McSalsa Posted March 31, 2012 Posted March 31, 2012 Coasterbob62 posted another video recently, and well...I had no idea this place even existed. And it's open right now. Here's the video: What a flat ride collection... Weird schedule though, only open from March-Mid April...park is located at the I-X Center in Cleveland, Ohio. Quote
The Interpreter Posted March 31, 2012 Posted March 31, 2012 It's more like a yearly indoor carnival. Well worth the trip. Quote
McSalsa Posted March 31, 2012 Author Posted March 31, 2012 Well, now that I think of it that way...it is kind of a carnival, but it's a carnival that has been given a tremendous amount of steroids. And pretty much the only one I would even consider a 5-hour drive to go to...although their tickets are cheap at $24 ($21 with discount) and they didn't seem to have any lines. I'm also guessing Cedar Point is a large reason this place adds so many rides (competition even though CP is closed, or just giving guests tons of rides because that's what CP does?) Quote
74Gibson Posted March 31, 2012 Posted March 31, 2012 Just watched the video and showed my wife and 3 yr old. Looks like we're going Wed... Thanks McSalsa! Anyone have any words of advice... and no a Terpy "yes" doesn't really work here I'm off to consult Google Quote

74Gibson Posted March 31, 2012 Posted March 31, 2012 You're awesome! Thanks. Hope all is well to, I haven't chatted with you in awhile. I just came from their site and... since Thur. is my father-in-laws birthday (oops), we're going tomorrow. I'll post a TR. Quote
CoastersRZ Posted March 31, 2012 Posted March 31, 2012 I wonder how well attended this is. $24 seems like a pretty good bargain. Too bad it all the way up in Cleveland. That's a bit of a long drive from Cincinnati. Quote
The Interpreter Posted March 31, 2012 Posted March 31, 2012 It's even further from Atlanta. Or...Texas. Quote
CoastersRZ Posted March 31, 2012 Posted March 31, 2012 That is true. Texas would make for a really long drive! Granted, some people have visited Coney before that we're from Texas (although I'm sure they weren't here just to visit Coney). Quote
74Gibson Posted March 31, 2012 Posted March 31, 2012 Just under 4 hrs from Fort Wayne. Works for me! Besides, I see some credits in there man Quote
bkroz Posted March 31, 2012 Posted March 31, 2012 The I-X Center is a convention center that hosts boat shows, flower festivals, gem shows, etc. The giant Ferris Wheel you see in the video is the only permanent ride, which operates no matter what convention is currently occupying the building. It's about an hour from me. I'll say that it's well known for its less-than-desirable teen attendees these days, especially if you go on a weekend or after school lets out. Every day I've ever been, that parking lot has been nearly full, so I wouldn't necessarily expect that the short lines shown here are typical. It's a sight to see. That's for sure. Quote
A.S.Coasters Posted April 1, 2012 Posted April 1, 2012 I've known about it for a while now, almost went there once but never did. I've also been on a few rides there, since a lot of them have rotated to a fair in northern Ohio that I've been to. Quote
PhantomTheater Posted April 1, 2012 Posted April 1, 2012 The Giant Wheel was at one time the largest indoor ferris wheel. It offers wonderful views of Cleveland Hopkins Airport. Quote
