New Waldameer ride ‘Time Twister' in process of being built
Waldameer Park is in the process of assembling their newest ride this week, which will be called the Time Twister. The new attraction finds its home next to the 'Whacky Shack' where the 'Spider,' which was taken down in the off-season, once sat. To celebrate 75 years, Art's Bakery hosts four-day anniversary event Parts of the new ride will continue to arrive throughout the week. It's a project that has been in the works for about a year now. Love to laugh? Check out the 2025 Flagship City Comedy Festival lineup 'It's not as spinny and dizzying as maybe the Spider that used to be there. That feeling though, is really neat, the near misses that you get. It's kind of like a vertical scrambler, I like to call it. The near misses, the spinning action, you're going to get some airtime as you're coming down. I think it's going to be a really great, thrilling family ride,' said Brian Gorman, COO of Waldameer. Their goal is for construction to finish by Monday, April 28. Throughout the next week, the ride will be tested so that it's ready for the opening day of the park. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc.

Erie residents celebrate Pi Day with sweet treats, math problems
Friday was March 14 or better known as National Pi Day! People were celebrating all things pi by consuming both mathematical digits and delicious treats. I cannot recite anything past 3 point 1 4, but I met someone who can name up to 190 digits. 'Some of these students have pi memorized through hundreds of digits,' said Dr. Korey Kilburn, a math professor at PennWest Edinboro. '3 point 1 4 1 5 9 2 6 5 3 5…' said Mia Liu, a senior at McDowell High School. What's a card skimmer and how is it stealing people's SNAP benefits For Mia Liu, it's as easy as pie to recite the mathematical constant commonly approximated as 3.14. Liu, along with hundreds of local high school students gathered at PennWest Edinboro for a plethora of pi-related activities. Aspiring statisticians and data analysts took on challenges while learning the history behind pi and how it can be applied to everyday use. 'We use it a lot in geometry,' said Chevelle Hunter, a senior at Conneaut Area Senior High.
