Off-Season Blues

Let us know how your day at the park was.

"I am so bored."

Ugh....


Image
"You know...it's not too cold out. Maybe I'll go to my REAL homepark."

So, I threw on my shoes....
Image
and walked
Image
to one of the best amusement parks ever
Image
AND it's open all year!

With such rides as
Image
The Screamin' Swing
Image
and No Parking: The Ride

Image
I decided to ride The Screamin' Swing
Image
Man, this ride is intense
Image
Sometimes I can't even tell which way is up.
Image
And fun was had by all, yay!

I decided to skip the kiddie ride.
Image
and rode the BIG ONE
Image
Image
Talk about intense.

I even made a POV video to show you how intense it is.

Big One

Next, was this inverted coaster.
Image
Mighty fun,
Image
and it even had a spiral lift

I decided to skip the dark ride, cause it looked too scary.
Image
and went on The Twisty One
Image
That ride rokked out loud. I even bought my on-ride photo
Image

This park does lack in good flat rides, though.
Image
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.
Image
Amazing, I'd totally see it again.

It was getting late, so I hit the Screamin' Swing before I left.
Image

What a great day. Everything was walk-on. It was almost as if no one else was in the park.
Image


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.
