Sesame Place
From Free net encyclopedia
Sesame Place is an American theme park in Langhorne, Pennsylvania, a Bucks County suburb of Philadelphia.
It derives its theme from the Sesame Street television program and characters like Big Bird, Elmo, Ernie and Bert. Sesame Place includes a variety of rides, shows and water attractions, much more suited to very young children than their counterparts at other theme parks. Two of the more popular attractions at the park include Sky Splash and Vapor Trail. Sky Splash is a large raft water slide that stands more than 6 stories high. On clear days, you can see the skyline of Philadelphia from the very top of Sky Splash. Vapor Trail is a roller coaster catered to the tastes of younger thrill seekers (even as young as 3 years of age).
Sesame Place is one of nine parks operated by Busch Entertainment Corporation, the family entertainment division of Anheuser-Busch.
Sesame Place first opened in 1980. The park is open from early May through October.
A Sesame Place park also existed in Irving, Texas from 1982 to 1984, closing its doors due to poor attendance and a large number of water parks competing for its business.
Today, the Langhorne location is the only such park to feature the Sesame Street image prominently.
