It can be a pretty sketchy place, but some of the rides are quite fun. I've had some nonstop spinning on the Tilt-a-Whirl several times, and the airtime on the first hill on the front seat of Cyclone is OMFG amazing (several inches out of the seat). Loved the TR.

PS, there WAS a Roll-o-Plane for a while. It sat where Zoom is now. I remember making the mistake of riding it with a friend...sore necks for three days afterward. :?r

Last time I went to Lakeside was three or four years ago...it's sad that the park has gone down in quality a bit since then. If I recall correctly...isn't Zoom the newest attraction at the park? That ride has a special place in my heart as it was ,y first drop tower. =)

Wow, that park has the best signs and structures ever! Too bad it was lacking in other ways. Thanks for sharing!

Oh, THAT would've been nice. No, it seems you have to go to Elitch for any kind of beer.

I just went yesterday. The park is a lot better this year...they hired a landscaper and there are flowers and plants all over the place. It is a lot cleaner (was pretty clean last year too). The Train around the lake is down for the season, but the coaster is working and they added new bodies for the Go Kart ride (Sports Cars).

^Welcome to TPR!

That's unfortunate about the train, which sounds like it's a signature ride of sorts. I'd been hoping they'd be able to get that taken care of quickly.

Glad someone is looking after the park, though. The cleanliness issues I noticed were more along the lines of typical outdoor grime allowed to accumulate for way too long, rather than something outrageous like littered drink containers and such everywhere (a la Indiana Beach and the defunct Fun Forest).

I'm assuming PTSA is actually Parent Teacher Student Association, but Pizza would be hilarious!

Nice TR Laura. I absolutely adore all those retro signs and unusual rides. I have also always wanted to go on a Miler Wild Mouse however horrendous they seem to be!

^I rode it again the other day and it was actually quite a bit gentler! No idea why, as I didn't try too hard to brace.
