Nrthwnd Posted July 13, 2009 Share Posted July 13, 2009 Wish I was on this tour. Glad I'm not drinking Beverly. (does that sound right at all?) Have fun when you finally ride some coasters, guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robbalvey Posted July 13, 2009 Author Share Posted July 13, 2009 Our official Day One - DIXIELAND!!! Ok, so Dixieland isn't a big park by any means, but this place is a TON 'O FUN! It's like "perfect family entertainment center." There's a great indoor area for birthday parties, games, kids play area and a great arcade. Outside you've got a pretty insane Miler medium-sized coaster, an AWESOME zipline attraction (and yes it's included), an S&S Screaming Swing (also included!), and lots of other flats. It's one of those parks where you can either go grab the credit and be done in 20 minutes or you can go with a good group and have an awesome time! Photos and stuff... We love it! (I didn't know Shane was on this trip!) Are you ready for that double dip? FIRST CREDIT OF THE TRIP! YAY!!! "Raise your hands....if you're SURE!" These men are BRAVE!!! This little Miler coaster will bounce you out of your seat more than you think it will! Don't be fooled by it's cute, tiny little size. We are Dixieland. You can tell because of the sign. If you don't believe me...go to the website! We end the night with the BIG SHABOOZIE IN THE SKY!!! Here it Tyler! THE BIG SHABOOZIE!!! Hey, what's with this little stuff? We need BIG ASS EXPLOSIONS!!! Oh, good...fireworks are still open...gee...I wonder if we should blow some stuff up? Our first trip to McDonalds included some bonus Taco Bell! Um, this park really needs to do something about their plastic spider problem. "Mommy! When can I get my NRA card?" KidTums! NO DEAL!!! NO DEAL!!! TPR Grand Prix! Part Deux! Look Ma! We swapped shoes! It's like we're married! PIZZA!!!! I like pizza...nom, nom, nom... DDR Stage! YES!!! Best restrooms sign ever! Bonus points for classic video games! "I BELIEVE I CAN FLY!!!" Did we mention they have a full sized zip line INCLUDED at the park? Approved by the Rays! No, it really IS the Scream "N" Swing! Scream'n Swing anyone? TAKE YOUR RAP BATTLE TO ALABAMA WHERE IT BELONGS!!! Looks like Tyler is getting REAMED! FRESNONIAN RAP BATTLE!!! IN GEORGIA!!! Wait, what is this? Adam on the left side? Is this a change to the "Adam and Bryan Show???" Pee Stream = LOSER!!! Super Soaker vs. Weak Pee Stream DIE!!! DIE!!! DIE!!! Wait...am I seeing this correctly? They have given Robb a SUPER SOAKER!!! "Please target everyone ELSE!" "UNACCEPTABLE AMOUNT OF WETNESS!!!" Dave goes in for the kill. It is now time for the TPR Bumper Boats take over!

atem122 Posted July 13, 2009 Share Posted July 13, 2009 Those big shaboozies dont look too legal...ah who cares? It blows up!!! Dixieland looks pretty great, and if that miler coaster is anything like hi miler at the L.A county fair, I know what kind of extreme ejector air those things give Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ParkTrips Posted July 13, 2009 Share Posted July 13, 2009 Did the weird zip line that goes way back over the lake ever open up? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the ghost Posted July 13, 2009 Share Posted July 13, 2009 LOL, when I saw the update picture on the homepage I was like "OMG, thats a huge bug on KT" and then I realized she was drinking a bottle and I was confused why she was so calm, this makes much more sense,lol. If I was a baby and that have been a real spider I would have run away, and probably hit myself with the bottle with the bottle trying to get the spider. Bugs+bottles+KT-awesome.

OldJJman Posted July 13, 2009 Share Posted July 13, 2009 ^That Miler looks like the one that was removed from Playland in Reno. Which was nothing like the "Hi-Miler". Anyone know for sure?? Great start. Keep it up. JJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atem122 Posted July 13, 2009 Share Posted July 13, 2009 ^I know that the ride's layout is not like Hi Miler, sorry if I wasnt clear, what I meant to ask is if it had the pretty darn crazy ejection points that Hi Miler had. (My airtime opinion on Hi Miler may be off since I rode it before becoming an enthusiast and having more riding experience) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KnottsDisneyFarm Posted July 13, 2009 Share Posted July 13, 2009 Sketchers? Really Robb? Go with Nike next time. They do look pretty rad though... I'll be looking forward to more "Deep" South photos! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keep it up. JJ When looking at those pictures, that coaster looks like it was in Reno, because I remember riding a coaster exactly like it with the same trains. So I think it is. And it wasn't Playland, it was from Wild Island. Playland had this really ghetto coaster that you see at those traveling carny places. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DiSab Posted July 13, 2009 Share Posted July 13, 2009 That's the first Screaming Swing (or, in this case, Scream 'N' Swing) with only one arm. But still looks like its packed with S&S awesomeness. And that Miler coaster looks crazy - I didn't know Miler built coasters on that big a scale - or at least used their kiddie-coaster trains on the bigger coasters.

coasterdude5 Posted July 13, 2009 Share Posted July 13, 2009 Glad you guys are having a great time! Dixieland seems like a cool quick stop... and that zipline looks pretty intense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OldJJman Posted July 13, 2009 Share Posted July 13, 2009 And it wasn't Playland, it was from Wild Island. You're absolutely right. I just looked it up on rcdb. Fun ride. Nothing spectacular. Especially only 38' tall. JJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mozart67 Posted July 13, 2009 Share Posted July 13, 2009 Yay for the Hot Shots reference. The great thing about small and/or non-megaconglomerate parks, imo, is their capacity to be both eclectic and full of surprises.

Swimace Posted July 13, 2009 Share Posted July 13, 2009 Oooh! Dixieland Funpark's coaster is a lot of fun!. I went about a year and a half ago and the park was free admission (you payed for each ride with tickets that you purchased). I guess they changed to charging an admission price and not charging per ride? Great TR! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(My airtime opinion on Hi Miler may be off since I rode it before becoming an enthusiast and having more riding experience) Yes it does! This little coaster reminds me a lot of Hi Miler. Got that same wicked tight turns and come-out-of-nowhere ejector airtime. And yeah I've been wearing Sketchers for about 10 years now. Not a Nike fan at all. Totally over rated and very over priced for basically a Payless shoestore shoe. We are at Dollywiod today. Has a backstage tour of mystery mine which totally rocked!

Jakemeister Posted July 13, 2009 Share Posted July 13, 2009 The last time I was at Atl's Airport there was a sign just like that said and I quote "Helen Keller could only see possibilities." I couldn't stop myself from laughing hysterically. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
expeditioneverestfan Posted July 13, 2009 Share Posted July 13, 2009 When I saw the coaster right away I thought of Jack Rabbit at Celebration City. Is the ride like that coaster in anyway? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OldJJman Posted July 13, 2009 Share Posted July 13, 2009 When I saw the coaster right away I thought of Jack Rabbit at Celebration City. Is the ride like that coaster in anyway? Same company, Miler. Famous for kiddie coasters. On their larger ones, sharp drops and little to no banking on the corners!! I've always found the larger Milers to be a lot of fun.
