Hi there

Wild Adventures had a family special this summer ($100 for a two days pass for a family of four) so we took advantage.

After years of regular visits to WDW and Universal, it did feel like a state fair, but there are many really fun rides. Several great coasters....Cheetah was a bit of a rough ride for me, but I couldn't get enough of Boomerang. Now, that is a FUN coaster!

It was a kick to ride some of those "oldie but goodies" too....like Tilt a Whirl and the swings.

Have a great visit.

Actually, I live in Valdosta and hold a season pass there. The park is relatively new, and has been transformed from a petting zoo into a miniature Busch Gardens (minus the beer). There's are 3 coasters that you have to go on... Cheetah (wooden, FAST, and very new), Boomerang (think the Viper at Six Flags, but better), and The Hangman, which is a lot like the Batman ride at Six Flags Over Georgia. The park is really great for kids, and has a ton of kiddie rides, but there's stuff for "big kids" as well. They also have concerts every couple of weeks (James Brown this weekend)and that's free with park admission. They have a website: http://www.wild-adventure.com. It lists the concerts, ext.
The park is pretty interesting, in that it started as a petting zoo with farm animals, and really developed overnight into a fun-park. The owner started building benches and pavilions for field-trip groups to sit and eat, got a "safari train" to look at the animals, and it took off from there. It's an interesting place with some fun rides and a lot of potential for greatness, IMHO. Enjoy..

well that has made up my mind i have to be there sunday 10/14 morning to try this park out. I was afraid it was a glorified county fair carnival, but it sounds like fun. thanks for all the input

Well, it's definately not the best park out there or anything, but like I said, it's got a lot of potential, and 3 great coasters already... It's a lot of fun for us folks who can't make it down to Orlando once every year or two...

Megbri, since this is your home turf, any Mythos type places to eat at wild adventures?????

 

[megbri]

Well, I've never had the pleasure of going to Mythos, but Wild Adventures still has a long ways to go when it comes to restaurants. It's basically like 6 Flags (walk up in a concession line)...

Wild Adventures has been running a 2nd day free deal. You might want to see if it is running when you go.
