    The salt water that comes with ur clams is to rinse the bellys off and get the dirt off before u dip it in the butter. 😁 I live in Rockland Maine. They're having the 76th annual lobster festival as we speak until Sunday. If ur still in Maine u Def should come. There's a HUGE parade tomorrow morning down Maine st in Rockland too. 😊

    Thanks for the new video. That new dark ride is one of the best I have seen. Being new they did a great theming job. The entrance makes you feel like you are checking in to a hotel. The props seem really lifelike and unlike on some older dark rides the scenes you see were very clear and having the ability to shoot at the bad guys adds another element. I hope they have a great success with the new ride. The food you showed makes me want to get into the car and head to Maine for some nice fresh seafood and candy as well as seeing another old style traditional amusement park. Keep on taking us along to see the latest adventures you experience.

    Definitely go to old orchard for fried clams but for a really unique experience go to Portland, you can take a ferry out to the islands and check out battery steel which I believe is on peaks Island. It’s an old abandoned underground fort that you can explore and has cool old rooms and echo chambers, and they occasionally throw events there with art and turn it into a museum. Also the urban farm fermentory in Portland is really great. And j’s oyster bar and the porthole restaurants are not to be missed!

    I stumbled across this while searching for videos of Funtowns original Haunted House from the late 80s- early 90s, and didn't even realize they'd opened a new Haunted attraction. The original is the best Haunt I've ever been to... It was an actual house, an old gothic style manor and had dozens of live actors working daily. I remember my friends and I being truly terrified there as a child, getting lost in a pitch black maze section, and panicking until one of the actors took pity on us and broke character to let us out the emergency exit. 😂 Wish they'd kept it but I can only imagine how expensive the upkeep was on that place.

And of course, all the theming and artwork is of space stuff. The ride you called the Thunderbolt is called the Alpine Express here, and the back half of it is closed in. The theming is, unsurprisingly, snowy mountains, skiers and yetis etc.
