Finally got around to hitting up Adventureland to experience Monster (I haven't been in a few years so Storm Chaser was also new to me). In my opinion, both are fantastic additions to the park (Monster in particular being an extremely nice surprise). Only captured a couple of photos, but I do have a couple things to say about my experience at the park. Monster was, as previously stated, an extremely nice surprise. With the only other Gerstauer I've been on being Rock Bottom Plunge at MOA, I expected a fairly time but at the same time fairly fun experience, but I was happily mistaken. This ride almost never lets up, and has a couple of elements that leave your body feeling all funky. The hang time on most the inversions in particular were shining moments, short but sweet. The only complaint I have with this ride was that the trim brakes and the following turn were a bit jarring compared to the rest of the ride, but were nothing that ruined the experience for me. The lighting package on the ride also make the ride a thing to behold. If you ever visit Adventureland in the future, a night ride on Monster is a must. Also try to get a ride on the Sky Ride as it gets threads the needle on many elements of the ride, making for some pretty sweet visuals. I did hit up the rest of the coasters, with the two woodies being very average and The Dragon being well... The Dragon, and the flat collection never left me bored. I did, however have one complaint about the park, more specifically the crowds. I don't know if it was because if i visited during the Iowa State Fair or something else, but the abundance of groups of irresponsibly drunk adults and loud teenagers. This caused some a couple of notable annoyances throughout the day. Now, I know that this isn't completely the parks fault, but the rules could have been enforced just a little more tightly. Whilst queuing for Tornado, for instance, at least 3 grown adults and 2 teenagers line jumped under the guise of "they had friends/family in line" while the employees didn't even notice and/or question it. It took the 5th person to do it before one of the other guests called him out, causing him to have a full blown cursing tantrum and storm out of the line. It was also worth mentioning that this was a GROWN MAN. While these events were few and apart, it did kind of put a damper on the whole friendly Adventureland atmosphere. Various alcohol containers were also found in the form of litter all around the park, especially in the station of the dragon. People were even throwing them in to the lazy river (luckily when I wasn't in it) located in the waterpark, leaving the lifeguards to pick it out of the water as it floats past them. Real classy. Despite the crowds, I did have enough fun to spend the entire day there without ever becoming tired of the park. With the recent additions of Monster and Storm Chaser, Adventureland is really starting to become a solid family park with a solid number of thrilling rides. The flat ride collection contains pretty much anything you could hope for in a small park, at least in my opinion, and now with the addition of Monster, I definitely will be making another stop once I'm in the area again. Monster on the top of its lift. Storm Chaser from the ground. View from the top of the Ferris Wheel. Storm Chaser at night. Monster's lighting package. Track lights up red as train passes, then turns blue after the train is past that section of track. Ouch.

I can definitely agree with this. I always make it a point in my trips to the dells to visit Moosjaws. Great food and atmosphere. The wait can get pretty crazy though, so be prepared for that.

I was at Mt. Olympus queuing for Hades 360 (or queuing to get my spine readjusted) when i overhear a guy obviously trying to impress the two ladies in front of him. It was early in the season so they had one of the test dummies sitting out. Guy: You see those test dummies over there? Girl 1: Yeah? Guy: Some kid died last year on this ride, so they have to test it to see if it's safe. Girl 2: How did he die? Guy: When he went through the loop, he fell out and got decapitated. Girl 1: Ooo that's so scary. Guy: If you ride with me, i'll keep you safe. Girl 1: Okay I have never cringed so hard in my life.

I'm surprised no one has mentioned this one yet Beautiful
