While going through some old digital video from 2008-2010, I found some footage of a few things no longer at Adventureland Park in Iowa. More to come when I go through my older tapes...
Wow it's so nice to see these again. I've moved to Florida and I often go to Busch Gardens and Disney world but I honestly miss Adventureland so much. I miss the rides, the food, the magic parlor, the smell of the park, the pavement under your feet. It will forever hold a place in my heart.
Growing up made me appreciate Adventureland a lot as a kid. I’m now 21 but growing up I loved going with my family to ride the splash over, log ride, dragon, falling star, inverter and waiting in the long line of the raging River. All those now gone
I feel like all of these old rides were better than the ones the replaced them with. Like who rlly enjoys the storm chaser. It's cold and windy and so slow. I would much rather have the silly solo
I remember, many old rides from that place. the driveable model Ts, a Trolley, the mixer, the mountain roller coaster (where the giant farris wheel is now), shows at the place theater, the silo. the scrambler,the dophin shows (where outlaw gulch ride is now).
I think before the the model T s it was jeeps. You could pick which track to follow. I also remember the Queen boat ride. It when around Raging Rapids and Dragon islands before they where built.
I miss the silly silo and the log ride. :-( Those were the best rides
this is actually really sad to me because i live in iowa and it tore me apart when they took out the silly silo and the log ride
I miss that ride, and the log ride too, I really hope they leave the underground ride alone, love that one.

That's cool ! To see the log ride : )
I remembered the log which is only like 2 years ago
You should do a side by side comparison of the park then to what it is today
Rip log ride:(
Just brought a tear
THE SILLY SILO AND LOG RIDE IS NO LONGER THERE?!!! I'M NEVER GOING BACK!!!
At 47 years old, the Silly Silo is the only ride a actually remember riding at Adventureland when I was a kid...
I never got the chance to go on the log ride but I’ve gone on things like it and they’re really fun so it’s a shame they took it out :(
I'll have the old commercial theme song for this stuck in my head forever.
Log ride was the best
Great footage!
