pgathriller Posted March 23, 2006 Posted March 23, 2006 Western Playland was an amusement park here in El Paso and is finishing the last touches of there move in New Mexico. I have inside with workers from Western Playland and I found out that the sky ride that I thought was new was actually the old one from Cliff's in New Mexico. It is now yellow and red and the cars have been repainted. Looks as good as new. When the sky ride was at cliffs, was it painted many different colors? I don't think it was but it looks great at Western Playland. I was talking to a worker at the park and learned some cool stuff about the park. If you have any questions about the park let me know because I know just about everything about this place. Sorry I don't have a picture of the ride.
crispy Posted March 23, 2006 Posted March 23, 2006 I was Wondering where that went, although not really sure why Cliff's would need a chair lift ride, considering its size Cliff's also has a train, with one stop
pinkfloydfanatic Posted March 24, 2006 Posted March 24, 2006 When are they going to build a large woodie?
pgathriller Posted March 24, 2006 Author Posted March 24, 2006 ^ A large woodie is going to have to wait for a while. Western Playland took out a major loan for the move and it was really expaensive with all the ground work. The owner is planning to buy 3 new rides by opening day this May but no woodie. Afer those three rides he won't buy any more for about 3 years so he can pay the loans. He want's a wooden coaster and that's one of the reasons why he moved. He now has 75 acres so expect a wooden coaster but not now. He also has plans for a water park! As for Crispy saying that Cliff's was too small for a sky ride, so was Western Playland. The 2 parks were the same size and Western Playland had one at the old park. He kept it there but it was pretty popular. The old Western Playland had a train that only had one station too but now it's moving to the new park and got a new paint job. One worker said it looks great. Can't wait for Western Playland to open!!!
pinkfloydfanatic Posted March 24, 2006 Posted March 24, 2006 Is the park planning to be open year round?
crispy Posted March 24, 2006 Posted March 24, 2006 No, i can understand why they would have the lift ride at the new park, Cliff's was way to small for a ride like that, glad it will get good use Hopefully they can get a great wooden coaster as soon as possible, then I can drive down and ride it, WOOHOO
