Adventureland (Iowa) Discussion Thread

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.

From the park's Facebook page. Piece number three. Says there are four more to add.

Looking good!

This ride is going to look enormous in this park. Very cool.

Section four is up! Already looks huge and still has three pieces to go.

You know what, it is refreshing to see one of these outside of a Cedar Fair park. This is my first time hearing about this park as well! Looks pretty good so far. Can't wait to see it complete.

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

I'm assuming that will be the control booth.

I like the color of the tower, different. However, I'm looking forward to the gondolas & the lightning package.

^^^Ohh... duh lol.

Yeah I can't wait for the rest to fall into place.

4/21/14

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.

^ When is this scheduled to open?

This is looking great. It's nice to see another Windseeker being built... I really enjoy them.

Nice. Something not as mega as Cedar Fair's versions.

Opening the beginning of June.

I wonder how the top decoration will look, maybe it will have the safe UFO as the others?

From A-lands FB page!

Got plans for tomorrow? Well you should - the STORM CHASER is opening tomorrow at Adventureland Park!! Bring your bravest face and get ready to fly. We open Saturday at 10am!!"

Wow I gotta get out there soon! I don't even think that the one at WoF is open yet.

Yup! Here it is! Opening day is finally here!

Here are some pics from the FB page.

Just wish it was better weather but oh well.

Here is a link to a cool video they put up too.

First riders!

When it comes to these types of rides location is important to get the best views and it looks like Adventureland put theirs in a great spot. Love the view of Tornado and Dragon.

It does seem weird that Storm Chaser opened before Steelhawk.

Yes! The spot is perfect for it, I agree.

Yeah It is weird that it opened before Steelhawk especially because I think WoF started construction WAY before Adventureland did...

It looks so... weird...

Hopefully they're isn't any problems with this installation like the others had. I always enjoyed Windseekers regardless of whether they are thrilling. I like to consider them as a step above an old observation tower.

I still love the more intimate size of the whole spinning gondola. Not mega like Cedar Fair's windseekers, but still great in presence. Looks quite nice.

I wish there was a forum for all of Adventureland's updates. I know it might not be the best or most interesting park to you guys but it is my home park and it is getting bigger and better with every year.

If there was another page to post stuff this would be a perfect piece of info to add.

I am told that the river rapids ("log ride") is out next year, not sure if there is room for much of a coaster there though.

Then someone else posted

I worked at Adventure Bay for 2 years (Last year and the year before) and I heard from higher ups that next year (2015) they were going to build a boomerang-style rollercoaster somewhere in the vicinity of the dragon. Not saying this is a sure thing by any means, but the log ride might be getting replaced with said coaster in the near future.

I don't know if this will happen because they just got Stormchaser this year, but it is exciting stuff to think about.

I know there are other people out there on this great site that would love to have an Adventureland Discussion Thread, whether this be their beloved little home park or it be a new destination they want to find out more about. I personally love scrolling down the pages and finding new updates out about the Six Flags parks, Cedar Fair parks, and even the smaller ones, but it makes me sad when I can't find an Adventureland one. Kentucky Kingdom and Holiday World have one why can't we. I don't know where to go for this but I just wish Adventureland had a thread that wasn't just focused on what is happening this year and instead all of its information in one place!

Hopefully it's a Premier launch coaster that we see going around than an actual boomerang. Either way, even a boomerang would be an amazing investment for this park!

I think it'd be appropriate to reform this thread into an official Adventure Land discussion thread, but that final decision would be up to the mods/admins. As long as there's new things popping up about the park, I don't see why there can't be discussions about them. Besides, I only first heard about this park when I learned of Storm Chaser!
