What better way to spend April Fools Day than doing some credit whoring on the only real amusement park on Long Island?

 

After a few days of delay, our family got the opportunity to go to the only place on Long Island that has anything close to major roller coasters, even if there are only two. We weren't expecting any big lines since the park has been branded as a dump, but big shocker: the place was more than full because of some Passover get-together (on April 1 of all dates). Every last ride in the place was more than full, had waits of at least 30 minutes, and sometimes it was so packed that I could hardly move without bumping into someone. Some people even asked the staff if this was the busiest day of the year (even though their season just began). But I only needed to go on two coasters and one flat, so it wasn't that torturous. We were in and out within three hours, including a stop at Wendy's for lunch.

 

Ride Count: Hurricane 1x

Ladybug Coaster 1x

Frisbee 1x

 

Pictures:

Alright, we're finally here, we'll be in & out in no time!

 

Oh poop...

 

Generic Flat #1

 

Generic Flat #2

 

Generic Fla- You get the idea

 

A surprisingly decent ride

 

Only one train holding 12 people at a time and a line with at least 100? FAIL

 

I lost the staring contest.

 

Standard Tivoli, but it's relaxing to ride.

 

Another look at the steel mess that is the Hurricane.

 

Believe me, it looks much dirtier in real life.

 

*insert corny line about being the "curviest" thing in the park*

 

This was actually my first time on a HUSS Frisbee.

 

The new Haunted House that will open later this year.

 

Its queue is still under construction.

 

Tell me you don't want to give him a high-five!

 

Note to self: Get better camera.

 

Cars for the new Haunted House: Creepy? Rascist? Both?

 

Thanks for reading!

Nice TR. I remember hearing Adventureland the movie couldn't be filmed there because it was nothing like it was in the 80s (from Greg Mottola's perspective atleast). Maybe that should be taken as a compliment considering the movie saw working at Adventureland as the worst job ever, haha...

I also thought the Hurricane wasn't that bad. Nice pictures man.
