Well I deleted all the photos sometime right before we decided to go back to the bumper cars. The dozens of photos I took of the bumper cars were from earlier in the day only a few of the remaining photos are of those wonderful Lusse Auto Scooters.

A trip report with other people's pictures huh? That is way too easy on so many levels to make fun of. I could see you now locking someone else's thread for such lunacy.

Day 2 started out with another long drive from Pasco, Oregon to Enchanted Forest, 50 miles south Portland.
After inspecting the southern range of his empire, 65skylark (The Muffler King of Portland) met up with me at Enchanted Forest. I had read a little about the history of the park but Justin also pointed out quite a few tidbits.
I did not realize that in Oregon it is illegal to pump your own gas. I thought New jersey was the only state with that law, also there is no state sales tax in Oregon.
Since "my pictures" were again deleted, Enchanted Forest photos will be supplied by Justin. However, the next installation with Oaks Park will have my crappy photos.
I forgot to include photos of the Haunted House and Challenge of Mondor.
The haunted house was a fun 5 minute walk through. It wasn't too scary for me as it was not complete darkness.
Challenge of Mondor was a well done and fun shooting dark ride. The ride ops encourage you to ride over and over to acheive a minimum score that earns you a Challenge of Mondor Medal. I only bought enough tickets to ride twice. If I had known how much I would enjoy Challenge of Mondor I would have spent a couple more bucks and bought an unlimited wristband.

This is by far the best trip report I have ever encountered. Thanks, Larry, for giving a great secondhand, thrift store account of your trip out west!

Very nice, Larry! I think it actually worked out well that you deleted those photos on accident. You said you wanted to do a unique photo TR and you've certainly have.
It was great hanging out with you again! I'm looking forward to seeing the Oaks Park pictures. Should be about 50 pics of the bumper cars and a half dozen of the rest of the park, right?
And hooray for a Sandi cameo!

Glad you enjoyed Silverwood. Looks like a beautiful park indeed.. I'm planning a trip there next year. Not sure how long it would take to get there from where I live. (Although I might just consider flying...By plane of course)
Can't wait to see the pictures from my home/work park...Playland at the PNE!

Enchanted Forest reminds me of Storybook Gardens in London, two hours east from where I live. The only difference is, they have rides. Still SBG, as I remember it many years ago, was quite unique with all the 'walkthrough' attractions.
YES! YES! YES! YES! YES!'

That goofy-looking bobsled coaster intrigues me, as it looks uncomfortable, dangerous, and "homemade."
