Seabreeze Review, New York's Most Charming Amusement Park 

Thanks for not ignoring these "little guy" parks like a lot of other channels do, it's nice to see what's out there besides the big parks like CF, SF, US, SW and Disney.

Been to many parks with the kids over the years. Disney World, Cedar Point, Hershey, Darien Lake, etc. But living only 20 minutes from this park and the overall pleasantness of this park is unmatched. It is a PERFECT park for kids all the way up to 16 years old.

Very small but a charming little community park. A nice slice of Americana.

I'm starting to consider visiting this year since i get in for free for working at Waldameer!! Definitely reminds me of a smaller scale Waldameer.

SeaBreeze is a staple of our childhood and beyond in Rochester, field trips and summer camp days at seabreeze, the Gyrosphere, the old Quantum Loop and that time they got stuck upside down on it… seabreeze might be relatively smaller but it has more charm than you can find at any Six Flags

I grew up in Rochester, and went to this park frequently as a child. I am in my early 40's now. I remember the old carousel and midway, before it burnt down. That fire destroyed a part of my childhood. The old fun house was the best. I don't remember the ghost train you had mentioned. Another notable attraction that is no longer there was the gyrosphere, basically a scrambler ride in a dome with techno music, and crazy pictures projected onto the walls (later was a laser show). It disappeared in the mid 2000's and was replaced by another ride.

I just wanted to let you know that every time I have an upcoming coaster road trip, standard operating procedure for me and my friend is to watch the review you made for each of those parks and no other reviews. And when we're about to visit, that's when we watch your individual coaster reviews within the park as an introduction before we experience it. We don't even bother with other channels' opinions because as far as I'm concerned, your coaster reviews are definitive and the gold standard. Currently traveling through Wisconsin through your reviews 5 days before I do it in real life for the first time. Thank you man

so happy to see Seabreeze here! this has always been my home park and, [While I Am In No Way A Representative Of Seabreeze Or Its Leadership And May Comment Purely As A Civilian], I'd be more than happy to provide some well-informed answers to [Some But Not All] questions anyone might have :)

That park looks pretty charming. I love those classic looking parks.

Ah, the park I grew up with. Not the strongest ride selection, but it's a solid family friendly lineup. Always a charming atmosphere.

Seeing the success that Quassy has had with their new Rocket Rapids Water Cosster, perhaps Seabreeze could benefit themselves by adding one of those next.

You really did a really nice job of capturing the spirit of Seabreeze in this video. Kudos to you! I remember my first visit to Seabreeze, some twenty-three years ago. It was a spur-of-the-moment decision to stop here on our way back from a weekend trip to Kennywood and Darien Lake. Seabreeze was certainly not the biggest of the parks we visited that weekend, but it was by far my favorite. I couldn't really put my finger on what I loved about it. There was just something special in the air. I remember riding the Jack Rabbit over and over, wishing that I could stay all day, but knowing that I had to hit the road and head back home to New England. A few years later, I found myself living in Rochester and Seabreeze became my neighborhood amusement park. I eventually came to know the park's historian who further fueled my love for the park by letting me dig deep into park history and research alongside him, before taking the reigns myself. It was through this that I came to understand what it is that is so special about this place. Seabreeze is truly a treasure and I hope that every amusement park enthusiast has the opportunity to visit at some time in the course of their travels!

Dude. . I live here and had no idea how old it was. What a cool story, thank you. :)

THIS IS MY HOME TOWN I LOVE THIS SM

I spent a few hours there on a Sunday morning, and it was a nice park. The lines were very manageable, which was good. I had to do Seabreeze & Darien Lake on the same day, since I was losing the next day to storms.

I've got my eye on this park, due to the historical value of a couple of its coasters. Also I LOVE Maurer spinners!

In the summer the music from the carousel drifts through the bay and sounds beautiful!

Nice work. Very thorough. I have Been going to Seabreeze every year since 1978. More than anything I’m happy you mentioned the removal of the Banzai body slide. It had a nice little pre drop before the main and my son was fortunate enough to finally get the courage back in 2006 before they removed it. I grew up on that slide. The only thing you missed is the fact that there were 2 other great body slides that they removed at the same time as the Banzai for that horrible 4 lane raceway. They were the 3 my brother and I rode all day while my folks enjoyed the area close by. Sadly for $40 bucks we now feel it has point where the value doesn’t match the cost. Love the review and keep up the good work.

