Brassinthegrass Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 Ahh, so it is a permanent coaster. Hurricane was on a grid of supports, Nice to see we have upgraded to a coaster that will hopefully allow for some grass in the area! I am quite excited to see what this looks like while driving down 110! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vtafro Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 Thanks for the updates, actually looking forward to going back this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GwaziBSRider1 Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 Thanks for the update, Martin! I made a special visit here to ride Hurricane before it was removed, but I unfortunately didn't have any time other than ride it and Ladybug and leave. I'm very excited to come back to ride Turbulence and see the rest of the park! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Genx24 Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 Haven't been to this park since I'm about 10-11 years old. Definitely plan on making a visit this summer to pick up the new credit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brassinthegrass Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 Hello All, Since I have off from work this week, I had the opportunity to have lunch with my mother who works two blocks south of Adventureland, clearly I needed to stop by and grab some pics! Another shot from just outside the fence! Another shot from just outside the fence! Another shot from just outside the fence! Another shot from just outside the fence! I have to admit, I wasn't very pleased by the color scheme, and it doesn't really photograph that well, but in person it looks quite nice... Just not sure how long it will stay that vibrant... Hopefully when the weather stops being so cold we will see more contraction happening soon! Looks like most, if not all the track and supports have been delivered! Here we see most of the tallest supports have been put up! A shot of what I beleve will be the new station and queue area... The park has been vague about its plan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thrillseeker4552 Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 Thanks for sharing! I love the color scheme! The perfect color combinations for a perfect addition to Adventureland. It's nice to see that Sierra Sidewinder isn't the only Mack spinner in the US anymore! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GwaziBSRider1 Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 ^ Definitely! If this one is as good as Knott's, it's definitely going to be a hit! Glad to have a Mack spinner closer to home! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gutterflower Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 Brassinthegrass how easy would it be to get to the park from the Long Island Rail Road? I've just realised the parks open while I am at a wedding in New York. And could possibly make it on Sunday the 12th of April. Assuming the new coaster is open by then Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brassinthegrass Posted February 24, 2015 Share Posted February 24, 2015 Farmingdale station on the LIRR is the closest, there are usually taxis near by... Shouldn't cost you more than a few bucks to get a ride... Fair warning though, sometimes LIRR is hard if your not on the right line, and it could cause you to have to go all the way to Jamaica Queens to transfer! With the weather we've been having, and the speed at which their building this thing, I don't really think it will be open by the time you come sadly...

Brassinthegrass Posted March 7, 2015 Share Posted March 7, 2015 Drove past the park today on my way home. Does not seem like a lot has been going on, but given the fact that we have had multiple days of Stowe the past 2 to 3 weeks, that's not that surprising! Enjoy! Sorry for my finger! I was driving away and people were judging me... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ejot Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 Turbulence started testing on Saturday. Not my video, just found it on youtube. Not too spinny in this run but I'm still very excited. [youtu_be] [/youtu_be] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coasterbill Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 This looks like a lot of fun. I'm not sure if it looks like enough fun to justify sitting in Long Island traffic though. I'm still debating that... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
milst1 Posted May 5, 2015 Author Share Posted May 5, 2015 Park has announced May 22nd as opening day for the coaster. If someone needs help with Long Island Railroad, I can help. I work at the college across the street from Adventureland. School will be out by then, but I plan to come in to work to get some rides in!

