    The nicest thing about Enchanted Forest (besides the handmade charm and the incredible watershow) is the fact that it is literally in a forest. On a hill. So when it's 90 degrees Fahrenheit outside, it only feels like 75 degrees at Enchanted Forest. The shade, the breezes, and the many indoor structures make this a great place to beat the heat.

    Salem born and raised. I've been coming here for around 30 years now and still enjoy every visit. I was so afraid during the pandemic and wildfires that it would be lost, but they were able to pull through with the help of the fundraising and I was thrilled to be able to finally be able to take my children. They loved it and can't wait to go again.

    One park that I'd urge you to visit even though there's no coaster is Enchanted Forest Water Safari in Old Forge, NY. It has got to be the most "out of the way" park in America. It's essentially got two water parks (a jungle theme and an Adirondack theme) plus a fairy tale/little house area like Great Escape plus a dry ride section. It's surprisingly big given its location. I always thought that if they built a Gravity Group junior woodie it would bea great stop for enthusiasts.

      True; it's practically the only theme park is America that doesn't license its soundtrack from somewhere else; all of its music was composed and arranged by the founder's daughter.

    There is a quirky park at the base of pikes peak that this reminds me of. Heavier on interaction and experience, Santa clause themed.
    If you climb pikes peak and the speak a few hours there afterwards you will get some thrills.
    It has one kiddy coaster on the edge of a cliff that they slowly speed up each lap and a ferris wheel that looks out over highway 24.
    If you go and ride that new Gersh. . . It's worth half a day climbing the peak and experiencing that little park.

    Definately a unique park that's a must if you're passing through. I went a little less than a month ago, it has a case as the best stateside park in the Pacific Northwest (of course PNE Playland in Vancouver would be the best, sadly I didn't end up going, thinking I'd get the opportunity in August after the new coaster opens. Sadly that won't happen because adult problems).

    Looks great! Reminds me a bit of Storyland in New Hampshire- mainly a kid park but with amazing theming that the owners clearly love. That’s a park it would be great to see you visit at some point- their main coaster roar-o-Saugus is probably my favourite gravity group family woodie- the finale is really something special, and its a family coaster!
