Sketchy rides and live organ music? I'm there!
Monday, June 27, 2005
Oaks Park is famous for having the oldest still operational roller coaster with a loop the loop on it. It takes guts (or a few drinks) to get on the thing (after all, it's the oldest one in the country...and that can't mean it's also the safest one) and the ride will rattle the teeth right out of your head, but it's all worth it when you see that Travel Channel special about famous roller coasters and you've actually been on one of them. In addition, Oaks Park is one of the only places where you can still roller skate to live organ music, played on an organ suspended over the skating rink. So what are you waiting for? Find yourself a date and head to Sellwood for a once in a lifetime experience that you really only need to have once.
