    I don't recognize a few of those, and I think I rode one that isn't there anymore. I suppose lots has happened since I was there last maybe 8 years ago, I think the whole "fake Disneyland" entry area burned down since then, etc.

    The Outlaw and the Underground are my 2 favorite roller coasters at Adventure Land, (Yes I live in Iowa, pretty local to Adventure Land really.) I love the theme of the Underground being that you go down into a mine shaft and you see accidents all over the place. Plus the writing on the walls in the waiting line, does add some hilarity, especially when you're waiting. The Outlaw on the other hand fits the Western theme of the area and it's a fun ride.

    I have an intense love for Adventureland ever since I was a little kid. I especially have a deep love for The Underground. It is the only coaster in the park that I could make myself get on without trembling from fear so bad that my legs turned to jelly. I am so happy to hear that you guys loved the ride!
    As a secondary note, I have also always wanted to join a group of coaster enthusiasts and also design coasters for a living, but I feel I never would get the opportunity to. It's an end-goal for me, but it's going to take me a long time to get there. And I also love rollercoasters with an undying passion, but I am too afraid to ride them. To date, the only coasters I've been on are The Underground, and the Timber Twister up north in Minnesota. LOVED IT SO MUCH!!! (Despite nearly vomiting when I got to the lift hill, lol)

    Fun facts: Adventureland was designed to feel like Disney World. Monster was the first Gerstlauer Infinity coaster in the western hemisphere. Dragon Slayer is, by far, the best S&S free spin to have ever been built. And I may or may not have contributed to some of that Underground graffiti.

    OG Dragon had one of the roughest pre-rides I've ever ridden. It was a couple of bunny hills where the tops were so sharp they tried to snap your neck. It's too bad they don't still have Der Flitzer which was a fun alpine coaster and Super Screamer which was a little Galaxy coaster. Tornado wasn't always super janky and it never ran the blue train when I was there. It was always the red train.. It used to be a bit more smooth. I always liked the little jog at the top of the second hill. Always gave me some nice little laterals when I was a kid.

    I used to marathon Outlaw as a kid but the last time I went it was so horribly rough I had no idea how I was able to do it lol. It could be better now tho because it’s been a while since I last went (like I was still going on Dragon and the inverter which was replaced by the Mauer) or it was just an off day but it made tornado look smooth. Also it’s hilarious what’s become of that animatronic on the Underground. It used to move to explain the story of the coaster or something but obviously it has seen better days 😂

It's changed so much in the past few years it's really getting a facelift I see a lot of the theming is new be patient with us on that lol. the stuff by the dragon slayer was remnants of the dragon that it replaced hence the dragon slayer all my childhood those where the only three roller coasters in the park lol the tornado was my first roller coaster I remember when the cars didn't have seatbelts. Just a bench seat with a lap bar. My mom had to hold me down, scared the crap outta me. It's gotten a lot rougher over the years I'm happy to see they're doing repairs the neck pain is worth the nostalgia for now haha. The outlaw is my favorite though. it may be modest but it's ours.

    You should do a video on the coaster called The Bolt. Its a self driving coaster, the trains look more like a motorcycle that you can control the speed yourself. It looks very interesting and would like more info on its design. The Bolt is only found on a Cruise Ship, called Carnival Mardi Gras Cruise Ship. All I know about it is that it goes up to 40mph and 187ft above sea level. Just wondering if you could find more info on this coaster.
