Adventureland, Iowa
- Space Shot: a 200ft Space Shot that Played "Angel Of the Morning" which I liked
- Silly Silo: A Chance Rotor (First For Me)
- River Rapids Log Flume: OK, Nothing like Logger's Run but Pretty Good.
- Tornado: 93ft Wooden L Shaped Out & Back Coaster. OK
- Round Up: Tilt A Whirl
- The Dragon: 2 Looping Coaster (Rough as Heck)
- Outlaw: 67ft Wooden Twister Coaster. Not as good at Viper but No Complaints.
- Kokomo Kove: Water Play Area in the Middle of Nowhere. I just Dipped my Feet and it looked cool
- Sidewinder: Moser Sidewinder (It Pinches)
- Raging River: River Rapids Ride (BLOWS BIG TIME!!!!!!)

Nickelodeon Universe, Minnesota

- Jimmy Neutrons Atomic Collider: Zierer Spinning Ride (First for Me)
- Pepsi Orange Streak: Zierer Family Coaster. Pretty Fun and Does what It Should.
- Splat O Sphere: 60ft Moser Drop Tower that Bounces up and down.
- El Circulo del Cielo: Chance Ferris Wheel. Good views of the park and also took a picture for 2 people
- Log Chute: Log Flume with 3 Drops and a pretty good themed ride.



Como Town, Minnesota

Sounds like you had a fun trip.

One minor correction, the top spin at Adventureland is a Moser.

I really like Adventureland, something about that park that just appeals to me. Tends to be a really laid back park, if you ask most of the time they will let you take your camera on the Space Shot to take pics. And generally for the final hour or so of the day you can pick a seat on Tornado and sit there for the rest of the night (at least when I go early/late in the season and crowds are light. Sidewinder the Moser frisbee ride is really good also along with sawmill splash, depends how they have the pads arranged in the trough, but it can spin at incredible speeds.
Favorite Wood Coasters: Raven, Thunderhead, El Toro
Favorite Steel: Expedition GeForce, Olympia Looping
Coasters Ridden:Steel: 439, Wood: 128, Total: 567
