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.
