I go to Adventureland almost every couple of years because my dad likes to take us I don't know if he's going to be doing that now that we're all grown up but I hope so I hate driving near there though because of how much traffic😂
Fun facts: Adventureland was designed to feel like Disney World. Monster was the first Gerstlauer Infinity coaster in the western hemisphere. Dragon Slayer is, by far, the best S&S free spin to have ever been built. And I may or may not have contributed to some of that Underground graffiti.
As someone who's from Iowa but not living there, it makes me happy to see recent footage from the park I grew up going to! Edit: Outlaw was my first ride ever
Mike's stare into the camera after the operator on Dragon Slayer started "dancing"... Priceless. I don't recognize a few of those, and I think I rode one that isn't there anymore. I suppose lots has happened since I was there last maybe 8 years ago, I think the whole "fake Disneyland" entry area burned down since then, etc.
The Dragon with the two loops was removed due to its age. That’s What the two loops are they have absolutely no reason to be there. The Dragon Slayer replaced it.
We are literally the people behind you guys when you get off Monster and I think we even rode together for McLovin’s 500th. We we’re going to say hi but didn’t want to awkwardly interrupt your video. Pretty cool to see you guys in Iowa though.
Molly Trolley.... that's what we used to call the designated driver's car that brought everyone home from a dance party! 🤣 And Mike's face at the ride op's dancing.... absolute gold 🏆
The Outlaw and the Underground are my 2 favorite roller coasters at Adventure Land, (Yes I live in Iowa, pretty local to Adventure Land really.) I love the theme of the Underground being that you go down into a mine shaft and you see accidents all over the place. Plus the writing on the walls in the waiting line, does add some hilarity, especially when you're waiting. The Outlaw on the other hand fits the Western theme of the area and it's a fun ride.
I have an intense love for Adventureland ever since I was a little kid. I especially have a deep love for The Underground. It is the only coaster in the park that I could make myself get on without trembling from fear so bad that my legs turned to jelly. I am so happy to hear that you guys loved the ride! As a secondary note, I have also always wanted to join a group of coaster enthusiasts and also design coasters for a living, but I feel I never would get the opportunity to. It's an end-goal for me, but it's going to take me a long time to get there. And I also love rollercoasters with an undying passion, but I am too afraid to ride them. To date, the only coasters I've been on are The Underground, and the Timber Twister up north in Minnesota. LOVED IT SO MUCH!!! (Despite nearly vomiting when I got to the lift hill, lol)
I've come to realize after seeing Tumbili and Dragon Slayer that free spins aren't actually that ugly, six flags just really soiled how they look with the ugly color schemes.
Mike is hilarious! Mclovin is awesome. Love every coaster idiots episode. So much effort out it and we notice man! Keep it up! Ps. UNCLE NAAAAAAAAATEEEEEE WAHHHHHZZUUUPPPPPPP
Awww the double loop white roller coaster used to be the best, I didn’t know they got rid of it. I think it was called The Dragon and had medieval themeing
0:48 SLIPKNOT!!!! Thank you Ryan that put a big smile on my face! I’ll be seeing them at Rockville in Daytona Beach along with my 2nd favorite band ever, GOJIRA!! Love you Ryan!
I wish I could have met you at A-land, but I was driving the Train. I did get to meet Mike when they arrived though! Love the content, really cool to see people making trips to Adventureland now!
4:38 That was Great American Scream Machine at SFOG. Jackhammering like a mofo on valleys. I had to brace my legs like I have never had to before on a coaster. Enjoyed it once I did that though. Didn't vibrate my brain like it usually does. Video was entertaining as ever. Always enjoy a Coaster Idiots video
I'm so confused about the trim brake lesson on Monster. Why do the trim brakes go down no the lift hill...? What is the point of them going down if the trains aren't even passing through that area at that time? Sorry if that's a dumb question... new to rollercoaster terms/specs
OG Dragon had one of the roughest pre-rides I've ever ridden. It was a couple of bunny hills where the tops were so sharp they tried to snap your neck. It's too bad they don't still have Der Flitzer which was a fun alpine coaster and Super Screamer which was a little Galaxy coaster. Tornado wasn't always super janky and it never ran the blue train when I was there. It was always the red train.. It used to be a bit more smooth. I always liked the little jog at the top of the second hill. Always gave me some nice little laterals when I was a kid.
Aaah I’m so excited you went to Adventureland! I went here in 8th grade for physics class. I don’t think I’ve been back since. I remember riding The Tornado, The Outlaw, and The Dragon. Not sure what it’s like now since it’s been…more than a decade.
I'm surprised that you said the word "Adventure Land", it kinda reminds me of the one at long Island! LOL! But anyways, I'm glad you guys had fun riding on Dragon Slayer!
Ahh its good you got in so soon! they are gonna close soon for the winter (yea i know its only sep but they do close soon) but it looks like ya'll enjoyed it which is ofc a good thing :)
i seriously cannot believe i used to be scared of riding tornado. kinda glad i was because im sure that wouldve caused major back problems down the line.
Guys I just want to say this in case nobody has before. You don't have to ride the free spin. It's okay to skip the free spin and miss the credit if you don't want to ride it. It's perfectly normal to want to ride everything in the park and see your credit count increment just a little bit more, but it's also okay to put your own feelings first and simply not ride a clone of the same coaster that you hate at a dozen times at a dozen different parks. This goes for all other low quality clones. Sincerely, Spongebob Johnson
I have worked in Iowa every summer for the past 5 years. I live in Florida. I love this green monster coster. It is my favorite coster and I swear it readjust my back . Love the monster
Great video. Such a totally different park. I used to go back in the early 80's the tornado was about it back then except for some carnival type rides. They used to have this spinning ride that was fun.
I used to marathon Outlaw as a kid but the last time I went it was so horribly rough I had no idea how I was able to do it lol. It could be better now tho because it’s been a while since I last went (like I was still going on Dragon and the inverter which was replaced by the Mauer) or it was just an off day but it made tornado look smooth. Also it’s hilarious what’s become of that animatronic on the Underground. It used to move to explain the story of the coaster or something but obviously it has seen better days 😂
You should do a video on the coaster called The Bolt. Its a self driving coaster, the trains look more like a motorcycle that you can control the speed yourself. It looks very interesting and would like more info on its design. The Bolt is only found on a Cruise Ship, called Carnival Mardi Gras Cruise Ship. All I know about it is that it goes up to 40mph and 187ft above sea level. Just wondering if you could find more info on this coaster.

