Exploring Scandia: California’s SMALLEST Amusement Park | National Coasters Review!

What’s up guys! First of all sorry for the audio, I had to record this while we were passing the through the Grape Vine. Also the mountain was on fire and the car overheated and I had no service, so that was a lot of fun 😂. Anyways I’ve got a park review for you guys today on Scandia Family Fun Center up in Sacramento. I actually really liked this place, so stay tuned for a fun review/analysis. 🎢🎢

If I ever plan a trip to Cali in the near future, this place is on my radar tbh. That wild mouse is one of my most ridden coasters since I used to visit casino pier so much as a little kid. I remember it being a really good wild mouse and I miss it a lot.

[@NationalCoasters]

That’s cool! Awesome little coaster.

[@Real.Willamz]

Why is that my only reason to go too😭😭 this coaster is the only thing left from sandy besides pirates hideaway and skyscraper😭

[@mikeywobblez]

I have the defunct Scandia Screamer credit from the now closed Scandia Family Fun Park in Ontario California. Was taken back with the decent ejector air time for such a small coaster

[@fordfilo1068]

Their drop tower has ejector airtime as well. They moved it from the defunct scandia to a nother scandia park nearby.

[@micycles1200]

Definitely not California's smallest park. That title has to belong to Adventure City in Anaheim. I'm pretty sure I've seen church carnivals bigger than Adventure City. It somehow survives by the skin of its teeth even though it sits right in between Knott's and Disneyland, and has very little to offer; even less than Scandia.

[@crooked-halo]

As a coaster hobbyist, there's no question about going to Scandia. They have the only modern E&F Miler Wild Mouse ever built! And it's an awesome ride! Maybe I'm too passionate or something, but a historically significant & thrilling coaster is a destination for me. Besides, Santa Cruz & Giant Dipper are practically right down the street!

[@CoriLane3060]

The Scandia screamer ride, that’s an icon. We always use the freeway right next to it, I’ve been passing it for years and even being a coaster enthusiast I did not realize that there was coaster there even though I’ve passes it about a hundred times in the span of 5 years. Definitely hitting up when I go to sac 👍🏽

[@NationalCoasters]

Awesome!!!!

[@coyote_bravo2723]

Looks like a fun place to spend your afternoon! Those massive booster type rides like the Scandia Screamer have got to be some of my favorite flat rides. Have fun on the rest of your trip!

[@NationalCoasters]

Thanks!!

[@Rickmarine1]

I just went there a few weeks ago with my youngest brother, we rode the roller coaster, the go carts, and of course the screamer. I don't know if you rode it or not but you def should have gave the Screamer more footage for the video. It's easily the best ride there, though the no screaming rule kinda sucks. If anyone is planning to go soon the Screamer is 100% a MUST ride, it's absolutely scary as hell, very fast, and VERY intense. It's def a good small family fun spot, really cool place too if you looking for a small cheap place to have fun at.

[@oneandonlysound3453]

Miss this EF Miller wild mouse. A shame it was sold off, I do miss it, I'd wish to have this crazy creation back over an SBF coaster or lack of a 2nd one of any size here on "the new casino pier" post-2012 anyday, even though I do love all we do have. If this park was anywhere near me they'd see me too often.

[@NationalCoasters]

It was so fun!

[@SSST916]

😂😂😂 we went here as kids a few times, thanks for the video

[@john-hu6tt]

Man! I haven't been to this place since the summer of 1999 when I came up too visit my cousin who lived in Woodland, right next door to Sacramento. This place was nice then too, trippy too see it again after so long.

[@mrslegoblock]

Rest in peace to the one in Ontario, it got bought out and was demolished for *warehouses*. I miss it every day

[@kevinhanson6106]

@ Mr Lego block it is a darn shame they were tear down and inexpensive family entertainment menu to build warehouses! Don't we have enough have used warehouses are ready?!! Ridiculous!

