      Oh me too! There was one time during Howl-O-Scream at Busch Gardens they had a scareactor hidden behind a park map and he'd slide the map to the side and scare whoever came up to look at the map. My friend and I stood there for maybe 15-20 minutes just watching and laughing our butts off at people getting scared. Some would scream and run. Others would just jump a bit. So entertaining.

  • @kirstinpafford5821
    @kirstinpafford5821 3 года назад +30

    The double loops are the remaining peices from the Rollercoaster called the dragon. It was one of the more iconic rides there. It was very rickety and it had the over the shoulder restraints. You would slam side to side and your head would bounce off but it was such a fun Rollercoaster. I'm gonna miss it. And those log flumes you saw are from the old log ride that was originally located where that green Rollercoaster (called The Monster) is located now. As the video progressed i was just naming off all the rides I saw and just felt so happy you took your time to come to Iowa! I hope you enjoy your stay and I hope you experience the Iowan kindness!

    This has been my amusement park growing up, living in eastern Iowa. I love that you covered this park in your video. Many great memories made here. Unfortunately they have been under scrutiny lately for some fatalities involving the rides. But it is certainly the best, if not the only amusement park in Iowa.

    @aliceincraftland3388 3 года назад

    I live down the street from Adventureland and have season passes. The Underground is my favorite ride. It is cheesy, but fun and the smell reminds me of the Haunted Mansion at Disneyland (I was born and raised in Anaheim, so I went there a lot as a kid). What I understand about Adventureland's Main Street is that the owners (it's a family owned park) consulted someone who worked for WED and building Disneyland and got permission from the company. I don't know how true that is. Anyways, the Monster is my second favorite ride and the Dragon Slayer is quite "spinny." It's ok. That robot and Zoltar are new. When I was there a few weeks ago they weren't there then. Glad you had fun! We love the water park too and are planning to go after work tomorrow. ☺️

    The loops at rye end was part of the dragon roller coaster ride, it was tore out when they put the new one in you passed through on the skylift. The park swears they resused alot of the dragons parts but did not. Alot of the park has been rearranged quite abit. Thanks for a trip down memory lane. Side note i hauled alot of material on and off site for the new rides years ago.

    On the Underground, they used gravity to propel a dark ride. The Calico Mine ride (built and operated by Bud Hurlbut) at Knott's Berry Farm in Buena Park, Ca (opened Nov 1960) uses the same design. The ride car/train is lifted to it's maximum height via an inclined chain lift and once at the top, the car/train uses the force of gravity to complete the entire track ride. The expectation of a drop is due to years of riding roller coasters...
    Another well done video...
