Chad, you failed to mention Geno's East. Where is that trip report?

^This is now Taco Adventures, not Geno's East buy one get one free because the waitress screwed up and put in for a deep dish instead of thin crust but still totally amazing and awesome especially the mozzarella spinach sticks and worth every penny Adventures

How were the tacos?

Btw .. I totally don't trust the above post. Geno's East uses either Chihuahua or Great Dane queso and definitely not mozzarella.

Holy run-on sentence, Batman.

I'm lost on the whole taco thing. What kind of tacos are we talking about?

Is it just me or does the new title change sound like Chad is hitting up strip clubs instead of theme parks? :lol:

Love the pictures of Great America. I'm really hoping to make it back up there later this year.

On this adventures I made my way to Michigan on May 30th where I was hoping for light crowds and an easy going day. Thankfully, Michigan's Adventure could provide me with such a day.

With school still in session and a high of 60 forecast the park was empty, and I mean, empty save for the school buses. Including my car, maybe 40 others in the lot which meant I might be able to get in and get out. Unfortunately for the cleanest amusement park that I think I've ever been too, that would not be the case as Shivering Timbers was not feeling well.

With a state still deep in economic ruins it is refreshing to see the park open, but there isn't much of a draw in the ride department save for Shivering Timbers. Pretty much stock carnival flats and standard coasters, the park has great potential and plenty of room to expand. Although the water park was closed due to the temperatures, it appears as if it is their best asset.

To sum it up, if you've been to Worlds of Fun and not really thought it was anything special, you haven't been to Michigan's Adventure.

As usual, if you love photos clicky to see them all.
