Six Flags Great Escape Buccaneer Beach 2015

The Great Escape opened the Buccaneer Beach at Splashwater Kingdom officially on May 22, 2015

Our family was invited to be VIP's for the day.

There were three grade school children who entered a coloring contest and one a VIP trip for their whole class to join in on the fun as well.

The Startlight foundation was there with a little boy with an illness and his sister. They had the official job of cutting the ribbon to open Buccaneer Beach for everyone.

The first thing we were greeted with was the sound from the Caribbean.

A photo booth full of pirate booty.

Colorful characters from the park

and of course pirates

For lunch we had a buffet fit for a ship full of pirates.

 Now Buccaneer Beach  
The refreshed and re-themed pirate adventure features pop jets, splash pads, children's slides and water elements offering endless water park fun. The expansion to the upper water park includes new pool deck space and increased shaded water park seating. 

 "We are thrilled to rejuvenate this beloved family attraction in Splashwater Kingdom," said Eric Gilbert, park president, Six Flags Great Escape Resort Properties. "The introduction of Buccaneer Beach is in direct response to our guests' feedback and will breathe new life into this historic area of our beautiful water park." 

Bring:
Sunscreen
Towels
Sunglasses



What I would make better: 
more handicapped accessible, bigger seats for those who are on the larger size as well as more benches through out the park for people to sit and rest. 

Just a few of the Attractions at Six FlagsGreat Escape

After fun in the sun at Buccaneer Beach we headed over to

White Water Bay Indoor Water Park

This is the second time we have been here and the kids had just as much fun as the first time. We even got my husband to go into the hot tub and lazy river.

3.4A Apple Certified Rapid Lightning Car Charger

My third child is learning how to drive so we are starting to put things away for her first car. We start with a road hazard bag, GPS, first aide, and products for their tech products that will keep them safe while in their car and their eyes on the road.

We tried the Francois et Mimi car charger out before putting it away for her and it works great, sets up easily and does what it says it will do. When my daughter finally gets her own car she will have a nice package of car care products to start her on her way in the next step in life.

You can purchase this Lightning Car Charger on Amazon.

Bluetooth Earphones

Our family had never had a pair of Bluetooth Earphones until we received these to try out. Awesome is the first thing that comes to mind, no more wires getting tangled or stuck on anything that snags them. 

Comes with a great case for storing everything included. You can custom fit them to your preference and you will have a really good pair of headphones. My husband claimed these as his own. I don't personally use in ear headphones because my ears are delicate but the rest of my family prefers them. 

I would love to see these made in different colors so each family member can have their own without getting them mixed up, other then that I think they are great. My husband would not have claimed them for his own if they weren't good so that is a second opinion that these are good headphones. 

You can purchase these Bluetooth Earphones on Amazon.

CowBell for cheering at sporting Events

My favorite Saturday Night Live skit happens to be the More Cow Bell "Don't fear the reaper" with Christopher Walken, Will Ferrell, and Chis Kattan.  Besides this I always think of Cow Bells when I think of Elsie the Cow from Borden. By the way where did she go?  I also grew up on a farm so cow bells were something I am familiar with since I was just a little one.

This cow bell is going to be used for when my daughter graduates. We told her besides the yells from the family she will be able to tell where we are just by sound. My husband would so like to see my 12 year old who is taking percussion in school to just walk in front of one of the concerts with a cowbell and give a few whacks. Oh boy I am sure there would be laughter galore at least for those who know the skit.

I am not much of a SNL watcher but my husband will show me clips from time to time on YouTube just for laughs and this is one of the few I ask to see over and over again. Sadly I couldn't find a really good copy but my husband is searching and when we get it up I will share it on my YouTube so others can see it who haven't.

This cow bell is much larger then I thought it would be but is made well and will bring much joy to our family over the years.

You can purchase the Cowbell on Amazon which comes in lots of colors.
