So glad you were able to visit Adventureland! Some fun facts: >The tree at the front of the park was animatronic, used to talk, and was on top of the original haunted house, 1313 Cemetery Way. A picture of this ride can be seen from the train at 13:56. They also did some cosmetic restorations to the tree a few years ago. >The two characters on the trashcan are the park's former mascot, Albert Adventureland, and current mascot, Alfie Adventureland >The clown vehicles were from a former children's ride, Flying Clowns >The crocodiles were from Crocodile Run, a water ride that was re-themed into Alfie’s Rescue Boats a year or two ago
Oh. My. GOD! This was my childhood park! I stopped going at a certain age, but this still holds a special place in my heart. I hope you had a great time at my childhood classic park!
I'm so glad you got over your fear of rollercoasters a few years back, and are genuinely enjoying them now. Thank you for showing us all these amazing places.
Good ol' Adventureland. Went there as a little kid, a teenager, and now as an adult taking my nieces there. Lot of good memories, a true Long Island landmark.
Why is it that you go to my hometown after I leave the country to live abroad? I spent every summer as a child at Adventureland and watching this brought back great memories. Thanks so much for this, Jacob!
Amazing that so many of live or grow up around Adventure Land. I actually dated the original owners grandson. Long time ago. Now my nephews love this park and we have season passes. So many memories from the 80s when my friends and I came a lot on the weekends. I can ramble on and on but I will just say it’s cool seeing this on you tube. Glad you enjoyed 😃
Those clowns used to be part of a kids ride where they were all attached to fake balloons and spun around, as were the alligators who at one point were the ride vehicles for those spinning boats. The rattler opened as the ladybug with the same layout but ladybug ride seats. That tree with the face on it was once part of the parks haunted house 1313 cemetery way which was a pretty large haunted house and the parks premier attraction upon opening in the 80s. They started inside the ride along with among other things a giant 10+ foot king Kong animatronic but they were both moved to outside the ride in the mid 2000s where the tree would warn guests of the dangers that lay inside. In later years people complained the haunted house was too dark and didn't have enough going on inside it and so it was replaced.
Adventureland! This park has always been a huge part of my life since I love so close by. Glad you got to visit my home of Long Island and Adventureland! And since you were wondering about the scattered ride vehicles, the clowns were from a kiddie ride called "Flying Clowns" which was a favorite of mine when I was little. The crocodiles were from a ride called "Crocodile Run" which was the same thing as the Rescue boats, the crocodiles were just the old ride vehicles. As for those boats you saw on the train, those were just older boats for the Adventure Falls flume. Also, the Eiffel Tower on the antique cars was from another old kiddie ride. Just out of curiosity, planning on seeing anything else on Long Island? Montauk? The Duck?
I don’t know why but every time you ride a roller coaster I feel so proud and inspired to do things that scare me. I know you used to be so scared of roller coasters and I’m really proud of you for overcoming your fears.
Oh wow, I haven't been to adventureland in years!!! Disney is now my home park but I was born in NY and grew up going here and have some really fond memories. My parents have good memories of going here as well, my grandpa used to live pretty much across from it! Also my favorite rides there are the one that goes super fast and plays music, and the one with the alligators.
I can tell you everything you need to know about this park I grew up here from when Twisted sister played to were music and lyrics was shot great local park. By the way the footage looked amazing. And that tree outside use to be part of the original haunted house it use to talk and have corny jokes if your on long island you need to check out splash splash, the Long Island Game Farm ,the Bayville Adventuer park, Tiki Action park, Playland park , wild play Jones Beach, and Long Island Adventuer park
Adventureland is one of my favorite small parks. I’ve lived near it for my whole life and so has my dad. The flume ride has been there for so long. My dad went on it when he was 10. That was over 40 years ago ! So amazing seeing it get the recognition it deserves
Oh shit! My friend and I went here last week! I never went to this park as a child. I had only ever heard of it as an adult and went for the first time a few years ago. It’s a precious little park that gives me the warmest nostalgia for Long Island summers I have never experienced as a native Staten Island boy.
