Cedar Point one-ups Spaland with its four-banger Power Tower, but S&S rides are always welcome, no matter how many legs they have.
What Cedar Point doesn't have – what no other park in the universe has, rightly so – are THREE swinging boats, right next to one another. Nobody needs that many swinging boats. Nobody.
The Giant Frisbee, however, I could understand any park having, like, ten of these. They are so badass.
This is the twin to Cedar Point's maXair, which turned me on to these monsters a few years ago.
Oh, how I wish Magic Mountain would put a Giant Frisbee somewhere high up on their property... or anywhere they had the space for one, really.
Absolutely exhilarating.
Spaland's kiddie area is really well done, bright and colorful, and so clean you could drop food anywhere, pick it right up, and eat it without worry. There's a credit here, the Peter Rabbit Coaster, which is very cute, and bless the Japanese for treating this classic Beatrix Potter character with that kind of respect. For god knows what reason, I did not take a picture of the Peter Rabbit Coaster, but I did snap the barking doggie going in a circle ride, because now I'm a little obsessed with them. |
