Can anyone tell me what kiddie rides they have? Is either park worth the trip?
Thanks.

Ensign - "Eternal Sunshine" is one of my all-time favorite films. Great script, unique story-telling method, excellent acting...everything about it is top-notch. Every time I watch it I catch something new I hadn't noticed before (and I've seen it at least 50 times, lol).
I love that many of the effects are low tech, sort of a hallmark of Michel Gondry's work. Speaking of which, if you loved ESotSM, check out "The Science of Sleep". Now there's a movie that will blow your mind. :)

You should definitely go if you like small, traditional parks. The collection of rides is fantastic (Rock-O-Plane, Tip Top, Roll-O-Plane, Laffland, Galaxie coaster) and the atmosphere is great. I'd love to go back, wish it was closer to northern NJ than a four hour drive.
Midway we recognized as impossible when the drive from DelG's to Waldameer turned out a bit longer than anticipated. Let's just say I plan to be in the NW PA region more frequently anyway...but the only one I *know* here on 'Buzz that has visited is Pete...

Midway Park is pretty much all about small children. The only "adult" rides that I recall would be the go-kart track and the carousel. They have 2 kiddie coasters and lots of other kiddie rides. They also have a rollerskating rink on the 2nd floor of the old ballroom building right on the shore of the lake.
Sylvan Beach is a more traditional park with rides for everyone and a section of kiddie rides. If your kids are starting to outgrow the true kiddie rides you would probably be better off at Sylvan Beach. Laffland is their classic dark ride with most of the original stunts intact. They also just added a Rotor this year.
Hope that helps.
I would want to go to an amusement park that has an Orbiter, Wipeout, Zipper, Spin Out, Thunderbolt, Yo-Yo, Scat, and a Tilt-A-Whirl, but others might say that, that particular park would stink bad. It all depends if you are interested in those rides, or not. It's not a roller coaster park because it only has one of them.
Rollergator, check it out.

I want to be sure to make it to Midway Park. My 5 year old is my mini thrill seeker so the trip would mostly be for her. My other 2 kids seem to have missed the amusement park junkie gene.
I hope I can make it to Sylvan Beach too.
I do like the smaller, traditional parks. I don't know why I've never been to either park.