The clown vehicles were from an old kiddy spinning ride. The alligators were the previous vehicles for the speed boat ride. The haunted house was originally The Haunted Cave… then 1313 cemetery way (my absolute favorite even though it’s was broken down as shit 😂). It then was replaced by that weird Asian rickshaw dark ride that you once did a video on!! I couldn’t believe it when I saw you on it lol. Also fun fact the space was originally a broccoli farm! Thanks for checking out Adventureland! Made my day
Man, brings back memories of going here as a kid! Cool to see you in my hometown! As far as the clown cars, if my memory serves me correctly it is almost like a swing ride that went in a circle. The clowns hand held in and you went in a circle. Crazy memories!
This fantastic park was part of the stomping grounds from my youth! There used to be the most amazingly cheesy dark ride called ‘1313 Cemetery Way’. We would ride it over and over again. I haven’t been back in years, but I think you went past one of the old props inside the current one. Great times!!!
I love the work you do Jacob and when you go to attractions or dark rides, you record the whole thing. Having only been to the USA for Disney and Universal, I had no idea there were so many amusement parks and other great attractions there. There is so much to see. Thank you again so much for doing what you do! Just a quick comment about Adventureland, I find they have a few issues with their theming. It seems to be all over the map. The best thing about the Mysterious Mansion was the cool overhead ride vehicle. On the outside with all the 🕷spiders and the ride vehicle having a big spider on it, you would have thought you were about to enter a spider's haven, instead there were everything from mummies to skeltons with guitars randomly placed throughout with no real decor.I seems such a shame. I hope this evolves into something better because the building is an amazing design and the ride vehicle is one of the best ones I've seen. I've found some of the older, non corporate built ones you have been to were better. Anyways, just a comment. Keep on going to these amazing places. You are the best. Others don't do it as well as you do. All the best always.
Growing up on the Island we always went either to Great Adventure in Jersey, The Great Escape in Lake George, or Playland. Adventureland was fun but I miss the old haunted house. Are you going to Boomers ex Bullwinkles or Splish Splash?
Michael Arnold, the Haunted House dark ride is still at Adventureland. It definitely has some wear but it’s still a good ride. They moved the Gorrila? a few years ago I saw, animatronic out of it, and put it on top of a “rock” climbing wall. Guessing he stopped working but it definitely looks neat where it is now :).
OMG! Jacob, I can not THANK YOU enough for this video! I grew up on Long Island and Adventureland was such a part of my life back in the 80s and 90s as a kid (would go either 1 or 2 times every summer) and also a part of my adult life since I would drive pass it on Rte110 from my commute to and from work every single day. Sooo many things about this video made me super happy but also sad. It's nice to see that they updated the park and kept the classic rides that make Adventureland "Adventureland" such as The Pirate Ship, Antique Cars, Musical Express, The Swings, The Train, and The Ferris Wheel. Such memories especially of the Pirate Ship...it was ALWAYS the first ride we would go on since it was right off the entrance of the park from the parking lot. Rode that one hundreds of times always on the last row which gave maximum height that resulted in adrenaline rushes that set the mood and excitement for the rest of your time in the park. They had the miniature golf over there also before they put the log flume there. Alfie's Rescue Boats used to be bumper boats..which I never went on the bumper boats because I was afraid I was going to get stuck floating in the middle of the water. I just remembered in that area, it always smelt like exhaust because they were gas powered and the water was NOT clear...it was murky. It's nice to see that they updated and changed out the kiddie roller coaster...the one they had when I was I kid (which I think the carts were either a catapiller or ladybugs), the track was one circle that was about 6ft off the ground with little dips in it so you would go up and down alittle bit as it went around. The last time we ever went on that, it got stuck in one of the dips and didnt have enough power to make it out. To get the cart to move and "rescue" us kids, a bunch of dads jumped the fence where the track was and pushed it to the loading station where us kids got off. The ride(s) to the right of the Musical Express (that I remember) that they would switch out through the years for new thrill rides was The Gravatron, The Looping Star, Surf Dance. The 2 things that broke my heart in this video was to see that they changed out and updated the haunted house...but very glad to see they kept the haunted tree...that has been around FOREVER! And the 2nd thing that broke my heart was not seeing the roller coaster "Hurricane"...we would ride that lots of times. It was a bit jerky and rattle you around, but it was so much FUN! Such memories of this small little local amusement park. And I'm so delighted after ALL THESE YEARS, (and the pandemic), that this Long Island treasure is STILL up and running!❤😁❤ So THANK YOU JACOB for covering this little gem in your adventures!
