Being in the water park and hearing the screams of people on the dragon warms my heart.
I don't scream on the dragon cause I'm enjoying it haha but I know what you mean :))
or on the tornado 🥺
Or most importantly…Outlaw!
Thanks for visiting my home park and letting the world see the place I spent my summers growing up!
Mine too bro👍👍
Same
me to
Same over here!
I go to Adventureland it is fun we’re you saying you moved from iowa
Former Des Moines/Altoona native here. The sheriff on the outlaw was a caricature of John Wayne with a mustache, who was born in Winterset, IA, about 45 minutes outside of Des Moinies. Actually the basis for the entire park's western theme.
Keaton Stoos It Has different themes on where you go not just the western theme at the outlaw gulch they just added The Phoenix And its a Chinese theme based off the Phoenix too it’s really fun
@@-melville1759 More specifically, Adventureland is split into multiple themed "lands" kinda like Disney; I wouldn't say the Phoenix really belongs to any specific land. Main Street of course is at the front of the park but really most of the stuff just beyond that is kind of a collection of things that don't really belong to any specific part of the park; of course there's also Dragon Island, Outlaw Gulch, and the more carnival-y part of the park over by Tornado and Storm Chaser.
@@-melville1759 dude the phoenix is AWESOME i know you said it is i am agreeing
It's nice seeing my home town staple on screen makes me happy I love Iowa😁
Same
Adventureland is fun considering what else is in Iowa. I always get season passes.
There will soon be another theme park near Waterloo it will be called Lost Island.
Y’all may not like the rides at Adventureland, but this is the like Us Iowans living our best life during the summer. Also, the man for the outlaw that is a character of John Wayne, he stared in many western movies he was also he is from Winterset, Iowa witch is only about 30 minutes away from me
Wasnt he from Brooklyn iowa? I live there and there is a statue sorta thing by a house and it said it was his home. Just wondering I'm kinda confused lol
Exactly, I live 3 hours away from Altoona and this is where I wanna spend all my summers!
This is Iowans Disney world
Witch?!?!?
Smdh
@@britneyyy2436 he was born in Winterset
Good job! You knew we are called Iowans!
The best part about these vids its watching everyone get slowly but surely more drunk haha
Just because rides are rough doesn't necessarily mean it's bad
have you ridden wolverine wildcat at michigans adventure?
Have you ridden Wildcat at Hersheypark
did you ride Son of Beast ?
Havnt ridden any of them but have you ever gone 70 miles an hour on an SLC, Or been on X2, or ridden a wooden wild mouse or ridden the ultimate at lightwater valley. I presume no one here has but just look at the POVs and rider cams of it.... that is the roughest ride I've ever experienced yet so many people rate it highly because it's crazy. SoB looked like a terrible coaster
@@twistedcheese1 I'm still trying to get over the fact your trying to use an SLC as a good comparison. lol I think you've hit your head on the restraints one time too many . Also, personal opinion but X2 is garbage the only reason people suck up to it is because it is unique. If there was one at every six flags park it would be a different story. Rough and Jerky... Roller Coasters will always be subjective and everyone's opinion is different. But it would be down right foolish to not admit that the roughness of the ride can impact the ride quality. Must be why they're always trying to replace the trains on SLC's ... TO MAKE THEM SMOOTHER AND HURT LESS.
I liked this park. Monster was great, I loved the beyond vertical drop and hangtime with just a lap bar
Good job, guys. Very fun video.
Sawmill Splash actually out dates the water park by about a decade.
I strongly recommend the water park, the circus, and the magic show in addition to things you guys showed.
My fav is always the pirate ship or underground
I enjoyed this video. My first job (30 years ago!) was working in that pig you got the bacon on a stick from. When I worked there, that pig only sold popcorn and pop. Many things have changed since I was there - lots of the rides are the same, but many have changed or been replaced.
Grew up going to this park, best park everrrr. We used to call the animatronic in the underground scary jerry. Truly a hidden gem.
That mainstreet music is literally my childhood, I'm so happy I get to visit again in a week with my bestfriend and I'm so excited
One of the few amusement parks that still looks like a park. Love all that green space and the fact that everything isn't packed together.
I've known about this park for a long time, but never seen a video of it exploring it like this! Adventureland looks absolutely beautiful and the food looks great!