[@mikedohracks7552]

They tore the whole thing down in days….lived 15 min away….RIP scandia (Ontario)

[@fordfilo1068]

They brought the drop tower and tilt a whirl from scandia in ontario

[@TheKurtsPlaceChannel]

Great video. Thanks for posting this. Have a nice day.

[@NationalCoasters]

Thank you!!

[@fordfilo1068]

What about scandia in victorville. It has a a drop tower, scandia screamer and Go-Karts. Same owner just the other location.

[@omarzowila]

The Ontario location closed down permanently after a girl was chased down by what she thought was a scary person and as she was running, she tripped over and she got seriously injured but that wasn’t the only reason why this park closed down because there were people complaining about some things at the theme park

[@kathylynch4754]

Into that Scandia Pl. for million times

[@RealWilliamafton0]

Thats the scandia i go to

[@DavidWRyan]

I'm pretty sure I rode that coaster when it was in Seaside Heights!

[@iquitokay]

This is LITERALLY the closest coaster to ME.

[@danielbell2925]

I wish you would have gotten on my screaming metal death baby AKA the Sky Screamer. I’m the operator and a old friend of Richard. He no longer works there though.

[@danielbell2925]

You can find me at Raceway, Scrambler, Flyer, the Slide, Batting Cages, and last but not least the Sky Screamer!

[@NationalCoasters]

That’s awesome, will have to stay hi next time! Bummer he’s gone, that’s one cool dude! 😎

[@dutchpyro_k]

I said it but wont stop saying it YOUR SO UNDERRATED

[@NationalCoasters]

Haha I appreciate that, thank you!

[@HumanStateOfEmergency]

The only thing about this park is they tell you not to scream on the booster ride or theyll stop it. 😂😂😂

[@916nene]

I live close to there and ive never been to it 😅

[@bonniehultz6307]

U forgot the lazer tag arena man

[@mitch.pleasee]

Reminds me a lot of a small park we have in Omaha called Fun Plex.

[@rc_cactus3363]

If only they still had the roller coaster. Now Nebraska has no roller coasters again…yay us.

[@mitch.pleasee]

@@rc_cactus3363 they still have the Go-Gator 🤣

[@rc_cactus3363]

@@mitch.pleasee vroom vroom lmao

[@DJIntelligent]

I would genuinely go here but there are barely any small and fun parks in la, take note LA, not orange county. I just want to atlesast if I were to live in ca live in Sacramento the capitol because there are many amusement parks and waterparks

[@Rayquesto]

I live 2 minutes from here own a condo. Haha

[@Thesmokercoaster]

Come on man just pay for the rides to review them that just seems like a cheapskate move to me. It doesn't look like it would have cost more than fifteen bucks. Part of this new generation of enthusiast going round saying if I do you a favour you give me free rides. Just pay for it.

[@danielbell2925]

As a ride op. at this same park I can assure you that Richard’s habit of giving out free rides is part of the reason he was terminated.

[@Thesmokercoaster]

@@danielbell2925 especially after covid smaller parks need as much as they can get to survive

[@chazgames3690]

Im glad someone agrees tbh because when I heard that it made me feel a bit distasteful

[@fatty_filmnarthoe6972]

Have you ever been to adventure city?

[@NationalCoasters]

Yeah I live real close to it

[@360coasters]

I have a question for you, Favourite and least favourite flat ride?

[@360coasters]

*That you've ridden*

[@NationalCoasters]

Probably those Six Flags pendulum rides, CraZanity is awesome and Joker. As for least favorite I really dislike the teacup type rides

[@360coasters]

@@NationalCoasters Sorry I spelt favorite wrong, I'm australian and we have diffirent spelling to words than america does

[@360coasters]

What's the outro music called?

[@NationalCoasters]

Not sure you’d have to ask our editor

[@360coasters]

@@NationalCoasters But who is the editor and how do I ask via youtube?

[@crudkip4326]

fun fact: adventure city is actually smaller than scandia, so scandia is not the smallest park in california

[@mluehs12891]

Lol sketchy location

[@lamby1074]

Get out to support these parks or they will disappear
