Niagara Falls / Marineland TR

[coasterfreak101]

OK, so my family and I go up to NY to visit family every summer and winter. We've been going to Niagara the past 2 times and this time Im putting up a TR(YAY me)!

 

On Tuesday June 28th we went up to Niagara. My mom and I got onto the Maid of the Mist V. (photos soon). We hung out at the hotel, Mariott Courtyard and got in the pool with the best slide ever! It was like 2 1/2 turns. good times! We did mini-golf in the dark, an observation tower, and other stuff.

 

On Wednesday we went over to Marineland! I guess bugging the parents works after awhile! I went and we got on the kiddie coaster and Dragon Mountain. Robb said DM was boring in the 2003 video, but they let off the brakes after the loops and before the 2nd tunnel. I did that 3 times. On the Tivoli Coaster, though, i felt like Elissa sitting next to a kid trying to get a credit! lol

 

Marineland has cool stuff, including:

an awesome 4loop coaster, a kids coaster, a few swing-like rides, a dolphin/walrus/seal show, a deer petting zoo, a killer whale petting area, a beluga whale petting area, and some kids rides!

 

If you're ever up in Ontario, Marineland is worth the time to visit! I'll put photos up ASAP!

I love Marineland, but the rides are spread so damn far apart. I don't mind the walking, but filling in that space would be a great thing.

 

Did you get to go on Sky Screamer? That's definately my favorite S&S tower complex, great view of the falls.

 

The Clifton Hill area is going to be greatly improved over the next couple of years. Another amusement park is going to built around the arcade/midway and an enclosed slide complex will be built onto the casino.

 

If you like walk-through haunted houses, there's about a dozen scattered across the area.

I'm not a real tower person. I got on Demon Drop at CP and I liked it. I just cant imagine higher than that! I know, its sad! lol. I think thats really cool how they can fit a full theme park in that area. Maybe next summer Ill go and post another TR. I really just do the rides and coasters, not a fan of towers and haunted crap!

And about the huge park having like 1 ride every acre, that sucks. They could upgrade, but I think they may wanna stay with the scenery, unlike SeaWorld(s) that fill in every last inch with a big somethng!

I hear ya on the towers. Too this day they and ferris wheels are the only things that I'll ride, but feel uncomfortable while doing so.

 

It's not so much the heigh tpart, it's being stopped at the top that I hate.

Thankyou ECZenith! I hesitate with ferris wheels ever since i got on one at a fair, ur feet basically dangled, and i stopped at the top cause the thing broke down! SCARY:)
