Screamin’ Eagles at the
Great Escape Six Flags’ Great Escape, Lake George, New York, has introduced Screamin’ Eagles, a Flying Scooters ride from Larson International. Riders can control their own experience on this amusement park classic as they steer a rear wing on their ride vehicle allowing them to dip, dive and plunge at speeds of up to 40mph. The ride is one of three new attractions this season at the Great Escape. The other two, the Marshal’s Stampede bumper cars and Blizzard (Scrambler), are both located indoors.
It’s a jungle in Jakarta!
IE Park recently commissioned three attractions at Jungleland in Jakarta, Indoneisa, including this attractive 50-seater carousel. The 12m diameter ride features a variety of animals including tigers, lions, monkeys and giraffes. Each animal holds one rider with the exception of a three-eater elephant, two-seater peacock and four- seater snake. Many of the animals move mechanically up and down or in a rocking motion. The other rides supplied by the Italian manufacturer to the park were two bumper car tracks, measuring 12 x 24m and 7 x 11m respectively.
