Kingdom of the Dinosaurs At Knotts Berry Farm @swevenstate

Sweven State Kingdom of the Dinosaurs was my all-time favorite attraction when I was a kid until it was surpassed when I was finally peer pressured into riding the "terrifying" Timber Mountain Log Ride (Known as the "Calico Log Ride" back then). I grew up in the 1990s during the golden age of dinosaur films, merchandise and rides. My entire room was outfitted with dinos. You name it, I had it, from bed sheets to posters to action figures. Kingdom of the Dinosaurs brought the Land Before Time and Jurassic Park movies to life right before my eyes. As much as I miss the ride, part of me is glad that it's no longer around for selfish reasons. I'm not sure it could ever live up to my nostalgic childhood memories.

Disneyland Main Street Electrical Parade August 2017 - Classic Super 8 Film

Sweven State 2017-10-08 | Watch clips from the Main Street Electrical Parade's finale performance at Disneyland on August 20, 2017, captured using classic Kodak Super 8 film. Super 8 film was the most popular way to capture home movies when the parade first debuted in the early 1970s. I thought Super 8 would be a fun to capture the parade in that same classic "Kodak Moment" way.

Corkscrew at Knotts Berry Farm

Sweven State 2016-02-25 | I never had a chance to ride the Corkscrew roller coaster, but a number of Knott's employees and guests still sing the ride's praises nearly three decades since the ride left the park in 1989. The ride was replaced by Boomerang in 1990. Luckily, Corkscrew wasn't sent to the scrap heap, but instead found a new home in Idaho at Silverwood Theme Park.
