Alabama Adventure & Splash Adventure - So Many Parks 132

- Опубликовано: 10 июл 2024
- Alabama Adventure is a small park with an even smaller ride lineup. This park in the Deep South is mostly known for their water park, however they are also home to an utterly fantastic CCI wood coaster called Rampage. Rampage is integrated perfectly into its landscape, so perfectly that it was also one of the most difficult coasters for me to film! But it's a thrilling ride that packs in the laterals. Speaking of laterals, this park also has Cheddar Chase, which I think might be one of the best names for a wild mouse coaster ever!
This is So Many Parks, So Little Time; a series where I document the many amusement parks I stop by this summer. Join me for some fun times, some great people, and of course the coasters. New videos every Tuesday.

I'm not surprised they trimmed Cheddar Chase. That ride could break a rib when it ran untrimmed at Lake Winnie.
Ouch! I can imagine. On the untrimmed turns towards the end of the ride, it really feels like getting t-boned lol.
Another great video
Thanks so much! 😀
I've probably ridden rampage 30 times. I live about an hour from "(VisionLand)" lol.
Nice! Rampage is a pretty awesome coaster to have close to home.
It was growing up, I loved it, and the Tennessee tornado at dollywood. We use to go every year until about 2012.
18:09 - fun fact: that very Scrambler used to operate here in Pennsylvania at Lakemont Park. When they were refurbishing the ride for installation at Alabama Adventure, they found one of the commemorative Leap-The-Dips tickets (stating “I Rode the World’s Oldest Roller Coaster”) wedged in one of the seats.
Sidebar: welcome to the thirty club!
Oh wow! I didn't realize that's where their Scrambler came from. Was that during the period where they sold off a bunch of their rides and nearly shut down? That ticket must have been such an awesome find.
Lol, thanks! I turn 31 next month, so I've been in the club for a little while now.
You’d be correct: it was when Lakemont had sold off most of their rides, to which I know where a few others ended up (the Ferris Wheel and Twister, for instance, were purchased by Midway State Park in NY, and three of the kiddie rides by Funtimes Fun Park in OH).
And indeed! The park sure thought it was an awesome find: they posted it to their Facebook page (which is how I know it came from PA).
Lol well a belated ‘welcome to the thirty club,’ then!
Yup, the was the year I tried to visit the Lakemont, but only got a nice view of it from the highway. Hopefully this year will be the year. But I'm glad that so many of the rides got new homes, that's honestly more than I was expecting.
Nice! I love when parks celebrate cool history like that.
Thanks a lot! 😀
Nah man the Rampage is the best wooden coaster in the world. I remember riding it on repeat when i was a kid
It’s such a great ride! I can only imagine how next level it must have been when it was new.
@@CivilianSatellite hey thanks for what you’re doing, I loved this. Your presentation is so well-honed! Keep pressing on, partner. Sol Invictus!
You feel old?!?!?!? Yeeeaaaaaaah. 😂 I first rode Rampage in its second year of operation. When you were 6!!!! Ugh.
And Yup!! It’s all about the laterals!! Does the “do nothing” hill, still do nothing? (Middle of the ride, looks like it should give massive airtime, feels like it wants to, and never delivers.) Do they still have 2 trains? It was always pretty much always a walk-on with 2 trains (except for enthusiast events, called “Rip, Roaring, Rampage”, where you may have a 2-3 train wait). Great to hear it’s still running well!
I had a feeling you would have something to say about that remark 🤣. Although I am friends with a number of enthusiasts who weren't even born when Rampage opened, so that's probably where that came from. I think I know the hill you're talking about, and I think I recall there being a pinch of floater airtime, but none of the airtime moments really hit that hard aside from the first drop towards the back. They don't have two trains anymore, and from what I have heard, haven't had a second train since the Koch's bought the park. But on the day I went, even with one train, it was a walk on the entire day.
How much to enter
It looks like they haven't released their 2023 prices yet, but last year was $40 buying online and $45 at the gate.
