“West Coast Racers” is measured and effusive ride

By Alfonso De Elias

Under an excellent job by six flags, CA  with its newest roller coaster, the dual-track West Coast Racers will be the best ride of your life. The world’s first 360-degree vertical loop and the West Coast’s tallest pendulum ride. The tracks are full speed into the helix’s so you will have some real airtime and intensity. The best part of this section is when you feel like you could touch the competing car’s passengers.

The upcoming ride is collaboration between West Coast Customs and Six Flags, being promoted as the world’s first launch version of a racing roller coaster. With two-car trains, each holding a total of 12 riders, launch simultaneously from the station. They interact over thirty times throughout the course of the track, reaching a maximum speed of 55 mph (89 km/h) as the two trains cross the finish line.

The screams never die at Six Flags Fright Fest 2019

The mazes are back again at Six Flags Fright Fest 2019. This year more props and monsters are ready for entertaining you. Most people enjoyed the haunted houses, and the anticipation of special events that come with the witching season. Six Flags makes this time one of the best frightening experience. You go through these mazes which are basically just walls consisting of painted cardboards and took slightly longer than 3 minutes or more to get through. The scariest zones have real monsters and witches who were running around scraping some sort of metal on the ground so it shot sparks everywhere. The fog on the rides and many monsters scaring and creeping was the best. The scare zones are Vault 666, Unlocked, Sewer of Souls, Willoughby’s, Resurrected, Red’s Revenge, Condemned, Forever Damned, Aftermath 2: Chaos Rising.

Definitely, you have to do all the mazes. Personally, I really enjoyed this event and got on a few rides all in one night. In general all mazes have excellent production value. They really spend a lot on constructing (and staffing!) the mazes make worth a visit.

Angelenos will enjoy this bizarre colorfully costumed artists in “Amaluna,” Los Angeles on the LA Waterfront in San Pedro, CA is the place where Cirque du Soleil invites the audience to enjoy a great show that brings strength, sweetness and passion. This is a fusion of the words ama, which refers to “mother” in many languages, and luna, which means “moon”; a symbol of femininity that evokes both the mother-daughter relationship and the idea of goddess and protector of the planet. It is also the name of the mysterious island where this magical story unfolds.

 Although each Cirque production is top notch, spectators will notice fantastic acrobatics through a mysterious island governed by Goddesses and guided by the cycles of the moon. Their queen, Prospera, directs her daughter’s coming-of-age ceremony in a rite that honors femininity, renewal, rebirth and balance which marks the passing of these insights and values from one generation to the next.  In the wake of a storm caused by Prospera, a group of young men lands on the island, triggering an epic, emotional story of love between Prospera’s daughter and a brave young suitor. But theirs is a love that will be put to the test. The couple must face numerous demanding trials and overcome daunting setbacks before they can achieve mutual trust, faith and harmony.

Definitely, Los Angeles is lucky for a great spectacle like this, based on its original creativity, humor and athletic performances with Cirque du Soleil which is a great leader in artistic entertainment. These are the dates of performances April 25, 2019 – May 26, 2019.
