… Yeah wouldn’t advise this route 😝 probably should have continued north to Nickelodeon Universe and Valleyfair (if we had more days) Mt Olympus is the furthest North and West we are heading, we had 2 nights at SFGAm hotel booked to give flex of just doing 2 days at Six Flags if we weren’t feeling the drive up to Mt O, If we had been quicker at Mt Olympus and traffic kinder, we could have got back to SFGAm for last few hours of day - decided to have leisurely time / have a nice evening meal out and pool time instead. The next part of the trip we are heading south, so from Great America we will go down through Indiana .. probably should have put this in the video I guess 🤷‍♂️

Ahhh got ya! I guess Mt Olympus is worth the drive! Look forward to seeing how you got on at SFGAm in the next video :p

Due to it's popularity Phantasialand is kind of busy all year around, pack the patience pants for queues and you should be able to do most of the park without the need to buy the fast pass, so its not essential. However if you can afford it, it can take the edge off things. One day isn't enough for Phantasialand and you'll definately get the bug to return! So I'm sure you'll be back sooner than you're expecting haha

Going on Sunday and this comment had me dreading it 😅

@@LaneyBoggs94 Sorry but just trying to warn people, recommend trying to swop to the Alton towers hotel in a moon room as it isn’t much more and we swopped to that (Air con too)for 2nd night and it was much much better!!..(only £25 upgrade charge & I jumped at it)… Edit: So how did you get on?, hope you got on better than we did 😊👍

Thanks for sharing your experience, that's a great price on the upgrade too! Def recommend Arctic Explorer / Moon voyagers for the Air Con in the summer as Splash Landings is like a sauna

I would always choose holiday world, Important to remember Holiday World is in the Central Time Zone and Kentucky Kingdom is in Eastern Time Zone so you have to add an extra hour to go from KK to HW and subtract the other way around! (…My brain hurts!) Kentucky Kingdom in the past used to do ride rotations / things opening later in the day, might be worth checking they aren’t scheduled for say storm chaser to open after 1pm etc. on day you’re visiting But in theory to just do the creds it’s possible - to experience both parks properly I’d say you’d need a whole day. The water slides at Holiday World are incredible too, probably more airtime than the woodies! Good luck, let me know what you decide keep me updated with your trip, hope you have an incredible time

Thanks for the comment, it was a shame but expected that TT2 would be down for our visit, hoping they get her up and running reliably for next season. I’ll be back to Ohio ..just epic universe will be taking all my money and vacation time for the foreseeable!

I just can’t resist Timbers, Untamed, Gwazi, Wildcat … I love them all 😍

Thanks Jack, always appreciate the support ☺️ It def helps the American cred run when parks are open late and have the evening pass. Hersheypark allows all tickets 2 hours free the night before your visit - so you get a little preview/head start on the following day, always loved that idea.

Didn’t know that about Hersheypark! Good to know if I ever get to visit in the future :p

Have fun, hope you enjoy it! I'm glad you found this video helpful thanks ☺️

It is incredible in the back row, for such a short train it gives incredible rides.

Thanks Graeme it’s a cracking ride, a little on the intense side to re-ride. It really does use the terrain well

I’d personally take the bus, as a day in the parks are exhausting enough! But it’s nice to have the option to take the garden walk. The garden walk will safely cross over the road (Adventure Blvd) and from there you can access Sapphire Falls hotel which has water taxis to city walk too. Both the busses and water taxis are accessible for EVC Scooters. The suites have much more space than a standard room so there will be more room to park and charge your scooter. You can’t ask a British guy about iced tea come on! You know I only drink my tea hot haha! 🤣 The resort refill mug has Fuze iced teas on the coke freestyle machines in the bay liner diner. I believe there’s some kind of iced tea dispenser next to the coffee and hot chocolate ones too .. but I’m really not qualified in this area haha! Hope you have an amazing trip

@@OutAndBackTravel Thank you so much! Hoping to watch more videos! Love your response!

Great to hear, have you thought about trying a Moon Voyager room? they are the same price and offer a bit more privacy for three people?

@OutAndBackTravel just seen a video. It does look a nice room and like you said a bit more privacy. I'll show my friends and see what they think. Thanks for the suggestion 👍

@@_leon_7339 No worries, hope you have a great trip! Let me know how get on and which room type you go for

oh no Aaron that's bad luck, though can't ever recall a smoke machine either. I also hope that the lake water didn't cause those much infection!

@@OutAndBackTravel there’s always been one in there, I’ve just never seen it used. Weird.

They aren't doing too bad with Outlaw 160ft up in the air! Hopefully you'll get some more custom/bespoke attractions like Bobcat and less Boomerang/Demon in the future 😄 It's a great local park, I didn't expect to find it so charming.

Dark Knight is still running well (Day 14 spoilers!) its a "shockwave" sized coaster that (just under) 120ft scale perfectly adequate for pulling off some "big" manoeuvres. It would have been interesting to see if the layout would have been cloned to other parks, if Six Flags hadn't gone bankrupt at the time.

Thanks Graeme, I appreciate the support as always! Wildcat & Comet are great, they could do with a Vekoma Space Warp scale looping coaster to replace Steamin' Demon and possibly a family boomerang .. and maybe an STC / Family Invert .. okay the whole vekoma catalogue 😂

It's night and day riding between the two track styles, I kind of hope they don't carry on the re-tracking as it makes the experience hilarious going between the two styles! Thankfully there are no jolts to riders in the transitions, as the criticism from some of the partial re-tracks that have happened elsewhere

Yeah it really has seen price increases in the years since I made this video, however at 199,00 zł for a standard 1 day ticket (£40 / €45) its comparatively priced against other European theme parks .. and they do have a LOT of rides.

