Little Leaper, an Allan Herschel Little Dipper
Lil' Leaper
This kid was loving his ride on the Little Leaper, asking to be sent around again and again.
Unfortunately I'm too big to ride, so I didn't get to add it to my list. Without the Little Leaper today was a zero-sum count for me, as I already had been on all the other coasters in the area.
Tiny Ferris Wheel that appears to be an Eli Bridge model.
If Leap the Dips is Lakemont's most famous roller coaster, then the Toboggan is definitely their most infamous.
This is the point where it gains the most infamy in the shortest time.
But things like getting locked inside a tiny cage and then climbing up a vertical tube are also worthy of its infamy.
It was about at this moment when I was wondering what their emergency evacuation procedures for this lift hill are in the event of a malfunction or power failure. Does anyone have an answer that won't make me feel worse about riding it?
While I find the Toboggans incredibly odd, they're not so horrible to permanently stay away. This was the only ride that I had to wait in line for today, and those ahead of me seemed to enjoy it when they got off.
Chance Rides, the seal of quality.
Third time walking by Tin Lizzy I decide I should give it a try.
This would be my automobile.
There's not much to do or even look at on Tin Lizzy's winding course, but it's a different pace from the roller coasters.
Back for more Skyliner
Go-Karts and Skyliner; unfortunately not the prettiest corner of the park.
I believe somewhere around this curve is the memorial for a dog that used to belong to a maintenance worker and would actually ride the roller coaster. First time he tried it must have been a bit awkward.
Final front row ride on the Skyliner before moving on.
