[edit] Daily Start

After welcoming the guests to DelGrosso's Amusement Park, the playing of the The Star-Spangled Banner begins the day, and the park salutes the United States with our National Anthem. Everybody is to stand, remove hats, and rides are to be shut off. Everyone places their right hand over their hearts.

[edit] Roller Coasters

In 2003, the park sold its Pinfari "Zyklon" roller coaster, installed in 1987, to Blue Diamond Park. A Zamperla "Crazy Mouse" was installed in its place. That year also saw the additon of a Fajume "Wacky Worm" kiddie coaster. Both coasters continue to operate today. In 2006, the park purchased the "Revolution," an Arrow Loop & Corkscrew, from Libertyland for $55,000 USD at auction. The coaster is on-site, and currently slated to be added to the park's lineup next year.
