I doubt we'll go this year, but, we'll have to make a trek over there next year. Thanks, Interpreter!

Heres some pictures I found online for anyone interested the late Thunderbold Express (Screamin' Demon)

Unfortunetly, the website hasn't been updated in some time, but they're still cool pictures.

I am reliably told that the miniature golf course opened today. It's apparently seven dollars, six with an admission ticket....

I live about a half an hour away from Camden Park and I' planning on going there this weekend. It's a great park! The haunted house is truly one of a kind. I didn't go on the sky ride but at the very end of the line you use to be able to see screamin demon's old station. It looks so cool. Hooray for miniature golf!!

Nothing is left of Thunderbolt Express. Not a trace! It's quite remarkably gone! Not a footing, not a trace.

Then maybe it wasn't the station I use to see?? I don'tknow I just remember from the ride a creepy old building of some sort lol. I'm pretty excited to head up to the park. The Big Dipper will be my first rollercoaster of the year!!

The creepy old building you speak of used to be used for miniature golf many, many years ago. It is also gone!

Don't miss Lil Dipper, too! It got a lot of new trackwork during the off season, and is the last surviving NAD kiddie coaster!

Ahhhh...It makes sense now. I've been wrong all this time. Well it wouldn't be the first time. I always hit up lil dipper too. along with the haunted house. it's amazing!

You mean not a footer!

I'm going tonight to try out the new miniature golf. I will take pics and post them here as soon as I can.

that would be sweet. I wonder when they are going to get any new rides?

You go to OU?! I live about 15 miles north of you. Have you ever heard of Jacksonville. It's near Glouster where Trimble High School is...I think you're the closest person to me on the site!

Yep, and yes I have heard of Jacksonville and Glouster. I have spent much of my time on weekends driving around in the areas surrounding Athens. KI must be quite the treck for you.

Ummm....I hope you realized that Camden Park is not open weekdays during May!

Apparently, there is a place with home-made ice cream just west of Camden Park on US60, and it's worth a try:

Did you get rained on? The park looked pretty empty!

Nice trip report Ronny. I don't think I would like the longer cycles on the spinning rides, though. Very impressed by their log flume.

Thank you! I like this site, I am a long time lurker. That was opening day and we actually missed the rain. By the way the Pronto pups were excellent as were the funnel cakes. I visited the park because of this trip report.

Excellent TR. Even though you visited last year Ronny, it looks like a lot of fun and I'll definately have to head up to Huntington to check it out.

Park opens May 1. New attraction coming. Can't say more for now...but soon...

I love the art deco design on that coaster! Ronny, once again, excellent pictures!
