steel Posted June 12, 2008 Posted June 12, 2008 I do wish we could have seen more of that Pepsi ride, it looked pretty interesting. It is the epitomy of a family coaster. It's more of a tour of the park than a roller coaster. A little more than half-way through, it goes through part of the log chute and up a second lift. Lots of helicies and small hills. None of it anywhere near the floor.
mcjaco Posted June 12, 2008 Posted June 12, 2008 ^ It's a family coaster + dark ride. Nothing spectacular, but it's a nice way to see the park. I actually found the Orange Streak hideous. I miss the Ripsaw, and the station building.....gag. The Orange Streak almost gave me a brown streak.
cfc Posted June 12, 2008 Posted June 12, 2008 It is a bummer that they're rethemeing MoA's log flume--thought that was the best thing there when it was still Camp Snoopy. But the only thing constant is change.
uwgbdork Posted June 12, 2008 Posted June 12, 2008 My girlfriend and I did that Moose Mulligans Adventure park and finished off absolutely ticked off. We had probably played about 30 games of mini-golf that summer and this was bar none the worst mini-golf we had ever played. We are like the people who never complain but we filled comment cards out that it was the most expensive and worst golf ever, don't waste your money!!!!!! Spend more time on coasters.
AlexG8462 Posted June 12, 2008 Posted June 12, 2008 Looks like fun. Also, what does the Mall of America NOT have? Makes you wonder!
Sticky Nicky Posted June 12, 2008 Posted June 12, 2008 Nice trip report. Anybody know what that construction is for at Nickelodeon Universe? It might have already been mentioned. I have heard two rumors. One was a new compact coaster or new restaurants since they just took out two of the old ones. The latter sounds more reasonable considering that they just added two coasters and don't have a need for another one already. Although a Intamin Zac-Spin could fit in well in that spot.

twisterbret Posted June 13, 2008 Posted June 13, 2008 Finally some pictures of the High Roller. Very cool Log Flume lift The Mall looks way better then I thought it would be. Wouldn't take much to convince the family we need to go ..with Shopping high on the list of things to do. Thanks for sharing!

Yes, "coaster/dark ride" is not an accurate description. If Ripsaw is a dark ride, so is Millennium Force. Same kind of thing. But it's still fun.

I was told by a ride operator that the whole thing is an American Girl store & restaurant. Two stories & 2/3 as wide as Sponge Bob. If that's true it should be out in the mall instead of in the park.
wierdo135 Posted August 10, 2008 Posted August 10, 2008 I went to Moa recently and the construction is not a new coaster... its yet another store... And how come nobody likes Excalibur, its actually kinda fun and if you sit in the back you get airtime on the last hill!
