Wild Adventures 2005

I went to Wild Adventures yesterday and to my surprise they were putting up two screamin' swing towers! I allready knew they were doing it but I didn't realise how fast they could put them up. They put both of them up in like 1 day! It looks awsome I can't wait until it opens. O yeah it is called the Gaunlet.

Yuo should've taken some pictures. That's pretty cool, it looks like these are the new Pay Per Rides for now. I think it's not worth the money though.......

I don't think the swings well make you pay money to ride them. Do the ones at KBF make you? And how many screamin swings are there?

Um its in Valdosta,Ga down I-75 and I think it is exit 13 and you go right and it is excatcly 4 miles down the road. Don't worry you will now when you get there because there is a huge flag at the entrance.

I think he ment where in the park will the new ride be relocated?

I don't exactly understand. Are they getting two of them, or did they just put both of the arms up for the one ride?

If it's more of a larger capacity kind then I don't think it will be a pay per ride, but if it's less like the one at Knott's, then probably.

All my family live down in southeast Georgia close to Brunswick, Jesup, Screven. Wild Adventures is "the thing to do" down there, cuz it's the ONLY thing to do! I've never been.

I know one thing. They own the most advertisements on I-75 for MILES away from the park. I remember that from my trip down to Orlando a few weeks ago. I was like, "Holy Crap, they really want you to go to their park, huh?" Actually, if I had time I would have. Looks like a great up-and-coming park!

The Cheetah is excruciatingly rough. I've heard that numerous times by non-enthusiasts, so it must be pretty bad. LOL.

^ Yea! My and my friends try to count them when we go... but we always loose track... Any way If you want to know where it is located in the park it is in Treasure Cove where the bumper boats used to be. I may got to Wild Adventures this weekend and if it is open I will give you a full report.

Wow, they got two seperate rides! That's great. This'll sure be a good advertisment for the park. The billboards are crazy! And a lot are re-peats too.

Anywho, I'll have to get down to this park this year to ride this and all it's other rides!

Seems to be a popular ride these days.
Wild Adventures advertises heavy in the north Florida area. I was in Ocala last week and there were radio and billboard ads all over the place.
