Adventureland (Iowa) Discussion Thread
AdventureJack replied to rbpia's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Getting excited! They just put on the arms - the seats are next. This confirms that this model is not just shorter but also thinner than the ones at Cedar Fair parks. -

Section 5 is up. I also noticed the little structure getting built in front of it. I wonder what that will be? -

That would be really cool if we could meet up! Don't know if you are interested in Mondail Windseekers but the new ride is scheduled to open in June. Don't know exactly when I am planning on going but yeah. -

It's a great little park. It is family owned so it's more about charm and friendliness than being bigger and better. There are some great rides though and very clean. Hope you enjoy it! -

2nd piece going up! It does look really close to the red barn in the back. The themed area of this part of the park is County Fair so it would be really cool if they could involve it as part of the Q line for the ride. -
What is your next park?
AdventureJack replied to onewheeled999's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
If everything works out it will be Cedar Point. I'll for sure be going to Worlds of Fun and Adventureland. I really want to go up north and see Valleyfair also. -
Three closest parks near you
AdventureJack replied to mike541x's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
I'm from Des Moines, IA so here is my list 1. Adventureland - 20 Minutes 2. Worlds of fun - Almost 3 Hours 3. Valleyfair - 3 1/2 Hours -
It's funny how Adventureland AND Worlds of Fun both got Windseekers from Mondial this year. It's also funny how then both of them changed the name of the ride. Adventureland is my home park and will always come first in my heart, but Worlds of Fun is my second favorite. I love going there and they have some great coasters. When I found out that Adventureland was getting a Windseeker back in the fall I was freaking out because usually we are the smaller brother when it comes to getting rides. All of a sudden I find out that oh wait... yup Worlds of Fun is getting one too. So much for getting a big jump on the competition. But anyway both parks are great and I know that fans of both parks were probably hoping for a coaster, but I really do think that this will be a good addition for Aland and WOF.

That is interesting... Haha. Great minds think alike. Oh, btw I forgot to post something. This is a photo that was posted about a week ago on their wall. "Building a big ride requires an even BIGGER crane! Looking forward to watching the Storm Chaser rise into the sky - it opens in JUNE!" It will really look cool right next to the Space Shot. I can't wait for the park's new skyline! -

AdventureJack replied to rbpia's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Yeah I agree! Super cool. I don't really like the standard design. This yellow will really make it pop. Another thing that is kind of interesting. Adventureland finally changed their website. They have The Storm Chaser for the first slide and they are also advertising the newly refurbished Balloon Race. They haven't touched this site in years. Hopefully they keep it updated. https://www.adventurelandpark.com/ -

Northern Lights will be cool. I'll have to come up and visit this summer so I can try it out. -
Kings Dominion (KD) Discussion Thread
AdventureJack replied to robbalvey's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
This place looks great! I've never been to Kings Dominion, but I have always wanted to and NOW more than ever -
Wow. This is getting me excited. I have never been to Kentucky Kingdom but I have always been cheering for it. I always hate to see a park die and I am so happy to get to see the re-birth of this park. I really believe that KK is going to be a success story. I really wish I could take some time off this summer and drop by. Lightning Run looks amazing. I think any park in the country would gladly have a coaster like this one. Kentucky Kingdom is lucky.

Oh wow that sounds like a great little trip. Do you happen to know what the dates are yet? -
Worlds of Fun (WOF) Discussion Thread
AdventureJack replied to OzCatter's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Yeah, I used to live in the southwest corner of Iowa, so right in the middle of the two. I am currently a Freshman at Drake University so obviously now I am closer to Adventureland, but growing up It was about the same distance for both of them. Adventureland might have been a little further just because it is on the east side of Des Moines. -
