King_K. Posted November 13, 2010 Share Posted November 13, 2010 (edited) Santa's has done it again this year. It's a subtle mix of thrill rides, horrible shows and ghetto displays. But I LOVE it. For those of you that aren't from the South Florida area. Santa's is a "World's Largest" Christmas theme park that comes for two month every year. It's basically half-walkthrough displays with a billion lights and half fair midway. It's pretty interesting your first time there. It somewhat gets worse and better every year. I present to you, Santa's Enchanted Forest. What's that in the distance?! Santa's! The vortex of awesome. First display of the night. Reindeer..or just deer? You be the judge. Scrooge display. Looks...so happy. Couple of train displays.. Something seems out of place.. Suck it, Thomas Town. You heard me. Santa with his head not attached to his body. Fun stuff. Alien Santa and Alien Babies. Yeah, seriously. Nights in White Satin?! Largest Christmas tree in Florida. Edited November 14, 2010 by King_K. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King_K. Posted November 13, 2010 Author Share Posted November 13, 2010 (edited) Midway picture and video time. God Bless America I was tempted. Typical Himalaya Random traveling Spinning Tunnel? Never seen this. Boob credit? Ooh, a Zamperla! It was a rough ride actually. Everyone loves a swinger. Pretty insane Mondial Shake. Let's do this. Really crazy. It's the only fair that comes down here that brings it. Time for a little near-death experience. Mighty lonely in here. I have to admit, it's pretty fun. One more candid shot. Food Break! Fried Pork Skin, ftw. Amazing. Bucket-o-Fries was pretty good too. Death slide time. Bueller? Bueller? Mmm, the rust means Quality. Personal Picture Pause. I'm actually deathly afraid of Ferris Wheels. Pretty decent sized midway. Midway #2 One of the lovely sights of South Florida. A Technical Park Street Fighter. Such a short ride cycle though. Yeah, this should be fun. Oh yeah, these are reaaaal hard rockers. Next year's HHN icon. An ACE'er. Most painful ride of the night. I think it bruised a rib of mine. More quality!

Long shot of the forest. Smaaaaaaall head. Biiiiiiiig body. The trees are actually pretty nice. She's a keeper. Snowballs. I'm baaaack. Lots of new lights this year. Alot more LED lights. Cherry Blossom Tree, this was actually gorgeous in person. Only display I really enjoyed. Mistletoe Lane. Heh. BEST. DISPLAY. EVER. So goddamn creepy.. Hahaha. I'm in your closet. Santa Reaper. Do you see it? Bask in his glory. On the way out. See ya next year! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeemerBoy Posted November 14, 2010 Share Posted November 14, 2010 It somewhat gets worse and better every year. I love this quote. Great report. It's been years since I've been, and I miss it for every reason you mentioned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aimster Posted November 14, 2010 Share Posted November 14, 2010 That was fascinating and horrifying at the same time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BarryH Posted November 14, 2010 Share Posted November 14, 2010 (edited) This place is like a car accident -- you know you shouldn't look, but you look anyway! I don't remember the Dr. Seuss classic, "How the Grinch Rocked Christmas." Edited November 14, 2010 by BarryH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King_K. Posted November 14, 2010 Author Share Posted November 14, 2010 I'm don't remember the Dr. Seuss classic, "How the Grinch Rocked Christmas." Santa has like an S&M looking Santa Suit in that display. It's really disturbing. lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

speedmetal Posted November 16, 2010 Share Posted November 16, 2010 It's like Christmas threw up. We have to go! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cal1br3tto Posted November 16, 2010 Share Posted November 16, 2010 That looks delightfully tacky and creepy. I'd definitely go if I had the chance. I like the look of the ride collection. Magnum is my favorite flat ride, and the Windstorm is one of my favorite portable coaster models. Plus there are some fun staples like the Starship, swinging pendulum, and drop tower. Thanks for sharing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King_K. Posted November 18, 2010 Author Share Posted November 18, 2010 Magnum is an amazing flat. It's one of the few rides I re-ride more than 2 times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BarryH Posted November 18, 2010 Share Posted November 18, 2010 It's like Christmas threw up. We have to go! Best quote in this post! I can see the billboard now...

SharkTums Posted November 24, 2010 Share Posted November 24, 2010 I've been to this fair twice and I REALLY love it! Pretty much for all the reasons you posted. It's definitely a place everyone should experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
