The Folding Horror

I created this Lego amusement park ride purely from my imagination. I called it “The Folding Horror” because it folds and unfolds, hurtling the passengers across the amusement park. Fully unfolded, this ride is longer than a foot. This ride is definitely a S.R.O.S. (scary ride of scariness).

‘Murican Tilt-a-Whirl

Tilt-a-Whirl (Round-up/Zero Gravity) is a ride I had been wanting to make for a while. Technically, I finished this ride weeks ago, but I never got around to making a post about it. My Tilt-a-Whirl has the ability to spin around, like the real thing, and it also can turn quite a lot. As you can see, the Tilt-a-Whirl fits  eight people, which I think is a perfect amount for an amusement park ride. I just added the ‘Murican theme to make it look cooler.

Ferris Wheel

Finally, an amusement park ride that has color on it. In all my other amusement park rides, I’ve noticed that very little color was involved in the design. I made this Lego ride to be bright, and beautiful to look at. To connect the six cars, I used a brown mill piece which I have only ever seen in Lego set 6918 “Blacksmith Attack”.

Air Hockey

Another table for my “area with fun simple games that you don’t have to pay extra money for”, or just AWFSGTYDHTPEMF for short. If you don’t know what Air Hockey is, it’s a game where you use two “Mallets” to get a floating puck into your opponent’s goal. It is a pretty simple and fun game.

The Merry-Go-Round

Every amusement park needs a scary ride, so I built the Merry-Go-Round. It is said to be so scary it can make a grown man wet his pants. Actually, it looks like a man is crying on the ride right now. As you can see, this ride is not for the faint of heart. Ride with caution…

The Tummy Lifter

It’s called “The Tummy Lifter” because of the feeling you get in your stomach when you go on rides like this. I used to be terrified of this attraction, but now I actually enjoy it. These rides have also been called things like “The Drop Tower” or “Free Fall”, but I kinda think “The Tummy Lifter” has a nice ring to it. Most amusement parks have one, and now my Lego Amusement Park does too.

Bumper Cars

I put this in the Lego Amusement Park so that park visitors could let out their rage on one another. It is a very popular ride. I mean, who doesn’t like smashing into complete strangers? I used different colors of tiles, including Dobby’s sock, to make it more colorful. I actually used very little grey and black at all. I put most of my most famous minifigures on the Bumper Cars, since it’s my favorite attraction.  You can find Dumbledore, Jack Sparrow, a clonetrooper, Elrond, and more.

The Spinny Turny

The Spinny Turny is like the Spinny Spinny (posted on April 5th) only it moves from side to side, jerking the passengers each way, instead of just spinning around in circles. Similar rides have been invented, but none of them are exactly like this one. It is one of the most popular rides at my Lego amusement park and, sadly, always has a very long line.

The Pirate Ship

Ah, the Pirate Ship…what would we do without you? Almost every amusement park has one, even if it is called something different like “The Viking Ship”, or “The Mayflower”, or even “Glove Boat” (from Spongebob’s “Glove World”). The first Pirate Ship was made in 1893 in Oklahoma and it was called “The Ocean Wave”. People have been riding The Pirate Ship since the dawn of time; it only fits that the amusement park for Lego people should have one.  My version of the Pirate Ship really swings to make it more like the real thing.

Spinny Spinny Ride

This ride just makes you spin around in circles and makes people barf 27.55% more than the famous “Amusement Park Ride #1” (see my post on April 4th). Oh yeah, score one for the Spinny Spinny! Many great people have been on this ride including Superman and Lex Luthor. Strangely enough, the two of them happened to be riding the Spinny Spinny at the same time, which is ironic since they are enemies.
