You best write a trip report while you're there.

In other news, Mako is the best hyper coaster I've ever ridden.

Rode it a month ago and couldn't agree more.

Was lucky enough to see Dunkirk in theaters tonight. Man what an incredible movie. I've been a fan of Nolan's ever since Interstellar (all time favorite film) and this did not disappoint!

I'm about to leave for my big trip this summer, out to the midwest! I will be hitting Beech Bend, Six Flags St Louis, Worlds of Fun, Adventureland Iowa, and Kings Island! All of which are new parks to me except for KI. I will be just shy of 300 credits by the time I'm back. This will leave ValleyFair and the two San Fransisco parks as the largest parks in America that I haven't done.

[Jonathan]

Adventureland is a park you never really hear about (probably because it's in Iowa and didn't really have a noteworthy coaster until last year), but I really enjoyed it when I went. Surprisingly nice park. They had basically ripped off Disney's entrance and Main Street concept.

[Sean978]

...On the other hand you have SF St. Louis, the worst park I have ever visited. Be prepared for terrible operations, bad coasters, and miles of nothing but asphalt.

[Edwardo]

Interesting. I loved SFStL. Great day there.

[Hiveminded]

Here’s to hoping everything at Adventureland is open tomorrow... The weather forecast is not looking good at all.