Genx24 Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 I hope to get out to Adventureland this summer with my 6 year old cousin. If this addition is anything like Sierra Sidewinder, the park has a winner on its hands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brent York Posted May 6, 2015 Share Posted May 6, 2015 Good to see the Hurricane was saved, as it went to Race City in Panama City Beach FL. http://rcdb.com/12395.htm Unfortunately this place gets terrible reviews. I plan to hit all the coasters in NTC the 2nd week of June. According to coasterbill, I should avoid Long Island (and thus Manhattan I assume) on a weekend? Not sure if I'll be driving or parking somewhere and taking trains. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ejot Posted September 26, 2015 Share Posted September 26, 2015 I noticed Adventureland was open last Wednesday, which I thought was odd, so I drove down hoping for light crowds and lots of Turbulence rides. It was my first visit to the park. Unfortunately, I failed to realize schools were out for the day, so the park was quite busy. Traffic, however, was not bad at all. Neither the Ferris Wheel nor dark ride were open to single riders. The log flume was closed until mid-afternoon, and the family coaster had too long of a line to be worth the wait. Otherwise, I got in all the adult rides. Their Huss Frisbee runs a long, intense program. Actually, all the flats had very generous cycles. Turbulence is a blast. I enjoyed it so much more than anticipated. The first drop and the first hill afterwards are especially awesome, but the whole course really keeps you smiling. It didn't even feel "too short" even though it is actually over quite quickly. I'm at Adventureland! A nice little nook to relax and recharge (your phone and yourself). Really nice scale Eiffel was a drive-thru for the Antique Cars. Turbulence signs #1 & #2 Turbulence signs #3 & #4. track detail This was the best element on the ride. You don't get anything like this on a Maurer or Gerstlauer spinner, both of which this ride outclasses. It looks to me like Huss intended those boobies to be fully on display. Cool flume vehicles. According to the train conductor, this opened up later in the afternoon, but I had to get on the road by then. There are a few spots of very nice landscaping. Pretty footer facades and safety caps for the bolts. I got in two rides, as the wait was over 40min by 1:00. Back row was my preference. Unusual bolts and nuts look more like rebar than standard threads. Nerd shot. It is apparently designed such that evenly loaded cars spin the most. Cannot confirm or deny this. I think the round cars looks really neat going through the course. Like huge M&M's on a coaster lol. Arcade was immaculate. Crowds were out in force, weather was absolutely perfect, low 80's. I always try to grab a ride on any park's train. Tons of funny statues and details along the route, making for a very entertaining ride. Their "Dinosaurs Alive"... I did not. Pepper and tomato plants were growing. No picking the veggies! Va-roooom. You could get up close and very personal with the track in one section. Family coaster looked like it was worth a spin, but not with the line onto the midway. This was pulling into the park as I left. My main objective for the day was actually to pick up some new furniture from Ikea Paramus, where I spotted this awesome clock display. I <3 IKEA.

milst1 Posted September 26, 2015 Author Share Posted September 26, 2015 Sweet report. Love the makeagifs. Too bad I don't know you; I was sitting in my office across the street from the park while you were there. Adventureland is really a nice hidden gem that many enthusiasts ignore, but it's worth a visit. Thanks for the report. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geauga Dog Posted September 26, 2015 Share Posted September 26, 2015 Thanks for the TR. Turbulence seems to be the forgotten new ride of 2015 and it looks like a great ride for its size. I really like the logo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Genx24 Posted September 26, 2015 Share Posted September 26, 2015 I wanted to bring my nephews here this Summer, but I totally forgot they added Turbulence and I brought them to Hershey instead. Oh well, there's always next year. Nice photos, ejot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
larrygator Posted September 26, 2015 Share Posted September 26, 2015 Thanks for the TR. Turbulence seems to be the forgotten new ride of 2015 and it looks like a great ride for its size. I really like the logo. It's a fun ride for Adventureland (better than the SBF Visa spinners), but no reason for it to be mentioned in the same breathe as new coasters at other parks. Especially since so many spinners were added this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Canobie Coaster Posted October 14, 2018 Share Posted October 14, 2018 Are the Legoland parks the only other place I can ride one of those water whip rides? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
milst1 Posted October 14, 2018 Author Share Posted October 14, 2018 I actually think they’re replacing the water whip with a new one, but I didn’t know about the Lady Bug Coaster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
larrygator Posted October 14, 2018 Share Posted October 14, 2018 Are the Legoland parks the only other place I can ride one of those water whip rides? In the US, yes? I believe there is still one at Bakken, but that may be it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