Yes we had to show our annual pass as we booked a “Merlin holiday club” rate - so guess the staff checked our identity that way - even though they are self service check in kiosks there are staff on hand to assist with the process (and check IDs etc)

Hope you enjoy it!

Thanks You have to buy the speedy pass per person, however it is managed by one lead on your group - so the leader will select the speedy pass ride for the entire group Hope that makes more sense?!

@@OutAndBackTravel Thanks!

Hello yes, you get one “log in” for the speedy pass so as long as your dad doesn’t mind sharing his log in details, you can log into that pass on multiple devices - but you’ll only be able to make one reservation at a time for the group. This is exactly how we used Speedy Pass, I bought the speedy pass using my email but we logged in on my partners phone so I could keep my phone for filming! Hope that helps

​@@OutAndBackTravelWhen you buy it you get login details,and then you need to use them on the speedypass site to login right? It is not person bounded?

Yes you can log in on any device, it’s just bound to the lead bookers log in details for their speedy pass account

Thank-you Peter, that's incredible to hear. Tivoli really is a special place.

Thank-you that's really interesting. Does it come from it being the void / hole inside the mountain? The English Tivoli website / guides translate it to "Fun House" for us!

Thanks Mart, we need to do Texas/up the middle ticked off

@@OutAndBackTravel yes get it priced up let’s go !!

Awesome news thanks for the heads up

Hi Carmel Just to be aware that the power supply is 110-120v not 240v at home in Ireland. So it could be worth buying a cheap American kettle in Walmart. There’s Cabana Bay friends/fans Facebook groups where people leave toasters/kettles after they check out (even saw a rice cooker once!) With the coffee maker in the room, it has a tray for a coffee bag to go inside, much like a tea bag so you can use the coffee maker to make tea no problems / or could run the machine for hot water with bag in cup, there’s options!

Hi Mike, Both options have their small differences, all in all they are the same room. Interior Inside hotel corridor to get to room Window in bedroom Exterior Outside walkway to get to room Window in living area Depends what your family needs?! Whichever you choose Cabana Bay is a great place to stay - let me know what you go for!

@@OutAndBackTravel I appreciate your explanation and quick response! I will keep you posted! I enjoy your Channel! Yes!…I subscribed 👍🏻 Thank you!

The hash browns were worth it

The narration is recorded later not in the hotel room. Thanks for the feedback I’ve been trying different microphones and software to improve the audio quality, this is all out of pocket so thanks for bearing with me, hope you at least found the video helpful even if you have to mute my awful voice

Thanks Jack, I appreciate the support ☺️ Yeah its taken a *few years to get to Movie Park but so glad I did, its a fab park with a lot of charm and interesting rides ... Phantasialand is a tough shadow to live in though :)

Thanks Lilpoohbear653 This video is from 2 years ago, so needs an update (I'm in the UK, so its a bit of a distance to get to Holiday World, sadly!) I've never rented a Cabana myself always found plenty of seating/loungers available at Splashin' Safari, and spend most of my time on the slides, so can't really make any recommendations, you can find all the info on the official Holiday World website holidayworld.com/park-info/in-park-rentals/ Hope that helps

Thanks hope you enjoy Disneyland Paris let me know where you end up staying

@@OutAndBackTravel I will.

Thanks Graeme Completely agree just good simple fun, simplest ideas are always the best Would love to see one at Great Yarmouth

Thanks WhoKnew always appreciate your support on the videos, it’s a cracking little ride

Thanks whoknew it’s a very pretty park

Haha thanks Nessie 😂 a second mortgage and consider which non vital organs you could sell on the black market! Winter at Tivoli is proper Christmas magic vibes though

Aww thank-you, hope you have a great trip

Thanks glad you enjoyed the video, hope you have an amazing stay

Thanks glad to hear you enjoy DLP good tip to go to Peter Pan early

Respectable ride count especially for your late arrival! Imagine front row at night is immense. Also looking forward to lapping it weekdays out of season! Where’s it rank in your Top 100?

Im sure Merlin & Mack are working to get it back up and running soon, just a week or so to go … Hyperia withdrawal is real.

Interesting. We’ve always found it easier not to use cash thanks to Monzo / Revolut

It was very easy we booked direct through the Avis website - you can select Cabana Bay as a pick up location. A lot of the pre registration paperwork was done online so really quick pick up. We got a convertible and drove to Busch Gardens for the day, which was very fun! The cars are in the parking garage at the rear of the hotel - for the one day hire we didn’t have to pay for overnight parking at Cabana Bay (but you do for longer rentals) One disappointing issue, we returned the car early so the next day at 1minute before our rental was officially supposed to end - the next customer took the car through a toll road without paying so I got the fine - $10 so not major but annoying and Avis have been very unhelpful in resolving

Have a blinky cup for me

@@OutAndBackTravel still time to come join us this year as well

I can fit in your carry on

I’m looking to increase love for HHN, blinky cup sales and boo hole to code yellow conversion rate by at least 15% YOY

@@OutAndBackTravel ok sir. How can i contact you?

Meet me in the fog on August 30, follow the lure of the blinky cup

@@OutAndBackTravel Do you have any social media accounts?

Thanks Dave ☺️ There’s some 10pm closes on Saturdays due to Halloween 🎃 so guess early September if you’d rather avoid it - some medium days on the crowd calendar midweek (but that also means staggered openings / reduced entertainment) probably need a break across the weekend (busier but full shows / experience) hopefully some quieter queues mid week days
