A VACATIONER has revealed they stayed across the street from a house directly next to a theme park, with a ride swinging over the top of the home.
They took to social media to joke about buying the property without first seeing it.
TikToker Rumor Millz (@rumormillz) posted a video that one ride from the theme park was so close to the home that it would swing over the structure when running.
"When you buy the house sight unseen," they wrote in a caption on the clip with a frowning emoji.
The theme park could be seen and heard just over a small privacy fence by the home as the song Oh No by KREEPA played in the background.
The influencer claimed that when the property was listed online, it noted an appealing location near the local boardwalk.

"And the listing had the audacity to say 'conveniently located near the boardwalk,'" the influencer alleged.
It's unclear what the listing online previously described.
Either way, Rumor claimed they were "p***ed," and it was supposedly a case of "false advertising."
Several users chimed in the comments section that it was at least partially the influencer's fault for not checking out the location further.

"I mean who you p****d at, yourself for not even looking on Google maps?" one person questioned.
Another wrote: "Bro how does anyone buy a house without seeing it."
"Technically every time the boat swings the people on it are trespassing. Just build a tall wall there lol," a third joked.
The house is confirmed to be real and located in the Atlantic coastal town of Rehoboth Beach, Delaware, about two hours from Wilmington.
Although the influencer doesn't live in it, they were renting an Airbnb across the street and had an idea to make the funny post, per Delaware Online.

Other locals also took notice of the seemingly oddly placed home, in which the Sea Dragon boat ride swings directly over.
Author and English teacher Melanie McCabe wrote about the humorous residence in the Barely South Review through a creative piece titled, In the Shadow of the Sea Dragon.
"I imagine the child put to sleep in that back bedroom. Lying awake as the colors flash over his body, as the creature’s bared fangs fill the window, obliterate the sky," she wrote in a portion of the essay.
"Would the screams he heard fade to a white noise, heard so often that it was no longer listened to at all?
"Or would they be threaded each night through his dreams, no plotline possible but one that encompasses peril?"
She further questioned: "Who willingly pays to rent a getaway presided over by a sea monster?"
A former employee claimed in the comments on Rumor's TikTok clip that the homes surrounding it are owned by the theme park, including the Sea Monster house.
"LOL I used to work at funland. They own all the houses surrounding funland," they wrote.
It is true that the Fasnacht family, who opened and has owned and operated Funland for decades, also manages the home, according to Delaware Online.
A 2019 book on Funland titled Land of Fun: The Story of an Old-Fashioned Amusement Park for the Ages revealed that residents Gwen and Randy Curry live at the Sea Dragon house.
Gwen is the niece of Al Fasnacht, 92, who still runs the park.
The couple's son, Ian, even grew up in the home's rear bedroom, directly over where the Sea Dragon swings in the summertime, and has done so since 1990.
He now works full-time at Funland as part of the fourth generation of the Fasnacht family to do it.
