What Is Going On With Idlewild & SoakZone? | Vlog June 2024

In this vlog, I visit Idlewild & SoakZone to see what is happening for the 2024 season. And the answer is not much. 3 kiddie rides have been removed from Racoon Lagoon. Food has taken a massive decline as well. On the positives, the park has a lot of landscaping and Rollo Coaster now allows adults to ride with a partner without being weighed.

15 year passholder here. They really gutted the place. You missed mentioning the removal of the mudslide from Jumpin Jungle this year also. That place is now a real ghost town. Nice to see them giving Storybook some attention the last two years though.

Hey, David 👋 .. you were very kind/fair on giving/wording this review 🎢 .. You're correct on having HOPE for Idlewild .. and again continuously, if they aren't going to soak some newer rides and improvements .. HOPE is all we can do for our alls, semi-local amusement park.. Thank you .. That was a great, more than fair enough review, David .. Have a great summer .. y'all enjoy and be well ✌️👀🎩.

Great video! They do need to add something (it's been almost 20 years), however I'm worried that if they do it will look slapdash and temporary...

Im glad the tilt a whirl is still there and those other rides. The tilt a whirl was my grandma's favorite ride at this park. I have sone good memories with her at this park. She sadly passed away last month, but ill always assiciate this park with her.
Part of me still misses going here despite being well over the target age for here, but theres some nice woodland charm here.

Why won’t Palace Entertainment invest into this park?

[@SkyrushFanboy]

Because they're the worst amusement chain on the planet by far
