simon8899 Posted May 22, 2012 Share Posted May 22, 2012 Like the idea of indoor parks for weather independence - but this one has the charm of a boring business exhibition. Edmonton Mall for example looks far more inviting... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chadster Posted May 22, 2012 Share Posted May 22, 2012 Funny you mention the sign about gang attire. For years we had something called the "indoor fun fest" for two weeks. The final two years were not good with the final year having a shoot out at the ok coral, yuuup, gangs. That was enough for Exposition Center here to say no more Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
STR8FXXXINEDGE Posted May 22, 2012 Share Posted May 22, 2012 Alright Big Mike, it looks like I'm gonna have to do some brushing up on my ducky counting skills. I kept getting distracted and would forget that I was looking for duckies while going through the TR, haha. With that said, I'm gonna go with 6 Duckies for this round!

ahecht Posted May 22, 2012 Share Posted May 22, 2012 Put me down for 5 as well. Â Really cool park. It looks like North American Midway provides at least some of the rides. I wonder if the Crazy Mouse is the same one I rode at The Big E. Â Is the Ferris wheel permanently installed, or do they precariously set it up under the skylight every year? It looks similar to the traveling one NAME has at The Big E, although with more graffiti. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RAWKIN_coaster38 Posted May 22, 2012 Share Posted May 22, 2012 I'll go with 5 duckies! Â Good to see there are quite a few Find the Double Ducky locations in California to choose from! Just hope I can get to one before everyone else does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeykaise Posted May 22, 2012 Share Posted May 22, 2012 I think I counted 6 duckies but I could be wrong since I kept on getting distracted by the amusement park rides. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buckeye_Ben Posted May 22, 2012 Share Posted May 22, 2012 I'm going with 5 duckies. Â That Star Flyer looks super scary, since it's so close to the ceiling. There are very few rides that genuinely freak me out, but it looks like that would be one of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GriffyTiffy Posted May 23, 2012 Share Posted May 23, 2012 This place is awesome! Makes me wish Old Chicago was still open, so I could have a park to go to in the winter! Â I guess 6 duckies! Â Great Report, and I may see you when you travel to the Chicago area this weekend! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DirkFunk Posted May 23, 2012 Share Posted May 23, 2012 There's a couple different companies booking pieces into the IX, ahecht. The Mouse is from Amusements of America. The KMG Freakout is NAME, but actually from the Mid America Shows part of them, not the old Conklin route that runs the northeast. Most of the rides there are from Bates Bros. Bates Brothers in turn own ARM Manufacturing, who make the G-Force coaster and the Vertigo swing ride (the Starflyer style ride). Most of the pieces are theirs; they book both of their units there. The Ferris Wheel is permanent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moose Posted May 23, 2012 Share Posted May 23, 2012 That surprise "credit" looks like a butterfly on crack. As such, i'd likely get sick on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
printersdevil78 Posted May 23, 2012 Share Posted May 23, 2012 I haven't really played the ducky game before, but since I'm already a part of one Big Mike contest... lock me in for 6 duckies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
