Long Description:
This roller coaster was manufactured in 1972 and
has been in use here since 1994. it is a "sit-down" model and
composed of steel. Zierer (Zierer is a German company that
manufactures Tivoli and Force line of roller coasters) is the
manufacturer of the coaster. It is a single car which seats two,
back to front. The ride coasts 4 tickets. The height restriction is
42 inches, or an average 5 and half year old.
Originally established in 1959, this fantastic amusement park
features over thirty exciting rides for the whole family, including
roller coasters for all ages, bumper cars, an old-fashioned train,
a tilt-a-whirl, and log flume.
This amusement park has less baby rides than
Wonderland Pier a few blocks away, also on the boardwalk. These
rides are mostly geared toward the teen crowd and a little younger.
Rides cost tickets which can be purchased at various booths located
throughout the park. 1 ticket costs $1. We purchased 44 tickets for
$30 and used our credit card. The more you buy the better the cost.
The have a family plan too if you plan on coming down week after
week, like my children do.
When you first enter, there is an arcade with
all sorts of fun stiff under a roof, so if it rains, you got it
covered. They have four of those coin operated rides, an old
fashioned penny smashing machine, a Zoltar fortune telling machine,
many first person arcade/video games, basketball, skeeball, and
everything else you would expect to find at America's Greatest
Family Resort.
In addition to the roller coaster, there is the
Tilt-A-Whirl, Bumper Cars, Antique Cars, old-fashioned Train and
Log Flume ride, and all manner of attractions to make you vomit and
spew on yoru neighbor. My five year old went on a ride called the
Hurricane which scared the bejeebers out of me. He loved it, I got
sick watching.
