Spacely's...

but besides that... Batman. Bad first coaster in my opinion, but in the end it was a good turnout. Got me into riding them more.

I was 6, I went to SF:Stl with my family. I tried riding the Screamin' Eagle, but I absolutely hated it and wouldn't go on another coaster all day. I didn't ride a coaster for about 4 years, until finally, I got the balls to try The Hoosier Hurricane at Indiana Beach. I've been hooked ever since.

Small kiddie coaster that used to reside at the Illinois state fairgrounds around 1988 - 89. It had a chain lift hill, but it was very small. It seemed almost like a compact version of the Acme Gravity Powered Roller Ride at SFSTL. My second coaster was River King Mine Train at SFSTL.
It's the most fun in the park when your laughing in the dark.

A furious storm once roared `cross the sea, catching ships in its path, helpless to flee. Instead of a certain and watery doom, the winds swept them here to Typhoon Lagoon!
