Oh me too! There was one time during Howl-O-Scream at Busch Gardens they had a scareactor hidden behind a park map and he'd slide the map to the side and scare whoever came up to look at the map. My friend and I stood there for maybe 15-20 minutes just watching and laughing our butts off at people getting scared. Some would scream and run. Others would just jump a bit. So entertaining.

The double loops are the remaining peices from the Rollercoaster called the dragon. It was one of the more iconic rides there. It was very rickety and it had the over the shoulder restraints. You would slam side to side and your head would bounce off but it was such a fun Rollercoaster. I'm gonna miss it. And those log flumes you saw are from the old log ride that was originally located where that green Rollercoaster (called The Monster) is located now. As the video progressed i was just naming off all the rides I saw and just felt so happy you took your time to come to Iowa! I hope you enjoy your stay and I hope you experience the Iowan kindness!

On the Underground, they used gravity to propel a dark ride. The Calico Mine ride (built and operated by Bud Hurlbut) at Knott's Berry Farm in Buena Park, Ca (opened Nov 1960) uses the same design. The ride car/train is lifted to it's maximum height via an inclined chain lift and once at the top, the car/train uses the force of gravity to complete the entire track ride. The expectation of a drop is due to years of riding roller coasters... Another well done video...

Jacob, I have zero problems with you NOT riding coasters. I love that you show them so people can see what they are like. A lot of parks won't let you ride with a GO PRO unless you can get their permission to do it. I like riding old style regular coasters where you just go up a hill and down a hill. The others screw with my equilibrium. Love your videos. Love parks that have a chair ride so you can get a nice view of the park. Zoltar freaked me out! Zoltars are always animatronic.

I am a season pass holder to Adventureland, but I've never seen that Zoltar or Robotman. That green roller coaster is the Monster and it is awesome! (But I never found out why there are dinosaurs in the ride area.) Sorry about the Underground.There are lots of people who are hoping for a redo of it in the future. It would make a great modern shooter type dark ride. Those "planters" were boats from the Log Ride that was removed (got too hard to keep it up and running) and the Monster now sits in that place. It's a great smaller park that has really made strides forward in the last several years.

My park. Yes! A totally under-rated park. The defunct Dragon roller coaster is only partially removed. Dragon Slayer replaced The Dragon. The Monster (the green roller coaster) replaced the Log Ride. You forgot to ride the A-train. Great video thanks for coming to Iowa. Other great things about Adventureland you weren't able to see was a full Awesome Circus, 34 year long running Magic Show by Ben Ulin, a most fantastic water park, the oldest coaster - the classic Wooden 1978 Tornado, and huge ferris wheel, and the Outlaw wooden coaster- a quick smooth wooden beauty. And the Zoltar is totally Brand NEW. My son and I can't wait to see it!

I live down the street from Adventureland and have season passes. The Underground is my favorite ride. It is cheesy, but fun and the smell reminds me of the Haunted Mansion at Disneyland (I was born and raised in Anaheim, so I went there a lot as a kid). What I understand about Adventureland's Main Street is that the owners (it's a family owned park) consulted someone who worked for WED and building Disneyland and got permission from the company. I don't know how true that is. Anyways, the Monster is my second favorite ride and the Dragon Slayer is quite "spinny." It's ok. That robot and Zoltar are new. When I was there a few weeks ago they weren't there then. Glad you had fun! We love the water park too and are planning to go after work tomorrow. ☺️
