Chris takes the driver's wheel as he recounts his family's most recent road trip to Texas which included stops at three different theme parks!
Their first stop was at King's Island in Cincinnati, OH. After years of waiting, Chris and his son finally got to tame the legendary wooden roller coaster, The Best.
Once in Texas, Chris tells us about their experience at the newly opened Universal Kids Resort! While some have complained about sparse offerings and half baked theming, it sounds like Chris's kiddos had a great time exploring this barely two week old theme park.
Finally on the way home they checked off a Minotti family bucket list park, Dollywood! After years of accolades, Chris tells us if this park and its many attractions and roller coasters are worth the hype.
