  • While going through some old digital video from 2008-2010, I found some footage of a few things no longer at Adventureland Park in Iowa.
    More to come when I go through my older tapes...

    Wow it's so nice to see these again. I've moved to Florida and I often go to Busch Gardens and Disney world but I honestly miss Adventureland so much. I miss the rides, the food, the magic parlor, the smell of the park, the pavement under your feet. It will forever hold a place in my heart.

    I remember, many old rides from that place. the driveable model Ts, a Trolley, the mixer, the mountain roller coaster (where the giant farris wheel is now), shows at the place theater, the silo. the scrambler,the dophin shows (where outlaw gulch ride is now).

      Chris Lynch There are some 1970s home movies someone posted on RUclips. They show a few of the things you mentioned. I didn't move here until 1995 so I am unaware of the older stuff. Adventureland.parkhopping.com/Wiki has a history page I have been working on.

    • @allenhuffman

      I believe that one was lost in the Main Street fire years ago, and when they rebuilt that side of Main Street they added a new version there. It’s an all-new building, recreated to look like the original from the outside but VERY different on the inside. Best restroom in the park is in that building, I think.
