rlentless Posted July 2 Share Posted July 2 Just in case anyone is interested. It's a fun little park and I believe they open to the public every 4th of July and a few select dates throughout the summer. https://local12.com/news/local/strickers-grove-fourth-of-july-4th-summer-amusement-park-theme-fair-rides-rollercoaster-ferris-wheel-field-cornfield-opening-to-the-public-this-week-for-celebration-festival# Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They also have sweatshirt, enamel pins, and cheap plastic cups. The enamel pins are really nice. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnjniehaus Posted July 13 Share Posted July 13 Got my shirt! Fun evening up there tonight. My grandma went and is still doing the flying scooter, scrambler, tornado, teddy bear, carousel, flying elephant, and train at 66. Hope I'm still having fun at that age. It's just funny that my mom and all of my aunts and uncles won't ride anything anymore but grandma is still doing it. My dad is following in his mother's footsteps and is still going strong riding but grandma is setting that bar higher each year for him 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orion-XL200 Posted July 14 Share Posted July 14 That's a really cute shirt! Did you ride Teddy Bear or Tornado? Saw on Facebook someone stated they've gotten extremely rough. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it depends on your age and definition/tolerance for roughness. I personally think Teddy Bear is pretty smooth. It's not any worse than Woodstock Express at KI if you ask me. Tornado jostles you around a bit and has those two sharp ejector airtime moments. No it's not as smooth as the Gravity Group prefab track on The Racer but it is no where near as rough as The Racer was pre re-tracking. My 66 year old grandma is still riding the tornado multiple times with no complaints so I'd take that to mean it isn't that rough. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
