Weekend Crowds

Weekends are very crowded so my recommendation is to go on a weekday unless you like lines and crowds.

The train is used by both adults and children. It is a ride into the woods and campground adjacent to the park.

Cool Off

This is one of the biggest pools I have ever been in. At one end is a large group of slides where you get a raft to go down these twisting slides into the pool.

War Games

This was my husband's favorite game. He shoots balls at things that look like floating tanks in water and they shoot back at him. He was protected by a fence but often got wet when the balls hit close to him in the water.

This is a very large piece of coal found in Pennsylvania. Since this state is known for it's mining of coal the park dedicated a museum to the miners with memorabilia from those early days. Mining is still occuring in the state but not as much coal is extracted as years ago.

Old Cars

These are replicas of old cars that actually can be driven at any age. They are on a road that only allows people to drive so far side to side. That just means that you can't drive off the road nor stop since people are coming behind you.

With this ride you get to control how high or low you want to go while traveling very fast in a circle.

Thrill Ride

I can't ride these anymore, but they are so high and twisting that it looks like a lot of fun. There are three coasters in the park. One is wood and the other two are metal.

Relax and Eat

This is the only indoor restaurant in the park. It is located next to one of the many extrances and if you get a window seat , people watching is fantastic. This can be of benefit when you could use some air conditioning and have a meal or just a dessert.

Favorite Dish: I have only ever had a hamburger and salad at this restaurant. It is a good way to just sit down and take a rest from your busy day just outside.
