| - Talk about loads of fun and a rush!
I took the 25 min drive down to the area so that I could check out the toboggans that were in the area. The drive wasn't that bad but once you get down towards the actual park (if it's at night), the lighting almost completely disappears and it is DARK! Once you get a little closer to the area, though, you start seeing signs of life again. Upon arrival, go straight to the ticket booth, as opposed to what I did which was wandering around on the inside where there's a community area and a little restaurant. Nobody helped or offered to, so I had to figure that out myself.
A ticket for one ride was 6 bucks and you're given a wristband which is also your ticket. YOU MUST HAVE ON GLOVES! The steps to the top of the chute/toboggan run are tall and long. It took FOREVER for me to get up there. But being on a Thursday night, I didn't have to worry about those long lines that others have mentioned. After it's ensured that you have on gloves, you are seated on your sled thingy, the gates are opened, and you slide down. It's an awesome drop and super fast! Brakes stop you at the end and you hop off.
My only issue was the help of the workers. As I said, first walking in, nobody was helpful at all. At the top of the run, the workers were debating over who was going to put the sleds on the track, or who was going to pick them up and load them. Then once I got back inside I was asking to see if the cameras were up and running and the workers behind the food counter were asking some of the other younger workers and everyone was acting all spaced out and finally said that no they weren't working. I don't think they really even checked. It looked like they were just in a rush to get packed up and go home, even though it was only 9:20 and they didn't close till 10.
Other than that, great time, fun and exciting ride. It should definitely be somewhere you stop!