Dale Lapp I spend every summer here and it never gets old, visit if you can :)
Hey Coaster daddy ! 😜. Fancy seeing you here, lol
@@chrisbender8714 😱😵
Adventureland is the best for Iowans, we don’t get a whole lot of thrills or park options around here so what we have at Adventureland is the best for us.
So you mean you want to see me in my swim trunks 😂
Been going to this park since my earliest memories (I'm 44 yrs. old). Tornado is a legend to me. Fun coaster, nothing special but fun). Underground...lame as hell. They used to have a great water show there. Anybody else remember that?? Dragon...will NEVER ride that again. Jerky as hell. I love coasters but not the ones that throw you around abusively.
Michael Chambers they fixed the dragon. Not as much jerkiness
The sawmill splash was built before the water park was even thought of and you used to get more wet but they had complaints from people because they couldn’t leave their stuff anywhere and they didn’t want their phones etc wet it was becoming a huge issue with rising cellphone usage .
The tornado was the first rollercoaster at the park.. I love the mirror room we have taken so many selfies there.
The falling star is my favorite sitting alone and not holding on you get so much air time.
The monster snaps a picture right at the drop in the beginning of the ride.
That ride the splashover is in a “cursed” spot lol when I worked there as a teen there was another ride there called the mixer that would break down while people were upside down 😳 they replaced the part multiple times before the final time the metal piece flew off and almost hit the teacups! They then decided it would be cheaper to replace it but this ride has the same issues..
Allison Fortune omg that what that ride. Is we have seen it so many times it’s just there’s a
Abandoned ride that’s always sitting at the back by the train tracks it’s kind of creepy now and we’ve always wondered what it’s history was and we’ve always wanted to go on it it’s really cool how you know the history about it thanks for letting me know that actually happened
tornado was the parks 3rd roller coaster, the 2 before it were called Der Flitzer and Super Screamer
hated the mixer. only ride as a small skinny kid i ever came close to sliding out of. never rode it again after that, it is the only road that has ever terrified me. nearly sliding out of a seat on a spinning ride like that, not so thrilling lol
I was here last week. I thought the food was surprisingly good, varied, and inexpensive. The Underground does, as you say, seem more like a dark ride. In fact, unlike similar rides like Black Diamond or Devil’s Den, which have gravity-driven drops, there is no drop in this ride at all. When I got off the skyride I walked briskly, as I’m used to these, but then they shouted at me that I have to run! Lol. Finally, Monster to me only seemed marginally better than similar rides, so a bit overhyped. However, the key is to marathon it at night when it’s all lit up - that elevated the ride to great for me.
The tornado is amazing do let these picky people fool you
dont*
Was a top 10 coaster when made.
That green coaster is nuts, but crazy fun
The Penny Collectors the monster?
This is a really fun, small park. I hit it on my Midwest tour this year.
This is the best place In Iowa you guys may not like it as much as us but we love it 💕
This park looks fabulous, thanks for sharing
The water rapids ride was built before the water park was put in FYI 🙂😂
Oh man this vlog has made me desperately want to visit this park more than any other. The Oktoberfest boot refills alone would be worth the flight out from LAX. I mean any park that serves Salvator on draft is a top park in my book. This got me laughing so many times, between the Judge Judy on TV to the Monster frozen mixed drinks and RCT Pig house Bacon on a Stick stand, this place looks absolutely magnificent.
Tornado was actually a decent ride in the front seat. The further back you get the tougher it is. Monster’s best element is the loop after the drop, front row outer left really whips you around!
Love the monster!! I live in Iowa and I go to Adventureland every few years
Dude the dragon is a fantastic ride
Been here 5 times love this place and it’s in my
Hometown Iowa
I havent been to this park in nearly 20 years. nice to see not much has changed =P
One of the best in the loop videos
Iowa adventure land is amazing my favorite part is the water park. It’s so fun because all the great water slides, the lazy river, etc...
The outlaw will always have a special place in my heart, even if I hate it to death, it is where my father proposed to my mother. Love the ride and hate it at the same time.
HANSON IS MY FAVORITE BAND😍♥️- SINCE 1997! And yes, Hanson has a beer called “MMMHops” lol. I have seen Hanson 35x. I’m going to be seeing them in November. Also Hanson played here yesterday in back of the Ferris wheel!
And as a super fan, what did you think of our singing?
Iowan here. Not born but raised.
