Today Matt drove out to Silverwood to take a look at Stunt Pilot to see the progress on the newest RMC creation. 

Enjoy this quick update from the park! We can't wait for opening day! 

Hey there Silverwood! 

We set up shop across the interstate where we could get a look at Stunt Pilot. 

Mmm, Aftershock Towers. 

Oh, you're here to see Stunt Pilot! 

It's really hard to convey in pictures how bright white Stunt Pilot track is. But it looks amazing! 

How many coasters do you see in this shot? 

Now that RMC is done in Tennessee, we should hopefully see more track going up here very soon, and much better views from outside the park. 

It's going to look simply fantastic in this area of the park. 

The end! Hope you enjoyed this quick update from Silverwood! 

This past weekend Renée and Andrew made their way out to Texas to check out some of the theme parks around Houston and in San Antonio including SeaWorld Texas, Galveston Pleasure Pier and Kemah Boardwalk. 

But before we get to ANY of that, they first found this funky dark ride inside a Rainforest Cafe. And it looks AMAZING! Enjoy! 

We’re in Texas for the weekend, and our first stop is a hidden gem of a dark ride at the Galveston Rainforest Cafe.

It’s $10 to enter the pier and rides cost extra. The weather is perfect, it’s not terribly busy and masks are fortunately still being enforced here.

We’re here for Iron Shark, and it was surprisingly so much fun!

We’re spending the evening at Kemah Boardwalk. Unfortunately, the queue for Boardwalk Bullet is quite full at the moment, but we’ll check back in a bit!

After a nearly two hour wait, we made it on to the back row of Boardwalk Bullet for an epic and awesome night ride!

Check back tomorrow for our update from SeaWorld Texas!
