Thrill rides galore! This place has just about something for everyone. Of course, the main thing people come in huge throngs for are the main roller coaster attractions, tall and wide, including the well known Intimidator 305, one that goes 305 feet in the air and plummets you at 90+ mph towards the park, or Dominator, with supposedly the tallest loop on a coaster. There's also many, MANY more coasters like Volcano, one that is suspended and launches you from the inside of a neatly constructed volcano. Then there is the Drop Tower and WindSeeker, two thrill rides. One drops you from 300 feet in the air, and the other spins you round and round in a circle at 300 feet in the air. Then there's also the Eiffel Tower, a remake model that's about a third of the size of the real thing in Paris, that provides an observation deck on top and allows for breathtaking views of the park and beyond. There are also many kiddie coasters and attractions. As I came back this year, I noticed a huge expansion of the Kidzville section, now branded after Schulz' famous Peanuts comic cartoons. Then there's live shows beyond, and International Street is packed with shops and restaurants aligned on both sides of a fountain, being the entrance to the park, you are provided with a neat photo-op as the Eiffel Tower looms in the background over the shops on both sides of a fountain. The food is more than stellar, and can be found in every section of the park. I also commend the park for being great in terms of accessibility, and being friendly in nature. All employees are cheerful and happy and are willing to help. Definitely a staple in amusement parks across the East Coast.
