Going to the Poles
Part 5: Lodz

This final part covers a trip I made to Lodz. To get to the parks it's best to get a train to the central train station in Lodz (Lodz Fabryczna) and get a tram from there. To do this you need to buy a  travel ticket from a kiosk before traveling, and validate the ticket when you get on the tram. You'll need to get at least 2 tickets as there wasn't anywhere to buy a ticket at the parks. The best tram to get is number 9 going West, which goes along the main road North of the small park outside the train station. There is a stop right by the zoo entrance, where you can also reach Lunar Park by crossing the road, and walking for about 10 minutes in to the park.

Here's the parks main entrance, located about 10 minutes from the zoo. unfortunately it was a quiet ride, and most of the rides weren't operating, so I only got to get photos of the rides. This is probably a park that is best only done on weekends and the summer holidays.

Another health and safety defying Ferris wheel, with no cage around the seats.

A popular ride on the European fair circuit, with my favorite name of any ride anywhere. It translates as sleigh ride. Consequently I now always refer to doing my business as a sleigh ride.

Instead of a Go-Kart track this place has a quad bike circuit.

A couple of the parks kids rides.

This ride looks like a Waltzer, although the spinning pods look smaller than ones you would normally get on Waltzer cars.

A lot of the rides had a very nice job done decorating them.

The parks only roller coaster was a Schwarzkopf Jet Star 1. Very similar to a Schwarzkopf Jet Star 2, which was the make of roller coaster known as the Black Hole at Alton Towers. This version doesn't have a spiral hill lift, but has a similar track layout.

Sadly I never got to ride this. It would have been a nice way to remember the Black Hole.