That swing ride...back in 2005 a woman catapulted into the parking lot when her harness gave way. The same week an operator of a roller coaster was run over. Glad you didn’t try that one. Nunley’s was in Baldwin, LI and closed in 1995. Was the first carousel I rode back in the late 60s. The carousel is preserved at the Cradle of Aviation Museum in Garden City, LI.
Nunley's was a small amusement park in Baldwin, NY on long Island. It had a handful of kiddie rides, a small arcade, a mini golf course and a beautiful Stanley Carousel. It sadly closed back in 1995 and the land where it stood is now a Pep Boys auto store. They restored the Carousel a few years ago and you can still ride that on Museum Row near the Ceadle of aviation and long Island children's museum.
Because of Jacob's inspiration, my mom and I frequently go to our local dark rides. It's a great bonding experience and thank you for your stellar content, sir.
They changed quite a few rides over the years. Last time I was there was late 2004. Now, if you haven't already, you need to visit Cliff's Amusement Park here in Albuquerque, NM. Very similar to Adventureland.
I can identify most of those ride pieces . Don’t remember the name of the clown ride but they used to have umbrellas attached to them. The Eiffel Tower on the antique cars used to be on a kiddie motor way. And those are not alligators, they are CROCS! That rescue boat ride used to be a crocodile spin of sorts. The ride announcement had a very thick Australian accent! You do have control over the boats, you can decided whether or not they go inwards or outwards. Also all of those crocs have names! The upstairs of the carousel has been closed for a long time! Also I believe that bright blue ox is refered to as a bull because there is a town on Long Island that has a large statue of a bull that is similar in color (smithtown)! Also the rattle snake coaster is just a reskin of the lady bug. The cars used to be Lady Bugs! It’s cool to see that the haunted house is still kinda crappy, even if it is a new building! You missed the peak of that ride which must’ve been almost ten twelve years ago, with the animatronic that used to vomit into a trash can outside! He is the real adventure land mascot in my opinion!
I miss the old haunted house. That was my childhood. I barely remember what the inside of the ride was because I would always have my eyes closed lol. I can still hear the tree and the owl having their discussion about a man with a chainsaw. And the two skeletons riding a bike on a suspension wire between the haunted house and the rollercoaster.
Yay! You're in my neck of the woods. Lived on Long island for my whole life, almost 30 years. And I think I have only come here once or twice! Can't wait to watch this video.
Hey Jacob, loved seeing you at my home park! In case you were wondering, all of the alligators used to be the vehicles for the Jetski ride. They swapped them out a year or two ago. The rattlesnake ride also used to be a ladybug ride.
I grew up in Farmingdale. So glad you got to check out the Park! A lot has changed , it’s been sanitized and rebuilt but the thread remains . The Tree in front of the Mystery Mansion which was prior named The Haunted House, used to have a prerecorded conversation with another character voice on the ride. The tree had a line about “Chainsaws! I don’t like Chainsaws” that every kid knew who ever visited the park. Glad to see the Tree beat the chainsaw.
I'm so happy you finally come to visit Long Island! Hope you check out the Atlantis Aquarium, the rest stop on the 51 and the giant Duck! Some others place also to check out is the Cradle of Aviation, The Tesla factory which is slowly being built into a museum near east Shoreham and Bayville park which they do their haunted houses for Halloween!
Thanks for taking one for the team by riding that spinning roller coaster 🤢 I like how the rides are different and interesting to look at and all the decorations around, the hanging cars on the dark ride are new to me, what a neat park!
That’s pumpkin is part of the original park. Like most things. Adventure Land was twice the size that it is now when I was a kid. Used to have a huge slide in the back and pony rides.
You're in my old stomping grounds. I'll be in NY in September. Nunley's has been gone a long time. My parents took me there all the time when I was little. They had a huge carousel there in Baldwin.
This was great, glad to see you at our home park. When you were on the dark ride one of the figures you asked who is that...well that is an interesting story. In one of your older videos from a few years ago you rode a rickshaw themed dark ride, before Adventureland had the dark ride you just rode that rickshaw ride was actually at Adventureland and that figure was left behind from that ride. We are excited to see what other NY parks you go to. Hoping to see Rye Playland in the next few days from you, that is our all time favorite park and has so many great dark rides.
