Zach's Theme Park Blog 6-10-2010
Hello and welcome to Zach’s Theme Park Blog. I’m cracking a celebratory PBR for the Blackhawks.
California’s Great America (Santa Clara, CA) looks like it’s getting fucked. So I hope it lubed up. Story here
Free Style Music Park (Myrtle Beach, SC) like many others in South Carolina, has bill collectors on their ass. Story here
Disney’s California Adventure (Anaheim, CA) is hoping their new “World of Color” show will help fix the theme park. Spoiler Alert: Not a fucking chance. Story here
Luna Park (Brooklyn, NY) has opened to spectacular fanfare. But that doesn’t change the fact that it’s ghetto. Story here
Islands of Adventure (Orlando, FL) aired a 22 minute commercial for their new “Wizarding World of Harry Potter” which is now available for viewing online. I suppose they didn’t realize that mass advertisements for an attraction they are having serious issues getting to operate correctly and reliably, wouldn’t exactly help them for the time being. Story here
Kings Dominion (Doswell, VA) was visited by the European Coaster Club. I’m sure a much better time was had by everyone than other club events. Story here
Alabama Adventure (Bessemer, AL) has a special offer for father’s day for a carload up to 6 people getting admission for $50. Only at red neck parks will you ever find admission by the carload.* Story here
Beijing Amusement Park (Beijing, CH) has closed. There’s a quote from a worker of the park saying “I just don’t know why they’ve closed the park.” Apparently the park owners told nobody they didn’t sign a lease on the land, except for the news reporters. Story here
Here’s the G.A.P. crew visiting Tokyo Disneyland.
That’s all for today, thanks for reading Zach’s Theme Park Blog.
*I got into Santa’s Village (Dundee, IL) on their closing day with a carload admission.

Kentucky Kingdom (Louisville, KY) has had a new owner approved. But without Chang who really cares? Story here
Universal Studios Hollywood (Hollywood, CA) has reopened their back lot and accompanying tour after a fire in 2008. I’m currently taking bets on how long till an earthquake damages the famed back lot. Story here
Luna Park (Brooklyn, NY) has opened. Am I the only one curious about how many gang fights occurred during the grand opening? Story here
Six Flags Magic Mountain (Valencia, CA) has delayed the opening of their newly relocated Mr. Six Dance Coaster until 2011. Credit whore who didn’t get to Six Flags New Orleans in time to ride the kiddie coaster have been advised to try and get laid while holding out for it. Story here
Six Flags Great America (Gurnee, IL) is set to open the classic Kiddieland “Little Dipper” this weekend. I’m sorry to have to say this, but if you think that this is awesome. Than you are a nerd (myself included.) Story here
Bell’s Amusement Park (Tulsa, OK) has reached resistance in moving to a new location as the town does not want to help fund the park’s relocation through taxes. The quote from the man leading the movement against the tax described the area as “conservative.” Just saying. Story here
Chang has been confirmed for Six Flags Great America in 2011 as seen in this video
