Roseland Waterpark, a popular amusement park in upstate New York, announced it will reopen Friday after being closed for three days due to tornadoes and storms that hit it on Monday.
The park said visitors can take advantage of a special promotional discount of $9 off the regular admission price to thank the community for their patience. Tickets will be on sale Friday at a discounted price of $27.95.
“This offer is a token of our gratitude and an opportunity for everyone to re-experience the fun and relaxation that Roseland Water Park is known for,” the park said in a statement.
The park closure was announced on Facebook earlier this week. A damaged power line structure on Eastern Boulevard in Canandaigua, New York, blocked the park's main entrance, preventing visitors from entering, park officials said.
Tornado in Canandaigua, New York
The tornado was rated an EF-0, a weak enhanced Fujita scale tornado, with peak winds of 75 mph. The plane landed at 4:48 p.m. Monday, stayed on the ground for two minutes and traveled 0.7 miles, according to data released Tuesday afternoon. The tornado's path width was 75 yards.
The tornado damaged trees along the north shore of Canandaigua Lake, from Kershaw Park to a development east of the park and all the way to Canandaigua Country Club, according to the weather service. High winds caused some trees to break and some to be uprooted. Some homes suffered damage to shingles, siding and other aluminum panels. There was also some damage to trees and power poles along Eastern Boulevard.
