Rideslover Posted March 15, 2008 Posted March 15, 2008 Hi, I went down and stop at Fresno to visit my father and my good friends on March 7th. I went to the Rotary Playland and Storybook in the Roeling Park and Zoo at Belmont Ave Fresno, CA and I been on the way to Granite Park to see the lightning bolt roller coaster from Las Vegas was along with log flume. I seen they have flat rides that I seen the Larson Flying Scooter, Zamperla Kang-A-Bounce, Kiddie Train and Disk'O are on site was next to building. I'm sorry about that I don't have no time to visit the Blackbeards Fun Center but I already got late to catch amtrak train and I saw train stopped and I run to hop in the train and I'm catch my breath.
