This Theme Park Costs LESS THAN $20... Explore France, Italy, Germany 🎢 🎡 🎠Kevin Across America2024-06-26 | Xetutul is a theme park in Guatemala. It is located in the Retalhuleu Department in the southwest of the country. Opening in 2002, Xetutul is the third largest amusement park in Latin America, after Beto Carrero World in Penha, Santa Catarina, Brazil, and Six Flags México near Mexico City, Mexico.
Xetutul is associated with the nearby Xocomil waterpark, which opened in 1997, and together the two parks receive over one million visitors every year, making the parks the most popular tourist attraction in the country.
Xetulul and Xocomil are operated by the Institute for the Recreation of Guatemalan Private Industry Workers (IRTRA, a private company that operates several other parks in Guatemala, plus nearby hotels and restaurants.
Xetutul features three roller coasters: Avalancha, an eight-inversion steel roller coaster built by Intamin, which (as of September 2018) is one of 15 roller coasters in the world to have eight or more inversions. Avalancha was also Latin America's largest roller coaster when it opened. Additionally, the park has Choconoy, a smaller family roller coaster, and Ratón Feliz, a junior roller coaster built in 2014. Xetutul also features the only double-decker carousel in Central America.
In addition to its amusement rides, Xetulul is known for its architecture. The park features architectural reproductions of many landmarks from across the world, including the Trevi Fountain, Moulin Rouge, and the Tikal Temple of the Great Jaguar. The park is divided into seven plazas, which feature architecture from six countries, including France, Germany, Guatemala, Italy, Spain, and Switzerland. Each national architecture style is featured in its own unique plaza.
The name "Xetulul" originates from the Kʼicheʼ language, and means "under the sapotes". There are currently plans to expand Xetulul with the addition of a golf course and a convention center.DRIVING AROUND Panama City, Panamas MOST DANGEROUS Neighborhood: El Chorrillo 👮 🚨 🚔 🔪 🇵🇦Kevin Across America2024-06-26 | El Chorrillo is right next to one of Panama City, Panama's most popular tourist neighborhoods. However, El Chorrillo is considered to be one of the most dangerous parts of Panama's capital! Locals often call El Chorrillo a “red zone” – a place to avoid, fear, and steer clear of.
Generally speaking, Panama City is safe, especially by Central American standards. Still, it behooves you to use common sense as you move about the city. Resist any temptation to go down a dark alley; keep a low profile, and try to blend-in as much as possible. Don’t “flash” expensive jewelry and cameras, or announce you’re a tourist with eccentric behavior, particularly in the more dangerous neighborhoods.
Casco Viejo (the city’s colonial quarter) is relatively safe and is guarded by special tourist police. I mention it because it’s a very nice area, teeming with travelers from around the world.WOW!!!

The aircraft was an Airbus A320.
Tocumen International Airport is the primary international airport serving Panama. The airport serves as the home base for Copa Airlines, and is a regional hub to and from the Caribbean, South, North, and Central America, and additionally features routes to some European cities.
In 2015, Emirates announced it would operate flights to Tocumen International Airport from Dubai, starting in 2016. It would have become the world's longest non-stop flight. However, the route was delayed for economic reasons and never came to fruition.DEPARTING GUATEMALA CITY La Aurora International Airport On Avianca Airlines 🇬🇹 ✈️ ☀️Kevin Across America2024-06-25 | In this video, Avianca 573 can be seen departing La Aurora International Airport in Guatemala City on May 7, 2024. The aircraft was an Airbus A320.
La Aurora International Airport is the primary airport of Guatemala. In 2008, the airport underwent a modernization and expansion. It was partly demolished and expanded with a new glass-designed concourse. It is now able to accommodate up to 22 aircraft.
The airport is the fourth-busiest in Central America in passenger traffic, behind Tocumen International Airport in Panamá, Juan Santamaría International Airport in Costa Rica, and the El Salvador International Airport.
On June 4, 2018, the airport had to close due to the Volcano Fuego eruption.DEPARTING SAN SALVADOR International Airport On Avianca Airlines 🇸🇻 ✈️ ☀️Kevin Across America2024-06-25 | In this video, Avianca 317 can be seen departing El Salvador International Airport on May 7, 2024.
Aeropuerto Internacional de El Salvador San Óscar Arnulfo Romero y Galdámez is a joint-use civilian and military airport.
Being close to sea level allows aircraft to operate efficiently at maximum capacity. The airport is connected to the capital of San Salvador through a modern four-lane highway. The travel distance is 26 miles and takes, on average, 30 minutes to cover.
