To answers a comment question about scary amusement, death trap parks in New York.

Yep. They're there too. Only arguably more dangerous since the rides sit through a cold, icy, snowy, and salty winter.

Here are links to a few so you can see as well...

Sylvan Beach - the worst/best of the lot. Be aware the website is really annoying. But you need to see the rides so click on the Games & Rides option.

Fort Rickey - a fun animal park.

Seabreeze - no, not an astringent...but an amusement park in Rochester. Similar in size to Magic Springs.

Enchanted Forest / Water Safari - That's right...a big water park in the Adirondack Mountains. A place where summer doesn't really even begin till July. Guess that's why they're quick to point out that the water is heated. I always wanted to go but never did.