YESSS MY HOME PARK FINALLY!!! Adventureland doesn’t get much attention, it fills me with so much nostalgia :”D
I was wondering when he would hit Long Island! Yay! I love this park. My mom & Grandpa took me & my brother there often when we were little
Same I saw this and I’m like yes! He made it to my area!
Lawn Guyland in da house!
So glad you were able to visit Adventureland! Some fun facts:
>The tree at the front of the park was animatronic, used to talk, and was on top of the original haunted house, 1313 Cemetery Way. A picture of this ride can be seen from the train at 13:56. They also did some cosmetic restorations to the tree a few years ago.

Chainsaw?!? I don't like chainsaws!!!
They don’t have the advencher falls and the pirate ship
Your face after that spin rollercoaster told me everything I needed to know about that ride. 😄
I think that's the best way to describe it 🤣 Poor Carpetbagger, his eyes were nearly still spinning as he left it 👀🤣🤣
Turbulence
It might seem scary but it’s actually really fun lol
Major Props for remembering to say "On" Long Island and not "In" for someone out of town. haha
Oh. My. GOD! This was my childhood park! I stopped going at a certain age, but this still holds a special place in my heart. I hope you had a great time at my childhood classic park!
I'm so glad you got over your fear of rollercoasters a few years back, and are genuinely enjoying them now. Thank you for showing us all these amazing places.
Dude, you deserve a medal for going on that spinning coaster! YIKES!
Glad you had such a great time. 😁
use to live on long island as a child this brings back so many memories. thank you for this. Insane how it has changed!
Good ol' Adventureland. Went there as a little kid, a teenager, and now as an adult taking my nieces there. Lot of good memories, a true Long Island landmark.
I’m from Long Island I love that place haven’t been there in years
Why is it that you go to my hometown after I leave the country to live abroad? I spent every summer as a child at Adventureland and watching this brought back great memories. Thanks so much for this, Jacob!
Whoa, surprised you got on that turbulence ride
Amazing that so many of live or grow up around Adventure Land. I actually dated the original owners grandson. Long time ago. Now my nephews love this park and we have season passes. So many memories from the 80s when my friends and I came a lot on the weekends. I can ramble on and on but I will just say it’s cool seeing this on you tube. Glad you enjoyed 😃
"I'm twirling!" Holy ****! Leave it to Jacob to find the most intense spinning coaster in America! 30 years ago Jacob would be crying after that ride.
Those clowns used to be part of a kids ride where they were all attached to fake balloons and spun around, as were the alligators who at one point were the ride vehicles for those spinning boats. The rattler opened as the ladybug with the same layout but ladybug ride seats.

the alligator one is gone, kind of. the ride is still there but they remade it into boats, and the musik express is still there, also my favorite ride
@@dekuscrub9739 awesome ! Hopefully I'll get around to going back to New York one day so I can visit again.
Never Heard Of This Place but Sounds Cool!
I can tell you everything you need to know about this park I grew up here from when Twisted sister played to were music and lyrics was shot great local park. By the way the footage looked amazing.

The spinning roller coaster was intense! Thanks for riding it for us. Greatly amusing!
Adventureland is one of my favorite small parks. I’ve lived near it for my whole life and so has my dad. The flume ride has been there for so long. My dad went on it when he was 10. That was over 40 years ago ! So amazing seeing it get the recognition it deserves
I think that's so cool, that the upstairs of that carousel is a Valhalla for retired carousel horses!
I find that quite endearing!
The appreciative chuckle at "A pirate being eaten by a raptor head". 😆
2:10 i love how the old mascot is vibing with alfie😂
Loved this place in my younger years!
I love how you go on the train and be like (what’s that. Did you know that.) I just love it your also funny😃😂🤣
Thank you for taking us on the rides with you.😄
I love amusement parks like this! So classic and nostalgic.
OMG! I can't believe this still is open! I was there in 1974.
I grew up on Long Island and I'm so excited to see you went there! Love the video!
I really appreciate the flashing lights warning at the beginning!
I used to love going there with my boys when I lived on Long Island. Miss those days.
Oh shit! My friend and I went here last week! I never went to this park as a child. I had only ever heard of it as an adult and went for the first time a few years ago. It’s a precious little park that gives me the warmest nostalgia for Long Island summers I have never experienced as a native Staten Island boy.
Thank you for starting this with a flashing lights warning!
