Adventureland Park - "A to Z"

A video montage of all of the rides in Iowa's Adventureland amusement park - in alphabetical order! (Unfortunately, not all rides were operating on the opening day when I was there to shoot video, and it was so cold and window that crowds were very low and often I couldn't find anyone actually on the rides. Version 2 later this season may fix that.)

Incredibly cheesy 80s-sounding music from Instant Access Music (royalty free).

[allenhuffman]

@TheBombeater I used to, but not this year. This is the first year since they started offering season passes that I can't afford to get one :(

[allenhuffman]

The Falling Star has been down this season, but I don't know why. It still wasn't running this past Sunday.

When I go to the park for just an hour or so, it's usually to ride the Outlaw and Tornado (then maybe the Dragon), and the Underground. I'm a fan of old style carnival dark rides, so the Underground is probably my favorite thing there. I also like the Skyride and taking the train. I can't ride spinny rides, so there are several things there I have never ridden (G-Force, Inverter, Splash Over, etc. and Mixer came and went before I ever got to ride it.)

This year was my first time and I was so excited.

The spaceshot.

My legs are still tingly from it :3

It's so fun at adventureland.

and may I add that I met Ben Ulin when I was 8 years old!

[jhzenor61481]

Do any of you guys remember the Family Funzone game show that was hosted by Ben Ulin that was taped at Adventureland? I remember watching it on Channel 17 (KDSM-TV) years ago.

@allenhuffman Don't feel bad Allen, the last time I went to Adventureland was back in 2004, and I haven't gone back since. My mom took me, my brother and sister there many many years ago, and there's some rides my mom can't go on anymore because of some of her health problems, so you are not the only one.

[jhzenor61481]

@sittles100 That's one ride I will never go on ever again, it scared the hell out of me when it lifted me into the air, I went in 2000, and then I went in 2004, and I haven't been back to Adventureland since.

I love the space shot that's my favorite
