Queens Zoo :3

Because... Animals.
(and the fact none of the area coasters I came to ride were open yet)

Woo, The Queens Zoo!
Uh, my first NYC Zoo?
The Zoo is a pretty small, basically being a ring along one main pathway with the petting zoo being across the street. uh, pathway.
Flowers.. and stuff.
The Zoo had some surprisingly nice landscaping, almost like a garden that featured animals.
And even a misting area to cool off at.
Oh.. and um, also... animals.
Like this herd of American Bison
And this Sassy Bird
Sea Lions and their pool.
Sleepy sleepy time for Mr. Sea Lion
Worlds Fair leftover.
The Scarlet Macaw
Roosevelt Elk
And um.. Lady Elk? maybe?
Miss Puma didn't seem to happy to see me...
(she probably wanted to eat me)
 'Murica
Oh, its like I'm back home.. Only they aren't just in the parking lot for Magic Kingdom...
(Nah, Disney removes them before they get that big... most of the time)
Oh man! A Sandhill Crane!!!
<3
(Also, I don't think I've ever seen one.. uh.. sitting before)
AKA, doing the 'butt thing' :D
<3 quack... quack.. quack :V :V
Andean Bear!
I had no idea they even had a bear here until I saw the map :D
Coyote
King Goat?
llallamamas... and stuff.
Moo?! Moo indeed!
See, some Texas Long-Moo's

No Mark, it's not named after the beer!

Fantasy Forest at the Flushing Meadows Carousel
A leftover from the 1964 New York World's Fair and the fifth oldest park in the state of New York. (and semi-Disney affiliated)
Woo, Fantasy Forest
I got myself enough tickets for two rides, since most of them were meant for little kids... And I had two more stops to make that day.
(and since Yatpay overslept, he didn't get the joy of watching me ride things here... haha)
Making an extremely short lap around the park, I saw their S&S Frog Hopper.
The Queens Himalaya
Zamp built Queens Motor Speedway
The Corona Choo Choo Zamp built train....
......and the reason I was here
Ahh... the Corona Cobra Coaster
(No Mark, it's not named after the beer)
+1, woo woo!
Opened here in 2013, the ride was relocated from a now closed Jeepers in Southfield, Michigan.
Ha, I was the first rider of the day and pretty much the only person in the park, but the op cycled the train once so I could get a photo of it running. Before heading to the only other ride I rode here.
The Fantasy Forest Carousel / Flushing Meadows Carousel
Built for the 1964 Worlds Fair by combining two historic carousels located in Coney Island
Yaayyy, historical Carousels

And don't forget to check out my AMAZING Vine video.... Video