The clown vehicles were from an old kiddy spinning ride. The alligators were the previous vehicles for the speed boat ride. The haunted house was originally The Haunted Cave… then 1313 cemetery way (my absolute favorite even though it’s was broken down as shit 😂).

Thanks for checking out Adventureland! Made my day
They’ve added bikini tops to the mermaids on the boat ride😂😂
Ah, those good old days ...
Yes, on The Rattler footage was perfect!
I love the spider themed cars, too.
Man, brings back memories of going here as a kid! Cool to see you in my hometown! As far as the clown cars, if my memory serves me correctly it is almost like a swing ride that went in a circle. The clowns hand held in and you went in a circle. Crazy memories!
I live in LI, my boyfriend used to work at Adventureland years ago. I’ve never been!
3:29 cameo by ben shapiro even tho he seems like he didnt want cb on the ride w him
This fantastic park was part of the stomping grounds from my youth! There used to be the most amazingly cheesy dark ride called ‘1313 Cemetery Way’. We would ride it over and over again.

You are the best. Others don't do it as well as you do. All the best always.
Where are you from buddy?
Called out those kids for arguing about letting you in their car haha. Funny.
Growing up on the Island we always went either to Great Adventure in Jersey, The Great Escape in Lake George, or Playland. Adventureland was fun but I miss the old haunted house. Are you going to Boomers ex Bullwinkles or Splish Splash?
Boomers shut down during Covid sadly!
Great Escape and Gaslight Village.
Michael Arnold, the Haunted House dark ride is still at Adventureland. It definitely has some wear but it’s still a good ride. They moved the Gorrila? a few years ago I saw, animatronic out of it, and put it on top of a “rock” climbing wall. Guessing he stopped working but it definitely looks neat where it is now :).

And the 2nd thing that broke my heart was not seeing the roller coaster "Hurricane"...we would ride that lots of times. It was a bit jerky and rattle you around, but it was so much FUN!
Such memories of this small little local amusement park. And I'm so delighted after ALL THESE YEARS, (and the pandemic), that this Long Island treasure is STILL up and running!❤😁❤
So THANK YOU JACOB for covering this little gem in your adventures!
I'm so proud of you for going on the twirling coaster!
Lol my vertigo was kicking in on the spinning !! 🤣🤣
My dude! I am surprised and proud of you for riding the spinning coaster! I wouldn't have. That guys girl straight up wiped off his smooch. 😄😄
Ha! I noticed the smooch wipe
That swing ride...back in 2005 a woman catapulted into the parking lot when her harness gave way. The same week an operator of a roller coaster was run over. Glad you didn’t try that one. Nunley’s was in Baldwin, LI and closed in 1995. Was the first carousel I rode back in the late 60s. The carousel is preserved at the Cradle of Aviation Museum in Garden City, LI.
“Lion-O from the Thundercats!” What the heck was he doing there, 😂
And with gnomes
Oh, Wow! Lots of childhood memories! You were so funny spinning on that twirling roller coaster. 🤡
Nunley's was a small amusement park in Baldwin, NY on long Island. It had a handful of kiddie rides, a small arcade, a mini golf course and a beautiful Stanley Carousel. It sadly closed back in 1995 and the land where it stood is now a Pep Boys auto store. They restored the Carousel a few years ago and you can still ride that on Museum Row near the Ceadle of aviation and long Island children's museum.
Looking forward to you visiting the NY parks! Enchanted Forest has a big Paul Bunyan! Safe travels!
Because of Jacob's inspiration, my mom and I frequently go to our local dark rides. It's a great bonding experience and thank you for your stellar content, sir.
I live the next town over from this place I’m so excited to see you visit! I loved this place when I was a kid
That dark ride is kind of awesome. Especially the way the track is layed out. ^_^
I used to go to Adventureland when I was little with my QSAC school.
Awesome Work Bro, Thanks 👍 Greetings from Helsinki, Finland 🇫🇮🇺🇸
The spinning coaster is hilarious.
WHAT!? Can’t believe you were in my neighborhood!! So honored!! Building a home haunt come check it out!!
Forgive me for laughing hysterically while you were on Turbulence. Great video!
Nice to see you riding roller coasters again.
"Are you sure this is tea?" 😄
Carpet Bagger finally got to Long Island!!! Hope you’re doing more in the area!
