Last weekend we were invited out to Six Flags Magic Mountain for another amazing hear of Holiday In the Park. 
Kind of weird to think that just a few years ago there were practically no decorations at this park and it has turned into such a holiday classic event. 

The lights are about to come on!! 

Ready? 

Let there be light!! 

While waiting for it to get a bit darker outside, we suggest checking out Kwerkmas!! 

It's a really fun show!! 

And when you get out, it's totally dark and the lights are amazing!! 

This year they have a Fire + Ice Pub at Metro Park with a lot of really amazing food including Lobster Mac and Cheese which was AMAZING!! 

DC Universe is as always a lot of fun

Amazing lights everywhere 

Great photo op at the front of the park 

As you can see it was a bit crowded. But holiday fun was being had by all. 

Be sure to check out Holiday in the Park 2017. It's a hoot!!!

Recently we had the opportunity to check out the Christmas spectacular at Six Flags Great Adventure, “Holiday In the Park” .  After premiering just a few short years ago, this event has quickly become a not to miss holiday event and easily our favorite Christmas event in the North East.

​We'll also have a quick look at Justice League: Battle for Metropolis 

Since this special time of year is all about spending time with your loved ones and families, we traveled with our preschooler and kindergartener. While we love Six Flags collections of world class roller coasters and rides, this event is so family friendly that we had a wonderful time just enjoying the different holiday attractions. 

​Walking into the park your are greeted by an incredible Christmas tree that magically comes alive every 30 minutes with dancing lights and festive music.. This is not to be missed.

Your little ones can meet Santa (they do a great photo op here too which is much better than most mall Santa set ups), send a letter to the North Pole, listen to the spectacular live singers, and even roast s’mores at one of the many numerous fire pits.  If all Great Adventure offered was this and the spectacular light displays, it would be a top notch event, but as a special Christmas gift for all of us, you also have a collection of top notch coasters to ride between all the merriment. 

​It should be noted as well that the Joker does run during this event.. 

BONUS: 

We also got a look at Justice League construction. Looks to be about as far along as Magic Mountain's. But since this park is going to be closed for a few months this is likely the last look we'll get until it opens in Spring. 

Thanks for reading, we hope you all enjoyed our look at Holiday In The Park at Six Flags Great Adventure. Thanks again to the park for having us out to check out the event. We can't wait for next season!!

Over the weekend we got to check out the first night of the amazing Holiday In The Park at Six Flags Magic Mountain. 
In just it's third year this event has easily turned into one of our favorite events of the year. Even if you don't care for the rides at Magic Mountain, experiencing the Holiday atmosphere in the park is worth the price of admission alone. 

Let's start off with a few daytime pictures because the park looks incredibly festive by day and night. 

On The New Revolution for the Holiday Season is "Santa's Wild Sleigh Ride". We got a chance to experience the ride and we all really did enjoy it. 

I hadn't personally ridden the VR Version of Revolution since Media Day earlier this year and while I'm still not a fan of VR on coasters and it's impact to capacity I have to say I did enjoy this more than the regular Revolution VR. And that pretty much was the consensus among everybody I talked to. So be sure you check it out. 

Also new this year is a new show in the Gearworks Theatre - Kwerkmas. 

It's a fun cirque type show with great acrobatics, dancers and a magician. We've put together a slideshow below to give you an idea of what the show is like. 

So one of the things that really put Holiday In The Park on the Map when it started two years ago was the food. This was definitely a departure from the normal "Burger and Fries" that Magic Mountain had been known for. 

The first year they started kind of traditional, with a ham feast, tamales and other traditional type holiday foods. Which was awesome. And yes, for those of us who live in Southern California, tamales are most definitely traditional holiday food. 

But last year they started "experimenting" with a few different things. Some things were removed and in it's place came the Holiday Turkey Dog (Turkey dog with stuffing, cranberry sauce, mayo) which from it's description you wouldn't think would work. But it DOES. 

Other favorites from last year included the Mac n Cheese Burger, Chocolate Covered Caramel Pretzel, Funnel Cakes and more. And all of your favorites are back with a few new treats to enjoy. 

And as we did last year, we'll be sharing our top 5 lists so you can be sure to know what to try when you visit. 

Aftermath of our first food stop of the night. Sorry, we ate too fast to get pictures. Plus we were having such a good time just enjoying the company. 

Towards the end of the night they had a nice reception set up for us near Katie's Kettle. SFMM sure does spoil us. 

Lots of amazing treats. 

We actually remembered to get a before pic ... kind of. ;) 

Top 5 food picks 

We had such an amazing time at Holiday In The Park. It truly is one of our favorite events each and every year, not just holiday events, but in general. The lights are fantastic, the atmosphere is phenomenal, everybody is just out to have a great time, it's stress free, no drama. Oh, and the food is amazing. 

Thanks again to Magic Mountain for the amazing night, we can't wait to get back and experience more of Holiday In The Park. And we WILL be back.
