Man Gets Naked On Its A Small World Ride at Disneyland, and More news!

Man Gets Naked On It’s A Small World. Shows Us His ‘Small World’

A man got naked on It’s A Small World ride at Disneyland the other day. He started taking off his clothes throughout the ride and then finally wound up showing off his ‘small world’ as can be seen above.

There are various video clips of him throughout this incident.

Hunter Kost on X, caught two of the most interesting parts of the incident, when he’s fully nude(above) as well as when he is hauled off by a crowd of cops and castmembers.

What will happen to this man and why did he do this? Some are speculating he mightve been on drugs and that could be the why.

He probably has been arrested already. He will be banned for life from the Disneyland Resort. He will most likely be put on the sex offender registry as kids most likely saw him nude and he did get nude in a very public theme park for kids.

What I’m hoping for is a tell all book from him of his journey through the backstages of It’s a Small World and if he saw Walt Disney’s frozen head behind the scenes!

Join Our Six Flags Qiddiya Group!

We recently launched a Six Flags Qiddiya group on Facebook. If you’re interested in this brand new park, consider joining it for updates, tips on getting to the park, and so much more! Maybe we can even work with a local tourism board and get them to host a contest on the group where one lucky person can get flown to Qiddiya???

World’s First SpongeBob Dark Ride To Open Next Year

The Mr. Krabs Animatronic that will greet guests!

The world's first SpongeBob dark ride is being built and here's everything we know about it so far.

The new ride will be an original story and feature your favorite characters from the show. The ride will cost $6 million to create and is being made by Sally Dark rides. Here is the story of the dark ride:

Mr Crabs wants to open a carnival to make money, He’s asked Spongebob and patrick to go get some game pieces for this carnival, but they picked up the wrong box and instead have all the ingredients to make crabby patties, like the tomatoes, patties, buns, etc. 

Guests will be throwing these various ingredients in this dark ride to score points, kind of like Toy Story Mania at Disneyworld and Disneyland. There will be a variety of games hosted by your favorite characters. However, Plankton realizes that guests are throwing all the ingredients of a crabby patty, and he might finally get his hands on the secret formula. My guess is that at the end of the ride, guests will have to stop Plankton from getting away with the secret formula.

This ride will open in early 2024 at Circus Circus in Las Vegas.

Zip’n Slide Introduced At IAAPA

Imagine a hybrid waterslide. It’s part waterslide and part rollercoaster.

Sounds a little interesting, right?

Well, Polin Waterparks recently showed off this concept art of what this type of ride might look like. Guests will board a raft, as seen above, that has a metal hook at the end of it.

They will then either start on a waterslide or start on a coaster track.

Now check out this image. This is what the transition looks like between coaster and waterslide! It seems like it will make for some really cool elements! The ride vehicle will be able to ‘leave’ the coaster track and be fully on its own in a water slide.

Then it can eventually get back on ‘track’ so it can be a coaster again. Above, we can see a very cool element of this where the slide literally drops into a waterfall but guest will continue straight off of it on the coaster element.

Will this ever be built? Is it too complicated?

Im not sure if this will ever get built as it looks way way too complicated. Seems like these various transfer points could easily breakdown or get stuck, causing hefty delays. Not to mention, what is the ride capacity? Because this is a coaster, you need rideblocks, where only 1 vehicle can operate at a time.

So I think there might be just 2 or 3 vehicles on this whole track (unless its a super super long track). This would mean those that think of it as a coaster will be quite disappointed when maybe 250 people can ride this per hour(and I think im being optimistic there).

Nature Theme Park to Open in Okinawa, 2025

A new theme park called Junglia is set to open in 2025 in Okinawa, Japan. It will be built on a former golf course

“When people think of theme parks, they probably come up with great parks such as Tokyo Disneyland, USJ (Universal Studios Japan) and Huis Ten Bosch. But if (the new theme park) provides similar experiences as them, there would be no reason for visitors to go there when they come all the way to Okinawa,” Katana CEO Tsuyoshi Morioka said during a news conference in Tokyo.

“We must provide something that people cannot experience in urban areas. ... We’d like to create (a theme park) that maximizes the excitement that people will get from the overwhelming nature.”

Some of the rides that the park will offer include a balloon ride as well as a ride where visitors are chased by dinosaurs while they are in some sort of vehicle. There appears to be a few ziplines in the park.

The park will roughly cost $469 million.

A Look Inside The Glamping Tents At Six Flags Great Adventure

While I was at IAAPA the other week, one of the vendors there was Buschtec which is making the cool glamping tents being installed at Six Flags Great Adventure. You might’ve thought when the news of this new installation was first announced that these would be terrible to stay in.

But you’re wrong! These are amazing!

Just look at this bathroom area, it literally feels like you’re in a 5 star resort. This tent just felt amazing. From what I was told, it even has a heater in it for when it gets colder at night.

I’ll definitely be staying at one of these tents when they open next year and I’ll give you my report after staying in one!

Last week we asked what the best coaster on a list was. Fury 325 came out on top, followed by Big Bear Mountain. Next up in a tie was Steel Vengeance and Iron Gwazi.

What's the best Theme Park on this list?
