Little Amerricka PTR

Today I went to Little Amerricka and was one of the worst Sundays of my life. Every ride was painful but the worst was Test Pilot. It lift you up and down and spins you a lot. My dad and I got really sick and kept telling them to stop the ride after 10 MINUTES of it and they wouldn't stop. Yes, we counted! Everytime when we yelled "STOP THE RIDE!" the guy would look at us and laugh. This was my 3rd ride and because of this it already ruined my day. Wild and Wooly Toboggan was small, tight, and painful. Meteor was very well set up and had a good pace for an old ride. Mad Mouse was very painful and the drops were tight together. I looked down and the front wheels of it came off the track and my car tipped sideways. I got off and asked the guy if this was safe and he said, "it's pure carni." Good thing it was at the end of the ride. I was so sick I didn't ride anything else and went to Madison's East Towne Mall, ate at Red Lobster and headed home.
Wild & Wooly Toboggan - 1 time
Meteor - 2 times
Test Pilot - 1 time
Mad Mouse - 1 time
Little Dipper - 1 time
Monorail - 1 time

Sign saying how Meteor is an ACE landmark.

First up, Wild & Wooly Toboggan.

Up we go on W&W Toboggan. (Yes, I had permission to take this. He said people do it all the time.)

Meteor is in sight!

Ugh, Test Pilot. :chairhit:

Mini Putt

On the Monorail.

Another pic on the Monorail.

High speed bumper boats.

Yet, another pic of the monorail.

What a surprise! I spotted a monorail!

A glimpse at Mad Mouse.

Test Pilot and Ferris Wheel.

Nice pics. Though their Manorails is a elevated railway. didnl't they ever see the Simpson's episode " mono meaning 1, and rail meaning rail."

^Indeed, it is an elevated railway. Yet, its official name is "Monorail". I see where you're going because it runs on 3 rails. Very weird.

Test Pilot is old school. Knoebels has one of those and I rode it because of how rare and old fashioned they are. It was just as extreme as you said. I took it though. It passed state inspection. Like a Zipper you have to have balls to do it and last it. It's a like a modern day Chance Inverter, just slower and not inverting.

I didn't think Test Pilot was that bad... Also, Mad Mouse is insane. Best ride in the park without trying.

^I hated Mad Mouse. Very painful and the especially the tight drops at the end. I almost tossed my McBurrito then.

Wow, maybe you just got it on a bad day. It wasn't rough at all when I rode it.

I guess so. It felt like I was going to fly off the track. It started off rather fun, but towards the end when it gained speed it was awful. I have to say though, Meteor was very smooth!

^Yes, I did. My dad said I looked awkward and he didn't ride because he thought it was embarassing. He doesn't understand credit though.

I've been on a variation of Test Pilot at county fairs. Those are fun!

^I don't mind them for a short time, but this went on for over 5 minutes. The guy told us he'll keep going until we say stop. Well, we did say STOP like 7 times before he actually stopped it.
