gravitywolf216 Posted March 29, 2007 Share Posted March 29, 2007 Here in Cleveland, before all the super-awesomeness that happens in Sandusky, and the meidiocre-suckiness thats currently happening in Aurora opens. We have the IX Center. For those who don't know about it, the IX Center (International Exposition Center) used to be a tank factory, out by the airport here. It was since converted into the largest expo center in the world. And every spring they host the world's largest indoor amusement park. Some pictures kinda suck, and I wanted to take more, but my camera was havinging issues, so im going back to do this thing proper soon. So bear with me. P.S. They were doing this "lights on and off thing" while we were there, did anyone go through that before? Some midway shots Demonic Ali Baba, ring of fire, and Freak Out I love you KMG!!!! Evil Ali Baba's revenge. Okay, they used to havean Ali baba ride years ago but they took it out or sold it or something. And this one looks kinda similar except a few minor things If you look at the counter-wieght, it has the same decorations as a guess Why do they always have the small stupid wheel when the giant one is like 60ft away Lazyman's paratrooper. It's waay slower then the old-fashoned one, and doesn't even go as high I love this ride. OOOOOH Flashy!!!!!! super shot drop tower. It goes all the way to the ceiling largest indoor Ferris wheel. They actually cut a hole in the roof for it!!! Needless to say its permenant.

gravitywolf216 Posted March 29, 2007 Author Share Posted March 29, 2007 The Satanic Ali Baba's comment was too long so I reposted it here Evil Ali Baba's revenge. Okay, they used to havean Ali baba ride years ago but they took it out or sold it or something. And this one looks kinda similar except a few minor things If you look at the counter-wieght, it has the same decorations as a portable chance inverter. And if if you've ever ridden one, you'll know that it goes way to slow. So I was kinda skeptical about it and almost skipped it. But I went on anyway, and it was THE scariest pendulum ride I have ever been on at a carnival. Or ever for that matter. Even though it goes waaay to slow as expected, it TILTS! Like Acrophobia! And not all the time either it does it randomly, and fast too. It actually feels like the whole gondola just fell off the ride. It was wicked.

viking86 Posted March 29, 2007 Share Posted March 29, 2007 Cool pictures! Do you know who makes the Ali Baba ride??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gravitywolf216 Posted March 29, 2007 Author Share Posted March 29, 2007 from the look of the crown, I think its Chance. They don't have it listed on flatrides.com though. It just appeared. When I go back, Im gonna see if I can find a tag on it or something. Most rides have a company tag plate or something similar on them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cobra_roll06 Posted March 30, 2007 Share Posted March 30, 2007 I have always wanted to ride a ring of fire. Are thet any good? That looked like quite a cool little carnival. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gravitywolf216 Posted March 31, 2007 Author Share Posted March 31, 2007 So in general how was it? I got some free tix tonight and am debating on going. ANy other coasters besides the Wild Mouse? It was okay.... The Crazy Mouse was the only adult coaster this year, I guess they sold the other one. There are a lot more rides that I wasn't able to take pictures of, but I got most of the major ones. I have always wanted to ride a ring of fire. Are thet any good? That looked like quite a cool little carnival. I used to be terrified of them when I was little, but they are pretty fun. Most of them don't have OSR's just huge padded lap bars in a cage. So when its upside-down the riders just kinda tumble around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I couldn't agree more. Great Pics. I haven't been to an IX center amusement park in about 10 years. I might try to hit this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kidcoaster Posted March 31, 2007 Share Posted March 31, 2007 That place is fun I went last year. I wish the had the wacky worm when I went they had 2 dragon wagons instead. The ring of fire was fun but the Op. left us upside down for almost 5 minutes I thought it was broke. I want to go back this year but I hae to convince my parents (Uh not easy).

jamesdillaman Posted April 2, 2007 Share Posted April 2, 2007 ^When does this amusement park stay open until? I can't get up there anytime this weekend, with it being Easter and all, but if it's still around the rest of the month, I could make the trip up from Nasty Nati. -James Dillaman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gravitywolf216 Posted April 2, 2007 Author Share Posted April 2, 2007 its open until April 15. And CP opens 3 weeks later. So if possible it would be cool to have "Ohio TPR" gatherings at both. And tickets are $16.00 from Marc's for the IX Center and 19 at the door Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
