Cuban Amusement park,well sort of!

[doom1001]

I came upon this and felt the need to share what an amusement park/fair looks like in a country that's been isolated from the world for like 50 years.Kind of amazing and makes you appreciate everything you have.

I've seen my fair share of ghetto coasters, but that is the most ghetto coaster I have ever seen, it seems to have less craftsmanship than the Blue Flash!!! Although you can't blame them since it's in a country that has been cut off from a lot of the world. Good find though

I heard this place was getting a new ride next year, this photo was taken from the parking lot.

Should fit right in!

From the Box... I mean Crate it looks like it is going to be a Hollywood Rip Ride Rocket clone. It even has a simular name.

Wait a minute! I thought Pharaoh's Lost Kingdom closed a while back.

That place looks great! Will TPR be taking a trip there sometime soon?

 

Dan - I love how all the rides look like they were made from coathangers.

Well I wonder...does anyone else think that coaster is probably smoother than a Vekoma?

Seeing that most island-based Cubans live in dire poverty, this is a little bit of solace to their daily lives. Sure, it maybe ghetto to us, but to them, its an escape from whats around them. Don't be so harsh kids, take stock you live in free countries and have food in your gut, clothes on your back and a warm bed to sleep in at night...

Gives a new meaning to the Bench Ride.
