It's my favorite kind of park. It's got classic rides and a boardwalk feel. The Rock-O-Plane & G-Force Rotor (Devil's Hole) are both similar to rides that used to be at Martin's Fantasy Island. They've also got a Tip Top where you can go spin crazy. Here's my nephew Mason, my Dad, and my niece Makenna on the Tilt-A-Whirl.
Thanks to a group called The Atmostheatre Players wandering around, you almost feel like you're at the amusement park in the 1940's! They'll be performing at the park Thursdays - Sundays throughout the summer. Click on the picture to the right to see a short video of their work.Mason made it about five minutes before he finally burst out the secret to the magic trick lol. And Makenna got to take part in a faux movie with one of the actors later in the day.
It was my brother's birthday that day and he was supposed to ride the Rock-O-Plane with me, but chickened out. I can't blame him. Anyone who knows me is well aware that if you go on a spin ride that I can control, you will most likely end up sick.
But I did get at least one of his kids on the Laffland ride (a classic ride from 1954). Me and Christine didn't remember it being so dark though! Poor Mason was a little freaked out. Here's video of him at the end of the ride. Christine says his eyes were closed throughout all of it - oops. But I wasn't staying with the kids that night, so any nightmares wouldn't have affected my sleep. :)
