This was lunch. SO GOOD. If Cedar Point offers anything close to this, I haven't found it yet.
The mighty Aurora wheel, just a hair under 300 feet tall. Also to be experienced my next visit.
Here's another swinger, the Space Shuttle, which we did ride. I handle these much better than the boats that don't go all the way over the top, for some odd reason. Maybe the gallons of blood pooling in my skull offsets the nausea just so.
Schwarzkopf fans will be driven mad with envy to know that Spaland has two of Anton's classic models, and both were open while we were there. First, there's the Looping Star, the only one in Asia.
Such great rides... My first was the Jet Scream, when it opened at Six Flags Over Mid-America in 1981. Anyone else remember "Commander Jet Scream?"
Spaland also boasts the Shuttle Loop, a Flywheel-powered model from 1980. I suppose this would be an ideal spot to take a dig at Magic Mountain... you know why... but I'll let it go this time.
For so long I tried to get a shot of a Dragon train going down its first hill just as a Shuttle Loop train was inverting.
That would have been rad... next time, maybe. |
