Adventureland Park (2008) - "A to Z"

A video montage of all of the rides in Iowa's Adventureland amusement park - in alphabetical order! (Unfortunately, not all rides were operating on the opening day when I was there to shoot video, and it was so cold and window that crowds were very low and often I couldn't find anyone actually on the rides. Version 2 later this season may fix that.)
Incredibly cheesy 80s-sounding music from Instant Access Music (royalty free).

miss the log ride and silly silo. the silly silo used to be my fav before it broke and i have many memories of getting soaked on the log ride.

[@annikabergeson2597]

This is so cool because this is the amusement park i grew up, and this is how i remember it exactly as a child. Classic, fun rides! RIP Silly Silo, Log Ride, Inverter, and Dragon. 😭😭

[@allenhuffman]

Shyler Lover I wish I had taken more video when I got my first camcorder in 1999.

[@calan604]

It sucks that now in 2023 most of these rides are gone.

[@k9lover27]

[@jhzenor61481]

@sittles100 That's one ride I will never go on ever again, it scared the hell out of me when it lifted me into the air, I went in 2000, and then I went in 2004, and I haven't been back to Adventureland since.

[@Spodumene]

[@TH3HAMBURGL4R]

A great place to work at :)

[@jsn42]

[@MelanieSales]

I know,lol. I suscribe to you because i love the renaissance festival and have been to one, but when i seen this i actually recognized my brother first sitting next to me in the ride, cause he's disables and always gets excited about the rides.

[@woodencoasterfan]

Nice job!

[@gentjt38]

Underground is my favorite ride next to the Raging River.

[@annikabergeson2597]

RIP Dragon, Silly Silo, Log Ride, Inverter, Falling Star, Lighthouse, Splash Over, and Lady Luck.

[@allenhuffman]

Wow. That’s quite a list. I hope someone does a new video like this for the 2022 season when the new rides are added.

[@sydneyann10]

Adventurland is amazing! I go all the time! I love it! have fun there, if you've never been there before!(:

[@valeriecox4346]

[@billofwrights7695]

Good news! Adventureland is BRINGING THE FLUME BACK for the 2023 season in the form of DRAKEN FALLS!!!

[@allenhuffman]

Though it looks more like Sawmill Splash from the photo they posted.

[@vanessacourter6534]

My 7 favorite rides are galleon, tornado, dragon, falling star, log flume, sidewinder,

[@jhzenor61481]

Do any of you guys remember the Family Funzone game show that was hosted by Ben Ulin that was taped at Adventureland? I remember watching it on Channel 17 (KDSM-TV) years ago.

[@MelanieSales]

LOL, you got me allen,that's me and my brother on LadyLuck, omg, lol

[@webstert25]

Rip the dragon :(

[@jhzenor61481]

@allenhuffman Don't feel bad Allen, the last time I went to Adventureland was back in 2004, and I haven't gone back since. My mom took me, my brother and sister there many many years ago, and there's some rides my mom can't go on anymore because of some of her health problems, so you are not the only one.

[@therunawaysfan11]

I am going there tomorrow.

[@squeekir1]

I wanted to know what the scrambler was... But It's a old ride from adventureland that was taken out for a bit. :)

[@MileyCyrusRulesBOBW]

The Falling Star isn't running? That sucks . NEVER GO ON THE SPLASH OVER. It's SCARY .

[@zeldapwnz1]

my top 5= g-force raging river log ride himalaya and lady luck lol i love spinny rides

[@fr12jr34]

Back in early seventies I went to a park called Adventureland. It had a coaster called The Super Italian Bobs, a walk-thru fun house next to the coaster. A smaller version of the coaster called just the "bobs". A ride I think was called the Himalaya. Does this ring any bells with anyone? Is this the same park featured in video?

[@radiomonkeyhunter]

Nope, this in Iowa, the one your talking about was in Illinois

[@Moocow002]

you won't believe how many people have told me the exact same thing!

[@rachelr1191]

can you do an updated version!?!?! 2016 version?!?!

[@allenhuffman]

I would love to, but I have not been since 2009.

[@allenhuffman]

I will be updating for 2016, and trying to post more footage from the extinct rides.

[@usjets08]

Falling Star is all time favorite

[@rockyandyipper]

[@djkain2007]

@allenhuffman i was there a mth ago, needs a transmission

[@wager42]

what about the scrambler ?

[@rockyandyipper]

Triple H this was before the scrambler came, this was in 2008, the scrambler was 2011, it took the spot of the G Force, while the g force was moved into main street arcade.

[@edgarkephart8153]

I went yesterday

[@lexicrawford6746]

he didn't show space shot

[@allenhuffman]

3:05 is Space Shot.

[@Fondofela]

why is falling star always closed oh and 100th comment :)

[@iyules12]

i wen6t ot adventureland yesterday it was the bomb everyone try the falling star but sit with a partner or you get bruises=not fun

[@njdotson]

I thought G-Force was inside.

[@Maeve2011]

This video was made back in 2008 it looks like. I believe the shops down Main Street burned down in 2010 and when they rebuilt it, they moved the G-Force inside and put a bunch of arcade games around it and brought back The Scrambler. Here's where your mind gets blown. The Scrambler was first removed back in 2002 to make room for the less impressive (imo) Saw Mill Splash. They then placed it where the G-Force used to sit in the park.

[@DSMeTailer]

You allowed your balls to be crushed five whole times before assuming a defensive position...?

[@MileyCyrusRulesBOBW]

No but I will .

[@GraveyardWarden]

g force is awesome u could handle that 1 but the rest no way

[@kaitlynparker542]

[@billofwrights7695]

#adventureland

[@allenhuffman]

I haven’t been since 2018. It’s interesting watch the comments on their Facebook page. Whatever the new owners did seems to have upset a lot of their fans.

[@billofwrights7695]

It’s true, Palace Entertainment truly changed the face of A-Land.

[@adiopunk2007]

is not the same

[@roblox2211]

@xXxLaurenxXx1000 it sucks compared to world of fun

[@katharinesweeney9648]

this opening song sucks

[@allenhuffman]

Surely you can't like any of those cheesy old royalty free music beds I used for any of this video :-)
