DelGrosso's Amusement Park

This is DelGrosso's in Tipton PA and the 4th stop on our Western PA trip. It's a small, family-owned park that only added one coaster, Zyklon, to our conquered list. Like many parks of its kind, it is admission free, offering the option of buying individual ride tickets or an all day pass.

There isn't much to say about DelGrosso's. It was a nice, clean park. It had many well maintained carnival rides, some with unique themeing. It looks like a great starter park for kids. It took us about 2 hours to get through everything we wanted to see in this park and that's because we dragged our feet. It's also the reason it was the first park of the day. After DelGrosso's we went to Lakemont Park the same day. It was an idea we had that made for a really fun day. This park is a couple of good coasters away from being something really special. Regardless of its limited options, we had fun.

Zyklon is a standard mouse trap type coaster, nothing special and not particularly fun. The only other note worthy attraction is Space Odyssey. It is an original caterpillar ride, inside a building and in the dark, themed to look like the night sky. It's the best use a caterpillar ride we have ever been on and reminded me of Conneaut Lake Park's Ultimate Trip.

Delgrosso's is not a vacation destination but if your in the area and looking for some fun, check it out. The price is right.
