Mantaeus Posted July 9, 2010 Share Posted July 9, 2010 (edited) With temps rising past 95, I decided to head down to Seabreeze to cool off, rather than sweat in my apartment. Despite never living more than 15 miles from the park (even on the same road as the park for a year), I haven't made the short trip since I worked there 12 years ago. Got in for $15 after 5 with a Pepsi can, and decided to hit the water park first. Not much has changed since I've last been, the only real notable addition being a Proslide Bowl. Never had to wait behind more than 5 people on most of the slides, other than the Bowl. For such a hot day, the water park seemed unusually empty. Hit each slide twice, decided it was time for dinner, went to the car, where I proceeded to lock my keys in the trunk. Fast forward 90 minutes after getting a ride back to my apartment to get my spare key. The lady wanted ride the Tilt-a-Whirl, and we got a great ride due to unbalancing the car. Jack Rabbit was next. This ride seems to have improved over the last decade. The trains looked new-ish (refurbished?). The train was flying through the course far faster than I remember, and was proven right when we hit the turnaround. I never had any laterals on that turn before, and they were here now. It tries so hard to give a little air, but just never quite does it. Headed to the other side of the park to get my Whirlwind credit. Fun ride, though it didn't spin much, and we spent the majority of the ride just going sideways. Was amused by the woman in front of us who was so afraid if she left her purse in the station it would be stolen, and nearly didn't ride because of it. After seeing her do this multiple times on various rides, this became a running gag. So, the new ride this year is a Disk'o, Revolution 360. Fun ride, though I regret shifting my position a bit after the restraints locked. Locked tighter on me, and made it hard to take a full breath. Fun ride regardless. The other new addition since my last visit was a Music Express, replacing my beloved Gyrosphere. Sure, it was just a Scrambler in a dome/oven, but it was tradition. Have to admit that the Music Express looks FAR better on the midway. I apologize in advance for the somewhat poor pictures, but my Nexus One just wasn't liking the low light/haze. 5 of the 6 major slides Last of the 6 slides Looking out at Lake Ontario from the waterpark Waiting to get my car unlocked, so Jack Rabbit through th.......no, I won't do it! I refuse! Anyone for a ride on the Jack Rabi? Train. You've seen these. Move along. This is all you get of Whirlwind. Every single picture of the ride came out blurry. Revolution 360, the sign. Revolution 360, the ride. Doing what it does. Jack Rabbit at dusk Nerd sh.......NO! Looking down the midway from the Bobsleds.

Mantaeus Posted July 9, 2010 Author Share Posted July 9, 2010 Yeah, it's a pretty standard Maurer Söhne spinning coaster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
