If you are going just to try out Typhoon, its really not worth it. The OTSR's on this coaster are very confined and if you are even somewhat tall, the leg room is pretty cramped. Their are a few headbanging spots due to sudden jerkiness of the trains. I did find the loop to be pretty cool and the ending upwards helix has some pretty decent lateral G's.
If you do go, try to get coupons. Usually the Dunkin Donuts and the Walmart near the park have them. They do have other rides that adults can enjoy such as a Himalaya, a swing ride, bumper cars, Tilt-A-Whirl, Galleon ship ride, train ride, ferris wheel, merri-go-round, and a junior steel coaster called Dracor. They also have a small childrens type zoo , midway games, arcade, and a couple shows.
If you are looking for ultimate thrills then this park is not for you but if you are looking for normal carnival type rides, 2 o.k. coasters, and the small scale amusement park feel, then I say check it out. You can add a couple coasters to your track record and say that you have been there.
Hope this info helps you in your decision.

Do they still have that one ride where you go around in a fire truck, and put out fires with the small hoses they give u?
I loved that ride as a kid!
Typhoon wasn't as bad as some people told me it was, but........I took my second ride in the back seat and, well, it was a much different ride.
Pretty much every coaster I have ridden is worth at least one stop, depending on the price, but please be warned that Typhoon is a pretty rough coaster (at least I thought so) that required a bit of defensive riding, but it has a very unique layout that can be fun once you you know how to ride it.

I agree Iron Were wolf. The Galaxy was definitely a coaster that fits with the crowds that go there which is pretty much families with small children. Typhoon is not a coaster that caters to the small fries. You also have to be at least 52 inches to ride. Galaxy had a much lower height restriction.
Yes, the Fire truck ride is still there. That is one of the staples of Santas Village. Kids just love this attraction. I remember when I was a kid riding this and getting all anxious to put out that "4 alarm blaze" lol,:). Now when I get on it with my daugher I just snicker silently at a house the size of a Deluxe Barbie house with a small blow torch type element inside of it. Its still cute though.
