After DelGrosso's we headed down to Lakemont. This park kinda of just sits here waiting for attention. It's a mix between Clementon and Williams grove.
I'm not even sure how to describe it really it's that unique of a park. I really wanted to try my first Tobogggan but it was closed due to Rain and Lighting, However Leap the Dips was still Running.
By looking at it you wouldn't expect how much fun this little gem really is. The feeling of the car lift off the track was truly fun if not scary the first time around. Also watch out for the tree and the final drop both very exciting! It's sad that they only have one car, but then again... lucky for us they even have that one so we could get our credit on. I've could have ridden this all day but we needed to hit other rides before the park closed.
I then proceeded to try and get my kiddie coaster credit but the rid-op informed me " No Adults please" after i was tucked beneath the lap bar
I asked nicely to stay on due to the rain and nobody would see me , but he refused.. and sent my daughter around for one lap. It was supposed to be three laps, but due to the rain he felt it wasn't safe and stopped it.
At this point it was heavy down pour so we rode the antique cars . The rain lightened up a little but not enough for the Skyliner to open so we played a round of golf.
Skyliner was a good ride with spots of air time. These pops of air were filled with great views of the baseball stadium next door. After that We rode some flats, Leap the dips some more and left. I had enough fun were i could see myself returning just for leaps and hopefully my Toboggan credit.
Onto the pictures....
Having fun since 1894
Since it was still raining the Toboggan was closed.
So we headed for the oldest coaster on the planet.
The station house protected us from the rain.
One train ops as the rest waited here for rehab.
Lift hill fans , here you go.
One more car, and we would be next.
Some shots of the track.
Hey...who are those guys?
Good things these guys finally showed up. My daughter wanted to ride this old school monster, spider thingy or whatever you want to call it .
Followed by the twister. I was scared to ride because of the one I saw at Williams grove, but this thing never did make a complete revolution.
Last but not least was the Skyliner.
Closer view!
Go Curve !
Back in Philly once again.
Thanks for reading,