I remember being so excited as a kid to go on school trips to sea breeze

Sadly they got rid of the Gyrosphere. It was an indoor spinning ride that played techno music with a laser light show. That was always my favorite!

I was there in 1988 and rode the jackrabbit. It's a lovely park. Thanks for posting.

I love the old small parks

As a ROC native, that jackrabbit is not for adults lol. Straight gonna throw you around. But I LOVED seeing this on my RU-vid recommended videos.

Never thought much about this park but it looks really cute, and the waterpark is pretty big considering.

One of the best log flumes ever

My favorite thing about this park is there Wave Swinger is the same one from the defunct Hard Rock Park, a piece of interesting history lives on.

Glad this park weathered the STORM! Love also how they gave it back its original name. Just goes to show how a company can CARE for its old park and community.

Thanks for mentioning the carousel! there’s a documentary on it on youtube by the park- It’s fantastic!

Whirl wind is my favorite ride here

Yes it is a lovely and well kept park. I live in this neighboorhood it is a nice community right near Lake Ontario, Durand Eastman Park and Beach. The Irondequoit Bay is beautiful full of boaters and water activities.

I've lived in Rochester my whole life, and Seabreeze is a staple. Nothing fancy, but tons of fun when I was a kid, and I love that it kind of feels frozen in time in some areas. ❤ They did used to have a Ghost House, but that was shut down very long ago.

This video was a hit of nostalgia for me. I went there so many times over the summers as a kid! In fact, I think I went too many times because at some point I just didn’t find it as exciting anymore and went to Darien Lake instead lol! But after seeing this video, I feel like giving it another visit after so long. I’ll update this comment if I do.

Charming in that “get stabbed by Rochester juvenile delinquents” while waiting for a hotdog kind of way.

Shouldn’t it be Lakebreeze?

Roseland Park in Canandaigua N.Y. was my FAVORITE growing up.

According to RCDB, the conversion that took place was to replace already existing steel track into tubular steel track. Not from a wood coaster. Just figured I’d post that minor correction down here.

I met my wife when she was in Rochester, and I paid a few visits to Seabreeze back in the very-early-2000s. They used to have an indoor Scrambler that blasted "Fire On High" by E.L.O. ... sadly, those days are gone.

No idea why I haven't stopped here yet. Also interesting that the log flume looks like it immediately hits the water on that drop, instead of running along some rails to lose speed before it splashes down.

This has been my childhood and current park I go to ever summer always loved this park screaming eagle has won everytime and sucks they chopped down the hours used to be til 10 but still love the park.!

I used to go here all the time when I use to live in Henrietta

It did get the point across, but I find it funny you used a clip of the scenic world bus

I love seabrez

I frequent this park, no one goes for the merry go round, and the staff frequently aren’t the most pleasant. A lot of the rides that bring in people like revolution, bobsleds, and the spin coaster get the most amount of complaints because of how rough they are on people

I remember going here for a field trip for the YMCA it was before time machine was built and Last I remember some of my friends got stuck upside down on Screamin Eagle.

Recorded horizontally:)

Not sure if this park would invest in such a large ride but I'd love to see SkyScreamers at waterside parks like these.

One thing i noticed about capacity is that bobsleds operates at reduced capacity in even the lightest of rain where they fill the cars half and only send one at a time

I just looked to see if you had a review, that was fast shipping.

Do you know if Seabreeze is cool with GoPro filming?

I don't think you mentioned that the bay is part of Lake Ontario, connecting the US to Canada.

Wait...over the falls doesn't exist anymore?! 😮

Why did I read that as "seabeach"

used to cop weed here

Key west cooler

Seabreeze is considered to be a family amusement park that should be acquired by Herschend Family Entertainment one day.

Never heard of this park I will have to try it out next summer I live about 4 hours from Rochester I live in St Lawrence county on the st-lawrence river in a little city called ogdensburg
