While growing up, mostly every summer of each year, my parents would take us there. me & my sisters loved the American Eagle roller coaster as it is the biggest and longest one there. Not to mention one of the oldest rides..hehe..We would spend 1 whole day at the theme park and ride all the rides. well, not ALL but each time we go there the following year, we would ride the ones that we couldn’t ride last year…(growing process at that moment..hehe)
Aside from that, if our cousins came over to visit, my dad would take us all to the theme park. The best one was Giant Drop..it is soo high of 227 ft (69 m) tall gravity-driven descending thrill ride…it’s sumthing like the one in Genting Highlands called Solero shot, i think..but not as high as Giant Drop..haha.
Another cool ride is the Logger’s Run..u will seriously get wet if u get on this ride..i mean REALLY wet..from head to toe..it was great to go during the summer and get cooled off by it..
oh yea..and the Space Shuttle America thingy..a replica of the real thing but was then removed. the Iron Wolf ride is somewhat different as the riders maneuver twisting turns and sudden drops while in a standing position. I got to ride this one when i was in 5th grade..as i was tall enuff..lol.
from time to time, a few rides would come and go..but it will be in memory of the ones ridden.
Viper!
..and dun forget the famous carousel.
hehe
mawaddah...
