We went to the the world famous Coney Island! It took, like, an hour on the subway, but I love the subway, so no problem. Plus, I was super duper crazy excited.
Don’t I look miserable?
I rode The Phoenix!
Daddy had a Nathan’s hot dog for lunch, OF COURSE.
And, of course, the subway back to the hotel.
Video time!
Right after DelGrosso’s, we headed over to Idlewild in Ligonier, PA. They’re both small parks, so we could do them both in one day!
Fun fact: We were actually supposed to go to a 3rd park called Lakemont. But when we went, ALL THREE of their roller coasters were CLOSED.
Oops…Mom caught me with her camera, so I had to run away, as usual.
Here’s my video recap for our short trip there:
We spent the morning at a small park called DelGrosso’s.
This was my favorite ride, a spinning Wild Mouse coaster called Crazy Mouse.
Here’s a little video recap of our time at DelGrosso’s.
Knoebels is a family-owned, almost-100-year-old park, and it was fantastic!
The wooden coaster, Phoenix, was amaaaaazing! There was so much air time, I can’t believe I was even allowed to ride that thing.
Here is a video account of all the rides we did. Important note: I said I liked Twister in the beginning of the video, but by the end of the video, I changed my mind. I DO NOT LIKE TWISTER.
Hersheypark is one of the best amusement parks in America. So, of course, we went! That doesn’t mean I’ll let Mommy take a picture of me in front of the sign, though.
I had to check my height to know which rides I could go on. I’m a Hershey bar!
A really cool thing that happened was that I stood in line with a real roller coaster YouTuber! He was really nice and we talked a lot about roller coasters. It made the line feel really fast. And I got to ride Laff Trakk with him!
This is just a cool funhouse mirror in the queue for Laff Trakk.
We survived Lightning Racer! (FYI, the Thunder side is much better than the Lightning side.)
Also, we stayed at Hotel Hershey and THIS is their pool!
Now, enjoy a vlog that I made at Hershey Park!
I will run away from Mommy taking a picture of me by a park sign every time. Mark my words.
Steel Force! My 40th credit! And my first hyper coaster! That’s over 200 feet, folks!
And here’s Daddy being weird.
Here are a couple of videos that the Legoland Fanboy (that’s me) took at this awesome park!
Right after Sesame Place, we drove to Lancaster, PA to go to Dutch Wonderland. On the way, we even saw Amish people riding their horse-drawn buggies!
At Dutch Wonderland, I got three credits: a great wooden coaster called Kingdom Coaster, an invert called Merlin’s Mayhem, and the kiddie coaster, Joust.
Our big Pennsylvania coaster tour has begun! Here’s a video about our (unfortunately) very brief visit to Sesame Place in Philadelphia.
Kenji and I got bitten by ants. On purpose! Watch us suffer and learn a little bit about ants.
We took Kenji and Sakura to Frog Pond Farm in Wilsonville. It was really fun!
There were a bunch of animals to pet and feed.
Even CAMELS?! By the way, they immediately stole our food cup. Judging from the many food cups on the ground, I think they do that a lot.
Plus, there were games, slides, and even a big maze.
One of our very favorite things, though, was rolling around this huge hamster wheel. Kenji and I know how to have fun!
