Heads will be in the clouds at this summer, and that鈥檚 a great thing!
It its continued quest to provide a world-class experience for visitors of all ages, the park has added the Cloud Buster to its ride line-up. Rising 151 feet off the ground, above even the tallest trees on-site, 鈥測ou can see right across to the far end of the lake,鈥� says park owner Chris Steunenberg.
But while spectacular, the views aren鈥檛 really what riders are looking for.
It鈥檚 the drop.
Harnessed in a circle of seats, riders are winched to the top before plummeting back to earth in a free-fall reaching around 90kph 鈥� equivalent to about 4 1/2 Gs.
With delighted screams regularly ringing out, 鈥渢he response has been off-the-charts. It鈥檚 the most aggressive ride at the park,鈥� Steunenberg says.
Here鈥檚 how to check it all out:
鈥� First, plan ahead to save. 鈥淲e offer an incredible discount ticket available through the ,鈥� Steunenberg says. On the back of every waterpark ticket is a coupon for a $15 wristband to the Adventure Park to be used at a later date. That鈥檚 a savings of up to $11 and provides access to all rides 鈥� including the Cloud Buster!
鈥� Make the most of your day. 鈥淐ome early and stay late,鈥� Steunenberg advises, noting the park is . 鈥淲e open every day at noon and that first little while is quietest 鈥� the perfect time to check out the most popular rides.鈥�
鈥� Take a stroll to get your bearings. One of last year鈥檚 new additions remains one of its best features: an elevated boardwalk that weaves through the trees and offering a unique perspective with great views of the park. 鈥淚f you haven鈥檛 been here before, you鈥檒l be blown away,鈥� Steunenberg says. 鈥淓verything is very carefully designed so that every ride has its own character. Be prepared to be amazed!鈥�
鈥� Take a turn around the (mini) links. Adventure Park thrills don鈥檛 only come in the air or on the rails! Visit the wonderful world of , a cartoon mountain lumber camp with 18 different mini-golf holes, each with its own quirks and challenges. Hole No. 12 actually takes golfers through a cave beneath the Cloud Buster, and if you sink a hole-in-one on the 18th hole, the train鈥檚 horn will signal a free game!
