Summer is here! So take advantage of the warm weather. Get outdoors and experience heart-pumping thrills at an amusement park or get wet and wild at a water park. Start planning now with our coveted list of Travel's Best Amusement and Water Parks 2015, assembled with help from our panel of experts, including family travel expert Erin Gifford and theme-park reviewer Arthur Levine. Find out why you shouldn't miss out on visiting these parks this year.
Ihu's Breakaway Falls at SeaWorld's Aquatica is billed as the tallest and steepest waterslide in Orlando, sending thrill-seekers straight down 40 feet before they twist and turn their way through the colorful slides. "Keep the adrenaline flowing at Taumata Racer, a high-speed racing slide that allows up to 8 guests to race at the same time," says Erin Gifford, family travel expert and founder of Kidventurous.com. But it's not all thrills and spills at Aquatica. A lazy river, a wave pool and a splashy structure with a 500-gallon dumping water bucket will please even the smallest park guests.
The general manager of Carowinds, Mike Fehnel, has said that the experience of riding the new Fury 325 roller coaster will be with you for the rest of your life. Standing at 325 feet tall, the Fury 325 is among the 5 tallest coasters in the world. "Taller than the Statue of Liberty, which is 305 feet tall, the Fury 325 sends riders racing up, down and around turns at 95 miles per hour," says Erin Gifford. Need more? Carowinds has 9 other roller coasters that offer drops, loops, turns and spins — both forward and backward.
It's always a joy to visit the happiest place on Earth, but 2015 will be especially joyful as the eminent park marks its 60th anniversary with a Diamond Celebration. "In addition to old standbys such as Pirates of the Caribbean and Big Thunder Mountain Railroad (which got a cool upgrade last year), there will be a spectacular new nighttime parade and fireworks show," says Arthur Levine, theme park expert for About.com. Doing what the Mouse does best, the presentations will deftly stir emotions with eye-popping technology and huge doses of nostalgia.
Don't miss a ride on the hair-raising Impulse, the park's newest attraction — a roller coaster with a 90-degree vertical drop. In addition to this new coaster, the park features historic rides such as the 1948 classic wooden roller coaster Phoenix and a brass ring carousel — a rare find in the US. Knoebels Amusement Resort is located in Elysburg, PA, which is about 2 1/2 hours outside Philadelphia. Admission is free, but guests do pay per ride. "Plan to stay all day. Knoebels has several rides, the best amusement-park food and fun activities to keep your family happy for hours," says Robb Alvey, theme park expert and founder of ThemeParkReview.com. And if you like camping, Knoebels features one of the largest campgrounds at any traditional amusement park.
Visit Knott's Berry Farm this year to experience Voyage to the Iron Reef, an interactive 4-D battle against the Queen of the Kraken and her army. Riders must save the park's iconic attractions from becoming scrap metal. In addition to this new interactive experience, parkgoers come here for its small-town charm and fantastic roller coasters. "From the speed of Montezooma's Revenge to the looping Boomerang, Knott's has great thrills — even offering small screamers for kids who are just getting started on coasters," says Lissa Poirot, editor-in-chief of FamilyVacationCritic.com. Another perk? Save $25 per ticket by purchasing in advance online.
Stuffed to the gills with water fun, Schlitterbahn is an enormous, unique and innovative water park. "Among its notable attractions are 2 world's firsts: the wavemaking Boogie Bahn Surfing Ride and the Master Blaster uphill water coaster, which sends passengers racing in the dark for a face-to-face encounter with a dragon," says Arthur Levine. "Thanks to the industry pioneers behind the circa-1979 Texas landmark, both attractions have become staples at many other parks." Some of Schlitterbahn's waterslides empty into the river that meanders through the park.
Looking for a twisted new ride to try this summer? Hop on the Twisted Colossus, which has 5,000 feet of wood and steel track, making it the longest and most innovative hybrid coaster in the world — well, according Six Flags Magic Mountain. The park excels in thrills and roller coasters. "Superman: Escape From Krypton is my favorite ride in the world," says Bert Kreischer. "I spent the entire summer shooting a series for Travel Channel at this park, and every single day at sunset, the entire crew and I would meet at the 415-foot tower for 1 last ride before the park closed." In addition to coasters, the park has other fun rides and activities, including the Tidal Wave, Roaring Rapids, Daffy's Adventure Tours, Justice League meet and greets, and the Looney Tunes Kids Club Show.
Cool down at Splashin' Safari Water Park after you hop on the new $22-million Thunderbird roller coaster at Holiday World. Splashin' Safari – part of the Holiday World theme park – is one of the best water parks in the country. "It features 2 of the largest hydromagnetic water coasters in the world," says Robb Alvey. "The Mammoth and the Wildebeest coasters have consistently ranked as the best water-park rides in the country." In addition to these amazing attractions, this park also provides a variety of fun family amenities, such as Monsoon Lagoon, the Bahari Wave Pool and Hyena Falls. Guests get a few more perks, including free parking, soda, Wi-Fi and sunscreen. There's never a dull — or dry — moment at Splashin' Safari!
