From The Vault: Adventureland 1996 Map + Brochure

Hopefully you guys like when we share some older stuff here, because it is looking like there will be plenty more time for me to be digging through the archives... Today we take a look at Adventureland (Iowa) in 1996, with the park's general brochure and park map.

It's nice to see some smaller and independent parks featured here as well, since they're really (probably really, really) going to need their fans to support them this summer whenever they can open. The big companies will have an easier time staying afloat during these extended closures. Just something to keep in mind.

Anywho, in 1996 Adventureland debuted The Underground, a wildly unique wooden roller coaster that's more of a slow moving dark ride than a coaster. It was built by Custom Coasters International and lets riders enter the dark former hangout of some western themed bad guys. Not a very scary ride, as there are really no drops or anything of that sort, but a fun attraction for the kiddos. If you're looking for thrills, as this brochure suggests, the park's Dragon, Tornado and Outlaw coasters are where the real fun is at!

The park's map didn't change much through the years. In fact, it still looks similar (though with an awful lot of additions) in 2020! Since the park's big new ride of the year took place indoors it was pretty hard to draw it on the map - so I guess in that sense a big black spot worked to help draw attention. These days it looks like some rocks, grass trees and a cave opening. Arguably better, but not as attractive as the Monster, a large Gerstlauer Infinity coaster added in 2016!
