lot of conventions, but rarely if ever have we done a trade show much less a trade show built around haunted attractions and makeup 😍 They really went the extra mile to make this inaugural event one that the East Coast will remember! I know you are not always a big fan of the spooky stuff, Hannah, but I think you might enjoy this event well enough given all of the unique photo ops, set designs, costumes and games - it was effectively Halloween: the Comic Con! 🎃 Thanks so much for watching!

Haha, the great thing about Paranormal Cirque is that while it's definitely a bit spookier than most traveling circuses, it's captivating and awe-inspiring for non-spooky reasons too! We've now seen this show several times and have gotten to know some of the performers in the troupe, and I swear they are some of the most talented people in the world. We kept some of the craziest acts out of the highlight video so that they'd be a surprise to anyone who went, and all I can say is that the spinning wheel makes for a pretty pulse-pounding finale! 🤩 Thanks so much for watching, Hannah!

Aw, that's OK! There's never any hurry to check out our content, we're just thankful that we have so many wonderful people that enjoy watching whenever they can. 😊 This was such a great stay and the view was absolutely incredible. It definitely won't be our last visit to the area, either - coincidentally, Katie's bestie lives in Colorado as well! Many more things to see and do on the next visit haha thanks for watching, Hannah!

You should definitely go! They are always changing, updating and enhancing the show to keep it fresh and fun, but there are some staples that are consistent for every performance. We could go a hundred times and never get tired of it! 😁 Glad we were able to give you that little peek behind the curtain!

@timandkt it definitely sounds like fun. I can't wait for next year. I couldn't go because of a lack of funds, but definitely, I will definitely go next year

It's a great place to spend a Sunday! 😎 Have fun!!

I’m going today!

I think I am too. I’ll see you there.

That truly means the world to us - thank you so much! We definitely remember Sirocco, if that's what you're referring to 😍 one of a few things that we didn't get a chance to ride while we were there, but we loved the soundtrack and the water jets! Sounds like that was a definitely an upgrade haha

@@timandkt Yes. Sirocco. (A wind that brings hot air and sometimes sand from the Sahara desert over to Europe. When it rains down you can find a thin layer of it on your car and stuff.) The ride actually spins deceivingly fast. Don't wear smooth pants...

It sure does! 😂
