While it doesn't have amusement rides, the Strasburg Railroad near Lancaster, PA, is somewhat similar to Edaville. You have a railroad museum and train rides on America's oldest continuously operating railroad. They also have various special events.
That's why I'm stunned Six Flags New England's Holiday in the Park failed. People didn't come out for that one. But people flock to Edaville even in the snow.
A dark ride, unique water ride, & Go Karts getting half built but never finished? Agh, BRUTAL! Kersplash from the PNW & that dark ride would've been game changing for this park. The train, 2 family coasters, & unique monorail/Dinosaur land walkthru/Dickens Main St make this park stand out IMO
Agreed, you don’t see coal or wood fired engines at parks much anymore, mainly oil burning. I have seen a few coal fired engines tho including the Pere Marquette 1225
I have one big question, what will become of the thomas replica that was used here for thomas land? Was it scrapped? Is it gonna travel again? Was it returned to strasburg?
There’s something similar like 2 hours and 30 minutes away from me that also has a few rides, one coaster but they do have a scrambler the place is called the tweetsie railroad they also have a train that takes approximately 20 minutes to complete its layout, the train has a scene including a tiki hut which has some crazy stunts, they also do have a Thomas special thing where they put a Thomas train in front of the locomotive, be careful the train whistle is loud

I've heard good things about that place.
I went for a Christmas holiday a few years back. It was unbelievably cold but the rugged locals seemed perfectly comfortable. Made me feel wimpy. 😂

@@HeWhoIsWhoHeIs Thanks for the response!
I've actually lived in CA for 30 years, but grew up in that area. You get thick skin and after a few weeks, the cold doesn't bother you as much.

It really is unfortunate they were spread thin rather than finishing any one of those projects.
I really wish I went back to Thomas land, I’ll miss it
I'm glad they kept the area alive with a new theme.
Looks interesting and had an interesting history
I just hope the park can overcome their financial issues.
Looks like a beautiful park. I love to see and hear a coal fired steam locomotive.

The park looks great.
Fun fact about Kersplash, it also came to the San Diego County Fair back in 1996!
Interesting!

I do not know what its fate was, sorry.
The 2ft gauge Thomas dummy unit is owned by Strasburg, possibly in storage till it is needed again. It does travel to other 2 ft gauge railroads.
Really pretty looking park for families but those food prices 🤯
Those food prices were shocking.
Bidenomics. C'mon, man... don't be a MAGA terrorist, Jack!
9:22 They should've kept the engines and had them rethemed to Edaville's engines
I like how they have it now with a classic engine.
It’s kinda sad they never got the kersplash water coaster open
Yes it is. They had big plans.

I've heard about that place, but never been.
@@CanobieCoaster it’s a great place I heard they got a SBF visa spinner a few months ago but I haven’t been in around 16 years
Unfortunalty Dino Land will no linger be opened as the Dinasors got completely destroyed during the time we were closed during the Pandemic
That is unfortunate. Thanks for the update.
@@CanobieCoasterAlso I can see myself filming the train on 1:13
Are you a fellow antiquer? I've been a fan since the 7th grade and I started off with believe it or not Christmas Decorations.
My wife is more into antiques than me.
as someone who hates Christmas
Even if you don't like Christmas, the lights at this park are beautiful.
Why did I read the title to the tune of hank Williams jr family tradition?
Not sure!
What's wrong with having single riders in the scrambler?
This isn't the first park I've seen ban single riders on scramblers. Casino Pier and a few other places do it too.
Not sure I heard of this park
Me neither
It's more well known for the train than the park.