I wonder how many people subscribe on Problematic Roller Coasters, then see Coaster Idiots and question their lives. I love both lol
i love both too
I think about that everyday tbh 😂
@@ElToroRyan I started watching your problematic coasters videos, then clicked on a coaster idiots and was so confused the entire time
@@ElToroRyan your mix of informative and hilarious, real content is amazing, keep it up bruh
ye but I kind of don't like the coaster idiots series
‘Come on over to Adventure Land. You’re gonna have a fun-filled day!’ I grew up going to this park. I love it.
Same
Yup

5:55 is pure gold 😆
ElToroRyan: the only man to calculate how a trim brake works to improve the ride.
As someone who's from Iowa but not living there, it makes me happy to see recent footage from the park I grew up going to!
Edit: Outlaw was my first ride ever
Same. Glad to see they finally got new coasters. Mad to see tornado is still garbage
Man so many memories spent in line at the outlaw 😂
100% the same story. Happy to see the dragon finally got the axe. It’s age was starting to show
Before they made the Dragon, the Outlaw was my favorite!
@@SuperJolla84 WHAT?! The Tornado was the best coaster! Maybe you are thinking of the Outlaw? Was it? That one was a bumpy ride
Did you know that some Disney Imagineer’s helped design this park!
Ahhhhh ok that makes a lot of sense now! I didn’t know that!

I absolutely DIED when Mike looked into the camera after that free spin operator did…whatever it was that he chose to do 🤣💀

My home park as well! The Underground is such a meme which makes it amazing. Glad you got to experience The Monster though, excellent coaster!
Are you guys gonna go back to Iowa next year to ride the FIRST EVER Vekoma SLC with an extended helix in America (and Kanonen)?
SLC WITH NEW TRAINS!!!!!!
The fact you listened to slipknot in Iowa and heretic anthem is off the Iowa album, it really fits the bill!!
And threw the clip from disasterpieces in there. Thats a guy who knows what's up
@@repairshop22 for reall 🤘🏽
@Shawn Stafford when people comment just to be negative
Amazing live band. Put on an awesome show.
@@tanyanewman55almost considered a symphony.😂
Outlaw was designed by Mike Boodley.... who left CCI to cofound GCI. That is why it rides like a GCI. I rode it my first time last month, fun coaster
im the guy who met you on storm chaser! was really fun to see you and i hope you come back in the future!
hi craft
@@vandanke hi
When I rode the Phoenix they played the song from mortal combat on the speakers 🤣

I rode it in 2012, it was awesome! My very first upside down roller coaster. Beats me why they ever got rid of it😭
When Ryan puts Slipknot in a video when I’m about to go see them live 😭😂
Word up! I’m seeing them in October at PNC!
@@ElToroRyan hell yea! I’m seeing them oct 13th!
October 19th or November 11th for me!
That green rollercoaster at 12:10 looks SUPER fun. It kind of reminds me of The Smiler
I honestly never would have imagined you"d go to my home par in IOWA
If you don't blast through Slipknot's Iowa in the car, have you really been to Iowa?
Yes and no...?

