This dude eats at Six Flags Magic Mountain most of the time

I wonder how many years of his life he shaved off by eating that food.

I think he probably adds the years back on by all the walking you have to do to get from the parking lot to the entrance, and then over or around the mountain to get to any of the decent restaurants. And there are actually a few healthy AND good options, especially the tri-tip back by Justice League and the Greek food in the food court under Superman.

What the hell is toxic hustle porn?

Not nearly as interesting as one might have hoped.

I've never heard of that, which is surprising, because despite spending the last 7-ish years in tech startups (or otherwise young companies), I'm not going to kill myself for work. It's like being in a toxic relationship with your employer.

Not sure what to think when someone who worked like crazy and made a lot of money says don't do as I did.

This made Trevor Noah tonight. He makes the funny observation that amusement parks are simultaneously the cheapest and most expensive things to do.

Absolutely true. One can either goes for a day or two and oau a fortune, or get season pass plans and go for hardly anything if they take advantage of it.

I know Cedar fair fully recognizes season pass revenue after 5 visits. They hope that’s all one will attend.

If you ever wondered what became of that kid you knew who refused to eat anything but chicken strips, well, here he is.

Please stop quoting the previous post.

Pure Genius. We live 15 mins from SFOT and regularly my wife says “honey, I don’t feel like cooking. Wanna go to six flags?” So we go with our kids, eat our meals and ride a few rides. It’s a blast!

If Universal Orlando had something like this -and- better counter service food, I could see myself taking good advantage of it. Not like this guy, but a weekly lunch or dinner and Velocicoaster ride after work.

I've gone to Great America for a free meal about once a season for the last 3 or 4. Most recently, we went on a Haunt Saturday (the park closed and was cleared at 5 to reopen at 7) and had some intention of riding, but it was about an hr before close and we didn't care enough to actually wait in any lines. We left mostly satisfied with the investment of time. That said the food offerings at Great America are slightly worse than they were pre-covid, for the "price," so we're probably not going to be doing that again any time soon.

That's definitely more creative than my show up at Grandma's house before dinner strategy was.

I forgot about this until just now, and maybe I mentioned it somewhere before, but I have a friend who lives in N. Ky. and is a travel blogger/influencer. As part of her job she is a Kings Island Ambassador. I’m not exactly sure what that entails but I think I’d like to be one.
Anyway, she got a Gold pass for her family, (husband and two HS, college aged sons) with season meal plans. She doesn’t like to cook or shop so many nights are spent at KI for dinner. Sometimes lunch. They hit the gate, and either split up or go together, depending on where they want to eat. They are quite satisfied with the choices and the quality and my friend reports that they all agree it’s better and more fun than her cooking.
Sometimes they take a few spins before they leave, sometimes not.
I live in Columbus which is a pretty great place, but one thing I’d love to have is a “home” park that’s closer, so i could do just that any time I wanted.

So with a CP Gold Pass they actually value the gate at $20/visit… Wow.