Wet 'n' Wild Hawaii might simply be one of the best water parks in the country. It's an absolute must if you're visiting Oahu. The new Waimea Whirl — opening this summer — is among several water thrills packed into the 29-acre park, which has to compete with some of the best beaches in the world. "The park is not only known for the Hawaiian Waters Wave Pool and Da' Flowrider, where you can practice surfing, but it's also known for the incredible ride Shaka," says Bert Kreischer, host of Travel Channel's Trip Flip and Bert the Conqueror. "The 2-person inner tube plummets down more than 4 stories, and the ride isn't over until gravity and inertia are done with you." Grab the kids, pack a few towels, and head away from the beach to Wet 'n' Wild.


At the end of every month, you need to take a look at what you can do the next month. Being a couple months ahead is even better. You'll have time to look at special days, holidays, seasonal promotions you can run, and more. You can also spend time planning logistics and making sure you have everything you need to make a great video.
It's amazing what a shot list can do for a video shoot. Creating a shot list allows everyone to be organized and on the same page. Yes, some things may change the day of, but you'll have an idea of what you need for every second of the video. Also, determining location, actors, outfits, voiceover and interview questions, and more will keep things streamlined.
Before filming any video, you need to know your goals. This includes how long the video will be, where it will be used, the call-to-action, the emotion it'll evoke, and the information you want to relay. YouTube views aren't always as important as engagement, so make sure everyone has the end goal in sight.
Don't just leave your viewers hanging. Guide them to take the next step after watching your video. A quick call-to-action can do just that. Have them email you, call, go to your website, check out your blog, or subscribe to your channel!
Your branding and posting need to be consistent throughout all of your videos. This may mean a similar tone and topic, or a similar aesthetic. Anyways, consistency and structure are key to keep viewers coming back.

1980 • Action, Comedy, Martial Arts • Hong Kong • Dir. Tony Liu Jun-Guk
Reviewed by Andrew Saroch | Jul 3, 2015
Ko (Tak) is the abused adopted pupil of a prosperous kung-fu school who shows only a passing interest in the things he is being taught. Instead his concentration is occupied by warding off assault from two particularly awkward pupils who are opposed to his part in the clan. Ko's fairly uneventful life is shaken when a wounded fighter staggers into his sleeping quarters, desperately in need of medical attention. The injured man is none other than Chin Tuen Yun (Chen Kuan-Tai), the well-respected master who had vowed to rid the town of the so-called 'Three Evil Masters' – a trio of immoral killers who run the district between them. After sustaining a serious injury to his foes, Chin now needs protecting from the outside world and therefore Ko decides not to tell anyone of his appearance. When this superior fighter regains a measure of strength, he agrees to teach Ko some of his kung-fu skills so that he will be able to counter the physical abuse he endures. Naturally the youngster develops into a more than adequate student and lets his newly acquired aptitude slip, causing a confrontation with his two masters. With him defending Chin against his original master, Ko is expelled by the school and forced out of town. In quick succession Chin Tuen Yun is discovered, killed by the three evil masters and the school is taken over by the aforementioned villains. On hearing the news, Ko rushes back to his home to exact his gradual revenge; the student steps from the shadows to face each of the evil master one by one.
Many will be familiar with the stellar work that Yuen Tak has amassed as one of Hong Kong's finest action choreographers. Such exciting productions as 'Iceman Cometh', 'Dragon From Russia', 'Operation Scorpio' and 'Once Upon A Time In China 3' have all benefited from Tak's superb touch. Therefore it's interesting to see this performer – rarely seen in front of the camera – take the lead role in a Shaw Brothers film. As the hero, Yuen Tak is not only engaging but more than able to amaze with his mixture of acrobatics and kung-fu. Although not often seen in anything more than a cameo (see Angels 2), he seems to enjoy the limelight and handles the situations with the confidence usually shown with more experienced Shaw stars. His role is also a pleasant bridge with that of Chen Kuan-Tai; seeing the veteran star with someone who would represent the cutting edge of local film-making in the future makes enjoyable viewing. Both also have ample opportunity to shine in a series of excellent clashes between the protagonists and antagonists. Stand-out moments include Chen Kuan-Tai's opening battle with all three evil masters and the final retribution of Yuen Tak against Wang Lung-Wei.
Though containing enough reasons to warrant a viewing, 'The Master' is still not as polished as the better films being made by the studio at the time. The weak link overall is director Liu Jun-Guk's handling of the material, something that, while not stopping this from being very entertaining, means that it is slightly uneven. Whereas a better Shaw's director such as Chang Cheh, Liu Chia-Liang or Sun Chong would have dealt with the comedy in a more controlled way, Liu lets it get out of hand. Therefore the over-used comic antics creep into scenes that really could have done without them, undermining the finished product. 4 stars, just.
