The Interpreter Posted May 26, 2008 Share Posted May 26, 2008 Park openings are always a time to be glad for what is open. Clementon Park in New Jersey opened this weekend...and without Tsunami aka J2 aka Puma aka Hellcat...which, by the way, now has trims down the first drop. Imagine if you went to a park to ride its only wooden coaster, and it was closed! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
