Fav park smells

Wow! Talk about an old thread! That happens a lot in the offseason I guess, for those of us that have one. ;-)

Hmm, the smells of food is ALWAYS my favorite, especially at Dollywood.

Kennywood and Cedar Point's fries. God what I would do for some (either) of those right now. :-P

The chain grease, asphalt, chlorine on an old water ride, and of course the pizza

Um...yeah, how about the smell of a thread I made 5 (!) years ago before i retired that old screen name.

Ah, mammaries.

Funny thing is that I read all three pages in anticapation of posting at the end, and I look and see that I have already posted. HAHAHA!

I have another one to add to my post from Four years ago...Camden Parks Pronto Pups back in the day when they used to hand dip the weenies into the batter. Camden Parks Whip and Dodgem have a very nice smell. Camden Park is full of smells, and I think that's one of my favorite things about it. You can smell the park from the time you get out of your car in the parking lot.

Kudos to BleedingBolts for not starting a new thread. That was fun.

Oddly enough, I can always smell a B&M! I love that smell...I distinctly remember smelling it through Raptor's loop...Mmmmmm, I love it..

Chlorine from SFA's HH. And the smell of the park's assfault (<---Spelling?) black top.

The most recognizable for me would have to be the smell of the Old Mill at Kennywood. I cant remember if the familar smell is still there after the garfields nightmare redo, but I certaintly hope it still is.

The only way I could begin to describe the smell would be "Delightfully old"

My favorite smell is the smell of the campfires eminating from Lake Rudolph Campground after a fun day at Holiday World.

The Hersheypark mulch...smells like chocolate :D

The Boat Chute and Kastle darkrides at Lake Winnie. The food at Dollywood, especially the bar-b-que and food during Festival of Nations, Harvest Festival, and Christmas. Skyline chili at PKI. One of the best of all too, turkey legs at Disney World! YUM!

^I remember that smell in the Boat Chute very well. There was also another "smell" if I recall that was similar to pot.

Maybe it was just me. ;-)

Oooo, I remember those Turkey Legs at Disney World!

Dexter,

I agree about Camden Park, especially the Whip and Bumper Cars. Luckily the river close by has a better smell than what it used to have. lol.

I also always liked the smell coming from the brewery at Busch Gardens Williamsburg. You could smell it all over the park.

Ahh man...love the way the Matterhorn smells. Must be the chlorinated water and chain grease.

Also the sea, coaster grease, and corn dogs at Santa Cruz.

Well first of all, thanks for indulging those of us who weren't here 5 years ago when this thread started.

My contribution...

Charcoal grills at any park that allows picnicking, or any stand that grills their food.

Kettle corn.

Cotton candy. I personally don't care to eat the stuff, but there's something about the smell of sugar and food coloring whipped with air.

Just so it's not all food smells, the grease on an old-fashioned whip ride, and the graphite smell of the Skooters @ Knoebels, and also the smell of campfires and the woods along their train ride.

All of the smells in a classic amusement park, but none in particular. Musty tunnels and dark rides, ozone from AutoSkooters, chain oil and bearing grease. It all comes together to make the smell of an amusement park....
