No, no, no I am not going to
ride the slingshot! A Slingshot is a seat that's strapped to two
bungee cords and rocketed hundreds of feet up into the air. What's
really wicked about Old Town's Slingshot is most of them have a cage
around the riders while this one is without.
Rounding out the rides at the
front of Old Town is a nice flying carousel swing ride.
For more thrills you need to
head down Old Town's "Main Street" past stores, restaurants
and other attractions to the back of the park which features the Windstorm
rollercoaster.
The Windstorm was added to
Old Town back in 1997 and rumors still float around that Old Town was
going to build a wooden coaster but decided to put the Windstorm up
because it's a transportable coaster that could be added right then
and use the funds generated by it to build the wooden coaster at a later
date.
Please note that I received
permission before taking my camera on the Windstorm to take the following
on ride pictures.