Aeropuerto Internacional de El Salvador is the third busiest airport in Central America, with 3,411,015 passenger movements. It has also been recognized as one of the safest airports in the Americas due to robust security standards, only to be exceeded by airports in the United States and Canada.DO NOT GO TO LIVINGSTON, GUATEMALA!!! ❌🇬🇹❌Kevin Across America2024-04-28 | Your travel guidebook might make Livingston, Guatemala sound like a Caribbean destination worth visiting, but take it from me, it's not worth your time! The city of around 20,000 people is tough to reach, dirty, and lacks good restaurants. If you find yourself on this side of Guatemala, I recommend staying in Rio Dulce instead.GUATEMALA CITYS La Aurora Zoo Is WAY PRETTIER Than Most Zoos In The UNITED STATES 🇬🇹🐘🦁🐊🇬🇹Kevin Across America2024-04-24 | The Parque Zoológico La Aurora is a zoo in Guatemala City, Guatemala. It is one of the largest urban green spaces in the city. The zoo has three different areas, where animals from Asia, the Americas, and Africa can be observed.
The zoo was founded in 1924 in the southern part of the city as part of a huge entertainment area called Parque Reforma, featuring several museums, parks, and a hippodrome. Later, with the conversion of a small airfield into La Aurora International Airport the park was greatly reduced in size.
The remains of an ancient viaduct can be found in the park's vicinity. In 2007, the Hippodrome was demolished due to another airport expansion.
La Aurora Zoo was founded in 1924, and in 2017 it received the “Zoo of the Year” award from the Association of Zoos and Aquariums of the Americas.There is an OSTRICH that lives beside a busy gas station in GUATEMALA!!! 🇬🇹⛽️🚘 #travel #animalsKevin Across America2024-04-09 | ...Can YOU Guess which AIRPORT Im taking off from?

The seven members of the team were Shannon Miller, Dominique Moceanu, Dominique Dawes, Kerri Strug, Amy Chow, Jaycie Phelps, and team captain Amanda Borden. Miller, Dawes, and Chow also won individual gold, silver, and bronze medals respectively in Atlanta. The team is perhaps best known for Strug sticking the landing of a vault to clinch the gold medal while injured.
The leader of the Magnificent Seven is often said to be Shannon Miller, the second most decorated American gymnast in history and that year's reigning national champion. The other two individual stars on the team were Dominique Dawes and Dominique Moceanu, the previous two national champions (in 1994 and 1995 respectively). However, Kerri Strug eventually qualified for the individual all-around over Moceanu.
The other three members of the team were less heralded. Nevertheless, they were an integral part of the team's success. Amy Chow had the highest difficulty of anyone on the team, most notably on the uneven bars. Jaycie Phelps provided clean lines and solid gymnastics in all four events. The final member to qualify for the team, Amanda Borden, was named team captain.
The highest two scoring athletes on the team during the compulsories did not even perform at the Olympic Trials. Both Miller and Moceanu had been sidelined with injuries but were named to the team anyway, proving that the petition system was in the team's best interest.
In the individual All-Around finals, Dominique Moceanu had a big balance check after her punch front on the balance beam which ultimately knocked her out of contention when she only scored a 9.600. Despite the low score she still managed to finish 9th in the all-around. In stark contrast, Dominique Dawes and Shannon Miller both started out on the uneven bars and after the first two rotations (uneven bars and balance beam) they were in 1st and 2nd place respectively. The excitement, however, proved to be short-lived. Miller came up short on her first tumbling pass on the floor (a double layout), and stepped out of bounds on her last tumbling pass on the floor (a full twisting double back). A score of 9.475 dashed any dreams of a medal for her. Next up was Dawes, and while doing a punch front on the floor she fell out of bounds. She scored a 9.000 and just like that team USA was completely out of the all-around contention. Miller ended up placing 8th, while Dawes placed 17th. World champion Lilia Podkopayeva took the title and the gold, while the three Romanians took revenge for their disappointing team bronze by sweeping the other medals (Gina Gogean won silver, and Simona Amânar and Lavinia Miloşovici tied for bronze).
The Magnificent Seven went on tour after their gold medal performance. Strug, however, elected not to join the other six members and instead headlined a rival tour for considerably higher compensation than the other six.
The entire team appeared on a Wheaties cereal box and on several talk shows. Miller, once again the most successful member of the team following her five medal total in the Barcelona Games, captured the only individual gold for the American women. Her gold medal on the balance beam was a first for an American, followed only by Shawn Johnson at the 2008 games.
In 2008, Magnificent Seven was inducted into the United States Olympic Hall of Fame in the team category. The team received their award in Chicago with other Olympic greats.
In 2012, viewers were able to vote on some of the greatest Olympic moments in NBC history for a special Top 30 Olympic Moments program to air before the London Olympics. Kerri Strug's vault was one of the clips and ended up receiving the most votes, placing first on the countdown.Did The SAME Voiceover Guy Do EVERY 1990s Movie Trailer? #movie #voiceover #firefighter #90s #80sKevin Across America2024-01-30 | ...News Anchor: Boy that math just doesnt add up though.
