City of Mirth

If you've ever wondered what it was like to visit one of the turn of the century mega parks then look no further. This park seems very historically accurate to what one of these parks was like. The shoot the chutes and coaster layouts are very close to reality however I would have liked more from the Scenic Railway, more rock formations and early kitsch theming. Also the themed rides are very ambitious, but feel incomplete and lacking the details which would make the ride interesting or enjoyable to ride. The transport style ride could use more landscaping around it to make the gardens prettier and more like something you would see at Tivoli. Westward Ho tries very hard at recreating a golden nugget mine train or something but I feel this attraction would have been better as a themed old mill or tunnel of love. There are too many uninteresting spots on the ride and not enough going on. Other than that, this park is very good and so far one of the best historic recreations we've seen.

Coasters: 7/10 (great interpretations, but leave a bit of room for improvement)
Flat Rides/Other Rides: 7/10 (themed rides are somewhat lacking, but shoot the chutes and flats are very well incorporated into the layout)
Shops & Scenery: 9/10 (impressive and accurate architecture, hedge maze is very nice)
Park Layout: 9/10 (feels very close to the layout of Coney Island Luna or Dreamland)
Overall Park Theming: 10/10 (pulled off the essence of the era with accurate impressions)
Realism: 10/10 (exploring this park is like going back in time to the turn of the century)
Favorite Area: Back of the park near the Bobsleigh, facing the chutes
Least Favorite Area: Flying Machines/Elephants area (not enough scenery)
Favorite Ride: Hauntings
Least Favorite Ride: Westward Ho (boring, needs to be more level with scenery)

Overall Score: 8.8/10