They changed quite a few rides over the years. Last time I was there was late 2004. Now, if you haven't already, you need to visit Cliff's Amusement Park here in Albuquerque, NM. Very similar to Adventureland.
Love vincent Price's laugh in there...
Thanks for riding the snake like Jim Morrison .
I can identify most of those ride pieces . Don’t remember the name of the clown ride but they used to have umbrellas attached to them.

You missed the peak of that ride which must’ve been almost ten twelve years ago, with the animatronic that used to vomit into a trash can outside! He is the real adventure land mascot in my opinion!
This place is so completely random, and its wonderful.
Heyyy tysm for going to my home park!
AAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH THATS MY CHILDHOOD PARK!! MY MOM IS FROM THERE AAAAHHHHH THIS IS AMAZING!!!!
Babe was looking a little "Blue" without Paul. 😎
You must be really entertaining for the other people on rides with you. Your reactions are certainly honest.
If you've never been to Busch gardens in Williamsburg va that's a big reccomend! Extremely beautiful park!
I miss the old haunted house. That was my childhood. I barely remember what the inside of the ride was because I would always have my eyes closed lol. I can still hear the tree and the owl having their discussion about a man with a chainsaw. And the two skeletons riding a bike on a suspension wire between the haunted house and the rollercoaster.
That park looks amazing. Thank you for sharing this with us.
Hell yeah! I work right down the road. Also I used to work there as a stoned teenager. Hahah
That Hot Dog guy was awesome!!!!
Yay! You're in my neck of the woods. Lived on Long island for my whole life, almost 30 years. And I think I have only come here once or twice! Can't wait to watch this video.
Ey you were at farmingdale the other day. thats cool since I live in long island.
Hey Jacob, loved seeing you at my home park! In case you were wondering, all of the alligators used to be the vehicles for the Jetski ride. They swapped them out a year or two ago. The rattlesnake ride also used to be a ladybug ride.
Always nice to have a fresh adventure with JCB!
I grew up in Farmingdale. So glad you got to check out the Park! A lot has changed , it’s been sanitized and rebuilt but the thread remains . The Tree in front of the Mystery Mansion which was prior named The Haunted House, used to have a prerecorded conversation with another character voice on the ride. The tree had a line about “Chainsaws! I don’t like Chainsaws” that every kid knew who ever visited the park. Glad to see the Tree beat the chainsaw.
Jacob, respect that you are so brave to ride the roller coaster for us.👍🇺🇸🇩🇪
RIP the big door with Gum 😂
You did it you came to Long Island been asking you to come to this amusement park for so long
I'm so happy you finally come to visit Long Island! Hope you check out the Atlantis Aquarium, the rest stop on the 51 and the giant Duck! Some others place also to check out is the Cradle of Aviation, The Tesla factory which is slowly being built into a museum near east Shoreham and Bayville park which they do their haunted houses for Halloween!
Thank you Jacob for riding the spinning roller coaster very thrilling. Hope you will ride more coasters
Thanks for taking one for the team by riding that spinning roller coaster 🤢 I like how the rides are different and interesting to look at and all the decorations around, the hanging cars on the dark ride are new to me, what a neat park!
Cool welcome to my state Jacob. Welcome to NY. I am The Germ.
I’m at Adventureland as I post this. Awesome to see you visit my hometown, hope you enjoyed it!
“That was blenderizing!”
That dark ride is awesome!!!
That’s pumpkin is part of the original park. Like most things. Adventure Land was twice the size that it is now when I was a kid. Used to have a huge slide in the back and pony rides.
You're in my old stomping grounds. I'll be in NY in September. Nunley's has been gone a long time. My parents took me there all the time when I was little. They had a huge carousel there in Baldwin.
Adventureland was on the finale of Netflix's Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt, was excited to see my childhood on tv 🤣
Alfee boat ride is exactly like a Legoland ride.
This was great, glad to see you at our home park. When you were on the dark ride one of the figures you asked who is that...well that is an interesting story. In one of your older videos from a few years ago you rode a rickshaw themed dark ride, before Adventureland had the dark ride you just rode that rickshaw ride was actually at Adventureland and that figure was left behind from that ride. We are excited to see what other NY parks you go to. Hoping to see Rye Playland in the next few days from you, that is our all time favorite park and has so many great dark rides.
