The blogger, then a ripe ole age of 21, enjoys a beverage during a private employee ride session.

Back in my junior year in college, I was lucky enough to intern at Conneaut Lake Park in Northwestern Pennsylvania. In its then-99th season, the Flynn Family undertook its largest single capital project to date- the construction of a Lazy River. Lots of coincidences here, as we fast forward to 2012, and here at Raging [...]

A Morey’s Piers App?

Utah!

February 8, 2012 By Tim 1 Comment

Jack found out that I was going to be in Las Vegas, so he said, “why don’t you stop by Colorado and check out Vail Resorts?” Vail does some pretty amazing things when it comes to creating unique experiences and since ski resorts are really amusement parks for the cold months I thought,” why not?

Viva Las Vegas!

February 1, 2012 By Tim 2 Comments

Viva Las Vegas, the overused term. Since the company shuts down for two weeks over Christmas, Sean and I decided to head to Vegas for a weekend before all of the holiday chaos ensued. I hadn’t been there in about 3 years, last time for a convention, so I was looking forward to seeking all [...]

Roadtrip!

January 9, 2012 By Tim 3 Comments

So I’ve realized I’ve taken quite a few road trips lately. Sometimes I fly, but overall at some point I’m driving somewhere on a whim to see something unique. You may recall that Lindsey and I went to Indiana for the Golden Tickets Awards back in September then continued on to the City museum in [...]

Christmas Kangaroo Style

January 2, 2012 By Sam Leave a Comment

While visiting home before Christmas in Western PA, I always make a stop to legendary Kennywood Park. Until this December, past visits basically included walking around the park, bothering the owners and managers, and seeing what is underway for the next season. However, for the first time ever, we saw ‘Holiday Lights at Kennywood’. One [...]

Morey’s Fears Just Wasn’t Enough

December 23, 2011 By Sam 2 Comments

Morey’s Fears was a lot of work. And also a lot of fun. Buying decorations, installing decorations and working the evenings we were open was a blast. But some of us just had to see more. For many years many of us had been visiting other theme parks and attractions during October. That’s a long [...]