Iowa Native, I spent a day every summer here. the G-force in the arcade used to be outside by the bumber cars, the underground rides.
Here’s some cool facts about Adventureland! I go almost every year for my birthday!
----------------------
-The brand new Monster rollercoaster replaced analog ride which was my favorite ride to go on 😥
- The wave pool is the biggest Wave Pool in Iowa
- There once was a fire downtown in the park
- The Tornado is was the first rollercoaster build
- Each trollies that take you from the hotel, campsite, and other places around the park all have names!
- The hotel recently added and arcade to it and it is so fun!
Here’s a good rant about my experience at adventure land.
-----------------------
I first went to adventureland I was 5 years old. On my 11th birthday I didn’t go :( Now Im going to be 12 in July and I might go again. But with one of my best friends and his siblings. I don’t usually get super excited about things but for some reason Adventure land has got me hyped!!!! It’s only January tho :( Also, the water park is so awesome too! 20 water slides, huge lazy river, Kokomo cove is also so amazing! It have at least 8 slides in a small area! IM SO EXCITED TO GO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Here something a bit interesting. Apparently during the early stages of development, AdventureLand was working with Disney. Which is way Main Street is so similar to Main Street USA
Alexandra McGinnis Wow that’s really cool! I didn’t know that
Olivia Easterling me and my best friend are going next Saturday and I'm so excited, my best friend is gonna force me onto the monster with me luck 😂
Madelyn G I’ve never been on the monster before 😂😂 Good luck
Olivia Easterling me neither that's the thing 😂😁
14:49 Oml the Bingo kid is literally me
Your 2 seconds of fame! B12! 😆👍🏼
Iowa native I love the heartland miss you all
The key to getting wet on Sawmill splash is making sure you're with a group of at least 6. You pick up speed and get drenched. Quick way to cool off without going to the waterpark!
And I’m the guy sitting at sheriff sams outpost 😂
I bought a season pass this year. Perfect for me and my 5 year old - 2020 season $140 each for the water park and amusement park and free parking. The water park, which they didn't show on the video, is excellent too. For Iowa this is a pretty nice park. The Underground and the Falling Star are the best rides if you are under 48". A great starter park for kids too.
The outlaw is so old and with how old it is I’m so glad they kept it open
Tornado is old but a staple for us iowans who have lived here all our lives. I rode the tornado when i was very young, and it brings those memories if just pure fun.. maybe lame to most, but ill keep it over other rides any day..
I live right next to adventure land.. ITS AWESOME I definetlyyyy recommend spaceshot!!
I love these tour and review videos. This one gets a big thumbs up as this seems like a neat little park and it looks like you guys had a blast filming the video. Keep em coming!
Ah, I love the Tornado.
I’m going with my cousins today so excited 😁
You are great and made 2 of my trips the first video I saw was when we were going to Kalahari we were gonna do mount Olympis but we decided to go to Kalahari after watching your video now we are going to Adventureland too can’t wait to go
“Iowans in there bathing suits and corn” 😅 love thst
I have been to this place 2 times and it’s so fun iowa doesn’t get as much recitation
Was there last weekend for the first time. It was so damn cool...and LOVED the lack of big corporate for food. Very neat, does have a spooky neverland feel to the front but considering the origins. Loved this park even though it was 100 that day
Wok and roll orange chicken is amazing btw
Went to the ice cream place on Main Street on the way out around closing time.....our family ordered 1 ice cream cone. The employees were going CRAZY, stacking like 3/4 gallon of ice cream balanced on the cone. It took my family of 3 about 30 minutes of constant eating to finish it. It was hilarious. Not sure if the Blue Bunny ice cream serving size is consistently ridiculously big or just a one time thing because of closing time.
I thought Outlaw was really good, definitely under rated. I enjoyed Tornado too, and rode it a few times. Dragon was terrible, probably the worst steel coaster ever, and I'd rather ride Anaconda. I was really let down by Underground.
How do you guys eat/drink all that sugar and junk food. Blah. And that beer is expensive.
At the end you asked the guy what he thought about the park but kept interrupting him when he tried to answer.
Beer prices weren’t bad for a theme park. I blame the interruptions on the booze
I hate the Dragon also but the Tornado, Outlaw and the Monster are all great. Plus the water park might be the best thing there
My grandpa works here. I dont talk to him anymore but i remember entering our car to see the theater animatronic, dubbed, bob the butthead in it.
