Megan had a lot of fun riding this smaller coaster, in fact she liked it so much she rode it 4 times. After the second ride she said that she liked the part where you twist around, but after the third ride she said that the hill was the best part.

The Boss is definitely one of our favorite rides and is a huge wooden roller coaster that is one of the top ten in the country. The lines (or lack thereof) were so small we got to ride it 3 times in a row..which may not sound like much until you’ve ridden a wooden roller coaster this size and have felt how much it jerks you around.

Bumper Cars

Antique “Moon” Cars

Megan got to drive a 1911 Cadillac, however she was a professional working on a close course.

See how the person in the row behind us is giving Benjamin rabbit ears?
