    Hopefully they get a new train from Vekoma and some other upgrades.  Aftershock at Silverwood Theme Park seems to run with minimal issues.

     

    It looks like Frontier City is removing Thunder Road Raceway (Go-Karts).  There is a wood fence blocking off the area from the path in the park and the fence between Thunder Road Raceway and the maintenance area was removed.  It is unclear if Renegade Rapids, which is next to this area, will also be removed.

    The Go Carts are not on the website, therefore, I think they are safe as gone.

  8. Idlewild Closed For 2021 Season?

    I will be pretty bummed if that's the case, I have been meaning to go there for a few years, but held off until management could get everything open (Rollo Coaster being down for a few years). I haven't been there since the late 1990s.

     

    I have a feeling this may be it for Parques as the owner here, perhaps they might be in some major financial distress and frankly, I hope they sell the PGH parks they have held hostage for 15 years. In that time, they have drove them into the ground.

     

    Here is some footage of Idlewild's hay day ->

    Great video, I have wanted to visit Waldameer if I was ever close to Erie.

     

    The kiddie bumper boat operator looks like it's a tough job to have to stand in the water the entire time although I guess on a day with hot weather it would be good.

     

    Ravine Flyer 2 is worth the drive.... sadly - the bumper boats are loooonnnggg gone.

  12. Waldameer Park - 1991

    Have some old VHS footage I converted to Youtube today. It is of Waldameer Park in Erie, Pa in 1991. Obviously, I can't remember much of this as it was 30 years ago, but surely if you enjoy old, small amusement parks, you will love this.

     

    If you never heard of Waldameer before this, i strongly encourage you to check out Ravine Flyer 2 and make the trip out. It's worth it!

    For Great Adventure: 

    My top choice is Twister, second would be making the Safari a third gate again.

     

    I think Golden Kingdom has a few years left. However, based off the removal of Volcano when it probably had a longer service life, it might end up being closer to 2025 than 2030 (but by then for sure).

     

    A part of me wants to remove El Toro, but a part of me wants to expand the area with a Day of the Dead Dark Ride and a Zamerla Endevour called El Sombero. 

     

    Why would you remove El Toro? It's typically a rated as a top 5 coaster in the world.
