By the time we arrived a purchased our wrist bands it was 3:30 pm, which meant we had 3 hours. This was my first visit and I can't describe how impressed I was with this indoor park. The theming was incredible. This became my daughter's New favorite park. All the kids and myself loved this place. Every ride was a walk on. In 3 hours we rode so much. Our first ride was Sponge Bob's Rock Bottom Plunge. We rode it twice. It Euro fighter and its very smooth with a bunch of great elements. It's hard to believe that this is inside a mall. Next was Avatar Air Bender. We rode this twice. It was my favorite coaster at the park. It's an Intamin half pipe, and the first one like it that I've ridden. I loved how you spin while going up and down those 90 degree towers. We grabbed one ride on Pepsi Orange Streak. It's a tame coaster that goes all around the park. Most of the rides at this park were made for this park and are really unique and well themed. The kids grabbed a credit on Back At The Barnyard Hayride, it's a kiddie coaster. Then we headed to Fairly Odd Coaster for 1 ride. It was another spinning coaster. We then rode The Log Chute once. This was a themed flume and made my top 5 water rides. 2 drops and well themed. The park really pays attention to every detail. Next was a flat ride called Brainsurge. We rode it twice. It was my oldest son's and daughter's favorite ride at the park. The ride goes in circular motion while you control inversions with a lever. You can flip continuously or hold yourself upside down, It's all up to you. Very unique and well themed. We then headed over to Jimmy Neutrons Atomic Collider. We rode this twice, and this was my favorite flat of the park. You actually received air time from this ride. It was a spinning plane ride but the planes toppled over one another. Very unique and well themed. We grabbed one ride on Danny Phantom Ghost Zone, it was a themed flying carpet ride. Our last ride was Ghost Blasters. A dark ride with a shoot em up game. It was done better than Kennywood's or the one at Lake Compounce. I took the kids photos with Sponge Bob and Patrick. Those were the best costumes I have ever seen. The whole park was amazing. By far the best kids park in the country. We then headed for Madison WI for some sleep. |
It's kinda weird as the coasters on the Midwest trip that you say are rough, I think vice-versa, and the coasters that I think are smooth, well, you know. :) For me SpongeBob (fav coaster at Nick) wasn't S-kopt rough by no means, but did seemed a lil' bit head bangy for such a newer coaster, just like Mystery Mine; I'm screaming from the Mtn tops, lapbars are the solution! :) I agree that Avatar was very good, ride time pretty short though. I agree that the family coasters are nice rides for anyone of all ages. Thanks for the TR.
