They have a castle bigger than Disneyland.

If you wanted , you could take a lap around the castle in a pumpkin.

The Final brake run was super rough.

Best ride in the Park. Even the front of the train says #1 coaster in the world.

Final Splash of the day.

It was a Charming little park but...... it's going to take a lot more then six outdated coasters to fill that over priced hotel they have. I would definitely pair this park up  with something else to do rather then just going for the day. Oh wait, I'm the only fool who does that.  Hoffman's was a nice little stop along the way.  Credits  223, 24 , 25, 26, 27 Have now been completed.

Besides the brake run, how was the rest of the ride?? It looks pretty cool, I like the paint job on it.

Thanks for the pics Bubba, maybe I'll hold off on going there until they get all of the coasters open.

The sleds get really loose in the turns which is cool, but then it slams into each of  the MCBR's getting worse at each one until it finally slams into the last one.   

If they didn't change the design of the trains as where you sat single file, I don't think it would have hurt as much.

I agree the new paint job was a nice touch!
