Catch Daredevil Kaptain Robbie Knievel as he attempts to jump the lake

Am I remembering wrong or isn't that lake long and doesn't have that much space around it to gain speed?

I guess we don't know what the "thrill rides" are going to be yet...? Something from Cypress Gardens, perhaps?

I've only been to Wild Adventures once, and I wasn't knocked out by it. But I suppose I need to give it another chance. Good to hear that they're still (presumably) doing okay.

[ShavethewhalesI wish they would make Street Fighter Donkey.]

Sounds like a few old CC rides have found a home. Now, what does WA have already? I'll bet they at least get the flyers and the wisdom tornado. I'm hoping the S&S double shot stays in Branson.

[ReonAm I allowed to eat donkey during lent?]

Not enough zombies=fail

Anyways, its always good to see a park that hasn't got to much to get a decent sized update. I've never been down to Wild Adventures, but I probabbly will go sometime if I'm ever travelling down that way.

^Hasn't got much!?!?

Wild Adventures has a crapload of rides, shows, animals, water park and EIGHT roller coasters!!!!

I always really liked the park, should be cool to see what they get next.

[ReonAm I allowed to eat donkey during lent?]

Well, I just meant its not as easily recognized as other parks. I'm not saying its bad or anything....

[alpengeist04Why do I still have a donkey title???]

While Wild Adventure isn't one of my favorite parks, it's still a lot better than the former Cypress Gardens down here in Winter Haven.

Heck, maybe they could purchase Starliner and give it a new home. It just saddens me to drive by every day to work and see it just rotting there.

[Homeboy23Beware of the freeze-dried donkey!]

^^ Yeah I would agree that it is a park that no one really knows about.

However, if you are traveling down I75 from Atlanta to Tampa they are tons of signs for it along the interstate.

I really did enjoy my one visit and am glad to hear that it is getting some more stuff. I will certainly visit again when I am down that way.

My theory on why this park wasn't more talked about used to be that it was because all of their coasters were models. But then they got Cheetah and that didn't really change anything.
