WALDAMEER PARK
Erie, Pennsylvania
 Park News - (7/22/10) While one reader had sent in some negative comments about the state of Ravine Flyer II this season, more than twenty others readers responded to say that it was still running great on their visits anywhere from yesterday to early June. You can find a few new pictures of Waldameer just posted to this trip blog as well.
As for the graffiti issues, while it’s true that it appears at times, it also gets cleaned up and removed as often as they can get to it, so just sort of comes and goes like the tide I guess.
(5/10/10) A trip report from the season opening day of Waldameer Park can be found at Coaster Adventures.
(3/10/10) I’ve been told that Waldameer will be offering season passes ($59.95) for the first time in 2010. The park will also be retiring the old “ticket” system this year, installing new turnstiles that guests will either have to swipe their season pass or a wristband in to ride.
2011 - Flying Carousel - (3/11/10) A quick correction, I’m told that the Zamperla Flying Carousel planned foe Waldameer Park is more like your standard Wave Swinger, making it more family friendly than your standard Chance Yo-Yo which offers a little more extreme ride sensation.
(3/10/10) Waldameer is planning on adding a Zamperla Flying Carousel (aka: Yo-Yo) to the park in 2011 that will overlooking Lake Erie, placed near the Ravine Flyer II.
(2/2/10) One of our readers contacted Waldemeer Park about their 2010 addition only to get a reply back that the park wont be getting any new rides for 2010 after all. Looks like the Yo-Yo either got bumped back a year or canceled outright.
(8/31/09) According to an interview with the park, Waldameer is looking to add a new Yo-Yo ride for the 2010 season.
(10/8/08) Waldameer has announced plans to build a “Flying Carousel” in the northern section of the park in 2010 inside the center of the train’s turnaround area.
2012/2013 - New Thrill Ride - (4/21/10) The latest WaldaBlog update mentions that the park is busy laying infrastructure that will be used for future projects in the next few years. Such projects include a one of a kind Food Court inside the old Merry-Go-Round shelter as well as putting the areas in front to use for a brand new thrill ride.
