Hey everyone! As part of a Haunt Enthusiasts event hosted by Knott's Berry Farm yesterday, I got to have a very interesting experience of being dressed up as a haunt monster for the evening! First off, of all the crazy theme park "being an employee for a day" stunts I've been allowed to...

Thank you! That was probably the toughest part to get just right. I think I shot about 10 takes trying to get the trains to match up, the water bomb to be timed just right, etc. That section of the video is actually my favorite part as well. Really shows off how nuts that part of the...

Thank you! Yeah, this Europe Trip was meant to highlight the "most recent" big coasters in Europe - Mammut, iSpeed, Blue Fire, Black Mamba, and Joris en de Dragon. Of course Olympia Looping was a nice bonus! But anyway, I totally thought Joris really delivered, especially for it's size...

We have just posted our video that we shot for Efteling during our Club TPR event on 4 July. This video features mounted camera POVs of both tracks - Water and Fire - as well as onride racing shots, offride shots and even a camera mounted reverse POV. Enjoy...

Yes, it appears that I was wrong about the order...thank you for correcting me. Silly me, and it's even in the program guide they handed out for the event. I really should have paid more attention when I was writing that report at 3am. My bad. Again, thanks for the correction. --Robb

The park put on a VERY nice event and I'm sure the show will do extemely well for them.

If you guys don't mind, I'll post it here so it's easier to view... Just got back from the World of Color media event. It's late so my words will be short. All I can say is this - the photos and video (complete video of the show, BTW) below are a VERY GOOD "teaser" and representation of...

I haven't heard about anything big in the near future. If I would have to guess I would say we probably won't see a major attraction installed until at least 2011 or 2012. The park has a very interesting story in that when Disneyland does well, Knott's does well. Many times we'll see...

I grew up with the park (used to live on Beach Blvd) and it's certainly a shadow of it's former self. There is one thing I took away from the presentation, though, that I'm not sure if anyone else did that I found VERY interesting... When Cedar Fair bought the park they installed quite a...

He broke the rules of the park and our event. We simply will not tolerate that. End of story. --Robb Thats all that needs to be told. -Snoo

You forgot to mention that you're only upset with Robb & his sheep because you broke the rules of the event you attended and the park you visited, got caught, banned from doing any more trips or events because of it and refused to take personal responsibility for your own actions. I think...

After Farup Sommerland we made a quick (but fun) stop to Tivoli Friheden. - Cobra was running! - It was quite "bizarre" - SCAD Tower here! - We had many SCAD Tower virgins in our group. - Good dark ride! - Park treated us very well and we had a great time! Oh goody! The park...

Next was Farup Sommerland. - This is still one of my favorite parks in the region. - It poured down rain for the first half of the day, but the park still manags to be AWESOME! - The obstacle course was still kick A$$. - Many people did the monkey bars (SUCK IT JOEY!!!) - Lynet is a...

Today we hit two parks - Sommerland Syd and Legoland. Sommerland Syd isn't a very big park, but it seems like a nice place for locals to spend an afternoon. It's mostly a water park with a few rides. Seems like a perfect place for a school outing, etc. They are also home to the world's...
