April 4, 201412 yr These rides just sound...crazy. This Jersey park has had its share of fatalities and injuries, unfortunately. http://www.themeparktourist.com/features/20140403/17278/16-craziest-attractions-most-dangerous-theme-park-all-time Definitely not quite such a Great Advencha. I'll stick with El Toro.
April 4, 201412 yr Ahhh the good ole Cannonball Loop at Traction Park. This place still amazes me to this day.
April 4, 201412 yr Love reading 80s stories from that place. Sounds like fond memories of a crazy park.
April 4, 201412 yr I'll try to find way to upload audio of my father-in-law telling stories about Americana/ LeSourdesville. One, of a seeing a carousel worker's arm getting torn off; the other of a high diver being struck by lightning. If I can't, I'll try to do a transcript.
April 4, 201412 yr Wowwy....I'm guessing that the carousel worker might have been reaching under the moving platform. (I've seen this happen at our local carnival). Also I'm sure the high-diver gave an electrifying performance.
April 4, 201412 yr I wonder if they'll actually be able to make any money under the original name with that kind of a reputation. They might attract tourists who are unaware of its problems, but I certainly wouldn't want to visit that place when it's in the hands of someone who was partially responsible for its troubled past.
