South End

The designation "south end" is mine. There is a section of the park south of the Ferris Wheel that I have designated South End to separate the pictures into groups. The south end contains The Flume, Pirata (swinging pirate ship ride), an indoor ride (I think it's a ghost/scary ride), and a water slide.

The flume is directly on our right. We're looking north. In front of us is a plaza surrounded by arcades and odd businesses (like a photo studio). Beyond the plaza is the Ferris Wheel.

We're standing in the plaza near the Flume entrance, looking west. Thru the woods in front of us you can see the Corkscrew coaster.

We're walking south. We're passing the flume (on our left). In front of us is a few arcades, an indoor ride (I think it was a house of horrors), and the water slide.

Water slide - there are two tubes from the top of the tower where riders of inflated rafts can choose between "Get Wet" or "Get Very Wet" for the ride down.

Here you can see the two exit tubes dumping out to a platform
Pirata pirate ship ride June 1996 -
The Parata. This ride is an enormous boat-looking thing that swings back and forth on a hinge up above. The centripital force is pretty strong. Do NOT look up at the fullcrum while it is moving. You will get sick sick sick. It's fun if you don't though. You are floating when the thing is up on the end. It's much more fun than it looks.
