I heard about the fire that happened due to the snow or something like that.
Yeah we got our asses kicked with snow this winter and it caused some crazy ass fire there. I don't remember where exactly in the park, but I guess it was a pretty bad one.
I love Adventureland. Six Flags is fun, but to be honest - Adventureland has more rides, and less people. So I can ride more things, in half the time.
I've never been to Six Flags. I'm completely shocked to hear that Adventureland has more rides than Six Flags. I've haven't been to many other theme parks but seen a bunch on T.V. and I always figured all those places like that were by far bigger and had way more rides and all that. It kind of gives me a new appreciation and respect for Adventurland.
I went to Six Flags in St. Louis (I think thats where it was) and waited for almost TWO FUCKING HOURS just to ride "The Batman". Don't get me wrong, amazing ride.. but not worth standing for 2 hours, moving very slowly, for a 30 second ride at most.
Yeah their lines aren't that bad. You get some long ones for "The Raging River" "The Log Ride" and some of the roller coasters depending on the day and time your there but even those lines aren't normally more than 30 minutes and "The Raging River" is always worth it, it's just fun. The Log Ride gets you pretty good too, especially on the first smaller hill. The water rides always have lines like crazy.
I love the Soda & Sound. I don't know if you ever saw it before. What happens is there's this eatery that is mostly outdoors, at certain times of the day a stage and a bunch of people doing dong and dance from the 50's come from under ground out of what looks like a flower bed, but then it rises to reveal all the people singing and dancing.
It's pretty cool to me because I really like the Doo-Wop stuff they do. I think they do other stuff too, but that's generally what it is. So you get a burger, fries, and a Cola, sit down for lunch and watch a live performance. It's a lot of fun.
I also agree that Adventureland has an old school feel to it.
Yeah, all the little shops and stores, even the way the streets are paved, the big old school ferris wheel, the train ride with the old school train and station, there's even happy music playing through the streets like in a Disney movie or something, it's just a great environment.
We should completely meet-up, take pictures and post them. You know, so people will know we're real.. and live remotely close, and stuff.
Yeah I already got a look and responded to the mid-west gathering thread and responded. It sounds like a sweet idea to me. If you wanted too we could all go to Adventureland for the day, and we could all go to a wrestling show afterwards if your down. We have a local wrestling group called 3XW who put on a good show. I just thought of it because if we scheduled it right, since we are all gathered via WrestleZone, maybe we could go to an indy wrestling even together too.
Hmmm... on topic related.
I've seen a clown at Adventureland once before. True story, I didn't consider it to be a Juggalo until now. I'll ask next time I see it.
LOL, that is quite possible.
