Whacky Shack - Waldameer (2021 Onride POV)

[@Mark_Cadden]

When I tell you that as a 6/7 year old kid this ride (especially the car at horn and light at the end) scared the absolute hell out of me 😂 miss my hometown thank you for the video

[@noahwessel1303]

Lol same I would come here once every year and was scared of it till I was 9🤣🤣

[@jupitermenace9920]

Wacky Shack is a real gem. Kudos to Waldameer for preserving it.

[@OneTheBlue]

Dark rides like this are a nice touchstone to the past.

[@WaltsWorld2010]

Something tells me that I would enjoy this attraction. It almost puts me in mind of the old Gold Rusher ride at Kennywood

[@robertdubs9466]

I don't remember it's name but more like another haunted ride, also formerly at Kennywood.

[@mrtoastykat2825]

⁠@@robertdubs9466You’re probably thinking of Le Cachot which, similarly to the Wacky Shack, was build by the legendary Bill Tracy

[@nofetty]

ive been riding this since i was a kid. love the wacky shack. Pirates cove is another good one at Waldameer.

[@captaincomedian6320]

I keep expecting to hear "DEAD MEN TELL NO TALES!" during these ride-throughs, because of a particular cheesy carnival dark ride that always pops up in my area.

[@carwashslayer4235]

1:07 That horn used to work and I guess it was getting annoying. Interesting that you can barely hear it now. Maybe it ran off of Compressed air cause it sounds like it's dying.

[@jacobcraft123]

Oh it works trust me

[@jeremybolden8155]

Does it still smell bad in that funhouse?

[@RayPVideos]

It has a unique aroma all its own!

[@societyofamusementparkhistory]

This is the closest we'll get to a Bill Tracy Scooby Doo ride

[@marshalljimduncan]

I wish Kennywood would have kept the Gold Rusher...What's your favorite dark ride?

[@RayPVideos]

That’s a tough one. Favorite Classic dark ride would be Knoebels Haunted Mansion. That is a true masterpiece. If we are talking all dark rides, I’d probably have to go with Disneyland’s Pirates Of The Caribbean. I’ll agree with you about Kennywood’s Gold Rusher. That was a lot of fun, and that spider freaked me out every time!

[@CanobieCoaster]

Great POV! Could I please use this in a review of Waldameer? I will be sure to give credit on-screen and a link back.

[@RayPVideos]

Feel free! Love your videos and reviews. You have done a great job with your content. Thanks for the compliment and I’ll be looking for your Waldameer video!

[@CanobieCoaster]

@@RayPVideos Thank you!

[@amusementnow4416]

Yay, I was waiting for this video! :-) I'm thinking of going next Friday and am wondering how crowded it has been. How long did you wait for RF2 (assuming you rode it)?

[@RayPVideos]

I got there at noon so I rode Whacky Shack first (there were already 5 people ahead of me!). I rode RF2 next and at the time it was a walk-on. Word of advice, don’t ride in seat 2.1. Yikes. It was quite possibly the roughest ride I have had on it. Most of the ride lines weren’t too bad, with Comet even running two trains. Ali Baba and Mega Vortex were down, but I don’t do either of those, so no big loss. The water park on the other hand was packed. Also, the gift shop was quite bare. They said they sold a LOT of merch this year and the season ends in a few weeks, so that’s why they were low. As always, thanks for watching and enjoy your visit!