I've lived in iowa all my life and havnt done that yet LOL

Can you do a video on the accent on top thrill dragster?
I liked how you edit the video to highlight the spine crunching areas of a coaster.
this is the #1 coaster channel on yt
The zero g stall on the underground was really cool!👍
Awesome park, cute and fun small park. Loved wok and rolls orange chicken, dole whip is a must. Monster was amazing fun

Let’s goooo! Still waiting for Michigan’s Adventure too 🤪
I love the early 2000s metal you play 😂
Everyone loves the underground lol and if you’re there on a super hot day the mist they do is heavenly
Woohoo! Home park!
Just as I'm obsessing over Infinity coasters y'all upload another video of one, you're my hero
Slipknot! Love to hear it \m/
Did you guys listen to Slipknot knowing the band came from a town 5 mintues away from altoona or was it just a coincidence?
We knew they were from the area!
Slipknot's from Des Moines.
Couldn’t have been the world’s worst wooden coaster…. Or did you forget Hellcat at Clementon Park? 🤣
True, forgot all about Hellcat 😂
What day in June 2021 were you at the park? Because I also went that same month.
what's the background music Ryan always uses?
Happy to hear the the best version of the trims hitting this week on Coaster Idiots! Actually really missed that sound last time
McLovin is so adorably awkward ha I freaking love him 😍😍
The Mower Spinner looks like the Steel Dragon at Waldameer.
Yo, what's that song u use in the background?
Can’t wait to do the rapids ride!
#boycottadventurelandrapids
A kid died on it and it killed an employee before that an elderly man
@@calebbrendlinger8977 I’m aware
The absolute last thing i was expecting to hear in a coaster idiots video was slipknot and lamb of god
you guys are ride or diers... or something like that. i love this series. makes me want to quit my job and be a fulltime coaster bum.
OG Dragon had one of the roughest pre-rides I've ever ridden. It was a couple of bunny hills where the tops were so sharp they tried to snap your neck.

Great video. Now I need to never go there. But Waldameer should get a copy of that green ride at the end.
Glad to see im not the only one listening to alot of slipknot this summer, rip joey
I love Mike, he's a classic!

Suh bruh! ♥️ much love
I'm so excited for the Coaster Idiots episode on Michigan's Adventure. I know it's not the best park, but I went there so many times growing up.
Congrats on 80k! This looks like an actually fun park tho ngl
I’m new to the channel and loving the content. The memes are great lol
The Mean Streak brake sound is back!
Bout to go to adventure land this weekend. Def not doing the free spin lol.
Ahh its good you got in so soon! they are gonna close soon for the winter (yea i know its only sep but they do close soon) but it looks like ya'll enjoyed it which is ofc a good thing :)
I was just waiting for a Slipknot-Joke 🤘🏼😂
Love it when ACE provides a 4% discount!!
i seriously cannot believe i used to be scared of riding tornado. kinda glad i was because im sure that wouldve caused major back problems down the line.
Come on guys we’ve all been sleeping on the legit storm chaser in the middle of nowhere Iowa. Anyways keep up the good work and happy 500 to mclovin
I definitely got stuck in the restraints on the OG dragon and had to ride it twice. Oh the memories 😂

I’m starting a petition to have Slipknot as the station music for Dragon Slayer
My current home park. I do miss my former home park, Six Flags Over Texas though. Cool video!
The ‘okay’ makes me double over every time 😂

Nothing better to drive through Iowa then slipknot
From a fellow Iowan.... Thank you for reviewing Adventureland! Someone died earlier this summer on one of their coasters.
It was the Raging River, not a coaster.
I grew up at this park i know people think iowa is just farms and corn, its also home not many states can say they got there own theme park
We all love to hate freespins, but my GP friends are obsessed with the one in Great Adventure and that thing is always crowded.
Makes me want to go back to Adventureland. Been nearly 10 years. A fair bit of things have changed
Untill like 8 years ago there wasn't trims or a seatbelt on the tornado
I was there 3 weeks ago and holy hell, Monster is an elite Gerstlaur
The brake run joke is probably the dumbest thing I've seen on youtube, and it ABSOLUTELY gets more hilarious every time it happens.

13:13 it looked and sounded like butter
Don't forget to go to Lost Island Theme Park next year.
