Hercules Posted January 9, 2014 Share Posted January 9, 2014 I really wish this park would get more recognition for their food. They actually do a drive-thru type thing for Easter dinners. You can drive your car through to the back of the park, pay, and get a big Easter dinner. They say they go through over 2,000 dinners during the few hours they are open doing so. Really neat.

thrillrider Posted January 11, 2014 Author Share Posted January 11, 2014 Update!!! I was just at a local Meijers store, and they carry the Delgrosso's spaghetti sauce. This is the fist time I have seen the sauce outside of the park. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hercules Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 That's cool. Hopefully you bought it! I believe their regular sauce is in something like 41 states and their La Famiglia sauce is in something like 37 states at this point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hercules Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 You can get the La Famiglia in places like Whole Foods and ShopRite here in the Northeast. It is the more expensive sauce, but man is it good. Just a note about DelGrosso's for this year - the park will be getting rid of their arcade for 2014. They will no longer be leasing the space for the arcade and will be turning the area into a large gift shop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DenDen Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 My mom will use ONLY Del Grosso sauces... Anyway, hate to hear that Space Odyssey is gone. That caterpillar came from West View Park. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thrillrider Posted January 16, 2014 Author Share Posted January 16, 2014 I can't confirm 100% that it is gone, but that has been what I was told. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only jarred sauces that come in to this house are DelGrosso's (I have a connection at the plant ) and Raos. Anything else is not good enough. We make our own gravy in this house!

thrillrider Posted January 16, 2014 Author Share Posted January 16, 2014 Your actually able to buy it in the park as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
molemaster43 Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 I can't confirm 100% that it is gone, but that has been what I was told. The ride is no longer on the park map and is no longer listed on the website (which they just revamped, by the way). I heard that the building was torn down.

Myself Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 In 2012, there was a sign in front of the area indicating "construction for your future enjoyment", but this past summer the sign as well as the old queue line had disappeared: I had also heard rumors of the go-karts and mini golf being removed for water park expansion, and there were two survey marks on the path to the bridge on that side.

thrillrider Posted January 17, 2014 Author Share Posted January 17, 2014 That's a shame it's gone. It seems like parks everywhere are getting rid of unique attractions in favor of cookie cutter rides. The exception being coasters and dark rides.

coasterbill Posted January 17, 2014 Share Posted January 17, 2014 It seems like parks everywhere are getting rid of unique attractions in favor of cookie cutter rides. The exception being coasters and dark rides. I agree with this but completely understand why they're doing it from a maintenance standpoint. The good news for people that live near Delgrossos is that they're between Knoebels and Kennywood which are both living museums of rare flat rides.

It is easier to get it from my guy though Do you have to meet him in dark alleys and give him unmarked bills in a brown paper bag? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hercules Posted January 17, 2014 Share Posted January 17, 2014 Nah. I walk in to the park office and walk out with a couple of cases. Not a bad arrangement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thrillrider Posted January 19, 2014 Author Share Posted January 19, 2014 Hmmm...could it finally be a coaster,or another spin and puke? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CCI Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 As a former Altoona native and only living 3 or so miles from the park It's really nice to see a good TR of it, It makes me want to go visit next time I go up north. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thrillrider Posted January 22, 2014 Author Share Posted January 22, 2014 We are actually planning a trip to Pennsylvania parks for next summer. Delgrosso"s and lakemont parks are on the list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thrillrider Posted January 28, 2014 Author Share Posted January 28, 2014 I woulden't count a coaster out quite yet. A portable coaster wold only take a few weeks to install. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
