The marketing and the buzz created each year around a park's new attractions is often just that: clever spiel and hyperbole selling a revamp as a new attraction or a tweaked ride as a brand new experience. Sure these tweaks might be on grand scale but still the ride itself is nothing new. Perhaps the ride engineers, the hardware guys, Â might have something to say about this. Are the software engineers having all the fun?
Totally new I reckon is Brush Boarding. I visited Crealy Great Adventure Park in Cornwall the other day for the launch of Extreme Sports Zone's new ride/attraction. On a beautiful day with a full park and the Beach Boys on the stereo, surf dudes and surfer chicks queued to take a ride on the the Brush Board ramp. A feature will follow for Blooloop but for now above is a clip of an 8 year old's very first go.
