I remember being a small child and being scared to ride the Jack Rabbit - I was hooked for life! Then the Wild Cat - I held on for dear life - but it was soooo worth it! Our little hometown Idora Park was everything to a little girl like me. I was from Mineral Ridge - small town was too big a term! Now I live in Chandler, AZ. I got back from a 3 week roller coaster vacation to Ohio - I was that little girl again! I showed my husband where Idora Park was, we went to Conneaut and rode the Blue Streak over & over. I had never been there before - I loved it. Then on to Cedar Point - I was there at 11 and wasn't tall enough to ride any "big coasters" - but I made up for it!! Then on to Kennywood, first time and we really enjoyed the small park setting. I'll never forget Idora Park and the lifelong love affair of roller coasters it gave me. So much emotion in so little time. Thanks for the memories!!
