Steel State Wooden Coasters
Pennsylvania is the heart of the rust belt, but this steel state has some of the best wooden coasters around. Plus we will see who has the best food offerings. While, Hershey park is home to a chocoholic's dream, Knoebels has been voted best amusement park food in the nation.
Beachy Boardwalks
Thrills, rides and games of chance all set on a Beachy backdrop. We will visit some of the east coast's most classic boardwalk amusement parks. Who will have the best classic coaster? The best boardwalk vibe? The greatest games on the midway?
Extreme Thrills
We explore the over the top, cutting edge, next generation thrills that the Midwest has to offer. Which park has made a near death experience the most fun? The highest drop? The loudest ride? The most futuristic ride?
Themed Parks
We are going heading out to find three parks with very different themes. We will experience terror in the wild Halloween themed park Wild Adventures, have an 1800's Ozark adventure at Silver Dollar City and get to experience Christmas, Thanksgiving and the 4th of July on the same day at Holiday World!
Wet and Wild Waterparks
We take a trip to a tropical paradise in the middle of... Wisconsin? We will see where the local cheese heads get their fix of water sliding, swimming and surfing. And then head to a park in New Jersey who proudly wears the crown of the most dangerous theme park on earth.
