Not even the rain or cold temperatures could keep people away from day one of Waldameer.


The amusement park opened at noon on Saturday.

People got a chance to ride on their favorite rides and try out some new rides this year, like the Time Twister. Park officials said staff got to ride it earlier this week and it was a hit.


Visitors could also check out some new food stations and meal options at the Tasty Totter, formally the Potato Patch with new menu items including fish, shrimp, and sausage. There's also a new entrance to Water World that will be unveiled on Memorial Day weekend.


Park officials said it's always good to welcome new and old fans of the park year after year.

Right now, Waldameer is only open on weekends, but that will change closer to summer. Water World opens Memorial Day weekend. They are still looking for ride operators, for more information, click here.
