I would have loved more rerides too if it weren't for the crowds (and at one point it was stopped on the lift for a while because there was a loud metal banging as it left the station). The ride feels so hammered into shape, and it's amazing how well that works to the ride's advantage.
Funnily enough, I went on a beautiful Saturday during spring break and baseball season, and the park was very busy. But other than the log flume, I was able to ride everything I wanted to and had a good time. Definitely will be back in the area for Mattel, and I’d be interested in giving Castles n Coasters a revisit!
This is our home park, it really a good park and has some great pinball machines too. I have never seen that many people there. My daughter and i have had season passes for several years!!
Yeah, I had picked a bad week to go to the park, it was at the height of both spring break and baseball season, so lesson learned lol. It's a fun place, I just wish they had more space to expand. I'll have to check out the pinball machines whenever I return!
@@CivilianSatellite don’t worry about what people think but if anything create decent content and give people the full experience and not just info about a limited number of rides. Look at theme park world wide he shows off the entire place, not a limited experience. An hour long or more video isn’t going to hurt anything except provide a fuller experience.
@@Leo-Lion In the short term at least, I had been aiming at keeping the video durations around 10-15 minutes. I'd been thinking about doing away with that limitation anyway, so that'd be easy moving forward. As for creating a more fuller park experience, that will probably take some time. I don't always have my camera out when I'm enjoying the park like TPWW does, but I'll play around with having it out more in future park visits. It'll take some getting used to, but I'll work at it and longer videos should become a natural byproduct over time.
I squeezed this in during a layover and I wish I had more time to get extra rerides on Desert Storm. I loved how weird and forceful it was.

If you hate lines, this is the place to go.
I visit this park when I see my grandparents in Surprise.

Update 2024 Glendale/Phoenix is getting a big amusement park. Mattel is sponsoring it.
@@margojohnson4224 Very excited for Mattel Adventure Park. I’ll absolutely give it a visit after it opens.
Now with special effects. Another great video 👍
Thanks a lot! And yeah, I feel like there's at least one episode per season where I have to warp someone to a theme park lol.
great video man! 🙌🏻
Thanks a lot! 😀
Thing actually Sounds like a desert storm.
It's surprisingly loud for a fairly small coaster, haha!
When on it today and it's fun for a Hopkins coaster:)
When I went to Walmart that thing is loud. Sounded like a thrilling coaster.
Glad you had a good ride! Hopkins coasters have a knack for looking and sounding like they were MacGyvered together only to turn out surprisingly fun.
I was surprised by the drop tower because it lifted me out of my seat. And the drop was fast.
Petition for CNC to strike while the iron is hot and build a strata T-Rex over the corpse of Metro Center Mall.
Something like that would certainly win over the crowds wanting to go to Mattel instead lol

Make the videos longer!
Thanks for the feedback! Next week’s video is a bit longer; if it does well then I will shoot for longer videos 😀
