Photo TR: Enchanted Forest Water Safari!

[odene497]

A few weeks ago, my cousin Lindsey, my mom, her boyfriend, and I went to Echanted Forest, New York's largest water park up in Old Forge. We went for the last two days of operation (Sept. 2nd and 3rd), so it was pretty cold.

 

We climbed Bald Mountain too, a nice hike that we always do when up north.

 

The pictures got kind of messed up, so I can't make them bigger without blurring them. Also some have a misterious black piece cutting out a part of them.

 

Enjoy!

I'll end this with the tiny wave pool.

What are we going to do!

Some crazy card people.

And the Crooked Old Man.

Random people.

All I can say is Terry would have a field day!

Now on to why it's called Enchanted Forest. The original park was all fairy tales like this, all through the woods. We spent a long time walking around here too.

Oh, and this is one of the newer slides too, they did a whole expansion in the back, with this slide, Black River(enclosed), a family raft ride, and a play area.

These were awesome! At one point, when I was stopped at the top, I got a momentum going and flipped my self 18 times in a row! My neck was getting exhausted, so I sat limp, causing me to bash my head on the metal cage, and I still flipped a few more times before stopping.

In the back of the park they have some carnival type dry rides. I wanted to try the Rock-o-Planes, I tried these when I was little but the guy spun us first thing and I asked to get off.

The petting zoo was pretty much the higlight of the park. We spent a few hours in there.

On the train that takes you from one side of the park to another. It derailed a few years back. We came about five feet from hitting a deer that decided to jump across the track at the last minute, and we were going probably 25mph! (they go really fast on the return trip)

The Amazon, it takes you WAY out into the woods, and the thin bottom on the raft makes your butt vibrate as you go. We usually get stuck up on the side by some brick walls. The ride seems so unsafe but is so much fun!

Action shot!

The mat slide is one of my favorites. I just wish it was longer.

Here's another chunk of slides.

Here's the newest ride as of a few years ago, The Shadow. I liked Wild Waters (what used to be there) better.

Us on the lift, and me on the phone.

We arrived at Enchated Forest, always to be greeted by Paul Bunyan! This is taken from the chairlift that goes through the park.

Our place of rest.

I laid in a crack.

There's also a fire tower for people to climb. It always feels like it's going to tip over, being so high up right at the edge of a cliff.

From the top you can see the 7 chain lakes.

Awww, my mom and her boyfriend.

We started with Bald Mountain. It was actually REALLY busy today.

That hike looks pretty cool, I think you would love Yosemite! (assuming you haven't been there recently). Cool tr though, I always end up hurting myself on those upside-down ferris wheel things, too!
