Word around the park is it wont be around much longer. The land the park sits on is worth to much money and also people who live by the park dont like it.

Best Ride: Adrenalin
Palace Playland is a rare beachside park with some great flats on Old Orchard Beach.
Coasters- The park doesn't offer much in terms of coasters, but their Galaxi is the best one I've been on anywhere since it actually provides air on the two major drops. The views are good too. The Orient Express kiddie coaster is the worst coaster I've ever been on so I recommend you avoid it.
Flat Rides- This is definitely where Palace Playland excels since they actually have some very good flats. Adrenalin is definitely the park's best attraction. It's a street fighter (frisbee) that is insane, giving incredible air and unbelievable Gs. The Terminator (kamikaze) is cool as well and they have a small, but fun drop tower. They also have a Power Surge and a collection of spinning rides like a troika.
Water Rides- They used to have a good water slide tower, but now they only have a standard portable log flume in Cascade Falls.
Fun House- The Grand Orient Fun House is very good since all the gags work and there are some very unique ones like the spinning barrel and the spinning platform.
Food- The food inside the park is lacking, but Lisa's Pizza (next to the park) has very good pizza and the best fried dough I've ever had.
Atmosphere- Palace Playland is pretty dirty, but it is nice that it's a beachfront park.
