Iowa's Largest Amusement Park! Adventureland Vlog #84 (6/29/24)
On June 29th, 2024, I visited the largest amusement park in Iowa, Adventureland! This park is most well-known for their Gerstlauer infinity coaster, Monster. They also have rides like Tornado, Outlaw, Phoenix, and the newly-refurbished Underground! This park has recently become part of the Palace Entertainment chain, and has been receiving great investments over the past decade. Enjoy!

    I've rode it and it's great. I've also rode it when I thought the wheels were square. It just depends if you get to ride it after a retrack. This goes for wooden coasters in general.

    If you haven't been here, I HIGHLY recommend it! Have been to almost all parks in the US and have been hitting the smaller parks over the last few years and this park was a big surprise. It is WAY bigger than I thought it was. There are seven coasters at this park now and quite a few other rides. The coasters are mostly unique and very good too. Lost Coaster was my favorite. So unique and quirky. Second was Hurricane or Cornball Express. Cornball Express had much better standing airtime but Hurrcane had a beautiful run out and back over the water. Tig'rr and Wild Hogg were both really fun as well. The Pinfari Wild Mouse was smooth and pretty fun. The only coaster that was bad IMO was the Triple Loop Coaster. It has the dreaded neck restraints similar to the Big Apple Coaster used to have and they are not good. The chair swing was unexpectedly good. I was literally banging into the chair in front and behind me lol.

      @gametime2473 Před 19 dny

      Triple Loop would be a fun ride if they didn't have those neck restraints. The coaster has a side to side shimmy which may cause you discomfort with those neck bars on both sides.
