Corkscrew Posted July 13, 2009 Posted July 13, 2009 I just got back from a family trip down to Oregon, and while down there, we went up to Long Beach in Washington. As we were driving along, I noticed a Carousel off the side of the road, so I had to check it out... This sign pretty much sums up how ghetto the place is. ...and this thing. ...as did the Spider... The Rock-O-Plane seemed to be down for some minor repairs... Nevermind. This looks promising. ...which was, oddly enough, the nicest looking ride. The park also features a Tilt-A-Whirl... But patrons didn't have the chance to risk their lives today as the ride was deserted. And some rather beat-up Bumper Cars. Next to the Carousel is this wonderful contraption. On closer inspection it seems a whole section of horses and much of the decoration are missing. At first glace the Carousel looked nice. Rides! I must investigate...
Huge_Wonderland_Fan Posted July 13, 2009 Posted July 13, 2009 Oh my god, this place looks amazing... Must... Go... NOW !
FlyingScooter Posted July 13, 2009 Posted July 13, 2009 Wow, when i saw the Tilt a Whirl, i thought it was conneaut...
Crazy_Behemoth_Lady_Jess Posted July 13, 2009 Posted July 13, 2009 Wow, when I thought Playland was neglected! That looks very ghetto indeed. That "Ferris Wheel" looks more like a Roll-O-Plane with the pods removed. Speaking of which, I just rode one yesterday. Did you ride the Tilt-A-Whirl? Those things are fun!
Kennyweird Posted July 13, 2009 Posted July 13, 2009 Oh, boy. It looks like they're just swimming in money. BTW, the "ferris wheel", as you called it, is actually a Rock-O-Plane. I remember riding one at the Pitcairn fair a few years ago.
cal1br3tto Posted July 13, 2009 Posted July 13, 2009 What a find! Immediately reminded me of Thrill-Ville. Right down to the pod-less Rock-O-Plane. (I've missed out on two local Rock-O-Planes now? What? Plus I think the Thrill-Ville one is the one that used to be rented out to the Puyallup Fair...) Makes me wonder if Thrill-Ville is accessible for exploring. I think I've seen a post-closure trip report somewhere out there. So was this place open, or closed? I can guess...but it would be really funny if it were open! <--Edit: Never mind, I saw a couple clues that it's open...WOW.

I remember riding one at the Pitcairn fair a few years ago. It crossed my mind for a second that it could be a Rock-O-Plane, but I wasn't sure. Thanks, I've edited the TR now.

I saw Thrill-Ville a couple days before seeing this 'park' and I have to agree, the two look quite similar. One just happens to be operating : p
