WILD ADVENTURES The Park
Right off the Florida/Georgia border in a little town of Valdosta, GA lies a park undiscovered by tourists. You know this when all you hear are those Georgia accents and not a yankee accent in hearing range. Wild Advenutres is definately a local favorite for the people around those parts. You know it's still a small park when you see a mascot bug named "Wiff" that farts. Asides that, it's a growing park, and in time may be widely known. The park has plenty of land to add on to. The theming is kept to a minimum, sometimes with inexplicable rides like Pharoah's Fury in Bug's Ville. The paths are very neat and clean, but some of the rides show wear on them. The employees are generally friendly, even the people that give you your parking reciept. Lines are fairly low, so one train is sufficient for running. The animals are quite unique. And I did go during the Christmas celebration, which was quite enjoyable. The lights were everywhere at night which made for a good view on the Aviator.
Overall, the park needs improving, but is on it's way.

The Coasters I'll start with the worst and work my way up.
Tiger Terror
5% on the Rocketman-O-Meter
Tiger Terror is simply the roughest kiddie coaster ever. Rattles, shakes, and fails to thrill anyone of any age. Get this sucker replaced, and fast!
Gold Rush
25% on the Rocketman-O-Meter
Short, with some surprises in the way of sudden g-forces. Although transportable, this ride is a good amount of fun for a kiddie coaster.
Ant Farm Express
35% on the Rocketman-O-Meter
Pretty much a Woody Woodpecker clone. A fun kiddie, and you get 2 laps on it which makes it 2x as good!
Bug Out
42% on the Rocketman-O-Meter
This can be a painful ride as I have learned. Trim brakes are as hard as The Simpsons' "Tooth Chipper" coaster. Air time in the back seat can prove to be spine-jarring. Once you brace yourself(as I learned 1 ride too late), it can be a fun ride.
Boomerang
50% on the Rocketman-O-Meter
You all know and hate these rides. Well, this one lacks the extreme roughness of others, but manages to still give a bit of a trashing if you sit in the right seat. I don't have to write more, cause you've probably experienced one.
Hangman
54% on the Rocketman-O-Meter
As I call it "The Stank Coaster", Hangman is cursed with massive OTSR that stick of dried and fresh sweat. Similar to other SLCs, but not as rough, the Hangman is moderately entertaining with some worth while inversions. Front row is a must if you are to make the most of it.
Cheetah

Finally, the reason why Wild Adventures is worth going to. The speed is blazing and the hills are small, providing for some very big airtime. At night, this gives one heck of a ride, so make sure you ride this at night! The figure 8 finale shakes you about, and a few more bunny hops to replace this would have gotten this a higher ranking. Lots of airtime to be had!
Other Stuff - Animal Train is nice and enjoyable. The ostrich came right up to the train and was threatening to peck at guests!
- Double Shot is OK, 2 good pops of airtime and that's it.
- Aviator gives an excellent view of the park.
- Christmas lights were excellent.
- Yo-Yo is a good swing ride for nighttime.
