stashua123 10213 Posted May 16, 2016 Share Posted May 16, 2016 Sorry if I am being shortcut stashua but another good way to get to Strickers Grove is to exit off of I-275 on Blue Rock near Ronald Reagan, take Blue Rock all the way over to near the Fort Scott subdivision across the Great Miami River to near the end of the road, take New Haven Rd to 128, turn right and then you will be there! I hope to go to Strickers Grove this year, since I have not been there since August 2011. It seems like a nice amusement park!! 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
homestar92 16347 Posted May 17, 2016 Share Posted May 17, 2016 Sigh... For most of my life, Stricker's was VERY conveniently located as it is only about 10 minutes from my parents' home. Now that I'm on my own, I'm much closer to KI than I used to be but Stricker's is a major chore to get to. Oh well. It's only a few days a year, so I can handle the drive. 8 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Oldiesmann 14476 Posted May 17, 2016 Share Posted May 17, 2016 I'll probably be up there at some point during the 4H fair, since it's more convenient for me that way (don't have to request a day off work to go). I haven't been in a couple years. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Magenta Lizard 18783 Posted May 17, 2016 Share Posted May 17, 2016 I'm definitely going (for the first time!) this summer. My 40th birthday is a day Stricker's is open and there is some late night ERT at KI. I'm going to make a day of things, starting early at KI, going to Stricker's in the afternoon, then back to KI. I originally was going to make it a "me day" as my present to myself, but my husband has shown some interest, as well, so I think he'll be doing the middle portion of the day with me (which is nice because I will be able to keep my excellent parking spot at KI). Having lunch and my first trip to Stricker's with my husband will make it even better than my original idea. Edit: what is the parking situation at Stricker's Grove? Is it a normal paved asphalt lot, or gravel, or what? 6 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
The Interpreter 82068 Posted May 17, 2016 Share Posted May 17, 2016 It isn't paved. It isn't really gravel. It's mostly grass... 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Diamondbacker 1337 Posted May 17, 2016 Share Posted May 17, 2016 ^it's gravel. Enjoy your trip! I need to ride the Tornado and Teddy Bear soon. EDIT: Terpy beat me to it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
teenageninja 1750 Posted May 17, 2016 Share Posted May 17, 2016 I get invited to a Picnic every year by a friend of mine. They rent out the park to themselves for about 4 hours and we always have a great time. The Teddy Bear and Tornado are great older wooden coasters. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
The Interpreter 82068 Posted May 17, 2016 Share Posted May 17, 2016 Older? Terp -- older. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bm0324 1787 Posted May 18, 2016 Share Posted May 18, 2016 Really a fun park, plus you can't beat their prices, and Tornado is definitely a coaster worth riding. The ejector air on that drop is incredible. I was expecting Jack Rabbit to be similar on the double dip..it's very good but it isn't like this!!
