Ride on!
Astroland owner Carol Albert is selling 20 rides on the Web site www.rides4u.com. If you want to recreate the Space Age–themed playland, you can buy them all for $1.847 million, or, choose individual rides. Here’s some of what’s available:
There’s no better way to unwind than with this classic, whiplash-causing ride, the cornerstone of any self-respecting amusement park.
Abandon all boredom, ye who enter here. This ride gets the heart pumping with some steep drops and sharp turns past monster- and murder-filled imagery.
Let your little devils feel like Evel Knievel on this kiddie ride.
You control the level of nausea!. Spin yourself sick or lazily revolve to keep that sugar-coated funnel cake in your stomach, where it belongs.
Also features a double dose of spinning. The ride rotates on an axis and revolves in a circle, but unlike the ’cups, your dizziness is beyond your own control on this ride.
