Let us know how your day at the park was.
"I am so bored."
Ugh....
"You know...it's not too cold out. Maybe I'll go to my REAL homepark."
So, I threw on my shoes....
and walked
to one of the best amusement parks ever
AND it's open all year!
With such rides as
The Screamin' Swing
and No Parking: The Ride
I decided to ride The Screamin' Swing
Man, this ride is intense
Sometimes I can't even tell which way is up.
And fun was had by all, yay!
I decided to skip the kiddie ride.
and rode the BIG ONE
Talk about intense.
I even made a POV video to show you how intense it is.
Big One
Next, was this inverted coaster.
Mighty fun,
and it even had a spiral lift
I decided to skip the dark ride, cause it looked too scary.
and went on The Twisty One
That ride rokked out loud. I even bought my on-ride photo
This park does lack in good flat rides, though.
Man, it seems like Huss isn't even trying anymore.
Things were getting intense, though, so I decided to go and check out the water show.
Amazing, I'd totally see it again.
It was getting late, so I hit the Screamin' Swing before I left.
What a great day. Everything was walk-on. It was almost as if no one else was in the park.
Man....I hate the Off-Season.

Hey I've been to that park before. The slide and playground they had there before this one was built was waay better. (Apparently some girl broke her arm on it or something so they took it down.)

Agreed. The theming was great there. Very submersive. This park seriously needs a merry-go-round or something, though.

^Yeah, it was pretty sweet.
The park had a CAD event going on, so we decided to check it out. I still didn't try the dark ride...too scary. But I did do the duel racing ride thing, pretty sweet. No pictures, though, sorry.

I went to that CAD too, that dark ride was scary, but it was interactive, I got the high score, 1890 points.
