According to General Manager Jerry Brick, Lake Compounce will be offering, “…three new rides, redesigned restrooms, new food items, new games, more lockers and new point of purchase systems in stores and restaurants.”
 
 It’s always great news when the country’s oldest amusement park is making upgrades. “Our guests like to
know we are committed to improving the park year after year”, says Brick, “and this year is no exception. We expect they’ll be pleased”.

 Roar at Six Flags Discovery Kingdom's 10th Anniversary
Roar at Six Flags Discovery Kingdom is turning 10 next weekend! The Great Coasters International designed wooden coaster is attributed for being the first modern coaster to feature Millennium Flyer trains. Now almost standard on wooden coasters, Millennium Flyers helped launch wooden coasters into the 21st century.
 
Discovery Kingdom will celebrate the 10th anniversary by having moms and their ten year
olds riding Roar ten times in a row. This of course is in honor of both Roar’s anniversary and Mother’s Day. For more information, read the press release or visit sixflags.com/discoverykingdom.

A Step in the Right Direction

Kids in America
 Copyright 2009 :: Discover Myrtle Beach
 
It’s not too often that a park gets praise for adding a new kids area. However, in Freestyle Music Park’s case, the addition of Kids in America is a step in the right direction.

Formerly Hard Rock Park, Freestyle Music Park of Myrtle Beach has broken ground on a brand new kids area. Kids in America is not a large kids area, just four new rides, but is set to make a large impact on the park. When the park opened last season, there were simply not enough rides for kids. The park’s new management is looking to cash in on the ‘family friendly’ craze to bring in more families.

So while the addition of a kids area is not that impressive, it is certainly a step in the right direction for Freestyle Music Park.

Who doesn’t love Holiday World? Their famous Holiblog has posted a couple videos of their new water ride, Pilgrim’s Plunge. Hopefully the park won’t have any major problems with the unique lift, considering it is so revolutionary. But that lift is probably going to be a thrill in itself!
