- Man, I just realized I haven't rode the Jet Star at Seaside. Funny since
- I always go to Seaside Park for the summer. I guess I just never wanted
- to make the 3 mile walk to get to it. That and my parents weren't so
- sure about its saftey. But, since I have my own wheels now, I may have
- to make a trip down to ride it. What's the best way to ride it?
-
- Seaside Park has a coaster now. It's a portable single loop coaster.
- have no clue as to who made it. Never rode it, looked really weak for
- $2.50 a ride. I'd rather spend my money on that GREAT Log Flume. It
- was like $2.50 for two rides. The best park is, you are allowed to
- turn around and sit backwards and ride it. They don't let you
- do this in the Amusement parks i've been to. Makes a Log Flume a
- lot more fun. =)
