Starship 2000, Lakeside Amusement Park You know how the Stanley Hotel inspired Stephen King to write “The Shining?” Well, Lakeside Amusement Park was the Stanley Hotel to the creator/writer of Scooby Doo. {citation needed} Walking around to the frenzied, seizure-inducing circus organ makes a stroll through the park a ride in-and-of itself. In fairness, for the purposes of this blog, most of the neon signs that marked every ready-to-break ride were surprisingly well intact and completely functional. Additionally, though I feared for my life even walking near the rides, no ride-malfunction-related deaths were witnessed during my visit. The Starship 2000 simply makes people wish they were dead. When approaching the ride to take this pictures, I caught myself just in time before almost stepping into someone’s vomit - an unexpected, yet apparent, risk of entering the Starship 2000 and traveling through time. “Wow, man. You’re blowing my mind with this space travel. Op. Now I’m blowing chunks.” It truly is a viscous cycle. The obvious reference here is Sandlot so I’ll make it: ”The Big Chief! The best!” Equally contributing to your inability to keep a churro down, the sign would strobe on and off, then pulsate the different letters. I caught it on half of the “S” and the “R” and hurled up a funnel cake. (Proverbially.) Overall, would recommend.
