Lakemont Amusement Park In Altoona, PA. They are a seasonal park, but 2022 prices for all day unlimited rides was $19.95, with a group rate of $15.95, plus a pay-per-ride option, where most rides were $2-3.No park that I know of anywhere in the country has an advertised price of $45. Add at least $10 probably $20.
I’ve heard of both, visited one. Knoebels is over $45 for unlimited rides. I didn’t realize Lakemont was that cheap, but it’s an outlier.Lakemont Amusement Park In Altoona, PA.

It is not a big park, but it IS home to the oldest (operating) wooden coaster. (Though I should mention it was not in continuous operation. It was restored and reopened.) It is a National Historic Landmark, and was built in 1902. It was featured on a history of roller coasters documentary I watched some years ago.
Knoebel's, in Elysburg PA still offers FREE park admission. They offer a ride all day unlimited pass for $50, or pay-per ride $2-$4, with some kiddie rides only $1.50. They also offer some historic rides, including 2 wooden coasters (one dates originally to 1947.) they have a 100-year-old carrousel, tea cups, and an Astro Orbiter.
It is a shame if you have not heard of these two parks due to their historical value.
I never went to Disney when I was a child. Life went on and I went to WDW for the first time in my early 20sMy husband and I were just talking about how we could never afford to take our son to Disney. I feel like every kid should get to experience it once. But we would have to take out a second mortgage to go. It's ridiculous. So the way things are my son won't ever see it unless he makes enough to take his own kids one day.
There are other examples like that too. Family Kingdom in Myrtle Beach offers free admission. Unlimited ride wristbands are $32.95 while individual ride tickets are $1.15 with between 3-5 tickets being needed per ride. Of course, no one's claiming that Family Kingdom is Walt Disney World or King's Island, but it's a fun little amusement park that is inexpensive.Lakemont Amusement Park In Altoona, PA.

Someone died from the original ride.I'm telling you, green was a good idea (though I haven't been on it) but they should at least try a more extreme Mission Red for the thrill junkies and see how it goes over.
The deaths occurred years after the ride opened due to pre-existing medical conditions. Orange Mission is the “original ride”.Someone died from the original ride.
Orange mission was modified after the deaths. It is not quite as intense as the original ride.The deaths occurred years after the ride opened due to pre-existing medical conditions. Orange Mission is the “original ride”.

Same with me. Took my fiance to WDW in 1975, she fell in love with the place. So I promised to take her back as often as possible. It must of worked, as we have been married for 46 years.I never went to Disney when I was a child. Life went on and I went to WDW for the first time in my early 20s
I thought there were 4 screens.

It has a terrible capacity for WDW standards of a Motion Simulator. Less than Soarin' and Star Tours or Simpsons at Universal. And that is when all seats are operational. Then River Journey terrible for a calm boat ride of WDW.
It's popularity amplifies the problem.
Yeah, I'm a pretty big fan of NRJ (I think it's probably the best C ticket at WDW), but seems like they could have just made the boats bigger and increased capacity.
With what a quarter of the ride time too. Thats bad.It is wild that it has less than half the capacity of Pirates of the Caribbean or El Rio/Grand Fiesta.
This is the point though, so aptly demonstrated the last few months.Gone, the Disney values are. Consumed by the dark side(Wall Street) they are #yoda
But not a peep about this outrageous pricing?
