 This week on Fork Journey, we're travelling all around North America to bring you the latest and greatest in the world of forks. We've got Canadian forks, Christmas forks, Hybrid forks, Southern Forks. All the Forks you could ever want to see. Maybe our forks will prove our point to that other point that our points are amazing and we are worthy to point out all of the points the point wants us to point out. Forks with some Canadian HumorThe newest members of Team Fork Journey, Nicholas and Jeff spread some of their Canadian Humor all over Fork Journey.   Idaho isn't only known for the innovators of the Hybrid coaster and potatoes, they are also known for their amazing forks!! Matt and his wife Rose checked in with the following ... The Many Forks of IdahoHybrid chopstick forks, silver, plastic, stainless steel, even decorative mini forks with handles that look like Christmas lights.  As fork enthusiasts, we see the beauty in every fork, and I do my best to convey that with my photography.   This controversial beauty is reviled by traditionalists, even mocked and cursed as being less worthy than a spork!  What kind of monster do you think I am?!? I wouldn't 'rank' my kids if I had any, so why would I do such a thing? I enjoy them all...  My wife shows off our prized 'Mega Fork' - It can obliterate even the biggest salad bar creation nearly instantly. It's like the gigacoaster equivalent of eating utensils.  Forks with Southern CharmRandy shares with us how much those in the south enjoy forks From California where we don't know the difference between Wood and SteelSome of our Friday Night Fork Journey comments from the Fork Journey Facebook Page
 We hope you enjoyed our weekly wrap-up of all things Fork Journey. Join us next week as we join Gary from Coasting with Culture as he checks out the forks of South Africa. Related Updates:

 Hey there, Park Journey readers! California's Great America is now open for the 2018 season, so we were excited to drop in and check out what's new. The park is currently debuting Backyard Bands and BBQ, a limited engagement food and entertainment event that runs March 31st to April 8th. There is a lot of work happening around the RailBlazer site, plus some really nice merchandise arrivals to check out! Written by Andrew Cunningham  Starting off, we are checking out Backyards Bands and BBQ, the new BBQ food event that is taking place around the RailBlazer "great outdoors" themed area. Above is an overview of the event, with the food and beer booth on the left and the stage for bands on the right.  The event consists of a food booth and a beer booth. You can see the menu and prices above.  Not a bad way to enjoy some nice weather at the park! I started out with the Serrano Mango Sausage and the 21st Amendment Blood Orange IPA. We also tried the Smokehouse Chipotle Sausage and RailBlazer BBQ Pork Shank.  Once the RailBlazer construction is done, there will be a permanent stage to host future entertainment in the area. For the time being they are making use of a temporary stage. This area is going to look great once everything is complete!  RailBlazer construction is in full swing right next door. The track is complete, so it looks like most of the focus has moved to the rockwork, queue, station, and catwalks.  I love how the inversion is going to fly right above the entrance plaza and signage. This will definitely be a "signature shot" when everything is up and running.  You can see that there is still a ways to go on the theming and station. There will also be a water feature once everything is finished!  There is a great themed RailBlazer merchandise display in Inside CGA. They have a nice selection of mugs, water bottles, and apparel.  I gotta say, these RailBlazer bears are super cute! Want! Overall, California's Great America is doing an incredible job of making 2018 the most exciting year ever at the park. The theming, food, entertainment, and merchandise is all coming together to create an incredible atmosphere in the park. It's so exciting to see Cedar Fair make these investments into the park, and we can't wait to see how everything progresses. Thank you so much for reading! Related Updates:  During our visit to the Boysenberry Festival we of course had to take a look at the progress of HangTime. As you should know by now, the track has been completed and testing has begun (sadly not during our visit). As you can see from the pics below, progress is now being made on the station, store and queue!! Written by Gregg Condon Soon to be the home for all your HangTime needs  If you'll look closely, some of the windows already have glass   The station is coming along nicely   All new mural which will look great with the ride in action  So many twists and turns      Some landscaping should be starting very soon   This was also our first visit since the Sky Cabin reopened so we of course had to get some aerial shots  Switchbacks right in the middle of all the action   DIRT!!!   And in another bit of awesome news, Xcelerator was testing but sadly never opened while we were at the park. If it hasn't reopened already, it's most likely coming very soon.  Related Updates: |
