PRESS RELEASE
Joyland Ready for
Spring Season
Lubbock, Texas, March, 2006
More accurate than any groundhog or
prairie dog, a sure sign that winter is over is the annual spring opening of
Joyland Amusement Park. Since 1973, Joyland has been locally owned and
operated and has entertained generations of West Texans.
The 2006 season opened with the big
announcement that Joyland has now acquired one of the most famous coasters
from the recently closed Astro World in Houston, Texas.
Greezed Lightnin’
was a must-do at Astro World, and is still regarded among coaster
aficionados as one of the finest and most exciting rides ever designed!
Drop from a starting height of one
hundred forty feet and travel through a loop at 60 miles an hour, and then
go through the loop again…backwards!
The big attraction is that this
coaster can be operated with a 42 inch height requirement, making it a
coaster that the entire family can enjoy.
Joyland will be holding a contest
soon to name the coaster, which is slated to open in 2007. Watch for all the
contest details at Joyland’s website: www.joylandpark.com

season is:
March 04,
2006 - May 21, 2006
Open at 2 p.m. Saturdays and Sundays only
