    This is my local theme park. We live only 10ish mins away from it been going since I was one month old and I am 11 I highly recommend going in October there is something called the fall fest Adventureland. The fall fest is where 17 to 16 year olds get to be dressed up and they get in scary costumes and also it only happens at night but in the day everything is still all set up and you can go through like haunted houses and everything and during the fall fest I recommend riding the red Spinney ride/the dragon slayer you. would probably think it’s scary in line, but I promise you is not. It is the funniest freaking thing in the world. I love it’s probably like my favorite ride for some reason it’s less scarier than the green roller coaster/the monster I have been on every single ride there and for beginners here are some ages were recommended rides through in my opinion starting at 3 u can ride carousel shaken bacon, and tea cups shaken bacon 3-13 tea cups 3-80 carousel 3- any age starting at 5 Phoenix Derflinger flying Viking falling Viking tilt-a-wherl starting at 6 tornado outlaw and all the rest of the rides are good for all ages

    I know this is silly, but I cried at the Harry Potter section. I loved those books and movies growing up and when I got the chance to go to CA in 2018, I wanted to go to Universal so bad just for the Wizarding World section. But my cousin, who I was staying with, convinced me to go to Disneyland. Disneyland was still cool, but it felt more ride driven, whereas Universal seems more experience driven. If I ever get the chance to visit CA again, I WILL go to Universal. I just need to make sure I have money for food and souvenirs. 🤣

      Not silly at all! My sister loves Harry Potter as well and this was the ONLY place she wanted to make sure we for sure didn’t miss! So I get it!

    @MegaMerlin2011 Месяц назад

    Thank you. I haven't been there in years, and starting to miss the old Adventureland. I don't miss the rough Dragon, but the design was a good steel coaster. Used to go during State Fair, and the park would usually be empty, so my friends and I would ride Tornado or something continuously until we were bored. Recently, I drove by after visiting the State Fair and noticed the long line for the Tornado. Also, sad a Walmart and commercial area moved into the empty corn fields behind the Tornado as the corn fields used to provide a nice view. I prefer looking at a sea of fields than a Walmart parking lot with an Arbys from 100ft up. The log ride used to be fun. Put the heavy people in the back and a wall of water comes splashing over on the drop. Surprised the sawmill Splash is still there. Rode it once with my friends. 3 of us were a bit heavy. We had so much speed coming around the u turn that the boat nearly went over the edge. Seemed a little dangerous to me. Outlaw is fun, but I get uneasy watching the whole coaster sway on the first drop. Lastly, the Raging Rapids or whatever was a staple ride. Sad to see it go. Another thing I've heard disappeared was the trolley shuttle from the resort. Also heard lately from people that the resort is trashy. The resort used to be so cool with the giant pool before they added the new addition with another pool. We'd get a room by the pool, and family friends would get together in the afternoon or evening to enjoy pizza, card games, or beer before hopping in the pool at night when the bar in the pool area had live music. Sucks the good times are over. I guess that means I need to make new good times somewhere else.

      I grew up coming to this park and I feel opposite as you. I think the park has improved tremendously, they added new, thrilling rides, and old woodies like tornado were NOT enough to make this a good park. Personally I cannot speak on the resort side, but heard they have put some good work into that as well. I totally think this this is a place where good times happen and would recommend this park to anyone looking for a fun day. Sorry you feel otherwise but I don’t believe that’s true that the “good times are over”. Very sad to hear you feel this way when I believe the park is doing better now than ever!

    Utah resident for 31yrs here. DO NOT SUPPORT THIS POORLY RUN AMUSEMENT PARK; I’m a Lyft driver and tell everyone who’s traveling/vacationing to stay away, same as any local here. The owners are /bad/ people. Their security team is made up mostly of 16 year old teens with no previous training to keep wages as low as they can. They make $15-$16/hr, same as the guy making your cheeseburger, so in essence, not enough for security staff to care about the job in a serious way. Now imagine, what if a 300lb drunk man had to be escorted out by 125lb, 16yr old Mackenzie? When I called them out of FB, and got major engagement in the comments thread discussing their security, me and everyone on that list got blocked. No response from Lagoon. Their “zoo” has been boycotted for years, online and physically outside their gates; us locals think it’s beyond cruel how they treat those animals and it hasn’t changed for all 31 years I’ve been here. Working conditions (according to several friends who’ve personally worked there) are abysmal; hot buildings and no running AC when working food service or anywhere indoors, insane heat with no shade, misters, or fans to help cool down employees for 6-8hrs in the 98 degree or more summer heat, extremely low pay (to this day), and horrible, sometimes abusive management staff. DO NOT GIVE THEM YOUR MONEY. THEY ARE CHARGING DISNEYLAND PRICES TO ABUSE THEIR STAFF AND ANIMALS IN THEIR CARE.

      Yes it is considered to be one of the best independent parks in the country (compared to the chains like six flags and SeaWorld etc)

    I have ridden the Paratroopers by myself on multiple occasions so whoever told you that you couldn't ride alone is full of balony. You missed Rattle Snake Rapids just behind Pioneer Village. Also the family ride Odssey Ride is pretty fun it squirts water and you can try to get wet or try not to get wet.

    Dude... that Timerber Wolf used to be super janky. Like you would walk off of that thing with whiplash.

      100% agree it used to be an unbearable ride I came here many times as a kid as I grew up in Nebraska and it’s WAY better now than it used to be

    Timber Wolf is way better than Prowler from my experience. Prowler's lap bars versus Timber Wolf's are too tight against the stomach and lend very poor comfort, and that's why I quit riding Prowler and haven't since my visit from June 23rd of last year. Timber Wolf's lap bars go directly on the lap instead of my stomach. I'm 5'8'' and nearly 220 pounds but working on my diet. I do like how Timber Wolf has been re-tracked like most typical woodies do and that it's much smoother nowadays than it was then, and that they had to replace the 560-degree helix with a 70-degree over-banked hairpin turn back during the 2017-18 off-season. Before I was tall enough to outgrow the kiddy rides, Timber Wolf originally didn't have the headrests and their lap bars were the shared kinds (like what the Tornado and Outlaw at Adventureland still use today) before they changed them to the individual ratcheting kinds. Speaking of Cosmic Coaster, adults are actually only allowed if riding with kids in their party under 54 inches tall for the sake of being a kiddy ride, and it says on their website that any guest exceeding 54 inches tall must ride with a child below that height in the range. I rode Cosmic Coaster back when it was the Wacky Worm when I was little in the 90s and when Planet Snoopy was Pandamonium back then. Le Taxi Tour that I grew up with, they recently got new taxis by Gould Manufacturing and use a left-hand drive configuration while the older ones from Arrow Development that are left over use the right-hand drive configuration.

    What do you mean by shuffling?

    • @Bigguyrides
      @Bigguyrides Месяц назад

      Shuffling is when the coaster car slides side to side on the track rails instead of rolling smoothly over them as intended. It creates a very rough ride (as you can see in the POV by how shaky it is) and usually is caused by long usage, general wear and tear.
