bubala Posted July 29, 2011 Share Posted July 29, 2011 I took a ride to Maine yesterday to grab a few new credits at Funtown Splashtown in Saco, Maine and Palace Playland in Old Orchard Beach, Maine. Both parks were well worth the trip! (About 3 hours from my hotel in Enfield, Connecticut.) I'll let the pictures do the 'splainin... It's a fun... and splashy town! Yay! Another woodie! There is a much higher percentage of woodies in New England! Excalibur is a fun little twister that blends nicely in to the trees and woods that surround it. This is not the first coaster that I have been on with a castle around it. 100 feet to the top... Fun! Funtown Splashtown has a great collection of flat rides. I love the theming on this Trabant! It almost made me want to ride it... almost. Wait! What's that hiding over there behind those buildings? Why, it's a Maurer Söhne Wild Mouse... Meh! Wheeeeee! Hey man, thanks for the tip! I am so not used to "freestyle" bumper cars. Back home, they only let you go in one direction. I love this dragon! The theming for Dragon's Descent was done very well! I was told that the view from the top of this one was incredible. You can see the Atlantic Ocean! The line was too long for me to wait though. Must... ride... coasters! Whereas this picture is not all that exciting to me, I am including it for the benefit of others. Mario? Luigi? I think I'm going to fit right in here! Next stop, Palace Playland! Um, okay... If you're into that sorta thing... Zamperla has got it going on! Why is this slide called the Euro Slide? Is it uncut? Time for some Galaxi goodness! One of my first coasters 30-something years ago was the Galaxi at Kings Dominion. Pretty sun through the coaster shot! More prettiness. Oh, yes I did! I'm a total credit whore. Oh, did I mention that there is a beach here? Hello? Homeland Security? I have a tip for you... Another big wheel that I cannot ride. I need some friends! *sniff* I'm too sexy for this ride... Or, maybe it's the other way around. I originally refused to ride this when I got to the park, but I changed my mind and rode it. It wasn't that bad! I originally refused to ride this when I got to the park, and I did not change my mind! Troika? Troika? Troika?!? A friend suggested that I get a lobster roll while I was in Maine. I did... That is all. No Dogs Allowed! Hey! I said no dogs allowed! Yay! A penny smasher! Booooooo! Decisions, decisions. Um... No comment. Like JJ says... Funtown Splashtown and Palace Playland were Dy-No-Mite! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
