This is dumb. Go to Enchanted Forest in Salem, Oregon, and you can have a way radder experience for $12 a head and you can heckle whatever teenager they're forcing to pretend he's abraham lincoln that year. Also the haunted house is legit scary as gently caress* and the longest I've waited for it wassssss about 20 seconds


* it's actually the most phenomenal exploitation of expectations set by bigger parks. nothing in the haunted house is actually automatic. they choose the most sadistic teen on staff to watch you on cctv and hit buttons as you go through the house to maximize how much it fucks with you. for this reason it is also never the same experience twice. you're dead sure you get a slam or a gust of wind when you trip the laser?... but no????.... or the skeleton does nothing until that split-second you give up and start turning away. anyway I had a friend who did it and it's incredibly effective

How could you post that here, in the funny pictures thread, and not post any funny pictures of Enchanted Forest? Are we to believe there are no funny pictures of the place?

What's even better is the pupils of her eyes are actually peepholes. You can get your arm through sometimes for some amusing arm-eye photos.

The "Indian Caves" is the star though, but I don't think you could get photos of it. It reeks of "this is a bad thing for children to play in". It's an unlit series of concrete tubes that is partially underground. Parents whack their heads in it all the time. Also there are structural supports you can run into; they wrap a towel around them sometimes to soften the blow.

*On the level of Cali vs. Oregon

quote:

Back in the early 1990s, ACE (that's American Coaster Enthusiasts) published something called Guide to Ride. It was a listing of all the operating coasters at the time with pictures, information, park locations, you name it. It was basically a print version of rcdb.com before there even was such a thing. One of the coasters listed in that book was a freakish contraption called Ice Mountain Bobsleds at some park called Enchanted Forest. It looked odd. I wanted to ride it.

[...]

Check out those cars! Seriously, just look at that poo poo! Where have you seen anything like that before? Nowhere, that's where. This thing has one-of-a-kind written all over it and I am stoked.

I should probably explain a bit of history about this ride now. Back in the 80s, this was some sort of Alpine Slide. I have a feeling that it was kinda homemade, as the remnants of it are still clearly visible from this ride and it's unlike anything I'm familiar with in terms of Alpine Slides. For whatever reason, it didn't really work out like they wanted. So, a couple years later they came up with a plan to slap some track on it and make a coaster out of it. No, seriously. That's what they did. Sitting in a car on rails, though, makes you a lot taller than sitting on some sled on the ground, so they made the cars with lids on them to insure that you can't possibly stick your hand out anywhere. This is a good thing, because there are numerous times when those lids come within an inch or so of that mountain and the tunnels. Stick an arm out and lose it! Bonus: since you're basically locked into a little box, there's really no need for seat belts or anything like that. Where you gonna go, anyway? So you sit down on a padded rail on the floor of the car and they clamp the plastic lid down over your head and off you go.
