Sesame Place-6/8/19 (Article Coming Soon)
By: Pineracer Date: June 9, 2019, 1:00 pm
---------------------------------------------------------
For the first time in a decade, I went to Sesame Place to check
out Oscar's Wacky Taxi and the improvement/changes since 2009.
The first thing I noticed was that I felt the security guards
were around my age (19). This weirded me out. Most of the other
crew being young was ok, considering one of the friends in my
major works at Justice League and Cyborg at Great Adventure. I
would think you need a lot of time to do security (it was at the
metal detectors, but still).
With Coasting for Kids (the main why I felt, "It's not going to
be weird for a 19-year old to go to a kids park") and Super Hero
Weekend, I was expecting it to be very busy, but it seemed Sky
Splash was sucking a decent amount. I didn't ride Vapor Trail
but both of the coasters were almost dead (Wacky Taxi was at the
stairs when I went on around 11). It seemed by the time the
coasters crested the lift, the other train was only just getting
unloaded so it seemed you were waiting about as long as the
experience was.
I first went in the front, maybe a little tight, but still got
some air, and got thrusted into the breaks. I got into the back
about 3 cycles later (restraint seemed about as loose as safely
possible) and got air off the drop (but not thrusted into the
breaks, experience was the same pretty much). I'm not sure which
is better, but I would compare it to Fire Chaser as the next
step (more intense than Blazing Fury/Harleyquinn/Vapor Trail,
but may not be tall enough/ready for the Arrow's Tennessee
Tornado or Runaway Mine Train).
I decided to more walking around and taking some off rides and
shots of the renovated street. Something odd i noted the gate at
the Neighborhood Theater still says Big Bird Theater on it and
Snuffy is meeting guests in Abby's Paradise Theater.
Don't follow Sesame Street, but it looks like Abby has a
Step-brother named Rudi, maybe they could add him and then do a
new show with him, Abby, and the gang in 2021 (with all the
other parks getting coasters, they just might make the
anniversary sell it self-along with repainting the Good Ship
Sesame and some improvement to the current parade).
In conjunction with the above, I saw Magic of Art only had 3
showings so I'm guessing they would probably replace it in 2021
too.
I will be posting a vlog on my Youtube Channel soon.

We thought the Wacky Taxi was pretty similar to Roar-O-Saurus at
Story Land

Nice report and sounds like a good day.
I think Rudi s the new adopted character that was recently
added.
Looking at the videos their GG coaster looks like a slightly
scaled down version of Roar-a-sourus at story lad.

I've heard of Roar-a-saurus, just have never felt I had a need
to got to Story Land being from South Eastern Pennsylvania
growing up with Sesame Place and Dutch Wonderland and then the
larger parks like Hersheypark and Great Adventure later on.

If you ever get up this way Story land and Santa's Village are
worth a trip. Sesame Place seems very water park heavy. I think
you'd find there is more to do at Santa's village and Story land
then you might expect. I think Dutch Wonderland is similarly
sized or slightly bigger. There is also Clark's Trading Post a
roadside attraction in the area and Whales Tales a respectably
sized water park. 2 resorts also offer Mountain coasters if your
into those.

If you want to get the most bang for your buck visiting
StoryLand or any of the other northeast parks for that matter,
you should consider the ACE Summer Con event, which will take
place at StoryLand, Santa’s Village, and Funtown Splashtown.
Three parks covered in one event!

mountains attractions or the mountain coasters around the
events.
