A Day at Kolmården Wildlife Park in Sweden.
Kolmården Wildlife Park is a large zoo in Sweden that opened an incredible wooden roller coaster last year. Paradoxically, the park boasts 370 acres of property, 600 animals from all over the world, and now three roller coasters. It’s an unusual combination, but one that we enjoyed greatly. Over 50 years old, Kolmården is one […]
Visiting Busch Gardens Tampa Bay: A Review + Tips.
I was given complimentary tickets to Busch Gardens Tampa Bay in exchange for this post. As always, all opinions are honest and my own. This was a pretty special trip for us. Mr. Meena’s grandparents live near Busch Gardens Tampa Bay, and he’s visited the park several times on family vacations over the years. We’ve […]
Visiting the Wurstelprater Amusement Park in Vienna, Austria.
This post contains affiliate links; read more here. The Wurstelprater amusement park is located in Wiener Prater, a large public park in Vienna (Wien), Austria. While there is a lot to see and do in the massive park, Wurstelprater is special because it is the oldest amusement park in the world. Publicly opened in 1766, […]
The Schweinfurt Volksfest and About Our Next Coaster Trip.
I’m not going to pretend like Schweinfurt’s Volksfest was impressive, because it wasn’t. At least not after we’d already been to the larger ones in Würzburg and Nürnberg. I was also a bit upset when I realized the people running the Schweinfurt Facebook page were using photos of the Volksfest from the previous year (without […]
How Holiday Park (Germany) Is Different from American Theme Parks.
We recently visited Holiday Park and were pleasantly surprised throughout the day as we encountered a more relaxed atmosphere than we expected. This park really challenged our primarily American based experience of theme parks. I’m even more excited now to visit more parks in Europe. Here are the 13 things that really stood out to […]
Photos of Holiday Park, Germany.
You can read about our trip to Holiday Park here or about how the German park is different from US parks here. But if you just want photos of Holiday Park, than this is the post for you. This is a piece of track from Super Wirbel, which was the very first inverting roller coaster in Germany. […]
Visiting Holiday Park in Haßloch, Germany.
Recently Mr. Meena and I visited Holiday Park in Haßloch, Germany. It’s nearly three hours away from where we live and it was a very appropriate trip since we were celebrating Mr. Meena’s 25th birthday (in case you don’t know, he is a roller coaster fanatic in every sense of the word). We had something really special […]

Our Cedar Fair Park Tour Part 2: Canada’s Wonderland, Niagara Falls, and Dorney Park.
Welcome back! Hope you enjoyed Part 1 of this post. Park 3/5: Canada’s Wonderland, Toronto, Canada. “Canada’s Premier Amusement Park” It was quite a trek up to Canada and it was my first experience driving across an international border. It was also the coldest park of the trip by far. We also spent the least […]