Living in Iowa, this park is my childhood. The Tornado has been there since I remember and hasn’t changed at all. The Dragon is no longer there.
Depending on the conditions I've greyed/blacked out on the dragon in the loops. Also a ton of weird things about this park. Many of the games areas around Tornado and Dragon are from a different park in the downtown Dsm area. The Dragon Station used to be a haunted house with the mirrors being apart of that same park. It may not be the best park but works for us Iowans. Its a great go to in the summer and family centered and centrally located. Also the Disney feel want just taken from Disney, Disney actually helped design the entrance and main street with them.
Please consider coming back to this park and giving it another shot. It's got new owners (same people that own kennywood), new rides, and overall an updated vibe!
We went last year (but didn’t film a new tour and review video). Good chance one of us films a new one this year.
I was there when this was filmed. Hi!
I’ve ridden all of these rides I love all of them and I’m going in 3 days and on the 20th nvm 4 days 😂
As I recall you can see downtown Des Moines and it is beautiful
The Splash Over was closed for good when this video was shot. They are taking the ride out of the park. This ride has always sucked. Also, they're putting in a new steel coaster for 2019! It's gonna be a Maurer spinning family coaster. I'm excited!
I think it is a great move for the park, excited to see them continue to grow
The Splash Over is actually not being removed, however the inverter was and they are replacing the ride with a spinning coaster that is jam packed with compact track, the new coaster will be called Phoenix.
bingo used to be packed in 80s. at night at least. dad won flash light/lantern once
the corn jokes get more comedic each time
22:48 your talking to a guy who mainly eats Toaster Waffles Every day for breakfast.
Fun fact
the sawmill splash came before the river rapids ride and the water park
Hahaha he said that the monster is not that expensive yet it is 9 million 😂😂😂
Isn't there a ride that sticks you to the wall and spins really fast? Or am I just crazy?
There was, but it was removed in 2013. Was a rotor style ride, called the Silly Silo
Have you ever been to the I-X Indoor amusement park in Cleveland Ohio? If so I will have to see that video. I have only been there once, its just like a fair only indoors.
I have not been there
Yeah but the Tornado is a wooden roller coaster. It's nostalgia guys. My mom lover the ride back when I was a very little kid and she was a roller coaster enthusiast back then. Yeah I never liked ham balls and I've lived here in Iowa most of my life
At least good ol Drew is back. No offense Legend. Your both awesome.
Adventureland had the Saw Mill Splash, 4:53, before the waterpark.
Going there on Saturday
this was made on my birthday also im from iowa and went on the monster for the first time today
This is my favorite amusement park #Adventureland
The one ride i miss the most is the silly silo….
I love the tornado
That tunnel used to be ivy covered. I imagine it had to be regrown due to The Monster
Ham balls are an Iowan tradition though.
I heard while working there that the dinosaurs are there because of the barb wire fences around the ride, making it look like Jurassic Park. Imo it's ehhhh not that good lol.
The outlaw is the best one in my opinion
I miss this place, they give the best whiplash, quick and easy, painful but short.
dude go back they have a new spinning coaster and you didn't talk about the raging river!
I go to Adventureland every summer
Correct me if I'm wrong but I'm pretty sure they had an imagineer help plan their main street and entrance!
I believe that is correct
IOWINS TAKE OVERR
I was waiting to ride it, and one rider in that came back had passed out to the loops
Infinity Coaster! Not Eurofighter
Went on the tornado almost lost my hat
Somehow my uncle behind us caught it mid air like the f omg legend he is
And also the space shot it’s great for people who love heights or are scared of heights
But the ride didn’t give me any feeling when it shot up wasn’t fast or when it drop it also wasn’t fast and made me disappointed on how unfun it was
The Dragon is out too.
so much better than 2015
The Monster is a custom Infinity coaster, not a Eurofighter.
How much is a day pass and is it open now or closed because of the rona?
2020 dollars expect to pay approximately $110 to park and enter for 2 people. the water park is included in admission. Defo open 100% despite the rona,
Nice abs
how much is it to get in here im going in june
50$ a ticket I think, passes are more worth it though
The pig goodness gracious it looks cool but I work here and there is no ac or good ventilation
I’m from Iowa hometown park it’s a good placke
I’m so spoiled living in Orlando 😂😂😂
