This was the first day of a 3 day St. Louis trip back in April. I went with my dad, Nathan (kumba830), Jon (deathbydinn), his mom, Cameron (Cameron), and his friend Jesse.


And where was I? Guess I'm not going back to City Museum with you ever again!! ;)

Sorry Jo! I fixed it :oops:

Alright, now it's time for my take on Coasting for Kids at Michigan's Adventure!

When I first heard about this years event in March, I knew I had to participate. You can't think of a more fun charity event for a coaster enthusiast to partake in! Even though Thunderhawk was not the most butter smooth coaster to ride, I could not have had a more fun time. The park staff was enthusiastic and helpful, the food was good (chicken nuggets<3), and yoiu really can't go wrong with Shivering Timbers! Let's take a look....

Pretend the music from Vacation when the Griswolds pull up to Walley World is playing. That's what it feels like when you pull up to see Shivering Timbers.

This is what roller coasters should look like.

The day before the event, we went to the park so Nathan could ride all the coasters. This led to a sweet front row Big Dipper ride. We're cool.

Then it was time for ST. After this, there were no more photos, so I'll just end it here. I would like to thank EVERYONE involved with this event and Give Kids the World for putting this on. I had a fantastic time, and hope to do it again next year. Thanks for reading!

I feel like Michigan's Adventure is the awkward/weird park out of the bunch. Ah well, it still looks pretty fun! Spectacular trip report like always.

That's totally true! It doesn't have many things other parks do, like shows and more than one indoor restaurant.

I've gone pantless!

You have my congratulations for surviving multiple rides on an SLC--probably the toughest go of it anyone in Coasting for Kids had on that day. ;)
