Trip Report- Branson USA

The park reminds me of a permanent carnival park. There's hardly any grass, and few trees, but considering it only opened a few years ago, they're doing a good job. This park runs on the ticket system, or you can buy an all-day pass, which was what I did. The park was VERY VERY VERY uncrowded; I never waited more than 10 seconds to get on a ride.

First I went to Windstorm. I'd ridden a clone of it (I think?) in Seattle, but this one seemed rougher. Though there was never any line whatsoever, the ride ops weren't allowing repeat rides.

Next I went to the water rides section, where I rode the two water slides. They were pretty fun, and I only got a little wet. However, I then went on their sorry log flume. Ha. I got drenched.

Finally I rode the Zyklon coaster, which is like a wild mouse, another cloned coaster. This one was relocated from... WHAT???!!! HAMMELL'S PARK!!!!! HAMMELL'S PARK WAS THE SECOND PARK I EVER WENT TO, AND IT INCLUDED MY VERY FIRST COASTER!!! THIS ONE AT BUSA WAS THE VERY FIRST COASTER I EVER RODE AND WHEN HP CLOSED I THOUGHT I'D NEVER SEE OR RIDE IT AGAIN! WOW! THIS IS FREAKY!!!
Sorry, just had to get that out! It was an okay ride, because I'm older, but if you sat in the back seat you got a little air.

The park also has a few good flats, especially a cool HUSStler-type contraption (my nickname for them).

Overall, a boring park, but I experienced a wonderful sense of reminiscing. Wow. What a great park.
