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.

Hey I was out of town for the 4th but I'll be there Fri and Sat this weekend for the 4H Fair... hoping they still have some of those T-shirts 

I really want to get back to this park.

They have plenty of shirts, I doubt they are limited to 100 like it was reported.  They also have sweatshirt, enamel pins, and cheap plastic cups.  The enamel pins are really nice.

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 

That's a really cute shirt! 

Did you ride Teddy Bear or Tornado? Saw on Facebook someone stated they've gotten extremely rough.

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. 

I miss those two coasters....need to get back. 

Here is the enamel pin.
