Love it! These never get old. Someone brings these rides up every few years, as there are several others around the country.
JoshB even did a CollectionDX post about one in New England.

www.mega-parc.com/en/attractions/helicopters/There's one at the Les Galeries de la Capitale shopping mall's Méga Parc (an indoor amusement park). Don't get all psyched up by that nice little shout-out to Grendizer : dads can't ride those Grendies, unless they're really light and short (max 4'8"). And if you're a mom who remembers the Grendizer era, your fun isn't guaranteed, apparently.  www.mega-parc.com/en/You can see it in movement for a (very) brief moment in the video (at 0:16) on the main page at the link above.

Nice but colours dont look anime accurate Kennywood Park is open all Summer. It's located right outside of a city, so it's a pretty big amusement park. It was originally built in the 1920's, when Pittsburgh was a powerhouse in steel production. It's not as big as Disney or Six Flags. But I'd say there are around 10 major Rollercoasters, many many large scale thrill rides, several pavilions throughout the park, and countless games. This ride is in "Kiddy Land" - a large section with rides for kids. All of the schools in Pittsburgh have "Kennywood Day" where children in the district, and their families, spend a carefree afternoon in the park. It's somewhat of a destination for the surrounding areas. |
