CoastersRZ Posted July 6, 2008 Share Posted July 6, 2008 Even a rainy third of July could not stop Coney from holding the LaRosa`s Balloon glow, or hundreds of people from showing up to the park. Fourteen hot air balloons glowed on Coney`s lawn for two hours. And the night was capped off by a fifteen minute Rozzi`s fireworks show (which started fifteen minutes early due to rain in the area). Click here to see photos from the event. But wait, there`s more. Click here to see a video from the Larosa`s Balloon Glow at Coney Island. Additionally, check out the photos of Coney`s three new attractions. The River Runner, Eurobungy Dome, and Turtle Parade. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

specialk141 Posted July 6, 2008 Share Posted July 6, 2008 48" to ride a swinging ship? must be one hell of a kick to it.... why would Kings Islands (twice the size) only require a rider to be 40" with an adult, while coney's is 48"?? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoastersRZ Posted July 6, 2008 Author Share Posted July 6, 2008 Bear in mind that in the State of Ohio, amusement park operators must follow all manufacturer recommended height requirements. I`m not positive if that 48" height requirement was mandated by the manufacturer or not. I was a little shocked when I first heard the height requirements for that ride. That being said, the ride does have quite a little bit of a "pop" to it. More so then the Viking Fury at Kings Island. It certainly got my stomach a little bit, while the one at Kings Island never really does. Thanks for the kind comments on the video. Hopefully, by the end of the year, I`ll be able to cut a few more videos for Coney Island Central. Well, I`m out of time. I have to go down to Coney right now to work a double shift in the rides department! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
