coasterfanatic83 Posted August 11, 2014 Share Posted August 11, 2014 Today was my first time in this neat little park. I can see it being fun for families, but I am not the target audience here. However, I had a lot of fun over the span of a few hours, for a great price as well! Some notes: Tornado and Teddy Bear are fun little coasters, with a few pops of air on both. What I really enjoyed was the buzz bars. I can't recall ever riding a ride with these as the restraint system, so that was neat. Are they the same style of buzz bars that used to be on The Beast? Electric Rainbow = never again. Those rides make me sick every time. Like I mentioned, it's hard to beat the prices here. $15 for a full afternoon of stuff to do is very nice, especially in this day in age. I smoked the mini golf course like a cheap cigar. If anybody wants to compare scores (especially Goble, who apparently was the champ last fall), I shot a 22 on the front 9 and a 34 on the back, for a total of 56. The hole with the cone for a cup got me, as I shot a 9 on that hole alone! I hadn't played Skee-Ball in what seemed like forever, so that was fun! Some photos: Thanks for reading!

jcgoble3 Posted August 11, 2014 Share Posted August 11, 2014 Most of us on here are not the target audience for Stricker's Grove, but it's still a fun park for a price that's hard to beat. Glad you had fun! I smoked the mini golf course like a cheap cigar. If anybody wants to compare scores (especially Goble, who apparently was the champ last fall), I shot a 22 on the front 9 and a 34 on the back, for a total of 56. The hole with the cone for a cup got me, as I shot a 9 on that hole alone! After adjusting that hole for the five-stroke maximum (which we enforced during our little competition) listed on the back of the scorecard, you would have a 52, which would have beaten me by one stroke. I had a 53 that day. Despite this, I will continue to keep the gold banner in my signature until October, because yours is a practice round and practice rounds don't count. Come October, BRING IT! 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoraX Posted August 11, 2014 Share Posted August 11, 2014 I had not been there before until today. It is a nice little park. It's kind of "weird" seeing ride ops smoking cigarettes or eating while operating rides. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coasterfanatic83 Posted August 11, 2014 Author Share Posted August 11, 2014 And watching people pull out their phones on the rides and videotape the whole thing without an employee saying a single word... a different place indeed! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
