2014 Trip Review

The International Exhibition of Sherlock Holmes at the COSI
I rember going to the COSI when I was at a middle shcool trip. The exibihits were fun and interactive, I did enjoy the treasure hunt adventure. Coming back here brings a lot of good memories. 
The Sherlock Exibit was really fasinating. The setting was ripped right out the novels, and had to use our brians to solves the mystery.


Kentucky Kingdom 
When I heard about Kentucky Kingdom reopened, I was kinda of overwhlmed by the fact that it's been year sienc it closed. When coming back to Kentucky Kingdom, I was'nt impressed when they took down the Looney Toons play area. On the otherhand, we did enjoy the rides such as Thunder Run and Twisted Sitster. 
We even did spend most of the time at Hurricane Bay.

Banshee at Kings Island


The new Banshee roller coaster was the first attractions we've riden at Kings Island, and belive me it was fastes, excelerating and badass roller coster I've riden in all my life. They had great themed que line. 

The Highland Renisance Fair 
It was Steampunk Weekend at the Kentucky Highland Reniscance Fair. Dad and I dressed up for the event. I was in a top hat with goggles and kilt. It was quite a surpirise for me when they asked me to play the part of The Drunken Scottsman. Over all the costumes were great and the shows were funny.

Those who are not familair with steampunk, here are some pictures I've took. 





The Smithsionian Museumes
The Newseum was the first and newst musume we went to during our trip to Washington. They had a priting press, an exibit on Anchorman, a replicas of the Berlin Wall and antina from the Twin Towers.

Printing Press

Action News Chopper

Ancherman


Busch  Gardens
I enjoy going to Busch Gardens than Epcot's World Showcase. Because of the attmosphic landscaping, the themed areas, the attractions and of couse the food. I did mangae to ride all five of the roller coasters including the new Verbolton. Too bad Dad was having neck problems, he was missing the fun. 
Joly Old England 


Diagon Alley
The attmosphere and enviroment to the new additions were enchanting. A perfect way to combine the light of Digon Alley and the darkness of Noxturn Alley. They were straigh out of the movies and books. The ride was excelerating and intense. The food at the Leaky Cauldron was great. 



Halloween Horror Nights 24
As mentioned brfore in my pervious post on the best Horror Nights events. I really was anticipated and had expectations on what was I to suscpect and uspect for this years Horror Nights 24th anniversary. 
Halloween
We've only to five of the haunted houses they provided. My personaly favorites were Halloween, Dollhouse of the Damned and Roanoke Canibal Conley. 

Dollhouse of the Damned

Roanoke: Canibal Conley

I was glad they had there themed scare zones back. The last two previous years were a bunch of hit and misses. My favories were Face Off, Mask-arid, and Bayou of Blood. 






The Voodoo Queen

Mrs Pumkin Head


The Siren 

Old Town Legends: A Haunting
Unlike Universal's Horror Nights and Busch Gardens Howl o Scream. This haunted attraction is open year round. The attraction did remind my a bit of Ripplie's Haunted Attraction. The sets were straight out of a movie and the effects were amazing. 


Black Widows

The Dickens Christmas Festival 
During the Christmas sesons, The Kentucky Highland Rensacie Fair become the Dickenas Christmas Festival. They would act out scences from the classic Holiday novel in order. I loved the costumes and food they provied.
