Two New Rides Coming to Palace Playland in Old Orchard Beach, Maine

Each and every summer, people pile into the small town of Old Orchard Beach to soak up the sun and enjoy a piece of Maine's beautiful coastline. While the sprawling beach may be the big draw for most people, it's not the only reason people make OOB a summer destination.

That's where Palace Playland comes in. New England's only beachfront amusement park has remained a constant over the years, offering families incredible games, a massive arcade and a variety of thrilling rides.

Over the past several years, Palace Playland has been updating their amusement park with new offerings and it appears they're ready to bring a couple additional rides to the park in 2025.

Palace Playland Teases a New Wind Surfer Ride for 2025

If you're going to be located next to the beach, why not have a Wind Surfer thrill ride? Palace Playland explains it as a glider ride that will lift you 30 feet into the air as you reach for the clouds and enjoy the scenery.

According to Wisdom Rides of America, the original Wind Surfer ride is a modernized take on the classic amusement Flying Scooter ride that was featured at most fairs. It doesn't appear that this will be the same ride featured at Palace Playland despite the shared name.

Palace Playland is Being Secretive About Another New Ride

While details for the Wind Surfer ride were available, there's another new ride listed by Palace Playland that seems to be shrouded in more mystery. That would be the Nitro Speed.

Searches about the Nitro Speed simplay showcase a rollercoaster, which seems unlikely for Palace Playland considering the space availability.

With spring right around the corner, Palace Playland will likely release additional details about this mysterious new ride in the coming weeks.
